Sambusa King Restaurant’s menu is a delightful mix of bold flavors and authentic dishes that transport you straight to East Africa. The star of the menu is undoubtedly their Sambusas-crispy, golden pockets stuffed with a variety of fillings like spiced beef, lamb, or vegetables. Each bite is a perfect balance of savory and spicy, with the meat options offering a juicy, tender interior paired with the crunchy exterior.
The Shiro is another must-try, a smooth and rich chickpea stew seasoned with a blend of spices that’s deeply satisfying. It's often served with injera, a traditional sour flatbread that’s perfect for scooping up the thick, flavorful stew. If you're in the mood for something heartier, the Doro Wat is an excellent choice, a spicy chicken stew served with hard-boiled eggs. This dish is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine, and Sambusa King nails it with its deep, aromatic sauce that lingers on the palate.
Vegetarians will find plenty to enjoy as well, with dishes like the Atkilt Wot, a mildly spiced vegetable stew, and the Gomen, which is a flavorful sautéed collard green dish. Both pair wonderfully with the injera, which, with its slightly tangy flavor, provides a perfect base for the rich, spiced stews.
For those who prefer grilled meats, the Tibs is a savory choice. This dish features cubes of beef or lamb stir-fried with onions, peppers, and spices, creating a satisfying mix of textures and tastes. The meat is tender, with a smoky finish from being grilled just right.
To finish off the meal, try the Baklava, a sweet, flaky pastry filled with honey and nuts. It provides a perfect contrast to the bold, spicy flavors of the main dishes, offering a light and crispy sweetness to end your experience.
At Sambusa King, every dish feels like a celebration of East African cuisine, expertly crafted and full of rich, layered flavors that keep you coming back for more.
