Puff-puff is a traditional fried dough snack that is commonly consumed across Africa.
“Our Bajiyo — a beloved Somali snack crafted from black-eyed peas — is seasoned to perfection and fried until irresistibly crisp. Enjoy it with our tangy tamarind dip or spicy house sauce for a truly authentic Somali culinary experience. Come savor the tradition!”
“Mandazi (Swahili: mandazi, maandazi) is a traditional form of fried bread that originated along the Swahili Coast. Soft, slightly sweet, and wonderfully fluffy, it is enjoyed across East Africa, where it is also known as bofrot or puff-puff.”

Banaadir Restaurant on Stoddard Road is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Halal African and Middle Eastern cuisine. The restaurant has recently reopened after a brief closure, and we couldn't be happier to see them back in action. Their hours are convenient, with the restaurant open from 11am until 9pm Tuesday through Sunday.
One thing that sets Banaadir apart is their commitment to providing a welcoming atmosphere for all customers. They recently posted about a setup provided by The Coca-Cola Company that made their restaurant shine with different colors of drinks. It's clear that they take pride in creating an inviting environment for everyone who walks through their doors.
The food at Banaadir is truly outstanding. They offer Somali Halal food, which is both unique and delicious. We were particularly impressed by their recent social media post showcasing some of their dishes, including succulent meat skewers and flavorful rice dishes. It's no wonder that customers keep coming back - one satisfied customer even received a shoutout on social media!
If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Auckland, look no further than Banaadir Restaurant on Stoddard Road. With their commitment to quality food and welcoming atmosphere, it's no surprise that they've become a local favorite.
