Somali Food is the Best Cheap Meal in Chicago — Dining on a Dime


Follow Dining on a Dime host Lucas Peterson this week as he heads to an unassuming place on the near north side of Chicago: Mogadishu Somali Restaurant. It’s a restaurant particularly popular with cab drivers, who flock to Mogadishu for tasty East African cuisine.

  1. This is not everybody's breakfast in Somalia; it depends, some eat this, others eat muufo, malaay(fish), sugaar (small meat sauted with onions, fresh garlic, and tomato) – this us popular. Others may eat Dalacbilash for breakfast; which a vegeterian breakfast, while some others eat mashkaaki (grilled on charcoal liver), plus Xulbo (Fenucreek), and bulbeeti. This kind of breakfast is only known in the coastal areas if Banadir, such Marka, Migadishu, and Barawa.

    So, Somali food are different according to the region and to their income.

  2. There are a ton of African cab drivers in NYC and African Uber drivers in the suburbs. They're honestly the nicest, if you're tired and don't wanna talk they'll respect that, if you're feeling talkative they'll have great conversations

  3. The main thing is, is that Somalia does not try to bring all of it to the United States. Obviously you left for a reason. Don't try to change the country that you came to. Our country is liberal to a fault. But don't try to abuse that. "The nail that sticks out gets hammered"

  4. I know Somalis from Munich, Germany, they are about the most vehement Anti-Christians in the world and will try to even stop other Africans to believe in Lord Jesus, they were so intolerant. In Somalia, they are not even permitted to celebrate Christmas. Poor Country, need to pray for them

  5. Was literally there today. Group of drivers talking/eating/laughing. Little intimidating for those new. EVERYONE was welcoming and engaging. Including the patrons! Very inclusive, especially to those unaware of the culture!

  6. 😂😂 love this Iam Somali and I Somali and I don’t eat Anjeera ( pancakes) with tea and oil even though people do it some of us use the pan kales with soup more like goat or cow souce but it was invited for kids who goes to school early to eat pancakes with oil and tea.

  7. what is this i am somali and i grow up whit somalis i never see some one who is eating canjeero with banana. we eat banana with rice or pasta but not canjeera.😂😂😂😂

  8. as i Somali when i was younger traveling around the horn i found the slight variations in injera amazing compared to what i was used to with my mums. it was really interesting how something so similar can be different at the same time. like when i tried Ethiopian injera for the first time i found it less sweet to my mums more tangy like in a citrus way and went well with heavier dish's as it cut through the richness. Somali anjera is a bit milder a bit sweeter can be used a basically bread if you wanted and yemeni malawax is much sweeter in comparison. all so similar yet different it beautiful

  9. Our foods is great, it has italian, Arabs, Indian influences, when’s I was in somalia used to eat everything with banana 🍌 breakfast , lunch super 😀, but now am in Holland still loves to eat banana only with lunch specially with pasta and rices ,lemon 🍋 without it for taste not good 😊

  10. Bro, that's NOT how all Somali's eat canjero.
    Sorry they misled you. Also, it's too much food in the plate and that's NOT how Somali's serve lunch. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️
    I really laughed out loud when I watched 😂🤣 Thank you for the compliment.
