Where's The Beef?
Blair ordered the beef kebob entree and really enjoyed it; saying the beef was perfectly cooked. There was also a good amount and the salad and pita complimented the plate quite well.
And don’t even think about skipping dessert. As the name suggests, SaSa is just as serious about their sweets. You’ll find a mouthwatering selection of homemade baklava, cookies, and other Middle Eastern treats that make it hard to choose just one. (Pro tip: don’t.)
