The Sambusa w/ Somali Sauce: veggie, cheese, and potato, chicken were all moist inside, with a golden outside crust. There no need for the sauce but if you love a little kick to your food, then dip into the Somali sauce. The Haitian Macaroni had a creamy cheesy sauce cooked with both tender vegetables and shrimp. The portion was large enough to share with friends or family. The Haitian Marinated Kabrit Plate was a pretty decent size of food. The goat fell off of the bone and the sautéed onions and green bell peppers were the perfect complements to the tender meat. I had plenty of leftovers the next day and it was just as flavourful as the day I took my first bite of food. Starting On July 8th, the cuisine of the month will be Venezuelan and I’m thrilled to explore another authentic global food experience.
