| - I've never tasted samosas this good. Seriously.
The sign outside boasts that they have sold like a trillion samosas. I wouldn't be surprised.
Instead of using really thick doughy shells, they've opted to use phyllo-like pastry which has got to be what keeps people coming back for more. (Actually, I just read on their website, that it IS what makes their samosas special...they have patented samosa pastry!) You can imagine that it would make the samosas less heavier and a lot lighter and it does!
It's so close by that sometimes I'll just pop in for a mixed bag of 6.
There are 10 flavours including: tandoori chicken, beef, seasoned chicken, lentils, curried vegetables, steak and potato, mutton, and spinach and feta. My favourite is definitely the tandoori chicken.
And they've got 3 really tasty dipping sauces (fresh coriander with vinegar and yogurt, tangy tamarind & date, and spicy mango). Most of the time, they'll just give you a random sauce, but if you have a certain request, they always give it to you.
Just some more examples of how SOS has infiltrated my life...
I recently introduced a friend to the SOS and it has been a pre-snack trip ever since. Another friend of mine had these served at her wedding.
And my sister recently requested a batch from NYC. I brought them with me carry on.
The SOS is under "caterers" and I've seen trayfuls of their stuff leaving the store which I'm sure are where most of their trillions of numbers sold come from...but don't be deceived into thinking you can't pop in and pick some up. Whether it's 6 or 12 or plus plus (of 1 flavour or a mixed bunch), you're not going to regret it!
It's kind of in a random location, but if you have a car or just happen to be in the area, please be sure to make some room for these delicious mouth-watering nuggets. Or definitely think about picking them up if you're planning an event that requires apps. The ladies with their hair nets look mostly unimpressed but they're really sweethearts who throw in the extra one most of the time.
I heart SOS and I'm sure you will too!
