Kalina Christev Short review: great food, fast service, good prices. Definitely recommend! Small Somali restaurant my friend introduced me to. I got the soup of the day as an appetiser and slow cooked lamb with rice as a main, with speciality tea after. The soup of the day was a lamb bone broth with lemon, and it was DIVINE. So delicious, so warming. They bring this amazing chili sauce you can add to it which makes it absolutely perfect. (Be warned - it is very spicy! Only add one small teaspoon at a time!) I would come back just for that soup as its the best Ive ever had. And only £1.50! The lamb shoulder was very tender and the rice was really well seasoned. The veg sprinkled on top was just right. For the rice, its recommend to mix in a few teaspoons of the chili sauce (again - its very hot so dont add lots in one go). Bananas were brought to the table with the option of adding them to the rice, but I didnt try it. £10 for a very large portion. We had some kind of Somali tea with milk, cardamom and cinnamon at the end. I dont know what it was, but it was lovely.

Florian Cailler Lovely food and service! Good to have this in Tooting Broadway

Katerina Wojtowicz We had such a wonderful experience today, and a huge part of it was thanks to our amazing waitress, (G). From the moment we sat down, she made us feel so welcome. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely funny, which made the whole atmosphere even more enjoyable. Her service was absolutely outstanding — she was quick, professional, and always had a smile on her face. It’s rare to meet someone who clearly loves what they do and brings so much positive energy to their work. Ganina made our time here with the girls truly special. Because of her, our meal wasn’t just good — it was a memorable experience. Thank you, G, for your fantastic service and for making us feel so comfortable and well taken care of. You are an absolute star, and we hope the restaurant knows how lucky they are to have you!

Izzie Parker Went for dinner on a Wednesday evening and it was delicious! We had the set meze option and everything was so well presented and flavourful. The houmous was silky smooth, the chicken skewers were very tender and the falafels crispy but light. The staff were very helpful and friendly too. I would highly recommend and I hope more people visit! A little gem

Macey Gregory Would just like to say that I’ve stayed here for 3 nights with my 2 young children and Leo was by far the best service we had received he was ensuring everyone’s needs were met and was very helpful and kind! He definitely deserves a promotion

Roy Denish I was searching for a place to Enjoy a genuine English breakfast, I came across Cafe Ole accidentally on Google maps. The experience was absolutely mesmerizing. Despite being crowded and the chaos was promptly seated and enjoyed a fantastic breakfast. Also happened to try out the Turkish eggs with youghurt coupled with chillies oil. It was fantastic experience.
