Samosa House

The first time I went here, I thought it was mediocre. See my review for Tandoor A India in Playa, if you want to know where I get my Indian food orgasm on. So, everywhere else is kind of a let down.

The combo is not that cheap... I think it's about $8 now... and portions are not that generous. The samosas are large, but not that flavorful and the chutneys are runny with a weird burnt taste in the tamarind one. But you know what, apples to oranges, my friend. This place has it's own merits.

It's fast! It's on my way home. It's got an ever changing variety of dishes. Yes, the jackfruit is all you've heard it is. I mean, it's not a meat substitute in MY opinion, unless you happen to think artichoke is a meat substitute. But it's delightfully flavored and really tasty. What made me come back is that the dishes have a homemade, authentic quality and the absence of meat and heavy cream sauces makes me think it's healthier and I can eat this more frequently.

Samosa House redefined Indian food for me. Their samosa cha (sic) is simply insane, a meal in itself. And if more people knew about jack fruit, we wouldn't have a beef industry. They have a great lunch combo meal for something like $6.95 with naan and three dishes. It's all vegetarian and that's all good with me. The vibe in there is totally casual, a notch below casual - you sit at tables in the middle of a market. Plus it's right down the street from the DMV. So next time you need to visit that fabulous place, nourish yourself beforehand at Samosa House.

Samosa House blows people's minds. All veggie and all good. My brother's a meat lover, yet every time he comes to the Westside, he wants to hit Samosa House. The Chef trained at 5 star restaurant in New Deli and makes dishes with amazing flavor and complexity. The dinner combo costs $6.99 and comes with 3 items, rice, yogurt and 2 breads. Try their Jackfruit dish, unique meaty and wonderfully satisfying. Most of all, everything here at this family run restaurant is made with love. You can't go wrong.
