We had a very pleasant experience dining in Sahan. The food was delicious with very generous portions and the presentation was also amazing. We had a platter for two with beef steak and chicken stew. We were given the lentil soup at first which my kid liked a lot. For drinks we had mango juice. And there was also a station for complimentary tea. The tea won't disappoint you either. Overall it was a lovely experience.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts! Because I can't go a month without some goat meat, I was so excited to get my hands dirty cleaning up these goat ribs. Grilled to introduce a lick of smoke it each bite, its savoriness balanced with a green chilli vinegar sauce, along with some veggies and a layer of aromatic rice. To wash it all down, is a complimentary serving of lentil soup as well!

Flavour, flavour, flavour! From gorgeous fluffy rice, highlighted by delicious onions, to a healthy garden salad, to tender succulent meats. Sahan does not disappoint. Goat ribs are fall apart tender, mild in gaminess; chicken legs are seasoned to perfection, even delicious salmon as a fish option. My favourite is the green hotsauce. Spicy but not overbearing, not taking over the flavours of the dish, but adds a high note of acidity to the meats. Milk cake is amazing. For people who love a well soaked milk cake, this beautiful sponge is for you; sweetness is on point. Food packed and travelled well by delivery. I would recommend and will order again.

I got the beef stew and it was very delicious with large portions that I was not able to finish. The meat very soft and comes with yummy rice. The servers are very nice and offered us free mango juice and lemon soup. Will be coming back!!

My 4th time back here, and it's my only go-to for Somalian food. Recently renovated the place looks very modern. The staff are always pleasant, and the owner (forgot the gentleman's name) is personable and making sure everything is okay. I opted for their beef suqar served with heaping portions and at a reasonable price. Their meals come with lentil soup and juice! I'll be back soon!!

A few weeks back I went to this Somalian restaurant in Scarborough located in Lawrence ave E. It was my first time trying African food and I was impressed! The portions were great for the price and all of the dishes were different which made it more appealing. We tried their: 👉 Chicken stew 👉 Beef stew 👉 Goat ribs 👉 Beef steak 👉 Goat lamb My favourite was the goat ribs and the chicken stew. Loved both the dishes! All the items cane with salad and rice and we were also given lentils and mango juice before our main dishes. We got the Somalian milk cake for dessert - this was nothing fancy, just the regular milk cake that tasted really delicious. Would highly recommend to give this place a try if you’re nearby!

If you're looking for some Somali Traditional Food, I would recommend trying Sahan Restaurant. We ordered Lamb with Rice and Beef Steak with Pasta. The Beef with pasta was average for me but the lamb with rice was standout in terms of taste and quality. The Milk cake as dessert was also tasty. Therefore, my overall experience was pretty decent, and I recommend the folks who wanted to experience such traditional food. Finally, as a bonus you will get complimentary Mango Juice and soup at the beginning of the main dish and at the end you will get unlimited tea. I took almost 3 cups of tea, certainly refreshing.

Ive been here over 10 times now, I like to have a few trips before I review. The food is all really good actually, price is not bad. For a 3 meals, , a couple very small soups, plus 2 milk cakes, its about $100. Personally I find the goat to be too hard so l always choose the chicken meals. Id recommend this restaurant! But side note to the restaurant, please ensure proper napkins and utensils every time, that part is super inconvenient, for those of us that dont want to eat with our hands.

Very friendly. Quran playing. Quick service (they were not busy), generously offered extra rice by owner, dishes were great. Chicken breast was just a little dry. But the goat ribs were very appetizing and the rice was nice and soft Milk cake is one of the best deserts I ever had. They have a very accommodating prayer area.

My family and I had a very nice experience at Sahan . We arrived around 30 past 7 on a Saturday evening and were immediately alloted a table, despite the restaurant being packed. We ordered 2 t-bone steaks, 2 beef steaks, 1 beef suqar, 2 beef stews, and one somali milk cake Our main server Nurah Farah, was very kind and patient. She made sure to accurately take our order and was also very friendly The meals were very delicious, and rich in a homely taste. They were not spicy and had a very tasty and natural flavour. The servings were very generous, and they later provided us with boxes to pack our takeaways. The meals came with complimentary items like green hot sauce, lentil soup, jugs of mango juice and glasses of water, which were also generously served. I usually dont like soups, but the lentil soup was so delicious and it was served almost hot which was good. I tried the green hot sauce too; it was good but a little too spicy for me, but it would be nice for people who like spicy meals. The mango juice was so good, it was not too sweet and not watery like but also not thick either; you could tell they used real mangos. I almost wanted to ask how theyd made it . The somali cake was a takeaway, but it is so delicious; a little sweet but the texture is amazing as it is soaked in milk. Service was fast; we did not have to wait long for our order, even though we ordered a lot of food. The restaurant is very clean and the tables were packed with families, which made it a little noisy as everyone was chatting but I found the vibe very warm and homely. There was some nice Somali music playing in the background, and once or twice they would turn off the lights for a family to sing Happy Birthday to their loved one(s). I also witnessed a Somali bride being sang to which was a wonderful experience. The families in the restaurant were of different races and it was wonderful to see so many different cultures represented there. The staff members were very friendly and patient, despite being very busy trying to attend to customers I would recommend getting there a bit early, as some of the food items from the menu were finished, but not to worry, almost all the food items are delicious which is a plus for the restaurant. I would therefore recommend getting different food items if going there with your family and share, so that you can all have a taste of everything and determine your favourite meal out of the whole menu. That being said, my favourite meal out of all that we ordered was the beef stew meal; the beef was well cooked, very rich in taste and not dry, the rice was also very tasty and it came with some salad on the side. It was a generous serving too. Our bill came to around $160, but it was so worth it because the servings are very generous and the food is also very delicious. The restaurant environment was good too. The restaurant is kid friendly and mostly for families. There is ample free parking outside. So, if you are looking for a restaurant with a homely feel and a place to enjoy delicious, generously served meals with your family, then this is definitely the place to go . I would rate the place a 10/10, as my family and I had a really great experience. We will definitely be back there. Thank you Sahan!

