| - The lineups can't be for their Samosas
As we were heading into Faley, a Hakka restaurant located in the same strip mall, I noticed the rather lengthy lineup for Capital Sweets and Samosas. Rather unusual for a Saturday night. As I am always on the hunt for a good Samosa, at the end of our dinner I ducked out in order to sample Capital's Samosas. Unfortunately, it's fitting that this establishments' very name places sweets first and Samosas last. As their Samosas are nothing to rave about. True, their iteration is priced at 3 for $1 but the price isn't everything. This example is a rather diminutive, leaden triangle filled entirely with a single ingredient that I could taste: potatoes. An exemplary Samosa, of which there are dozens of examples throughout the GTA, is larger filled with an equal amount of peas. And a dough that is thin and crisp. So, unfortunately, not recommended at any price.
Their Jalebis, however, a cloyingly sweet Indian street food, fare much better. Crispy, sweet and some hollow sections were filled with liquefied simple sugar is terrific.
Note that Jalebis are only one of Capital's wide offering of South Asian desserts
