So so good. I got the #1, a goat meat dish with rice and the flavor was exceptional. Will definitely go back when I'm in the area.

Waamo restaurant is so good and don't even get me started on their food Mashallah best restaurant ever .‼‼‼

Such a cool atmosphere to see. Staff were informative and the menu was diverse. Great place if you want to try something new. Would absolutely recommend and will be returning.

Great value. Tasty food. Cheap prices. Easy parking. Very generous servings. I had the baked goat meat which was very tasty which a large green salad.

My boyfriend and I discovered this place randomly one day and now we find ourselves frequently visiting, we like Mediterranean, Greek, and Ethiopian, this place seems like the perfect mixture of all 3. The quality and flavor of the food is something you won't be able to forget. I get the chicken shawarma plate and my boyfriend gets the hilib plate. He is always pleasantly surprised by how tender and flavorful the meat is. We both love the delicious rice too. Try this place, They don't miss

Great Somali/east African food at a good price. Seems like they've been here for a while, for good reason. Shares private parking in a strip mall; we had no issue finding a spot. Place was kind of empty on a weekday night but that didn't bother me. Lamb Shank - came with giant piece of lamb, bone in, rice, and a side salad. Everything was delicious and seasoned well. I was recommended to order this and now I'm recommending other people to order it lol. Beef Sukhaar - Well seasoned beef sukhaar with a salad on rice. This/the chicken sukhaar is perfect for a rice plate that you might want to have as lunch the next day. Sambusa - Comes with 2 nice and crispy large sambusas. Wish the filling was seasoned more but still good Portions are generous and food is delicious. This was a first time trying Somali food for us. They didn't have their special hilib (goat meat) when we visited - I'd love to be back to try that :)

Great stuff. Was in from Chicago on business and it was within walking distance of office. It was lunch, so I ordered carryout. It was well worth braving the 117 degree heat for Waamo. I got the Chicken Shawarma on my first visit. Outstanding flavor, good portion size and perfectly cooked. A nice little salad and that delicious long grain rice business rounded out the reasonably priced but exceedingly satisfying and invigorating meal. On day 2, I had noticed the day before that they had some dishes I had never tried before at any restaurant. So I started at top of menu and knocked back the Hilib. Very tasty and the accompanying green sauce- maybe its cilantro and green chili- is fire. I'd put that on anything. I look forward to trying the lamb shank, recommended by the friendly propreitor, next time. Wish I had a couple more days in Phoenix to knock out a few more items- and back at home, I am now going to try out some of our local East African restaurants. What I enjoyed most about the meals was their flavor, value and that despite a nice portion size.

I've ordered take out twice from here and both times they've been good. I had their chicken and beef dishes served with rice and a small salad. You have to have an open mind and a sense of adventure particularly if you've never had Somali food before. When you try something you have to trust it's prepared correctly. So you may find the meat to be a little tough, but still flavorful. One of their dishes was like a beef samosa that was very good, I'd be happy just ordering that and some hummus! Although I ordered randomly from their menu there wasn't anything I personally did not like. Their dishes were more similar to Mediterranean food than Ethiopian. It seemed that mostly Somalis come here to eat so it must be pretty authentic!

Great friendly owner took my order. Had the lamb shank and the portion is huge. My order came with rice with tasty spices and a vegetable salad. The green sauce is a bit spicy refreshing and quite interesting. The white sauce is mayonnaise with some spice which really bring up the appetite. I also ordered sambusa and is well worth the price.

I can't resist Ethiopian food so I had to stop here for dinner. I really wanted to try the goat but it ended at 3pm. I asked the nice guys about a couple of the menu options and I ended up settling on a beef dish with rice/ noodle mix and salad. I also got the baba ghannoj which had the consistency of hummus. I enjoyed both items very much and the portions were large. The meat was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. The rice dish was fresh and seasoned well, not too salty not too bland. I'll definitely come back for more.
