    Beef sambusa with orange sauce
    Maya A.

    So I heard about this place via instagram and the rave was about the Dubai chocolate. I am a chocolate lover and knew I had to try it. I arrived and it's in a small area but there's lots of parking so do not stress about parking. I walked in and saw that they had other bakery goods and sambusas as well as a variety of coffee. I decided to order 1 Dubai chocolate and 1 beef sambusa. I took my order to go and got home and let me tell you the sambusa with the orange sauce was delicious! There were no crumbs or sauce left behind! The Dubai chocolate! When I say chefs kiss! It was so good! So much so that I went back a couple of hours later to get two more sambusas and a large Dubai chocolate with two minis to hold me over for the rest of the week! Will I be here again! Should you be there too? Absolutely! This place is too good to pass up so go now!

    This is a cute coffee shop! This is the perfect place to work and relax. It wasn't too loud and it had some perfect sunlight. The Biscotti Tre Leches was DIVINE! It wasn't too sweet. I had the brown sugar chai latte. It was a tad bit too sweet.

    Well I only came here for the widely talked about Dubai Strawberries. They were good and rich in flavor just not worth $18 in my opinion. They do seem to get quite a bit of business from how packed it was. I waited well over 15 minutes to get strawberries. It seems like majority of the customers on this day were wanting strawberries. Prepare to wait. I did order some sambusas. I can't say that I was a big fan of the beef and chicken. They were both dry and lacked flavor. I did hear that the Philly was good, so maybe on my next visit I'll try it. The staff was very friendly and was all hands on deck. They were definitely not understaffed on this day.

    The Veggie Sambusa

    I appreciate it being a culturally unique spot! The service was standard and friendly. The ambiance was cute as well, although nothing too notable to name. The nafaqo was good (for reference: a fried mashed potato ball with an egg inside), but I personally enjoyed the veggie sambusa much more! There was also a great touch of the sambusa "newspaper" with the order- v entertaining. My only note is for the drinks: while great to sip on, the cappuccino was WAY too hot (basically undrinkable for about a 1/2 hour) and the chai was verrry sweet. So order accordingly! Otherwise, a good spot to check out!

    Service here was great and the staff were very friendly! The sambusa's were freshly made, and oh my the coffee was the best part, very tasty and was quickly made! One of the best places to stop for a quick bite and good coffee in the area.

    Had to try the chai latte and an iced coffee from probably the most hyped chai shop in the state, and they did not disappoint! With what appeared to be a long line, each order was fulfilled swiftly and kindly, and the quality of the drinks and pastries were all top notch.

    Brown sugar chai

    It's called the only chai that matters in Nashville for a reason! This chai is seriously delicious. And the fresh sambusas are just the most crave worthy bite in town. Hot and flavorful filling enveloped in a crispy, slightly puffy, beautiful golden triangle. And the sauces all bring their own unique flavor, be sure to try them all. The only thing is the counter service can take a little while (never an outrageous amount of time), but it's only because they're getting the love they deserve and it's been pretty crowded inside when I've visited! But good things come to those who wait, the Horn has very good things

    Somali chia and mandizi
    Indigo P. N.

    Those are some of the most quiet and humble men I've every been around! My auntie vibe was making me want to pinch their cheeks! Lol! But the chia is smootheeeeeeeeee! I only had the mandizi puff. Bought some chocolate to make "cookies". I kind of want to put some of that chocolate in the chia!! After eating the pastry, which was very light and tasty, I'm looking forward to the others!

    Great coffee shop. Love the aroma that greets you when ion walk in - chai and espresso! Had a cardemom latte and cinnamon chai - croissants were delicious. Friendly service and very welcoming atmosphere. Very worth a stop.

    I'm so happy I finally got here! Only con: parking is not good right here. Pretty stuffed lot and deliveries blocking entrance/exit. I had to go past and turn around. Tight squeeze. Okay let's get to the good stuff. The cheesy potatoes samosa was fantastic. I could have it every day. The seasonal strawberry cold foam chai was super tasty & refreshing. I'll be back to try their classic chai. I also had the chicken and got my friend the Philly cheese steak. Great choices! Grabbed some tiramisu for a friend and they loved it. Service was quick and easy. No frills spot. I need the food truck to come to my building!

    Strawberry Chai
    Soukny T.

    The Horn is a locally owned fast casual restaurant. Love the Sambusas! Basic but my favorite is the Veg Sambusa. Strawberry Chai drink is fantastic if you like the two flavor combinations. Reg Chai latte in the bottle is strong but I take it home and get two portions basically by splitting it with oat milk. Service is always nice. The trending Dubai chocolate here is my favorite in town. The Horn also does pop ups at Richland Farmer's Market with a limited menu on Saturdays.

    Iced dirty chai
    Musie Y.

