Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Warsan, a new African restaurant and coffee shop first-time owner Loyan Hassan Abdi tells me means good news in the Somali language, has opened in the strip mall at 2935 East McDowell Road (McDowell and 29th Street.)
The casual, bare-bones restaurant, opened for about a week, is still sparse on decor and doesn’t have a menu yet, but Hassan Abdi says he’ll be happy to run through Warsan’s small selection of African dishes with a heavy influence on Somalian cuisine (think whole fried tilapia, goat curry, and the triangular snack sambuusa, a Somali version of the samosa) with new guests.
Warsan is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. For more information, call 602-275-6707.
