Sahart's
Sahart's was a restaurant named for the founder of Shallam. Located along the Zaphar Promenade near the docks, the restaurant offered a lovely view of the river. Staffed by Nirah, the hostess, Diella, the bartender, and Shai, the head cook, the restaurant offered a bar, a takeout area, a full sit-down restaurant and dining patio, and an orchestra led by Isten, the head musician. To order food, one would simply find a room with a menu and give the correct amount of gold for a dish to one of the three waiters: Amtir, Samel, or Ankur.
Menu
Hello, and welcome to Sahart's, Shallam's fine-dining experience! We have a wide variety of meat, seafood, and salad dishes for your eating pleasure, from simple Tomaculan steak to Shallamese swordfish. Our waiters will be happy to assist you from appetizers to dessert, and we hope you enjoy the view of the river.
We also have something unique to our restaurant, a new creation our chef calls pastyl. A soft, cooked paste formed into shapes, it serves as an excellent base for our sauces and seafood dishes. Try some pastyl with shrimp or a creamy cheese sauce!
To order, just give your waiter the exact amount of gold for the dish you wish, and he or she will serve it to you still hot.
Once you order, do not attempt to leave the restaurant with your food. We know Achaeans are always on the go, but if you take a bite and then wander off, you're just going to make a mess! Sit down and enjoy your meal.
If you'd like a drink, we have an excellent selection in the bar, ranging from kawhe to shots to fine wines.
