El café más grande (una jarra) y barato que me han servido hasta ahora en toda Europa.
Están a punto de ampliar el local, recomiendo muchísimo venir, tienen precios increíbles y un mar de platos diferentes… pocos locales como estos quedan en Europa por la horrible genteificación

I’ve been coming here for about three years, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The canjeero and suqaar are especially tasty, and the portions are generous—perfect for a satisfying breakfast.
The tea is absolutely amazing and really completes the meal. What makes this place even more special is the atmosphere—the staff are always friendly and welcoming, and you can really feel the care in Auntie Aisha’s comforting, home-style cooking.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Somali food and a warm, inviting experience.

Si queréis café, este es el sitio. Una jarra entera de café literalmente por 2'50£. Nunca me habían servido tanto café recién molido a tan buen precio.
La dueña es muy tierna y agradable y acompaña el ambiente del local con su familiaridad y su calidez.

We found this little Café on our way to Camden town market two weeks ago. I just had to stop as I love Somali Chai and food. Hoyoo was a super nice lady. She brewed a fresh Chai for me and gave me one of her pan cakes which was super good. It was a perfect dessert after we ate her amazing Sambuus. Absolutely delicious. I wish I would've found her earlier. Unfortunately it was our last day in London that day. Next time when we come to the UK, her little Restaurant will be on my list of places to go to.

Sehr kleines und überschaubares Restaurant mit wundervoller Inhaberin. Auch wenn das Ambiente recht schlicht ist - Das Essen war wirklich lecker, zubereitet mit vollem Herz was man schmeckt. Kommen gerne wieder!

My experience here was absolutely amazing. The chef was great and it was clear the food was really authentic and fresh. They ran out of bananas but specially went out for us to grab some more. Top tier service! The prices were very reasonable and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. I’m glad I tried it out and I would definitely come again!

Excellent restaurant well worth checking out. Abdi & him mum (I think) looked after us. We had a couple of lamb dishes (didn’t catch the name of them, unfortunately) & both were sensational. Highly recommend the banana with Somali rice. Also got to try a sambosa & some shaah.
Thank you for the lovely hospitality & food.

The meal I just ate at Paradise Somali café restaurant left me feeling invigorated. I had lamb Mandi With rice and a delicious spinach side. The lamb was like nothing I’ve ever had before. Not gamey but tender and flavorful.
And a few days ago, I stopped in for a beef Samosa, which is when I decided to come back for dinner.

Stopped here with 5 friends, this afternoon for a delicious late lunch of chicken salad, rice and spinach. (Not forgetting the superb chilli sauce)
The staff, an extremely friendly family, were very accommodating and the food only came to about £13 per head.
A marvellous experience that I would thoroughly recommend 👌

I visited for the first time yesterday with friends.
The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious, so I would definitely love to come back. The prices are reasonable, and I don’t think you can find another place like this in London. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. I’ll be visiting again soon!

Such great food and a wonderful owner! I came here before going to a gig at Kentish town forum which is on 10 mins walk away.
The food was so delicious and the owner was so lovely. It was my first time trying Somali food and she advised me on what to get and even gave me the most delicious complimentary samosa on the house. I will 100% be back!
~ Gabriella F
Food was absolutely fantastic, staff was quick, professional, and extremely kind. The auntie working in the kitchen made the food with love. Best and most flavorful meal I had in the UK hands down! Their coffee is also excellent. On par with some of the great Somali/Eritrean restaurants I’ve tried in the US.
~ Dain J
Just had the BEST meal at this hidden gem! The rice and beef dish was cooked to perfection and the pasta with salmon was chef's kiss! Top notch quality and the ladies who prepare it are lovely and welcoming. Highly recommend – gonna be back for more of that incredible Somali food!
~ Mika F
I stopped by on a whim for some lunch and had a great experience! Staff were friendly and accommodating, the food was freshly cooked and full of flavour. Was surprised by the generous portion sizes - such great value for money. Will definitely consider coming back next time I’m in the area!
~ Emma L
Lovely little place, constant activity in and out from good people wanting great food. Get in and have whatever the auntie behind the counter offers you, she won’t overcharge you and she will make it brilliant. Lovely place, friendly people, fantastic food.
~ Spages
I arrived close to closing time and we were very kindly still made some food and made to feel so welcome even as they were packing things up.

My first time trying Somali food and it was delicious! A very friendly welcome too. I had the chicken Zigni, super tasty and served with a properly hot fresh green chilli sauce. I'll be back to try some of their other dishes!
~ Duncan P
Amazing food and great experience. I had rice with lamb and it was full of flavour, really well cooked. My friend had pasta with beef steak and loved it too. The green chilli sauce was 10/10 and the Somali tea was perfect. Definitely coming back.
~ Abdulrazaq M
I loved this place. One of those hidden gems you find occasionally. Small. Intimate. Really tasty, clean food cooked in front of you. I had passed by earlier and picked up a fresh coffee, which was excellent quality.

Incredible authentic Somali food. Extremely high quality. The service is so friendly and I felt very at home here. I can very much recommend to non Somali people who want to try something a bit different, you won't regret it!!!
