    Big portions, very worth the price. I got the fettuccine with chicken and salmon and gyro and fries. It was good. Everything was fresh and hot but she does get busy so you may have to wait a bit for your order. She makes a very good orange sauce that goes on almost everything there She moved across the street to a brick and mortar, nice place.

    I cannot say enough amazing things about this gem of a restaurant! Honey and her Mom own and operate it. On the phone, Honey walked me through how to order on UberEats and then, when I asked if she could add a little note to my order to surprise/encourage my sister during her finals, she casually said, oh I'll just go across the street and buy a card for you. WHAAAAT?! Who does that?! These amazing women, that's who! ALSO, my sister said the sambusa was the BEST, most authentic sambusa she's had since she was living in the UAE and that the food was all so delicious. Thank you SO much all around Honey (and Honey's mom)!!

    I walked here from my AirBnb the first night I landed in Seattle; Mama was so nice & wanted to make sure I liked the food since it was my first time eating there. I ended up ordering one each of the chicken, beef, veggie sambusa along with the 'liquid gold' dipping sauce and everything was delicious~ Perfect late night dinner. Next time I'm in Seattle I will definitely visit again so I can try everything else on the menu!

    This is the spot!!!!!!! Everything is impeccable from the food to the service to the vibe went on a Saturday night it was so refreshing to see 20 complete strangers bonding over 1 thing MAMA ! the staff is so funny patient and kind. My friend was a little tipsy and mama personally gave her a free water bottle and fries while our food was being prepared. I can’t eat seafood but Mama & her team personally cleaned and sanitized the grill so I was able to safely consume the food! That’s next level service THE CHEESECAKES ARE FIRE!!!!! I will be getting one for my bridal shower !!!! Thank you so much to these lovely ladies you always make our day keep it up !!!

    The owners are the sweetest! This sister duo made me feel like I was apart of the family. I was disappointed that there was no dine in options yet but they gave me a sneak peak of their future dining room and it was so chic! The alfredo was delicious and halal. It’s so hard to find halal food that’s fresh that late. The muslim community definitely needed this!

    Love this delicious late night spot! The sambusa’s were so good and the chicken sandwich hit the spot. Can’t wait to go back and try the cheesecake.

    First and foremost... absolutely delicious. Room for improvement... maybe add a little bit more chicken to the sandwich (or perhaps half of the chicken was omitted from my sandwich by accident?). Still would recommend 10/10 based on flavor alone. 100% chance I will be ordering again!

    I don't even know where to start. The food is AMAZING, like really, AMAZING! The portions are generous as well, so no worries about feeling hungry later. And you can get food at 3 in the freaking morning! So, when you're at a friend's house all night because their pet just passed away, and you realize no one has eaten in at least 12 hours, you can go get some delicious food that is made with love and definitely worth the cost. I live 20 minutes south of here, but will definitely be making trips back for the cheesecake and salmon pasta!

    To get here turn off Rainier on rose then the driveway is on Wabash. Very small parking, not easy to turn around in. The place is really tucked back, but once you find it, it makes sense. But the food.. awesome, top notch sambusas. Some of the best that I have ever had. I had the beef and the lentils, loved both. Fried chicken sandwich is great. One of the best options for late night food in the area. Will definitely come back again. I want to try the dessert

    I can’t get over this raspberry white chocolate cheesecake. Legit made me wanna cry out of happiness 🥹 Edit after a year: Their cheesecake is still amazing. Their sambusa is literally the best one ever. Pasta tastes really good too!

    We pulled up around 1am to get food and let me tell you ... Mama Sambusa did not disappoint!!! The food was absolutely delicious and the lovey lady cooking to us was very kind. If I lived in WA I would be a regular. I highly recommend trying all the Sambusa options! Chicken Sambusa was my favorite as well as the chicken tacos!!!

    Food was pretty good for first time eating there. Had the shrimp tacos and they were good. A bit pricey but not bad at all. I'd suggest ordering or asking for more sauce though, otherwise it can be a bit dry. The lemonade both strawberry and blueberry was good too.

    The lady is world class. The sweetest woman on the planet. I was carrying my 2 month old and had my 4 year old with me along with my husband. We ordered at the door but she told me to come in as I had a small baby. She gave us fresh sambusa out of which chicken was my favorite but the others were pretty good too. She talked to us in our native language being urdu and we felt extremely warm and welcomed. She has a passion for language and Carries herself very well. Her for was awesome!! The chicken tacos were delicious 🤤. Overall wonderful wonderful experience.

    Mama Sambusa’s is LITERALLY, The TRUTH! Bomb af, the best home cooked meal you’ll ever get AND has the best customer service. #undefeated

  • 5/5 Young S. 1 year ago on Google
    I love mama sambusa. Food is always fresh, the portions are perfect for the value, and customer service is excellent

  • 5/5 Vanessa S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's really hard to find good food open late in this area. Mama Sambusa not only is open late but the food and customer service makes it a no-brainer to keep me coming back! The chicken sandwich is delicious, as well as their tacos and pasta (I'm slowly working my way through every item on the menu). Cheesecakes are super yummy too! 10/10 recommend if you want warm and welcoming hospitality along with your tasty meal!

    They got my order wrong the first time, called to question me as if it was an issue that I caused but then the very next time that I ordered, it was cancelled. 👎🏾 unprofessional if you ask me. The one time that I was able to have their food it was pretty darn good. I likely won’t try this place again though.

    Superb service! The cheesecake was so elevated and full of flavor! I would have never expected this from an African restaurant. Chef Honey goes crazy! The Alfredo was wild A symphony of flavors. I can’t stop coming back!

    Mama Sambusa is warm, generous, and talented at everything she makes. The sambusa were on point and everything else we tried was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend paying a visit!

    This is more then just a restaurant, Mama Sambusa makes any soul feel at home. Their service is honestly amazing, and The food is gooooood, you might just come back for more. S/O to these phenomenal QUEENS for making our community a better place.

    Im impressed. As an Uber Eats driver the chef came to my car before I even had time to exit, called me by name, let me know the wait time for the orders I was picking up, and offered a complimentary beverage while I waited. And now I see the amazing food pics and excellent reviews from super satisfied customers. I will definitely be eating here in the near future as I am often in this area.

    I love everything about Mama Sambusa Kitchen! The vibe is very low key and chill. Delicious food and crazy delicious dessert. Makes me want to move near Seattle just so I can have it after every long night. Even though I'm not from the country it feels like home. Hospitality and service 10/10. I will definitely be making a stop back to Mama Sambusa in the near future!
