Most Disliked
Some guests have noted that the restaurant's size can feel cramped during peak hours, especially on busy evenings like Friday at 5 PM when it's at full capacity. There have been suggestions for a more extensive menu to cater to non-Somali speakers, making it easier for all patrons to engage with the offerings. While many find the service exceptional, there may be moments when wait times increase due to the restaurant’s popularity. Occasionally, guests have experienced a lack of seating during rush hours, which can deter spontaneity in visit plans. A few diners expressed the hope for expanded menu options beyond what is currently offered.

It was amazing having lunch here. Staff were friendly and even offered a “jug” rice if you speak Somali- literally meaning extra rice 😁 I politely declined as the portion was already enough. I’d only recommend they introduce a menu for the non-Somali speakers. The overall space is small but well designed and the atmosphere is stunning. I’d would definitely recommend Blue Ocean to everyone, and will visit that well cooked Haneed again

Best Somalian restaurant on seven sisters Road 100%. I’ve tried all the Somali restaurants on Seven Sisters Road , and this one strangely didn’t come up on google maps, I only came across it when I walked past it looking for Somali food (the other competitors didn’t have no lamb shoulder or soup left). As a true Somali food lover, this place is a hidden gem that no one knows about. The flavours are exquisite and mouth watering. The lamb shoulder is probably the best I’ve had cooked to perfection with endless amount of umami and satiating texture. The soup was so delicious and of course we ordered more. And the biswas has the perfect blend of spicy and flavour. This by far is the best (unknown) Somali place in north London and probably in my top 3 in London (and I’ve tried them all). Will 100% recommend all my friends and family to try it and the price is amazing as well!!!
