Sahm Things Move, Sahm Things Stay

Ed Sahm of Sahm's Restaurants.

Ed Sahm, the successful owner of all six and counting Sahm’s Restaurant locations, has shared a genuine passion for great food since his childhood. It wasn’t really until High School after carefully observing his grandmother, Ed started “experimenting” with different recipes and dishes.

He has worked in a restaurant since he was sixteen and acquired the knack to cook for his family of eight brothers and sisters in his spare time.

Ed attended Purdue University and eventually majored in what is known today as Hotel and Restaurant Management. He went on to become a restaurant owner just one year out of college. Since its opening in 1986, Sahm’s Restaurant has been consistently delicious and never outdated. Its décor is modern and chic with a very welcoming atmosphere to compliment the homemade cooking that many regulars have come to enjoy over the years.

Although their location has moved across the street from the corner of 116th and Allisonville, the restaurant still remains conveniently located for food-lovers. The smoke-free environment is more inviting and healthier all around. Sahm’s seems to have it all; excellent timing, excellent service, and, to top it off, great food.

Sahm’s delivers American cuisine like very few restaurants do. It is a local favorite for many reasons, some obvious, while others are more subtle and get better with time. Besides the same stained glass window panes, the environment has become more engaging with a separate, yet not completely closed off dining room and bar. Sahm’s creates every dish from scratch, from the bread, to their soups. Besides the main courses, don’t forget the side dishes, which are so good!

Taste is certainly the focal point of every dish. Must haves include: strip steaks, soups of the day, pastas of the day, anything stir fry, and of course, last, but certainly the most important, the sour cream coffee cake. Although the steaks may not completely melt in your mouth, the taste for the price you pay is unbeatable. The seating area has slightly shrank from 195 seats to 155, but Friday lunch hour is just as packed as a typical Saturday night. That’s a very good sign in terms of the quality and of course, the longevity of such a restaurant.

Sahm’s Restaurant offers a broad menu, served with a personal and caring touch. When it’s time to really eat, you can’t beat Sahm’s because there is no better place in the greater Indianapolis area that offers great food at such great value.
