Karmel Mall

Somali Mall, that my friend who is Somalian told me to go here. It's overwhelming all of the different things to buy. They also offer public services to assist the community such as barber shops, henna tattoo art, creams and essential oils and scents. They even have some restaurants that allow you to eat of the culture and order special cuisine. I was impressed that they even have money market and currency businesses. Almost a one stop shop! Interesting location full of culture and beautiful merchandise. The textiles are immaculate. Enjoy every visit.

There's a street that runs from a lake street that heads north for about 3 of 4 blocks that is a little piece of Somalia and it's a hidden gem for an experience in the twin cities. The streets are busy with our Somalian community members and they are amazing, kind, and beautiful people. I definitely recommend hitting up the ice cream shop on this block or grab some takeout and have lunch at an open table in this part of town. Always welcoming and fun vybes from little Somalia on lake and pleasant. Check it out😸

The mall has potential but is not up to standards of competing malls in the area. It doesn’t have much regulation or order and is a free for all. The fact that the owner “sabri” is very incompetent,unhelpful, and takes advantage of his tenants doesn’t help these conditions either. I wish we could see the mall undergo serious interior repairs.

My sister got a chemial burn from Sisters Henna. They would not refund her & were very unprofessional when she went to complain she them her burn marks. My sisters skin was bubbling & oozing from the altered henna that was used on her skin. Do not get HENNA done at this mall. It is not safe
