    ^ the point is that some are not very socialm I am a very social chatty person and found it hard to break that barrier. There is a healthy mixture at my new mosque and have been introduced to some somali sisters smile.gif

     

    London is not a small place but many people know about this place coz it was advertised on UNIVERSAL T.V which all somali homes in London are tuned to. besided i've not heard of any decent somali reataurant except gor blue Ocean, which I am due to visit in 2 weeks time inshallah smile.gif

    :D

    No, there is a funny pic of a Red Indian Woman, on the Female Cubicle but it’s a shared sink.

     

    Too much detail?? Sorry thought I’d warn you guys..

    Salaam guys and girls... thanks for all your comments but can I please say something?

     

    1- If I didn't like the restaurant I wouldn't recommend it to people and I would advice everyone to say away and spend their money elsewhere.

     

    2- Mujaahid: Red Sea------ I AM VERY VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM PURE SOMALI, but it just happens to be that I wasn't born there, don't have much contact except with family. Somali's seem to just stick to each other and not welcome anyone who they don't know.

     

    Example, I have been going to a Somali mosque for the past 8-9 months, not very often but bqz I know my stuff I used to just go to the teacher and recite my soorah's.. Not once that one Somali girl came up to me and said "Hi" in fact they just look at you from the corner of their eyes!!! I left that mosque now, and am another one where everyone is cool!!

     

    3- I look us an hour and something to get there and we asked a lady on a bus, another bus driver who was kind enough to stop outside the restaurant.

     

    4- Toilets are important of course. Decor and presentation are essential.. After all you are not paying only for the meal.

     

    5- Its alright for you guys to question why we've not been to Somali restaurants, but can I just ask you something? Where are the Somali restaurants?? the one, only 1 local to me is a maqayad that is full of men... I wouldn't dare walk outside it let alone go and order food...

     

    Before we blame each other for daadkena aan ka fano, we have to question our selves, are we doing enough to stay as one strong united community, like others???

     

     

    W'dumtum ..

    Salaam all,

     

    Hope you are all having, or have had a good day.

     

    Just would like to share with you my 1st experience of going to a Somali Restaurant. My and my friend decided to try something new! A Somali restaurant, after all we've all tried Chinese, Vietnamese, mediteranian, etc.

     

    So, we went to “The Village”, and what a journey we’ve had from N1 to shepherds bush to Hammersmith! Alhamdlilah, Somali people are so helpful the bus driver kindly opened the door for just meters away from the door.

     

    It was surprisingly quite, with all the adverts on Universal T.V I thought it will be packed with people but we were the 2nd customers. They made us sit right at the far corner as we were both dressed in our cabayh's they must have thought there are those women that like to hide when eating!!

     

    The Service was excellent and the food was very tasty, staff very friendly.

     

    ONE THING THOUGH, THW WORST THING EVER, the ladies toilet don't shut properly and the MIRROR ON THE TOILET DOOR OH MY GOD. What is it doing there?? not sure if the men's toilet has a mirror too, though I doubt it very much.

     

    Am not going into the details, but all the women who've been there or will go there please of you have the guts to tell them to remove it or crop it otherwise you'll feel like you want to vomit all you ate. You'll know what am talking about if you've used their toilets, and what’s with cagada canaha, can't they afford to put a hooz?

     

    Any way, just thought I'd share my experience with you guys!

    I would never ever lie about my age, on the contrary. woman this day and age should be proud of how they look. My manageress is 54y and mashallah if you see her you'd say she is 25 lean boody very elegant.

    I am proud of my looks, i look 8 years younger than my age alhamdlilah..

    you just need to have confidence and high slef esteem"

I'll go on my own so knowing my self i will look vunorable but quickly fit in after 5 mins. Although i have a thing about somalies which i will discuss in another thead, inshallah.

    Mantra- Good luck- Maybe you can join the girl wearing a bikini and you can be the wild duet. As for me i think i will stick my theory of "less is more". after all wouldn't want to give any man the pleasure of looking at my flesh! smile.gif

    SHe'll only do something about it if she is divorced.. they will need to understand that if men don't find what they are looking for inside they will look for it outside.

     

    I take my arabfriends as an example, one of them has 2 kids but is still size 10-12!

    Somali women get too comfortable when they get married and its even worse after the 1st child, they think they can tie him down with kids. They assume that he is happy with her the way she is and don't make an effort to look good. the best she could do is wear a derac and have a bit of oonsii.. thats the ultimate sexiness to them,,

     

     

    although some women would get their hair done, wear nice cloths for their husbands and there is not even a word of complement....

     

    Its partially the man's fault coz he will never comment, ot he won't notice rather.. really sad..

    Arab guy thinking, " Do really have to ask" but says, " You Somali women look so beautiful"

     

    to be continued,

    Mantra,

     

    Few reasons for not wearing a bikini-

     

    1- Nothing guarantees me that a man wouldn't be walking in at any time.

     

    2- Islamically- a woman is not allowed to expose her cawra- waist to knees even in front of other women.

     

    3- Swimming costumes don't look flattering unless ur a size 8-10 and am not!!

    Hi BOB,

     

    as i said i read it on they way home from work, Really good to catch a glimpse on the past of SOL, as you can see am new here, am enjoying it very much coz i have never interacted with as many Somalis in my life..

     

    Though I’ve lived in London for the past 14 years I’ve had 1 or 2 Somali friend.. i know its sad but am hoping that this will be a gateway to meeting nice somali sisters smile.gif
