Simple menu, great food. Had the roasted goat, which was incredibly juicy and tender. Great jalapeño sauce. Best rice I've had in a very long time.

Love this place! I love the rice, chicken, steak and everything on the menu. I am a little disappointed that every time I come in to order the goat and they have sold out for the day (I always come later though, around 7 or 8pm). My favorite rice in the twin cities

Great food. Clean place. Excellent service. The neighborhood is not perfect but don't let that hold you back.

Don't let it's appearance fool you. Great food. Big portions (my wife and I split a dish and were both full). Good service. Inexpensive. Everything tasted great. Great experience!

Yum! Inexpensive meal, simple menu -meat (chicken, goat etc) and starch (rice or similar). Delicious. Meal came with soup. Not much for vegetarians here. Women and mixed gender groups enter using door on left.

Hamdi is a restaurant that primarily caters to the local Somali population, which is fairly large in MSP. The main meal of the day is lunch, and if you come for that, the service is very quick. Everyone is drinking lemonade or a yellow juice (mango? papaya?). Don't disrespect by asking for beer. The menu is simple, with a choice of protein like roast goat, stewed meat, chicken or salmon running for $9-10. It comes with a bowl of light lentil soup, spiced basmati rice that tastes like biryani, and a salad which is a bit of an afterthought. Oddly, it might come with ranch or perhaps Italian dressing (which you might try to make historical sense of due to Italy's influence in that region). The menu states the option of getting spaghetti or flatbread instead of rice, but I'm not sure if that's really a possibility. If you're wondering about the authenticity of this place, let me assure you - a banana is included with your meal. I, of course, went for the goat. It was tender and ended with the licking of fingers. Even better was that rice - it's a huge mound, but don't be surprised if you lick that off too. If you come for breakfast, and you really should, you can opt for liver, kidney or stewed beef. With bread and tea it's only $6. Or go for the fava beans.

Straight ahead, no -nonsense Somali cuisine. Five options. Heaven for those who love goat meat.

This is an establishment that has been around since I began taking restaurant-oriented trips around the Twin Cities in 2007 and is still there today, a bit of an accomplishment for a Somali place. Entering this restaurant is like entering into a whole other atmosphere. Upon entering, you are confronted with the choice of two doors: one that leads to the women / family room, and another that leads to the men's room. No, not bathrooms, dining rooms. Somali women must be so modest they prefer to be out of the sight of unrelated men. Service was decent, although surely not worth the $5 tip on a $12 meal I gave the waiter because he couldn't find any change (common in this type of joint...reminds me of Morocco or Mexico). The menu is small but the food excellent and remarkably fast, perhaps produced en masse. The goat dish was excellent, and came with a side of green salad (which I promptly poured into a bowl to be discarded), a banana (a fixture of Somali restaurants that isn't quite my taste), and a little plastic cup of that wonderful green sauce, also a staple of local Somali restaurants. Interestingly, though, I was taking some pictures and videos of the place when a man confronted me, had me play back the video, and said "you should delete that" and "you can't take pictures of people without their permission". Shady... The waiter was speechless and later handed me a business card.
