Sarnia

Sarnia at 370 Amherst Street in Buffalo’s Black Rock neighborhood is a fast-casual Himalayan street food restaurant founded by Bangladeshi American best friends Sarboni Shill and Sonia Shahid, who spent months perfecting a scratch-made momo dough to bring the comfort food staple of their NYC childhoods to Western New York. The menu centers on hearty, hand-folded momos — distinct from dumplings for their thicker, scratch-made wrappers and meal-sized portions — with fan favorite fillings like Butter Chicken, Thai Green Curry, and Chaat, alongside indulgent float-style bubble teas layered with milk tea and a scoop of ice cream in flavors like Matcha Strawberry and Humi Mango. Open Monday through Thursday from noon to 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday from noon to 11:00 PM, Sarnia is a community-first dining destination on Amherst Street that is bringing a truly one-of-a-kind flavor to the greater Buffalo food scene.
