Magan Restaurant -
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.
