Keep Madina's Cuisine Open

Madina's Cuisine is a Fargo restaurant serving Somali food owned and operated by Madina. For those who haven't visited, Madina created a restaurant that serves as much acceptance as it does amazing injera, and its intrinsic value as a community space and restaurant makes Fargo a better place

However, her restaurant could close soon due to the financial difficulties that can come from owning a small business in Fargo. There is also an inherent drop in business during the month of Ramadan. This page is meant to financially enable Madina to relocate and/or stay in business.

All proceeds go directly to Madina, as we co-create this fundraising effort. Let's make sure this restaurant, community center, and favorite part of Fargo can thrive!

Support from community members and Medina's friends has been echoed throughout the FM area:

"I used to travel for my job (nursing) and that was my stop every morning to get breakfast. She would make me the best tea and African donut which reminded me of the taste of everything I had when I was a child back home."

"We love Madina and her restaurant! She served us the first authentic African food our family ever tried and it was amazing! We continue to enjoy Madina Cuisine on a regular basis. Not only is her food delicious but she is such a warm and caring person. She takes a genuine interest in her customers and is so hospitable. She is an extremely hard worker and provider for her family. We can't recommend Madina Cuisine highly enough!"

"We really enjoy her food and she has taken care of our huge crew so well!"

"She is an amazing chef and an even better person. Energetic, smart, hard working as all get out and, honestly, serves the best sambusa in town. Hands down."
