text: I have driven past this place numerous times and had no idea there was a Somalian restaurant in the back off the street Thanks to the Levine Museum of the New South and plancharlotteorg for putting on a Munching Tour along Central Avenue and exposing about people to new foodnFor we received a plate called chicken suqar The chicken came with bread that was like crepes You tear off a piece and then pick up some marinated chicken and some greens with the bread and pop it in your mouth Really really goodnIt was also served with a banana Well I did some research and apparently this is very often served as a side dish with meal Knock knock Who is there Banana Banana whonI also did not know the extent of Italian influence on Somalia and Somalian food I knew Italy had fought Ethiopia and lost Italian military might has not quite been the same since the Roman empire days But I was completely ignorant about the ItalySomalia historynThe woman who runs the restaurant told us that she came to the US about years ago and could not speak English She always loved to cook and when you have her food you will realize that is a good thing for the rest of usnTheres also a little shop next to the restaurant and they sell all sorts of things like beautiful Somalian clothing jars of dates and toothbrushes made out of bark SeriouslynWhat a great find check it out
