Rooted in Tradition. Reimagined in Nashville.
A Journey Across Continents
The Horn began with our father, who came to Nashville from Somalia in the 90s and sold sambusas around the city to support our family. We grew up helping him, and the café became a way to bring his dream to life.
Sambusas and Somali chai are the flavors of our story, and it’s that spirit we share with Nashville.
Our Roots, Our Recipe
More Than a Café
We opened The Horn in 2015 as a place where people could come together over sambusas and chai. What began with our family’s recipes has grown into a Nashville staple, welcoming everyone to share in Somali flavors, warmth, and hospitality.
Today, The Horn is more than a café, it is a gathering place for the city.

Moments from The Horn
A Flavor Carried from Somalia
The Horn brings Somali tradition together with bold innovation. From sambusas and chai to new flavors shaped by our Nashville upbringing, we serve food and drink with warmth, culture, and hospitality.
We are here to bring the heart of East African street food to a new community, one fold and sip at a time.
Our Story, Told by Others
From local love to national features, we’re grateful for the voices that have helped share our journey, one sambusa, one chai, and one story at a time.
The Horn is wonderful. If you want a quality cup of coffee or some out-of-this-world chai, this is your spot. Easily a top 5 Nashville coffee shop!

This might not be your hipster's favorite spot to write a novel, but it's a great place to catch up with a friend over great food and coffee.
