The Horn is a family-run Somali café bringing sambusas and chai to Midtown Nashville. The menu centers on made-daily sambusas in a range of fillings — traditional beef with serrano peppers and sauteed onions, chicken with potatoes, a vegetable version, plus breakfast and cheesesteak riffs — alongside a lineup of chai (Somali, dirty, brown sugar) and coffee drinks.
The chai is the through line: the café bags and ships its signature spiced blend around the country, and offers starter kits for brewing it at home. Cakes and cheesecakes round out the counter alongside the sambusas and drinks.
Regulars have made it a go-to for breakfast and casual meals, with the sambusas drawing particular praise and the chai known to split opinion.
