About

Having seen Charles Allis Art Museum, it’s time to have a rest at this restaurant. According to the visitors’ comments, African dishes here are tasty and the menu is well-organized. Nicely cooked spicy chicken, beef and chicken sandwiches are the tastiest dishes. Blue Star Cafe is to be recommended for tasty crepes and good yogurt. You will hardly forget delicious wine that you can taste. Take your chance to taste great tea, mango juice or coffee.

First time here. Food: We were excited to try some Somali/African cuisine. For beverages, we ordered the chai tea and the mango smoothie. I was expecting a plain chai tea, but what I received was actually a chai latte. What a wonderful surprise! It wasn't the type of chai latte I might expect from a local coffee shop, but it was better than many I've had. We started with a couple of veggie sambusas. They were excellent. Hot, crisp, and fresh, with a generous filling and served with a side of mint chutney. Together, they made a fantastic flavor combination. We also ordered hummus and pita bread. Both were fresh, tasty, and well presented. The final part of our meal was the Goat Platter. It arrived hot and fresh, with generous portions. The goat meat was delicious and tender. The serving was large enough that I took half home, and it will make great leftovers. Service: The gentleman at the counter was friendly and efficient. He was very attentive, bringing each item to our table. He seemed genuinely proud of the food, its presentation, and our reaction to it. There was also a woman in the back, whom I believe was doing most of the cooking, and I had a chance to thank her as well. Atmosphere: The restaurant is small and unassuming. It was clean and well lit, thanks to the large front windows. It appears that most of their business is takeout, but there are several tables available for dining in. We were the only people eating there during our visit, so it was very quiet. Overall: We were super impressed with this little spot serving excellent Somali/African food. The quality of the food, the warm service, and the generous portions made for a wonderful first experience. We'll definitely be back.

All I can say is get the Sambusas, they are worth every penny. We had the beef ones. They were seasoned to the Gods. I can still taste them and smell them. We went for them only and we stuck to the plan which was hard, but next time we probably won't. The inside is clean and the staff is very nice. Street parking can be little taking, but listen, that parking ain't keeping me from the Sambusas.

This is the only Somali restaurant in Milwaukee, and they are doing a great job representing the culture and food. They offer a good variety on the menu like tender goat, chicken dishes, tilapia fish, sambusas, rice meals, fresh juices, and chai tea — everything you expect from authentic Somali cuisine. Everything feels real and well prepared, with generous portions and great taste. The place is simple, but the food quality stands out. If you’re in Milwaukee and want real Somali food, this is the spot.

Absolutely delicious and distinct salty/sweet flavor combo. Huge portions, ate generously and still had half a plate of leftovers. My new favorite place to eat.

Wonderful place for a fresh bite to eat! Lovely service and great food. We were some of the only people at the restaurant around 6pm on a Sunday so the service was very quick and very fresh. We got a side salad, a beef sambusa, a chicken sambusa, the steak platter, and a mixed berry smoothie. Everything had wonderful flavor and the smoothie was one of the best i’ve had! It was a decent price all coming out to about $27 total. The green sauce has a kick to it but is really good mixed in with things!
