The Heritage Restaurant

Some of the best food in town! Traditional Somali dishes cooked with love and shared in community.

Friendly staff! Enjoyed the anjero and soup, and goat and rice. The Sambusa are good too. Very clean, bright and welcoming inside.

Delicious food friendly people and clean place. Food was plenty and price was reasonable.

The food was out in 5 minutes and the rice and goat was phenomenal

ma shaa Allah, very delicious food and the people are very friendly and kind.

The lunch Heritage restaurant provided for the Park Ave elementary staff was delicious. Thank you so much!

My kiddos and I got lunch here as a way to peak into Lewiston's Somali community on the way through. The decor is a little fancier than you'd expect for a place serving homestyle meals. The appetizers were yummy, especially the crepes, which are a little sweeter than the French version. We also got samosas, which were good but not as good as I've had in a Somali-American kitchen. Similarly, the ugali and beef dish was underwhelming. The ugali was pretty dry. (My kids called it mashed potatoes and gobbled it up, though).

If I went again, I'd get the goat & spaghetti, because that seemed like the most popular option among the Somali patrons, and likewise I'd get a mango smoothie.

Paradoxically, they did a fantastic job with the American food I ordered for the kids - grilled chicken and french fries, which was on a big sign in the window but not on the menu. The chicken was just perfect - flavorful and juicy. The fries were clearly hand-cut and came out steaming hot from the deep fryer.
