Minnesota is home to one of the largest Somali diaspora communities in the world, concentrated primarily in Minneapolis's Cedar-Riverside neighborhood and surrounding areas. This has given rise to a thriving Somali restaurant scene offering authentic dishes like suqaar (spiced meat), bariis (rice), canjeero (flatbread), maraq (broth soups), sambusa, and fresh Somali tea (shaah). All Somali restaurants listed on MNHalal.com serve halal-only food.
