Hoyo's Kitchen

Hoyo's has become a place I feel I'm missing out on if I don't go weekly. Their price is reasonable, the food is top notch, and those that work at the Bridge Park location are always friendly. The only complaint is that I love the mango chicken on Somali rice so much it is hard for me to try other options!

We came here last year 2022.. and We’re coming back soon That’s all I’m going to say! lol 😁 good food!!!!! The people at this restaurant are very well mannered and they love what they do. Their food was made with love! This is Mommas Kitchen! ❤️ Back in 2023 of Aug we came back and tried something different. Mango chicken!!! We stuck with the tamarind drink and our boys got the mango 🥭 we love y’all food so much I’ve learn how to make Somalian food because we don’t have any restaurants like this in our city! Just know everytime we hit up Columbus we will be here!! We love y’all!

With so many options at the market we decided to pick a little from most the places to try. Unfortunately only picked up a couple sombusas, but it was my second favorite pick of the half dozen places or more that we tried. The flavor was on point but unfortunately we packed the food up and ate at Hayden Falls Park, so they were not as crisp as within minutes of getting, but still great with the flavor. We got chicken and beef, and they tasted almost the same, so I would guess same, or very close to same, seasonings used for all filling. I would love to get an entire meal from this place some time and a shame we don't live closer.

First time having Somalian food so I can’t talk about authenticity, but it is delicious regardless. I picked the rice and the goat, let the young lady do what she liked after that. Ordered it with a tamarind juice. The goat was so well cleaned and stewed, it could have passed for beef stew. Rice was well seasoned, the cabbage gave it the crunch, the yogurt gave it just a bit of creaminess. Tried the chili sauce but was too spicy for me. Docked a star because the juice could’ve had a more concentrated taste but the food itself is 5 stars and the service is top notch.

This place is an excellent representative for Somali cuisine in the US. Food here made my day as it was so flavorful with all the harmonious spices. Got the half/ half with goat and safari chicken, the heat gave such a good kick and you cannot joke with those sauces, especially the mango habanero! Portion size is generous, the lady who helped with my order was nice and friendly. I really want to come back just for this good food!!!