Very upset with todays experience i called the restaurant for the timings because it said 11 she said they close at 9:45 i told the lady i will come at 9:45 will i be served she said yes i said take my order i will be there in 5 mins she said no we dont take phone orders i got to the store with my baby and she Literally said you have to eat in 15 mins because everyone will be gone. How do you expect someone to pay for food and rush to eat it especially with an elderly person and a baby in such a cold weather because you dont want to do your job. Litreally been eating at sahan since years never had such an upsetting experience.

Found this place through a review on utube. Definitely a hidden gem. From the time we walked through the door, we were greeted with smiles and hospitality. I ordered the steak and rice and my wife ordered the goat Ribs and rice. Soup to start (included in meal) and mango juice (Definitely the best juice Ive ever had). The plates comes piled high with rice, meat and salad. Funny story, I wasnt served with knife to cut steak. So I used my spoon to cut steak. Thats how tender it was. When the Owner stopped by table to check on everything, my wife asked him for a knife. I explained that I didnt need one since the steak was tender. But he brought me a knife anyways. The rice is amazing with hints of lemon and spice. I was chasing every last grain of rice on my plate. The goat ribs were tender with just a little charing. And of course, the steak was amazing, also with just a hint of charing. With our meal finished, we stood to leave, the owner came over to ask if we had tried the tea. It was in a dispenser on a side table for everyone to enjoy. The owner insisted that we have some for the end of our meal. Not wanting to offend anyone, we had a cup of tea. It was amazing. Im not a tea drinker, but that was crazy good. Now I understand why so many were getting tea. Its got hints of Cinnamon and is very sweet. So dont wait till the end of supper to have tea, its there, enjoy it. The only complaint that my wife had, was that she ate too much. We took milk cake home for dessert. Bill was less than $60. With that service and great food, leave a healthy tip. Thanks Sahan for a great evening.

If you re looking for Somali food Sahan is a great option to try. They ve been around for over a decade providing authentic Somali cuisine. A good option to try is the goat ribs - they tend to sell out fast so go early! Overall the food is good. Keep in mind you get a lot more when you order take out (about twice the amount)!

So I came here a while ago as I was in the area and never tried this ethnic food before. The staff is nice and love seeing the owner taking the time to talk to his clients. It was a while since I ate lamb and ordered that to go, and it is packed with flavor but the downside to this dish was bone was in and there was a bit of fat still on. I understand this can add flavor to a dish I feel at least trimming the fat after the meal is cooked is needed as it really took away the enjoyment of the meal. My meal did come with soup but I mistakenly forgot to ask what kind of soup it was and I tried looking online but no description and I also called the restaurant but no answer so I didnt eat the soup due to dietary restrictions which was disappointing. In the end of the day I would give this place another chance but just not the lamb dish and I wouldnt go out of my way to eat here.

A delightful experience. My friend and I visited Sahan for Iftar. We had the goat ribs with rice, and the beef suqaar with chapathi. Both meals were accompanied by a soup and mango juice. Todays offering was a lentil soup, with hints of garlic and what might have been some tomato. Absolutely delicious. Loved the beef suqaar and chapathi. The rice was flavourful as were the goat ribs. None of the food was oily. Service was extremely pleasant and hospitable. The ambience of the place was charming. After Iftar, a group of men and women gathered in a corner where everyone spoke and was applauded. The women spoke and were applauded, the same as the men. Charming. We were told they were discussing business, and floating business ideas. But then this was contradicted and we were told it was politics. It didnt seem contentious so it couldnt have been politics!!!! What a lovely experience. Thanks to @eatmorescarborough for recommending Sahan. Thank you to the owner and staff at Sahan for providing us with this wonderful culinary experience.

I can t really review the food as I was never served any! We arrived at this restaurant at 9:30 (half an hour before close). We asked the lady at the counter if we could dine in. She said yes and proceeded to take our order. While we were waiting for meal to arrive we told the lady (who was the manager) that we were going to the neighboring business as long as we came back by 9:45). We came back two minutes before 9:45 and the lady tells us she cancelled the order and subsequently closed the kitchen. We asked if we could at least get the order on take out and were refused service. I ve never experienced service so rudely before. I m not planning on going back.

