Sambousek is a fried pastry with a savoury filling of cheese, meat, or vegetables. Similarly to the South Asian samosa and the Greek spanakopita, it may be shaped in different ways including triangular cones or packages and half-moon shapes. Usually enjoyed as a starter, snack, or side dish, they are often served with a dipping sauce of some kind. They are perhaps one of the most popular snacks for Ramadan.
