The Village - (Near Hammersmith and Fulham, london)

5 /5 shsgah sjabag: My GOD this has to be some of the greatest lamb shanks I have ever tasted. I was searching for restaurants in Hammersmith today, and came here out of curiosity. The waiter greeted me enthusiastically and brought me downstairs, which was surprisingly chill and cozy, well-lit with large dangling lightbulbs and decorated with artificial greenery. The waiter asked me what food I would like and I confessed to him this was my first Somalian meal. He recommended me the Village Lamb Special, which I happily ordered. He then came back with two small plates of sauces coloured in green and red, explaining the sauces and their flavours. He told me to wait for a few minutes. The long-awaited dish finally came, along with a bowl of rice. The lamb was luxuriously yellowish and well-plated with the combination of salad. And it was SO tender—the meat literally fell off from the bone whenever I touched it with my spoon! Amazed, I asked the waiter, and he explained that the lamb had been marinated and soaked for over three hours. It merged perfectly with the sauces and rice, it was full of flavour without ever being over-eager. Great layout, great waiter, great food, reasonably priced for its exceptional quality, honestly a very delightful dining experience that should surpass a lot of Michelin restaurants.

5 /5 Yusuf Rage: Absolutely fantastic experience I had a great time here. Came down with a couple of my mates had some great traditional Somali cuisine. The customer service was immaculate. If your trying to have a great time and eat some great food I wouldn’t recommend a better place 10/10.
