Kismayo always goes above and beyond to accommodate their customer's food requests. It was my first time trying their 2 Chicken Samosas (I've never had a Samosa before) and boy, was it phenomenal! The Classic Somali Combo has always been a favorite of mine as well. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. I am so thankful they reopened despite the sudden and tragic loss of one co-owner last August. He was a great man and his family continues to do an amazing job running this restaurant after he passed.

I don't what magic was used to stuff that much delicious food into the Kismayo Chicken Wrap Combo without it breaking. The sauce was great too. And the 2 Chicken Samosas was so flavorful. This place knocks it out of the park every time.

Some of the best food in Burlington! Fresh, tasty, affordable, and great portions! Will always order again. I'm a big of of The Classic Somali Combo, the Caesar Salad, and any of the empanadas! The Somali Tea is also super special.

The tea is so sweet and fragrant, and still plenty hot. The salad is a good size for the cost and the chicken is flavorful, not spicy. Would order again just for the tea to be honest.

Did an online order. Staff was prompt in finishing the touches on it. Clean “hole-in-the-wall” charm. Loved that they had some kind of history/travel show with the sound ON! Like sure- I don’t want every restaurant to have a TV on but I sort of miss going into a place and catching a little bit of *whatever*? Food had GREAT flavor and depth. Love a limited menu- you know they know their stuff. Salad dressing was a lovely surprise. 10/10 highly recommend. Will probably be my go-to for post-platelets donation refuel after wrapping up at the American Red Cross. Donate blood and eat at Kismayo kitchen.
