I recently dined at Fatuma Restaurant and was immediately drawn to the cozy atmosphere and the welcoming vibe from the staff. 🌟

I ordered the goat rice, and wow, it was as flavorful as promised! The rice was perfectly cooked and had an amazing aroma. I also tried the Wasla Kebabs, which were tender and spiced just right. Their generous portions meant I left fully satisfied!

Plus, the free banana water was a delightful touch. Just a minor note - the place could use a little tidying up. Overall, a great spot for comfort food! I’ll be back soon! 😊
