If you order the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Samosa\">sambusas<\/a>, make sure you ask for the dipping sauce, makes a big difference. In general ask if the breakfast dishes are available, often they are. I am told they have a lunch buffet but only Monday through Wednesday. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3023\" style=\"width: 446px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Saba_2014_08_03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3023\" src=\"http:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Saba_2014_08_03.jpg\" alt=\"Saba Yogurt Soup\" title=\"Saba Yogurt Soup\" width=\"436\" height=\"282\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Saba_2014_08_03.jpg 436w, https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Saba_2014_08_03-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3023\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Saba Yogurt Soup<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The photo is of a quite good yogurt soup, note some of the portions here are quite large, not a complaint but plan accordingly.
