About Safari Restaurant

Generous Somali and East African home cooking anchors this unpretentious Nollamara stop. Regulars come for the crisp, handmade sambusas—fried fresh with spiced mince—and massive combination boats that easily feed a crowd. Stews and curries like tender beef sukuma arrive with your choice of traditional staples folded right into the order, whether that means torn injera, warm chapati, or ugali. The dining room runs at an easygoing pace, with the host often stepping in to walk first-timers through the cuts of slow-simmered goat and fragrant bowls of maraq ari.

  • Staples included: Main curries and stews include traditional sides like injera, flaky chapati, or ugali at no extra charge.
  • Crisp handmade sambusas: Handmade Somali sambusas with savory spiced mince fried to order in minutes.
  • Generous group platters: Multi-dish shared boats and platters provide substantial portions designed for groups.

    Most main curries and stews already come with your choice of staple carbohydrate included—such as injera, chapati, rice, or ugali—so check before ordering extra sides.

  • Expect generous portions

    Portions and combo sharing platters like Boat 2 are exceptionally generous and can easily feed double the listed diners, so plan on taking leftovers home.

    The owner and staff regularly guide newcomers through unfamiliar East African dishes, so feel free to ask for personalized recommendations.
