OMG! The food was sooo good. I had the goat over basmati rice and watermelon juice. The atmosphere was welcoming too. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be back soon.
The beef sambusas are incredible. I'd recommend the goat and rice. So perfectly cooked. The owner is always a delight as well.
Just had lunch here. The Goat platter and the steak platter were really good. Loved the flavourful rice!! There was so much goat meat and the platter was a really good price. Clean cozy place with friendly people. Wish it was closer to us to come more often!
I have little to no experience with Somali/East African food so there’s nothing for me to compare it to. All I’ll say is it’s amazing. The goat is so good and tender, their rice is filled with flavor, the service is so friendly and accommodating. The husband and wife (I assume) that run this place were both so friendly and grateful.
I tried the goat, tilapia, sambusa, and pita with hummus and all were delicious. Oddly, something that’s as really memorable here was the pita which I wasn’t expecting. They’re very rich and.. buttery? I could eat a stack of those alone. Also take caution depending on who makes their green sauce—it can get spicy and I am no stranger to hot sauce!
I definitely can’t recommend this place enough, and encourage others to try something new and support a local business!
AMAZING food, especially the goat platter. This was probably the best goat I've had since spending 2.5 years in East Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer.
Have the fresh watermelon juice and a sambusa on the side and you are in for a great meal.
Been eating here for years and they’re always consistent. The sambusas got smaller but they are reasonably priced so I just order more. The Steak on Kay Kay (crepe) is my go to dish. Everything is made to order so it’s a 20 minute wait when extremely busy.
Home of the best carryout on the east side. I normally get the chicken platter with basmati rice, but everything here is delicious. The friendly owners are usually the one's taking your order and making your food. I don't know how they get their chicken so tender and flavorful. On my first visit several years ago, I was a little skeptical about having raisins in my rice along with small pieces of potato. But the sweet raisins offer a great flavor contrast when you add the spicy green homemade jalapeno sauce. And I'd highly recommend getting an extra container of that green sauce.
I can't say enough about the Somali Steak Sandwich, so tender and yummy. And the green sauce that comes with... That green sauce is so FRESH tasting, I just love it. I've had good Baklava there, too. I overheard like 6 people get the tender goat but I just can't give up my Somali Steak Sandwich. Good people working there! The atmosphere to me is classic East Side Milwaukee!
I've been coming here the past 5 years and I have to say, there's not many places in town that can compete. The chicken and beef platters come with the best rice and marinated onions I've ever had. The sambusas are stuffed full and perfectly flaky. If you're ever anywhere remotely near Brady Street I couldn't recommend Blue Star more highly.
Absolutely loved everything I had! The kay Kay with tender goat was amazing. Sambusas were excellent, especially the beef with the green sauce. Prices were affordable and serving size was generous. Staff was friendly and helpful.
From the moment I drove up until I drove off, I was very pleased. This little restaurant is a family owned treasure. It was my first visit and hopefully not my last. Unfortunately, I'm not a resident of Milwaukee.
It's clean and sanitary which is a major issue for many small establishments but not them, not at Blue Star. You could eat of the floor but don't. Lol Before I could open the door the aroma filled the air. My mouth watered so much I could barely order. Considering everything we ordered was made fresh and the fact that we were behind two others, I was surprised how quickly the food arrived. She had vegan and non vegan options. The customer service(we met the chef) was out of this world. I thought I was at home in my grandmother's kitchen. The food had love and joy in every bite. The atmosphere is family friendly and welcoming.
I’m so glad I tried this restaurant. I got a sandwich and beef sambusa (which was absolutely incredible, especially with the green sauce) for a great price. I can’t wait to come back and try more menu items. So happy this gem is on the east side!
