I love going places where I feel I'm somewhere different. The best ones are where I can imagine I'm in another country, and Jubba has that feel. The food was excellent, I had the goat stew because where else are you going to find it? My friend had the chicken wrap and was very happy with it as well. They include a light green hot sauce, give it respect but not fear. Medium-high Scoville score I think. All the sweet, rich tea you can drink, you just have to walk to the rear and serve yourself. Service was fine, you order at the counter and they bring it. Note that the food is tasty but not quick. Each dish carefully assembled after you order, it seems. I had the injera bread - that might have been part of the reason. The setting is casual, no-frills but comfortable. Copious outdoor seating when the weather allows. This place is popular and has a nice vibe. I'll be back when I'm in the area next.

A very tasty Somalian restaurant tucked away by the VTA station. I had the beef Suqaar and it was very, VERY delicious. Good spice, onions, bell peppers and a really good sauce. I opted for Injera, however they also offer rice and noodles (spaghetti noodles with butter) which are also both delicious (I shared with my friends). The restaurant itself is pretty small, but very clean and everyone inside is super friendly. Highly recommend!

This is one of the most amazing hole in the wall place I came across in the Bay Area. Food is very flavorful and this place serves tender goat meat which is not very common in most restaurants. Tried the goat cutlet plate, tilapia wrapped in a chapati and some complimentary traditional sweet tea. Food is very flavorful and made fresh to order. Friendly service as well. If you're a fan of spicy food, definitely a must try!!!! I wish they also served chicken sambusas! Plenty of parking available as well.

My mom's request for her birthday was an African dinner! Since we were close to San Jose, I found this spot as the highest rated African spot. And I can't lie: it's gotta be top 3 in this area. I would like to call out the beautiful chairs in the indoors: all of them colorful Our food selection was the Goat Cutlet. This African dish consisted of chunks of goat, basmati rice and mixed veggies. This is a 10/10 dish: the meat was so tender and seasoned well. Honestly, rice was up to par with the goat There is complimentary tea at the end of the restaurant: tea was good, with a hint of sugar and ginger. My mom was satisfied and grateful with this restaurant. The lady on register was lovely and helped us out quickly; good service

Tis place seems niche. Really close to light rail, but otherwise hidden in a housing community. They close early, so definitely family friendly and casual. Amazing green sauce! I saved what precious sauce I didn't use. I knew it would be good so I asked for extra. Spicy and delicious! My sister and I tried 3 meats: beef wrap, chicken plate, and lamb plate. Let me say I'm not a chicken person. AAAAAND, let me tell you this chicken wrap/plate is fuego! The beef is really good too as well as the lamb. Love that the lamb has the bone-in. I didn't expect each dish to have the exact same veggies and perhaps even seasonings? That being said, try the meat you like most cause they don't really differ. Chicken is scrumptious. Had the samosa-type thing. Has ground beef, the spices in this thing is amazing. Reminded me of Jamaican beef Pattie's. We didn't take pictures, unfortunately. Hungry and excited to try it all. The picture shown is me eating the extra spicy sauce with random leftovers

Came in and was quickly greeted with a warm smile! This was my first time trying Somali food and food was so delicious! Me and my partner were not too hungry so we decided to share some plates including the beef wrap and 3 sambusa. Both items were HUGE in portion! Beef wrap was bigger than the size of my forearm! And sambusa were bigger than my palm. Good thing we decided to share because we were both stuffed after! Jubba Beef Wrap: 5/5 This was stuffed with beef, onion, and pepper. Beef was SO TENDER! Great value for the size. Enough for 2 ppl to share. Sambusa: 5/5 I believe the owner welcomed us in and even showed us the size of the Sambusa since I wasn't sure how many to order! A bit spicy for me but it was so flavorful and tasty. Green sauce was also spicy so keep that in mind if you cant eat spicy. Great service and welcoming, hospitality was amazing! I recommend trying this place out!
