Sambusaks, also known as samosas, are a common Middle Eastern snack and appetizer. They are small pastries that are fried and filled with a variety of savory fillings, such as chickpeas, potatoes, or meat. Sambusaks are popular all year round, but they are often associated with Ramadan, the Muslim holy month. During Ramadan, Muslims break their fast with a variety of delicious foods, and sambusaks are frequently served along with other appetizers and beverages.
