| - Due to all the positive reviews, I've had this place bookmarked for a while because I thought, next time I'm in East Mississauga, I'll pop in and try the beef samosas.
I'll be honest, I was disappointed when I walked in. Their website made it appear as if there would be many "savory" items to choose from; however, there was a very small menu above the cash with some items not even indicating the price. I felt like the lady behind the counter was pushing me to make a decision. Anyway, I ordered six beef samosas and asked about the butter chicken. Contrary to a couple of Yelp reviews, they DO NOT serve white meat; it's a mix of white and dark - I passed. I asked about the tandoori chicken and I was told it's all dark meat, same with the chicken biryani ... I just decided to stick with the samosas.
I must have waited about 15 minutes for them and, when she brought them out, they were just thrown in a little brown bag, no sauce, nothing. By that time, my husband had texted me to just buy the biryani so I asked her if I would have to wait a long time. She indicated that the biryani was ready and went to the back and came back about five minutes later. I asked about sauce for the samosas and she obviously pretended that she forgot and just gave me a big container of tamarind sauce. The samosas came to around $5.50 (cash only) and the biryani was $6.50; albeit the sign said $6.00 - F*&K.
OK so here's the verdict on the food:
Beef samosas - probably some of the best I've even eaten. Very spicy and, surprisingly, they did not skimp on the meat. They reminded me of when I was growing up eating my mom's East African friend, Fatima's samosas.
Chicken biryani - COLD! No kidding, it was served cold like it came out of the fridge. WTF! There were a couple of big pieces of some nasty chicken legs (which we discarded). My husband heated it up and raved about how good it was and that it reminded him of Karachi Kitchen in Brampton. I personally didn't want to eat it because I wondered about the freshness, given the fact it was COLD. I did, however, tried it later on and it was shockingly delicious. The only thing was that I wished it was a little less oily but still, nonetheless, very tasty.
Had the experience at the store been better such as not being charged more than advertised and the cold rice, I would have given it 5/5. I do plan to return for samosas when it's my turn to bring treats to the office but I do plan to call her out on the cold biryani. Like really ...
