where to get good/spicy samosa
 

im craving some spicy indian samosas anyone know any good places to get somes either really good spicy ones or just plain good? and perferbly in van and cheap-ish?

ALSO NEEDS THAT SWEET CHUTNEY SAUCE! :D

Hardwar Sweets on Fraser and 51stish (might be further, I usually just drive there and look for the sign.. its opposite blockbuster), I always get it from them for events I put on and people are always loving them.

I can't remember how much they are exactly but I recall getting 50 for $12 usually but I could be wrong.

they are really good actually, the best samosas have ever had are form Calgary Sweets in Surrey man they are killer lots of spices and full of flavour. We sometimes get them when we have guests over

there is one store besides churches fried chicken on 41st and fraser... it is a fairly small store. .but they make good samosas there

They all seem to look/taste the same ahha.

I do like the ones at the Deli at UBC tho. It's different.

got a address?

CALGARY SWEETS
7928 128 Street 113, Surrey, BC V3W4E8
(604) 591-9955

ask the surrey people
a dollar for 3 samosas
great deal and damn they are good

is it the blockbuster thats near the old td bank which turned into the cibc bank i think?

I think so, it's just east of 49th ave on Fraser St (which is how I always identify it).

dude, try danny's market in francis rd. have it with this thing they call screamers. its like an ice cream slurpee but better. great samosaS!

calgaray sweets sucks ass, so o greasy and thick nasty crust. Meh Iranian people make the best samosas...nice thin crust with awesome filling...mmmmm soooo good!

its 50 for 15$ haha i just bought them, and well.. their ok i guess i hope its not 50 of the same kind because all it is is potato on the ifrst 2 i ate haha and well i was hopeing for some peas nad crap

agreed, this is a great little place

Tried a screamer last week from Danny's Market and it tasted pretty good. It sucks at the start so you gotta make sure you get it all mixed up

zeenaz restaurant on marine drive & main street is pretty darn good also

Went to Calgary Sweets based on this thread. 45 cents each, so 15 for 6.75$ with some red sauce. They only have vegitarian. Tasty! A bit greasy, but they were still warm from being cooked, yum. Too spicy for me. Typical white person, I think it'd be good with ranch or tzatziki :)

I live near Hardawar, so Ive tried a few. Hardawar has a good crust (usually), but their filling is a little plain (but not oily, so that's good). Tandoori Nights has good filling in their Samosas, but the crust is a touch thick.

I kinda like the samosa and channa at the himalaya. There food is nothing great (kinda dirty really), but their samosas are good when you dip them in the channa, and eat it with the onions.

Note: I am only referring to *veg* samosas, since I don't dine on swine (or beef or chicken).

hardawar are preety oily, the fillign sucks, its sooo plain.. i was expecting maybe mroe spicy and some peas

Yeah, once I had a batch that was too oily. Maybe the oil wasn't hot enough or the samosas sat too long. I haven't had any more there since. I need to lay off the fried shit.

Quality varies sometimes. One time I got some fresh pakoras from tandoori nights that were good, but once I ordered some and they came overcooked and soaking in oil... what are you going to do.

2 places that I've had good experiences at are House of Dosas (kingsway and knight) and Nooru Mahal (Fraser and 23rd?). They are both sri-lankan, and are both excellent for quality and consistency. I think nooru mahal uses a little msg, but I haven't gotten a hint of any at house of dosas (I get a funny reaction to the stuff sometimes). Both places make *excellent dosa (an indian crepe). Nooru Mahal makes it a bit thinner (which is better), however HOD has better sambar and Mango Lassi. Also, the Thali (dinner set) at HOD is excellent, both meat and veg.

For more punjabi type foor, I would recomment Tandoori King (Fraser and marine), as well as rubina (but they are pricey tho. Also their tandoori chicken is somewhat dry... a big no-no). Just down the road is a place called The Tandoori Chat House (I think that's what it's called). I've been there once, food was good. My wife's cousins (he's white, she's east indian) are *seriously* wealthy, but when they cater a party, they have the Chat House do it. I think that says something about their quality and consistency.

anyone know if samosa's are still around the same price or have gone up drastically?

Curry Express at Landsdowne in Richmond
=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

3 for a buck is the standard price for most shops. It use to be 4 or 5 for a buck back in the day.

I would like to know where to get good samosas.

Seeing as this thread id like 3 years old.

I go to a place always on 72nd right where the old liqour store was kinda next to COD lovers. There chicken samosas are fricken awesome so so good.
