Sahan is the perfect restaurant to try Somalian food.
The hostess/waitress greeted us and sat us at a comfortable booth. She was very patient and explained the menu items to us. We decided on the T-bone steak for me and Goat Fal Fal for hubby. All meals come with juice, lentil soup, salad and tea.
When the lentil soup arrived it looked very plain and unappealing but looks can surely be deceiving. The lentil soup was rich and flavorful and when we added a little bit of the green hot sauce that came with it, it was out of this world! Our dishes came out pretty quick and man did it look delicious. The Goat Fal Fal was a little gamey for me but hubby enjoyed it. The T-bone steak was fine, nothing spectacular. What I enjoyed the most was the fragrant rice that came with it. Everything went well together and the flavors were harmonious, I even enjoyed the cooked onions and tomatoes that topped my steak.
After our meal we had the complimentary tea. Somalian tea has a number of different spices mixed in like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and even black pepper but everyone has their own recipe. They make their own tea here and add in their own blend of spices; it was very aromatic and a delicious way to end our meal.
Portions are large and I was more than happy to take home the left overs.
