Somali cuisine slowly winning over local taste buds in Uganda

A restaurant in Uganda's capital Kampala is introducing some Somali flavour to the city. As more and more customers grow an appetite for Somali food, the restaurant has become a symbol of change. Somalis living in Uganda hope that they too will be warmly received as perceptions about their country start to change. Leon Ssenyange reports

[@keinaanabdi6821]

Mø Nälayé nop, but there is a range. Still if you say I am somali, I am gonna believe you. I am just saying he's a little bit more Ugandan

[@a.m.9096]

We are diverse in appearance, some have dark skin, some light, some round faces, some squared/oval, some afro hair some wavy/straight hair, some wide and big nose, some with a small thin one. Stop trying to say he looks like he is not Somali when he blatantly is, His name is Logan which is a Somali name. Going with your viewpoint, you yourself don't look like a stereotypical somali, stop being divisive saaxiib.

[@a.m.9096]

Be happy that the brother is successful and making money and be happy for him like how our religion says we should be. He left the country and is doing something good for himself, say Alhamdullillah.
