FAH,

You needed to run that joint. Your American style would have not gone down well with the kin.

Yeah bro that place was great, i ate there every weekend for like two months straight. I actually used your place as an example last year when i went to visit my folks in hargeysa. My aunt owns this little store but gives out free stuff to all the family. I told her your situation with the restaurant and immediately she made the next family member pay

.

You come from a good family bro don't ever take that for granted bro.

Thus they wern't a burden for the kitchen staff, plus they only ordered fish which was unpopular

Only Somali place I been to in DC is Nima
