My family and I stuck out like a sore thumb here, and at this point, I'm used to it. Adventure! I've been eyeing Sahan for quite a while, but I never came in until a friend personally recommended it. She said the portions were large and the food was good. Unlike other reviews, I'll say that while the portions were good, as a pretty average eater, I would say that I could eat about 75% of my food, so most people could probably eat a whole plate.
We asked what was good and while they were able to provide us with recommendations, they were also out of a number of their recommendations. We got there I believe about 8pm at night, so I guess I'm not super upset, but somewhat surprised, especially as throughout our dinner, the number of customers inside increased quite a bit.
We ended up getting the goat ribs, the t-bone, the beef steak, and the beef stew. My favorite was the goat ribs, although the t-bone was my second favorite. We wanted more goat ribs after, but they ran out of that too. They have an option of rice, spaghetti, or some kind of flatbread. They were out of flatbread by the time we got there. They ran out of spaghetti right after we ordered it. For the spaghetti, I really don't know why they couldn't have just made more. It wouldn't have taken that long.
Our meals were supposed to come with salad, soup, and mango juice. We got the salad and the mango juice, but when we asked about the soup, we were first told that they were out and that the chef was making more but that when it was ready, we'd be able to get some, but after, when we asked again, we were just told that they wouldn't be able to give us soup because it takes at least three hours to make and they actually weren't making any more that day. They offered us no substitutions. We had to ask. They then offered us more mango juice. That was nice, but it would have been a nice disclaimer to put that it was subject to availability. I take all of that stuff into consideration when I think about things like price and value, so to have it suddenly go missing really throws me off.
Taste-wise, everything was pretty good. Nothing super distinctive I can remember other than the hot sauce, which was bright against the richer meats and it had a very nice heat to it.
Service was friendly, albeit somewhat slow.
I might come back, but I'd come back earlier to try some of the items they ran out of.
