This is a great place for people who interested in trying East African food. I ordered the Chapati Wrap, and it only took 5 minutes for them to cook my food. The food was well seasoned, and the quantity size is great. I wish the fries had more seasoning, but aside from that the food taste pretty good. The atmosphere is very relaxed.

Afro Deli is one of my favorite places to eat. The sambusas are delicious. Ive also had the chicken gyros, Somali steak sandwich, and a vegetable and rice dish. They have all been good, and I highly recommend it. Its a small place, but there usually is a table or two open.
