Customer service here is a joke. If you are not Somali no one even pays attention to you. Only place with many international items people need which is sad

Literally the worst customer service experience in Mankato. The disrespect of the workers here is crazy. Don’t come here if you don’t want to wait 29 minutes to buy one item

The food speaks for it self to be honest! And the customer service is Beyond friendly and warming. As a worker an son of the old man that some people I see here not to happy with him or believe his behavior isn’t at his best. He’s the owner of the restaurant. Fun facts; actually he’s the one who also makes those lamb shank that u see Every morning and some people trust are on line for it everyday! My father might be old but he’s Dedicated to his business an he makes sure it runs smoothly and Safely as possible for our customers and the staff. We Treat everyone with respect like any other human being wanted to be treated we listen and Provide the best service to our beloved customers.If anyone feels other wise please don’t hesitate to reach out your opinion matters To us. Again Thank you for all the beautiful comments we appreciated you guys and we will keep improving.BROTHERS RESTAURANT IS’NT GOING ANYWHERE:)

The greatest goat meat Ive ever had the pleasure of tasting, not to mention the deliciously seasoned rice. Only $10 for a meal you may only finish if youre very hungry. Unique environment, as well as a grocery store with some of my favourite beverages. Very friendly people too. I look forward to returning. I highly recommend the rice/meat based dishes if you have celiac, as I personally encountered no problems.

Went here on a whim and was incredibly surprised. It seems like a hole in the wall when you first walk in, and theres the restaurant on the right-hand side and a grocery store on the left. I ordered Lamb with Rice, and for $10 there was a very generous amount of both lamb and rice, along with lime and a banana. Certainly worth the money. The lamb exceeded all expectations, and was perhaps some of the best meat I have ever had, especially within the Mankato area. The grocery store has many foreign delicacies, such as Vimto soda and imported tea, among many other things. The service was great; the two men there were very pleasent, helpful, and conversational. I will for sure be returning many times into the future!

They used to be very good. The owner has changed recently and it is the worst. Prices got extremely high. Quality of the food is so bad. Their behavior is very very rude as well. Avoid this restaurant please.

Review №26

They always screw up their food order, and if you tell them they will argue with you and will say you are wrong. Was never satisfied but always forced to go because my friends love to eat rice and this place comes close to some good indian food, but always gives fried chicken when i want roast chicken. So always check the packet before you leave the store.

Seriously one of the best biriyani Ive had. Gives you large portion which can share with a friend and then still have leftovers. One of the better restaurants in Mankato. As for grocery, they sell fresh meat, both beef and goat.
