Read morethe samosas at Kumar Samosa Wala. The menu boasts an impressive variety of fillings, and I had the opportunity to try several of them. The standout options were the pasta, chowmein, macaroni, and aloo samosas.
The pasta samosa was a delightful fusion of Indian and Italian flavors. The crisp outer layer of the samosa paired perfectly with the cheesy pasta filling, creating a unique and delicious combination. The chowmein samosa was equally impressive, with a medley of vegetables and noodles encased in a crispy shell. It was a delightful twist on the traditional samosa.
The macaroni samosa was a personal favorite. The creamy and cheesy macaroni filling was perfectly seasoned, and the texture contrast between the soft filling and the crispy exterior was truly satisfying. Of course, the classic aloo samosa was also outstanding, with a well-seasoned potato filling that had just the right amount of spice.
Overall Experience: My experience at Kumar Samosa Wala was exceptional. The diverse range of fillings provided a refreshing twist on the traditional samosa, and each variation was executed with precision.

Read moreThe samosas were decent. Not the best taste as one would come expecting here but certainly nothing too bad. The owners are really nice and polite people. Staff is well trained to deal with lot of customers at once. The main reason for our visit though was the pizza samosa which was out of stock due to high demand. This was really heartbreaking. Anyway we settled for other options -
Samosas - We bought white pasta, chaanp and paneer keema samosa and as I said they were good. Not the best but good. Don't expect the pasta samosa to contain corn or broccoli or something else. Its just plain macaroni in white/red sauce. Chaanp and paneer ones could've been tastier. They need to work on their mix a little bit. But overall a great experience as the samosas were served hot.
Other snacks - If you're that desi kathi roll lover. I could tell by the looks of it that they were tasty. These snacks are the same as your...
