Overall, I thought the sambusas were good. The pastry was crispy and the filling was flavorful. However, I would have liked the filling to be a bit more spicy.

The sambusas were good, but I found the filling to be a bit bland. I would add more spices next time.

These sambusas were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

Delicious! The sambusas were crispy and flavorful. I served them with a side of yogurt sauce and they were perfect.

The sambusas were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt to the filling.

I've never had Somali food before, but this recipe was a great introduction. The sambusas were so flavorful and the pastry was perfectly crispy. I especially liked the dipping sauce.