    The Horn is a great hidden gem with the friendliest staff and tasty food and drinks. Such a chill spot as well. I love the dirty chai, which is Somali chai with espresso. Their chai is truly amazing because you really get the chai flavor. Some places have chai lattes that are a little plain since there is too much milk and the milk covers the chai flavor. However, the Horn has perfected the Chai and it was so good hot or cold. If you don't want espresso, then get the Somali chai. Their sambusa's are so tasty with the perfect texture. The meat is tucked in a triangle. I had their classic beef, chicken, and vegetable. All were amazing, good amount of meat inside, and flavor was wonderful. This was so good I got back on line to order a dozen of sambusa's home. Hint - you can air fry them the next day and it is wonderful with a slight crisp outer layer. I got their specialty ones to try - Philly cheesesteak and bbq chicken. Both were amazing, Philly cheesesteak was flavorful and savory, bbq chicken was creamy bbq with cheese. My favorite is probably still the classic beef sambusa, simple but amazing. Don't forget the sauces they have! There's 3 different ones and I like them all when I dipped my sambusa's in them.

    Beef sambusa and breakfast sambusa. I took them home to enjoy on the porch.

The coffee was okay but the prickly pear sparkling limeade was horrendous and went straight down the drain. The avocado toast was fine and the gf bread was not too dry to hold together. We also tried lox but they really do need to look into getting gf bagels. The lox on the gf bread didn't really work because they really skimped on the cream cheese. Like I mean a pitiful amount for 2 big thick pieces of gf bread. Also, we just finished eating and belly rumblings are already happening so the food may or may not have been cross-contaminated with gluten. We know this is a risk whenever we go out to eat but this is important for celiacs to know. Do I think we'd go again? No, its not worth the drive or the price.

This cashier took my order and just walked away. I asked for a diet coke with extra ice. I was very parched from my walk and it was really hot! I told her im very thirsty and that id like my drink now. When she walked away I thought she was going to get it, but that was not the case. I was left standing there for minutes until I flagged the other girl and had to ask a second time. The girl who initially took my order was the rudest person so far that ive met in Nashville. Since ive been here, everyone has been lovely and just so kind. The service here is off putting. Too bad, bc I loved the atmosphere and even enjoyed the simple and only breakfast item egg and cheese they had other than a parfait. I would come again but rudeness is always unacceptable.

    In town to visit family, we hunted for fresh and local on a Saturday night. We were seated…read moresurprisingly quickly - 25 min - even though live music and local vendors out back signaled a long wait. When our server Erica took our drink order and left QR codes for the menu, I quietly looked at my daughter in law and said with a grin, "I hate these. I like to hold a real menu." Although I said it quietly, our server must have caught my look because without a beat, she returned a second later with menus and said winking, "I like a real menu, too." It was subtle and intentional and set the tone for a perfect meal. I told her, "we are reading Will Guidara's Unreasonable Hospitality, and you just modeled it." She told us it's one of hers and her husband's favorite books! Our street corn nachos were delicious as well as great salsa and chips, and each of us was super happy with our taco choices. Highly recommend the brisket, featuring a horseradish cream, and the shrimp as well as the fish tacos. One small note: the flavors in my Brussels sprout taco were fantastic, but the veggies themselves were a bit tough. My tamarind margarita was SPOT ON with a perfectly generous tajin rim and dried lime slice. Food was well-timed even with a packed house. Even when the beans added on by one of our party were way too spicy for her palate, our server offered an alternative without missing a beat. In summary, a hoppin' local spot with great service and delicious food, along with a community feel. 100% recommend!

I'm always looking for a place to eat in Donelson before my Wednesday bowling league, and this fit exactly what I was craving. Local, Mexican-inspired food, dedicated parking lot, easy to get in & out quickly. The parking lot was quite popping tonight, and I did have to loop through it a couple of times to find a spot even though it is pretty spacious. A place that's been open since 2017 and is still this busy on a Wednesday is a good sign. This is part coffee shop, part restaurant, so there are two different doors. I inadvertently went through the coffee shop one and they redirected me to the restaurant side, no problem at all. I was able to be seated at a table with no wait. My waitress came right over with water and a menu, and I was clear with her that I had about a half hour before I needed to leave. She quickly took my order, giving me recommendations when I asked for advice and was torn between a couple of different things. The menu is large and reasonably priced with a very wide selection of drinks. This isn't the most authentic Mexican food, but man is it tasty. Lots of fresh ingredients and so much flavor, a real crowd pleaser for dietary restrictions and picky eaters! I was torn between chips and queso and a burrito, so it was to my benefit that the chicken burrito comes with a side of chips and salsa, and paying a small upcharge to swap in queso meant I got all of the things I was craving in one order. Pinto beans, guacamole, chipotle aioli, and rice all packed in and put on the griddle so you get that nice sear. There's an option to add a cheese skirt to the burrito that I skipped this time but would absolutely come back for. The chips were thin and crispy, the queso hot and delicious, and I couldn't have asked for more at the price. The burrito is $11 on its own and with the chicken and my upcharge I came to about $19 with tax, plus tip. When the waitress brought my food she also brought my check and a box so I could take the other half to go and get everything out of the way. In and out in thirty minutes with food that was hot, fresh, and super delicious. The service here really goes the extra mile. Easy for a solo diner, easy for a group, and easy to just walk in for a quick meal. My only small gripe is that they may still be too popular for their parking lot, which should be slightly bigger. They've also got an interesting set of coffee and matcha drinks and a brunch menu I'd love to come back for. This is a hidden gem, and I hope locals keep showing up for the great places we already have instead of only chasing whatever just opened!
