My first time trying Kenyan cuisine and It won't be my last. They had a very unique menu including goat, lamb, tripe, beef but being a newbie I went with the steak combo platter. The steak was seasoned well and cooked with onions and peppers and served over a Kenyan fried rice which was also flavorful. I had the fried plantains as my side and they were amazing with a soft inside and sweet caramelized outside. read more

Sahani Kitchen - Steak platter with plantains - Food Trucks Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

My first African restaurant. I took my Ghanian friend with me. I've been spoiled by her food that Sahani lacked flavor compared to her dishes. I like the 2 sides that came with it. There is no AC in the restaurant so it was a little unbearable to sit inside eating hot food. The total of this picture was $27 and there was a tad bit wait. Understandably, assuming everything was made fresh. I think I would go back and try something else but not sure. read more

Sahani Kitchen - Beef Stew with Fufu - Food Trucks Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

My family and I were served beef stew and goat pepper soup, plantains, cabbage, jollaf rice as well as the other rice (basmati rice seasoned with allspice). We also tried a beef patty. I was so disappointed with everything honestly. I left believing that this was not an authentic restaurant, almost no way. The meats lacked rich flavor, it was seasoned but yet still bland and it wasn't tender, more like chewy. That allspice rice and peas and cabbage should be removed from the menu. The cabbage is honestly the worst I've ever eaten, it was bland and overcooked. Let's not forget the poor beverage selection. Overall, I would not give them a second chance to disappoint me and as far as a recommendation, that would not come close to crossing my mind. read more

The cheesesteak may be one of the best sandwiches in Birmingham. The goat soup was also pretty amazing itself as well! read more

My husband found this place after I said I was craving Egusi and Fufu. I had not heard of this place and I wanted to go right away. We stopped by for a lunch date today. The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and was all smiles. My husband ordered the lemon pepper wings and fries. He enjoyed his meal. Of course, I ordered the Egusi and Fufu, which was very delicious. The food and service were great! I loved the music playing in the background. I will definitely be back. read more

if you're looking for some authentic african (kenyan) food in Birmingham make sure to check out sahani! this is my first time ever coming to the restaurant although i've tried their food truck before. this is a family owned establishment, and every time i come in the owners are so nice and the service is always 10/10. everything i cooked to order so expect to wait at least 15mins for your food. previously i've tried their lamb quesadillas, masala fries, wings, chipati bread, and samosas. this time at the restaurant tried out the nyama choma (lamb) with jollof rice, tomato salad and a beef samosa. overall i'm satisfied with my order and the food was delicious as always and the portion was great! read more

I'm so glad I found this place!! Just moved from LA and was craving African food and this place hit the spot. The food is cooked to order but it still came out pretty quickly and everything was so flavorful. I got the egusi with fufu, collards, and tomato salad. The chicken in the egusi was so tender and falling off the bone. Can't wait to come back and try some of their other dishes! read more

Stopped in here while in B'Ham for a doctors appointment. I have never tried Nigerian food but I'm glad I did! They didn't actually have my first 2 choices so I had to go with the beef stew. I was not disappointed! It was very flavorful and a little spicy. It came with greens, fried plantains and fufu. For those who don't know what fufu is, it's basically plantains that have been smashed with a mortar and pestle until it turns into a gummy substance. That was actually pretty bland but good in its own way. You dip it into the sauce of the stew and you're supposed to swallow it whole ( I chewed it) lol. I would definitely recommend that you try this place if you're ever in the Birmingham area! You won't be disappointed! OH and the fries were amazing! I had a side of those also read more

Very delicious food! My girlfriend and I have been a couple times and have never been disappointed. Friendly service as well. Very cozy and small inside, which can be appealing. We prefer to just take the food back home though. read more

I came to Sahani Kitchen and had an amazing lunch! The whole fish was crispy, flavorful, and overall delicious. The sauces that come with were both incredible, and with a bit of lemon over the fish and greens it was a fantastic flavor combo. I've never had fufu before but it was so good. And the MASALA FRIES I can't wait to get back. The place is casual and friendly, and the employees are so nice and helpful. I highly recommend this for any meal, it is such a great spot! read more

Incredible food and atmosphere. Extremely friendly staff. I was around the block vending a market at Haven and stumbled upon this little gem. Tiny hole in the wall almost under a bridge with a food truck parked outside. I got the steak philly and a samosa. Damn delicious. Their fries and sauce are great, too. read more

I can't say enough about this place! I drive from Huntsville to Birmingham just to eat at this place. The Egusi, the lamb, the fufu, the quesadillas, the greens, the fries, the samosas, and the fried bread are all my favorites but I wouldn't hesitate to try everything in the menu! They are family owned and super friendly! read more

This was First time visiting Sahani and not gonna lie the Nyama choma (Lamb) with ugali was pretty good (being that I also like my food fresh also). The meal really embodies the Kenyan cuisine of the Nyama Choma to its fullest. The lamb was seasoned to perfection, juicy and hot and the ugali being a little average was still a good addition with the vegetables and lamb and even though I (chose) to wait a little while for my meal to be cooked fresh so I could watch the LSU and AUBURN game, it was definitely worth it. I will definitely be returning for another great and tasty experience. read more

The lamb is so so good. Had me gnawing on the bone. It's a bit of a hole in the wall and I drove passed it because it's kind of tucked away. The lady at the counter took my order and I didn't have to wait long for her to cook it up. Hot and fresh...just delicious read more
