About Samosa
A samosa is a fried pastry, usually triangle shaped, filled with spiced potato and peas. It is one of the best known Indian snacks anywhere, sold from street carts, sweet shops and restaurants.
Regional versions
Punjabi samosas are large, with a thick, crisp crust. Smaller samosas with a thin pastry are common in Gujarat, Bengal and Hyderabad, where they are often filled with onion or minced meat. Keema samosas are a restaurant favorite abroad.
What to order with it
Eat them with tamarind chutney and green chutney, or turn them into samosa chaat. A masala chai is the classic partner.

How this list is made
We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.
