Customer Review Summary
Veg samosas draw repeat praise, though one reviewer notes the pastry recipe changed and no longer has the crispness it once did. Aloo paratha and papri chaat are called decent, and sweets get mentioned favorably too. Several flag slow service and unanswered phones, and one reviewer describes feeling unwelcome across three visits, including when a family member picked up food.

“The Samosas USED to be world famous. The pastry used to be crispy and complimented the fillings & chutney. Now they have changed the pastry to copy triple S caterers and it is not good. They need to being back the ORIGINAL PASTRY. Then it would be original 5 star Samosas 👍🏼”

“I always order the veg samosas it never disappoints me. The only downside is the service sometimes too slow, they need to answer the phone aswell. Aloo paratha is decent and so is the papri chaat. You cant go wrong.”
