Legendary Somali chai with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and milk
"A coffee shop inside Karmel Mall known for Somali shaah, a spiced tea, and for serving as a community hub within the Somalian dining network." - Stacy Brooks
"Head to Karmel Mall for a cup of steaming Somali shaah (a.k.a. chai, or spiced tea) at Hamdi, where two kettles are kept boiling all day. First comes a pour of white sugar into the water; then a scoop of black tea leaves; then fragrant ground ginger, cinnamon, and cardamon; all finished with steamed milk. Grab a sambusa or some malawax (sweet cardamom crepes) to-go — or pull up a chair for a heartier breakfast of nafaquo (hard-boiled eggs that are rolled in spiced mashed potatoes, then battered and fried)." - Joy Summers
"Hamdi Somali Coffee serves a legendary cup of chai at Karmel Mall. The chai is made by boiling black tea leaves with cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger, then combined with steamed milk. It pairs well with malawax or nafaquo." - Ali Elabbady
