Island Dishes

£10–20

Just had my first ever Somali breakfast. I met a young man and asked him (a random customer) what he would recommend for breakfast he said sukkaar with Chapatti and tea. I thought let's do it. Ordered a sukkaar breakfast with two chappatis, comes with green chilli sauce (baris) and a wedge of lemon, the sukkaar is a bowl of meat cut in to small pieces with some pepper in it. I believe it's cooked with ghee my god that was delicious. The tea was also delicious. This cost only £6 plus £1 for an extra chappati. Breakfast was very filling and really delicious the tea was also lovely. 10/10 full marks. I also purchased 3 mendazis, 2 kitombias and 2 samoosas/samboosas. Again 10/10 full marks. Everything together cost me only £14.20 Kind man served me with a smile and the atmosphere was really nice and relaxed. Made me feel welcome. I am not affiliated to this restaurant in any way shape or form. Thank you and keep up the good work Island dishes. I will definitely be back.

My family invited me to this restaurant. The restaurant doesn't look stylish which might put some people off however, I tell you something the lamb leg they served us was one the best I've ever tasted. It tasted like home food cooked with heart and soul. That's what makes the difference and I'm glad to have eaten there.

Very origunal So. Aluan dishes. Made with Live. Always Great tasting and genuine recipes. If yiu want great tasting food Island Disbes is the place to go.

If your hungry you need to come here. The roast/grilled chicken is great so is the chicken curry with rice. Boom you will be filled. Its not fancy but very wholesome honest food.

If you want authentic Somalian biryani or food in general this is the spot in Leicester. It may not look very appealing or inviting but it is in their own way.

Like one of the reviews said, this place does not look all that but the food is so nice. And it has a big seating area with curtain facility to keep privacy too. The food is really nice and there portions are a lot too. Highly recommend this place.

The food was amazing. Really enjoyed ourselves. The service was excellent and the staff were really friendly and helpful. They even went out of their way to make sure we were happy.

Scammers, put £90 through their contactless machine for an order that should have been £14 so not an accidental slip, no answer from phone currently having to dispute with the police
