Samosa Fusion and Sweets — Restaurant in Clarington

LONG POST ALERT!!!! STOP RIGHT AWAY IF YOU ARE HERE SEEING THE INSTAGRAM REEL OF 20$ BUFFET.

To start with we entered and nobody attended us, wasn’t sure if we should wait to be seated or just directly take the tables. Then a girl in hijab attended us, she clearly looked tired and overworked who handed us the plates.

Starters: Vada- 0/10. Break pakora - 0/10(burnt,hard to chew and hardly any potato filling) Potato coconut balls- 4/10(honestly no taste) Samosa: store bought ready to eat samosas. Spring roll: 5/10. Fries: I make better McCain fries in my air frier.

Mains All the pans were empty by the time we went for meat section , it was just the gravy and no one bothered to refill it. I still tried one leftover chicken piece from chicken chilly pan and it had a weird smell as if it was almost about to go bad. The gravies were extremely tangy(paneer masala) and butter chicken(extremely salty) even after pairing it with naan and rice.

ALSO I AM GUESSING THESE NAMES AS THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE DISH NAME LABELS.

Noodles : Decent

Desserts Vanilla / Chocolate Ice-cream : it was from a grocery store, like the one we get a big bucket for 5$ in Walmart, extremely poor quality.

Cookies and Banana bread( I guess because it did not have any taste for me to understand what bread it was!!!) was a JOKE! More like,” if you have strong teeth test” hard to chew.

Marble cake : decent.

Also the place was extremely unhygienic especially near the deserts as flies were hovering and all of the dishes were kept open. (Photos attached)

This is a genuine feedback to not waste your money on their so called “ limited time lucrative 20$ buffet”

WORST INDIAN BUFFET I EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE...

Went for a take out order and as we were having guest come over we asked the wait time before placing order on appx time to get total of 5-6 pcs samosa (including per pc and in samosa chaat) along with 4pcs aloo tiki and aloo chat, was told 10-15 mins appx that’s why we ordered.

We paid and waited in our car.

15 -20 mins later my husband went back inside and got our samosa and was told there’s no aloo tiki so we requested to get our money back for aloo tiki cancellation. She said she’s not sure if she can do that!!!😡Then thr girl went inside the kitchen and no one came back outside for a while and ANOTHER 20 mins later they gave us the aloo tikis and chat as per original order instead of refund.

1st of all that was BIG WASTE OF TIME that we did not have especially when we first asked about total time before placing any order.

2nd the tikis were SO BADLY fried that it was falling apart from outside layer as we were taking out of brown paper bag it was packed in.

The staff has absolutely no management / communication skills from the start/finish even though it did not have more than one another customer apart from us.

If their SAMOSA is supposed to be their specialty as per the business name- we expected for at least that to be MADE IN HOUSE but have nothing more BUT DISAPPOINTMENT with over all experience!

We’ll...

This is my second time eating here and first time reviewing.

My first visit happened when Samosa Fusion was brand new in town, I did not have a good or bad experience. It was underwhelming. Today, I decided to give it another try because the restaurant I would have likely ordered from was closed. It was a very pleasant surprise!

Today’s experience was very positive. I picked up and the food was nice and hot and the portion sizes were fair. The samosas are large. I would almost be willing to say a little too large, however, the filling is flavourful. It is seasoned with a good level of spice and super plentiful. The naan is good and I thought the thickness was right. The only critique was that there was no garlic free option.

The biryani was tasty, there was a mix of light and dark meat. There was also a whole egg! There were pomegranate seeds which added a lovely pop of bright freshness. I would recommend it.

The chana masala was the star of the show. It was absolutely delicious. The chick peas were tender and perfectly cooked. I had selected the “hot” option and it was not at all too hot, but just right for a slight heat with amazing flavour. What a knockout vegetarian dish, order it! Now!

All of the sides and chutneys that came with the meal were generous and tasty. I’m glad I gave this place...
