Fatuma Restaurant, San Diego CA

This is a great hidden gem in City Heights. What sticks out more than anything is the homey nature of the food. It tastes like an authentic ethnic meal prepared at a friends house. Make sure to slice up the banana and eat it with the rice, oddly satisfying. The customer service is great too. Very kind staff and good food. Large portions for a reasonable price. Can't go wrong with the lamb.

Very friendly customer service Masha Allah really fresh and delicious food in low price may Allah bless that place we are looking forward to visit it again highly recommend

Nice owner. The neighborhood guys comes around and talk a lot.
Noise but fun and chill out
Goat rice was fantastic. It tastes balance moisture and has great flavor. Free banana water, so friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Authentic somali food, customer service is great. Price is reasonable. You won't be disappointed with their menu and service

Amazing Food. The Service was great. Very nice and clean restaurant. If I'm in San Deigo again, I will forsure be coming back. Price is very good compared to other Halal Restaurants. Highly Recommend to anyone.

11/06/2021: I am glad to see Fatuma re-open. Although a new owner and menu items are a bit reduced, the taste is still great. Sumali Mediterranean food taste is one of the best amongst all Mediterranean countries and Fatuma lives up to the promise. Their rice is excellent with great aroma, meat is well cooked, meat is cooked in great tasting spices but not hot, and finally their food adds vegetables as well. I love their Wasla Kebabs and Gyros.

I had great experiences in the past; however, I don’t know what has changed it and the food has no flavor the guy who served me did not look clean which I believe he is also a cook. I personally will never go to this place it was a wast of money and time.

Great food, large portions, and excellent taste. Every entrée comes with salad and drinks. If you want an authentic experience for somali food, come to this joint. Plenty of on-premise parking available.

No dinning at this time due to the Covid.
The food was exactly what I have expected, tasty, moist meet, and delicious samosas with a bit of spicy taste, something that I have enjoyed!
Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing restaurant, food is delicious and halal. The hospitality and service is outstanding. Highly recommended

Good service combined with good food. We always get pizza here at least once during our summer visit.

This place was fantastic. I came in on a happy hour and got an order of grilled chicken, Fries and a Pork Belly Taco. Both were fantastic, so much so, I tried their Rosemary Honey Dipped Chicken. Chicken was great the honey rosemary was meh, didn't notice it. Still, I would get all of these items again. Very good

Great restaurant, great people, very friendly MashaaAllah. May Allah bless them and give them the best. The food was amazing and a great community.

I loved the restaurant a lot mashaAllah. The passion fruit juice was so good and staff was so generous and nice. And food is good with the banana on the side.
