Your Questions, Answered

  • Yes, Naima is a fully Halal restaurant – all our meats are sourced from certified Halal suppliers, and no alcohol or pork is used in our cooking.

  • We love introducing new guests to Somali cuisine! If you’re unsure, you might try our Chicken Suqaar Wrap, a stir-fried chicken with mild Somali spices wrapped sandwich-style – a great East-meets-West dish. And definitely start with our crispy sambusas, which are similar to samosas – a customer favorite.

  • Yes! In traditional Somali meals, it’s common to have a banana alongside your rice or pasta. Somalis often take a bite of banana with a bite of savory food – it’s a delightful sweet contrast. You’re welcome to try it, or enjoy the banana later – either way, no judgment from us.
