Jubba Internet Cafe

Jubba Internet Cafe opened about a week ago at 17 Veranda Street, between Supper at Six and Beals Ice Cream. Of all the East African restaurants in Portland, this Internet coffee shop/caffe might have the best sambusa–and not just during Ramadan. The crispy, triangular pastry shell is fried and stuffed with ground beef, onions, cumin, salt, hot pepper, and maybe a hint of cardamom. In addition to the inexpensive finger food for the early afternoon, they also have a full menu for lunch and dinner–with goat, beef, and spaghetti.
