Aalami Restaurant - Somali Cuisine San Diego Reviews
I came across this randomly and it was awesome! The salmon and spaghetti were perfectly seasoned with interesting spices and a peppery green sauce for some kick! I can’t wait to try other items! There’s no menu on the wall or anywhere to be found which to me is exciting! The staff and customers were very friendly :-)