Bad customer service!! I am buying his food since 15 years. But yesterday (FRIDAY) @3.15pm the servers does not give extra hot souce even you tell them you are Indian and like your food extra spicy. I have to beg them for extra hot sauce. She asked me to pay extra 50c and remain adamant on it, even I just bough 50$ worth of food. If you go any restaurent in the world and asked them I like spicy food and request some extra spicy on the side, they would give without hesitantly. I would have to stop going there and tell all my friends to avoid this business even though it would sadens me!!

We went on a Saturday and they served us within two minutes of ordering. It was very obvious that the food was microwaved. The tables were dirty and the service was non-existent. You had to get up to order or ask for anything. We also didnt get soup. Shocked at why there are so many good reviews. Save your money.

Me and 2 friends came in here when in the area and while they had the food here, it was my first time trying Somali food and I absolutely loved it. Most of the menu is barbecued meats with their rice and salad. We opted for the T-bone steak and the goat ribs plates. 2 plates for the 3 of us were more than enough. The quantity of meats and quality were absolutely amazing. While I liked the t-bone steak, I absolutely loved the goat ribs. They were juicy, a little fatty and bursting with flavour. All of it went well with their rice and salad. They also give a juic and lentil soup on the house. The soup is bland but it goes amazingly with their green chilly sauce. I love spicy food and the lentil soup with the chilli sauce was match made in heaven. The service was nice and friendly too from the ladies. I will surely come back and try more of their dishes. Have wanted to try Suqaar and will do that sometime. Dietary restrictions: Halal

I ordered goat and rice. Both rice and goat were very fatty. Felt very uncomfortable to eat. Dirty restroom as well. Tissue papers were all over the restaurant floor.

It may seem pricey but they offer you fairly large portions of rice and mango juice and lentil soup is included in each meal. Meat is cut thin but its tasty. Id return for sure.

Food is great, but pathetic service by servers here. They are not trained to serve customers. Dine In experience is not that great here. It seems like they are working unwillingly. No smile, no enthusiasm for customers. And please never call them for order because firstly they wont answer. And if you are lucky enough to be answered by them, your order wont be prepared within estimated time. They would start preparing when you actually enter the restaurant. It happened with me twice. This time I ordered on call and I was told that it would be ready in 10 minutes. But when I reached after driving in this crazy weather, they apologized and said that they were closing early due to weather conditions and they dont have my order ready. It was really really bad experience for me. Atleast they could have called me and let me know about this instead of letting me drive with this weather condition to get nothing. Really disappointed.

I dont really recommended this restaurant you can find a lot better one with the better service. I am always going to the moon restursnt but my friend invited me to Sahara tonight. We are coming all the way from Newmarket and Richmond Hill. The manager came but he didnt care about late performance and low quality of food.

Very bad service I m still way 45 minutes to get the order . Note that all the customers who entered after me got their orders and the last customers entered half an hour after me. And my request does not need time at all. Treating the staff very badly. Waste of my time in such a bad restaurant

I came from Montreal craving this place as I used to eat here a lot, this time I was very disappointed, I ve explained to the waitress that I only needed two plates with a piece of the T-bone not the entire plate, She went to ask and came back with an approval from her boss to only find out at the end that I was charged for the whole plate, I asked again while they were closing and she said I charged you for two plates only while the amount was something else and I ve been charged for three.

I wandered in because I was in the neighborhood and was blown away. The flavors are outstanding. The restaurant was very clean, well decorated and the staff was friendly and helpful. I ordered the beef stew and tried the milk cake, which was OUTSTANDING. Light and creamy. The portion sizes were incredibly generous for the prices. I cant wait to return and try everything else on the menu.

Where do I start from firstly, the lentil soup is literally water and salt, the meat and the rice was very cold and very plain seems like all they use for the flavouring is food colouring and MR. noodles powder it was tasteless and to add insult to injury their mango juice was disgusting, it was water sugar and food coloring they forgot the mango part. Staff here had a lot of attitude except one guy who was nice and welcoming.but In all fairness the hygiene is good they kept everything clean. But food quality has dropped drastically I wouldn t suggest this place anymore.

They are loosing integrity in their quality of food I just ordered goat meat with rice to go and they gave me all bones, cartlidge and fat there was not even a spec of meat on the bones and I realized when I got home to feed my kids .by the way this happed 3 times in a row this month .Its an insult specially after the fact that I always tip

This is an awesome place if you want to taste steaks with rice n salad.. taste is so good. Also they serve a good amount of quantity! You can easily get full by ordering only one dish if u have a small family or order two dish if you have a big family.. Also don t think about the price.. Price is very reasonable too. So, what else you need!! Quality, Quality and the price all are set for you . Just get ready n grab the food with your family and friends without any doubts. Try Steak, Goat falfal, Halwa, Tea even what ever you like.. just give it a try.. you won t regret. The lentil soup comes almost free for per person with any meal you order And they will serve free banana for per person. It s their tradition to serve the free fruit.. Enjoy
