Growing up, my sisters and I would call this place samosa shop! Our Baba would take us here so often that the staff had become familiar with us. When our Mama was hospitalised for a year, our trips here became more frequent since our full time working father often did not have the time to cook after work. We would eat in the shop and always ask for extra chutney! We must have looked like a real sight - three little girls, 9, 6 and 4 years old, all stood in a line at the tables, not even tall enough to reach the counters, still in school uniform. And we would chomp those samosas down! Even today, just one bite of their delicious hot veggie samosas and one slurp of their chutney will take me all the way back to my childhood. Food is such a powerful thing, it can even act as a time machine! As young girls who were living without their mother, this was one of only things we looked forward to. We never got sick of them. Fast forward a couple of years. During high school, I absolutely hated PE so Iād get my Baba to write me a note saying I had a ādentist appointmentā during my PE lessons which were always on a Wednesday afternoon. Heād pick me up and weād go to āsamosa shopā and have lunch and then come back after 3:15pm to my unsuspecting Mother! My Father would pretend heād just picked me up from school. What a time! Those were the good old days when their samosas were still 40 pence a piece. Iām married now, and have moved out, but every time I come home, I ask my Baba to get me some veggie samosas and extra chutney. Iām too old to eat them in the shop now, so heāll bring them home and weāll eat them together. Prices have increased here, just as they have everywhere. Still worth every penny though! Thereās magical time travelling properties in their hot pastry stuffed with soft, spicy potatoes and peas. I hope they never change their recipe. My daughter has to try these too. As soon as she...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreVery rude service. No hello. No smile. In asking for menu the young not shaven few days in disheveled attire point to the screen with smirk but it was of. No sorry or be will put it on. I wait patiently and see a notice on the counter about a substance good for immune strength. It was I think "Alsi". I ask him and he says at first something with great effort in low volume. I cannot comprehend. I ask if I may see what this is. He didn't budge In very surprised. I'm the only customer in the place A nice middle aged man came and kidney showed me on an item and picked up a paper " basil seeds" on a bakery item. I thanked him for this and told him his colleague seen to take exception to help me understand. The young man then became hostile impolite and rude being argumentative I was shocked I apologise for the trouble to him and just walked off in peace. Very surreal place. Maybe great for locals and not nice to a new nonlocal! I don't advise to go here. Zero experience. If they tasted me nice I was looking to buy a couple kilo of sweets. Their loss not mine. I found a better place...
