Solid place to stop by for some Indian snacks and sweets. The wait time can and has taken over 30 minutes if the line reaches near the door. The selection can be quite overwhelming and intimidating as well for someone not too knowledgeable to the cuisine as they are not individually labelled. However, the staff taking my order was able to answer my question every time. Though they are not the most friendly, they get down to business so the line keeps moving. Like others have mentioned, their samosas have been disappointing compared to a few years ago. There's a noticeable increase in dough to filling ratio. It's hard to complain given it's 5 samosas for $1 but I will most likely skip it for future purchases and opt for the oh so delicious smaller vadas (4 for $1). Incredibly crispy and fragrant on the outside with a soft dough center. Their laddus are not too bad either. Not the best in Toronto but still a good snack to pick up, especially if you find the barfi and gulab jamun too sweet.

Terrible service but cheap food for reasonable quality. Food: 4/5 Wait time: 1/5 Service: 1/5 Cost: 5/5 First off, the food is good, but don’t expect the best quality. You pay for what you get. I absolutely love the samosas. They’re 5 for $1, which is a steal. It doesn’t have a great deal of filling, but the filling is delicious. I also got some mithai which was pretty good too. The selection they have is endless. On to the downsides of this place: 1. Terrible service. They are rude and impatient. If you’re here for the first time, think quickly about what you want. The people working here hate if you faff about. Even though it wasn’t my fault that I didn’t know what the sweets were called and how much they cost, the lady was rude and additionally, really unhelpful when I asked for suggestions and recommendations since it was a gift for someone. I had to rely on their really polite and patient customers to help me out. Would you believe that? Their paying customers are helping Samosa King’s employees do their job. 2. The reason they’re probably impatient is because there is a MASSIVE lineup. Which could be solved if they had more than 2 or 3 people working the storefront at a time, and more than 1 cash register. I can’t believe how inefficient this place is, to the point where it is disrespectful to their customers that they pass their stress of the long lineup on to the customers for not knowing how to order. You could be in line waiting for 20 minutes for a simple order of 5 samosas. I had requested that my samosas be placed in paper bags to make it easy to carry home. Instead they placed it in a giant box and refused to repackage it for me due to the long lineup. That’s fair, I didn’t want to keep others waiting, but they could have packaged it correctly the first time instead. They just tossed some paper bags my way instead and said I could package it myself. Overall, the food was good, and I would come back solely for the food. But there are also other places with good food and better service, so Samosa King needs to step up their game. Everything else was a terrible experience, which is why I docked two stars.

One of my worst day visit this samosa king place. 1st time I went to buy food specially Thanksgiving day. But I got worse stress experience. I went so many place to buy chicken biryani. But this is the 1st time got chicken biryani like just rice chicken curry on top boiled egg. I don't think so this call chicken biryani. Also I asked them side order curry. Side order container quality very cheap. I asked them put in pepper bag then put in carryout bag. But they said brown paper bag is charged. It's 1st time I heard. From the store when I bring to home all the curry spill out. Also worse customer service. I thought 2day the 1st time worse time to spend $ and time. I was very upset angry and stress too. I'm telling others waste of time and money to go this place. Even I don't want to give any star. When I ask them some questions even ladies or gentlemen on cashier don't know how to talk with customers. Good bye for ever...😡💔😖

Known for its economical samosas and various other indian foods, i visited here. It was much hyped as the samosas were bland and were too spicy. samosas should be made neutral with an option for the eater to add spice or sweetness with chutneys but it seemed these samosa were sprinkled with chilli powder. next comes other indian curries and breads. we tried few non vegetarian and vegetarian food items. taste is ok but the quantity is too low, either u increase the price and provide sufficient quantity but dont say that price is low and provide were small quantity, basically the price is low and quantity is less. the large quantity there is a minimum requirement for a low appetite person but for a person with big appetite should need double large quantity. It is a normal one time visit shop. Parking is available nearby. PLEASE NOTE: Only Debit cards or Cash is acceptable here

Very rude customer service both on phone and in person. On phone hardly the store person spoke for a minute refused to help taking order on call and simply hung up saying, “it’s not a big order and don’t waste my time”. When I walk-in the store I asked if these are the only spring roll you have? It was a wheatist clean shaved man. Rudely saying we have 10,000 in the back store and couldn’t even give me 75 rolls. And was rushing asking what else you want. Even though the store was not much busy. This man was rude on phone as well as in person. This was my first time and indeed the last time at this store. Be it a big order or a small order this store must teach their employees that it is not samosa who is the king but the customer is the king. Atleast, teach your employee some manners some basic mannerisms on communication.

My family has been going here for at least a decade, and sadly, the samosas have gone down in quality by quite a lot. You used to be able to get 5 veg for $1, then down to 4 for $1. Now, it's gone down to 3 for $1. When they went from 5 to 4, the quality remained the same and the samosas were still great and very worth it, however, with the drop to 3, the quality has also dropped as well. The samosas are noticibly smaller, as well, they've changed the filling, and it's not the same great taste, it's actually quite bland. Unfortunately , my family won't be returning, as it's no longer worth the trek out for this quality, but they probably won't notice as they are still super busy, with lineups to the back to the store. It's unfortunate, but I wish them the best and that they go back to their former high quality.
