Nice quiet place, friendly cooks that make delicious chicken and spiced milk tea. The rice itself was worth the visit, scrumptious to the last grain! The hot sauce that comes with it is freshly made in the restaurant! Very good and spicy on the chicken and rice.

Just moved to ND and was pleasantly surprised to find an authentic Somalian restaurant here. It's been awhile since I've had Somalian food and Safari did not disappoint. The rice is always to die for and the goat was delicious. Everyone was so very kind and happy to chat. Definitely will go back.

Fantastic! Delicious food and friendly staff. Will 1,000% return soon. Honestly the best food we've had in Grand Forks so far. The tea and coffee were phenomenal.
