As a local food enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for exciting new spots, and the buzz around House of Sambus has been absolutely infectious! Located right in North Minneapolis on 527 W Broadway, this place just opened its doors on January 24th, and I knew I had to check it out for myself. From the moment I walked in, there was a welcoming vibe, and the aroma of fresh dough and spices confirmed I was in for a treat. Now, let's talk about the main event: the sambusas. The article mentioned their homemade dough and a uniquely wrapped style, and it truly lived up to the hype. What really caught my attention was the claim of 90% less oil. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first, wondering if 'less oil' would mean less flavor or a dry texture, but I was deliciously proven wrong! The sambusas were incredibly light yet still perfectly crispy on the outside, with a tender, flavorful filling. It's such a refreshing change, allowing you to truly appreciate the taste of the ingredients without feeling heavy afterward. They offer a variety, including a delicious veggie option, which is always a plus for someone like me who loves to try different things. Beyond the savory goodness, I also had the chance to try their Somali bread, which was mentioned in the OCR. It was delightfully sweet and had a wonderful texture, making it a perfect complement to the sambusas or just a lovely treat on its own. And for all you coffee lovers out there, yes, they do sell coffee! It's great to have that option, whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast or just need a pick-me-up during the day. Their hours are quite convenient, open from 10 am to 6 pm, making it easy to pop in for lunch or an early dinner. One little tip I picked up during my visit: if you're planning to stock up or share with friends, they have a fantastic deal! If you buy ten sambusas, you can actually get free tea. It's a great way to enjoy more of their delicious offerings and save a little. The staff was incredibly friendly and passionate about their food, making the whole experience even better. It’s always wonderful to support local small businesses, especially when they bring such unique and high-quality food to the community. I highly recommend swinging by House of Sambus. You won't be disappointed!
