Review by Braulio Franecki

Tucked away in Indianapolis, Barako Somali Restaurant is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic East African cuisine! 🌍

I popped in for lunch and ordered the goat with rice - absolutely delicious! The goat was tender and flavorful, paired perfectly with a piquant rice that had a delightful kick. The portions were generous; I had enough to take home for dinner.

The casual atmosphere suited my solo dining vibe, and even though I needed to catch the staff's attention a bit, they were friendly and accommodating.

Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! 🍽️✨
