Review: Wow, I was fortunate enough to be treated to Samosa House tonight! You approach the counter and (order the combo plate) and tell them what you want. My friend said Jackfruit is a REQUIREMENT! Make sure to tell them you don't want sour cream!!! They'll sub Tomato soup instead. You get your tray (order a samosa on the side, they are large enough to split) and you'll be in Indian Food Heaven. I hear some people bring their own plates to avoid the Styrofoam they use there. They have a recycling bin so you could bring Preserve Plastic plates. Great place, great parking! Some yogurt dishes, but make sure to confirm a dish is vegan your first time!
PS I've had the jackfruit at Pure Luck many a time and this place does it off the chart!
Pros: Jackfruit * Parking *
Cons: Styrofoam * * |

Review: I ended up at the Samosa House on a whim, just driving by on a hungry afternoon. Since then, I have gone at least once a week for lunch, with co-workers, friends, family, and we have yet to be disappointed! The jackfruit is a MUST, and I've noticed I'm not the only one who feels that way. Their spinach pakora is a great treat, and the homemade roti is excellent. My sister has started going with her co-workers, too, and they've commented upon how great the paneer is and the puris. There's also a market on-site for mass quanitities of everything Indian (and some British), from spices to incense to cookware. The Bollywood music videos streaming from the wall-mounted TV are highly entertaining when there's a bit of a line for the buffet. This is not the place to go for "romantic dining" - this is the place to go for really, really good food. P.S. It's located about 1 block west of the DMV, on the same side of the street, in a brown building (some people have had a hard time finding it).
Pros: fresh, homemade daily * Friendly service, family-owned * 3-item combo for less than $7!
Cons: non-recyclable plates * * |

Review: Was here again in September 2007, looking for some spices and supplies. I was impressed with the stock of Indian goods - cinnamon sticks, curry spices, cloves, lentils, fresh ginger, and everything one needs to make authentic Indian cuisine at home from scratch.
The family that runs this store and cafe is very friendly and seemed like such nice people.
I didn't eat from the cafe today (I have before and thought it was all right though very spiced and spicy - reminds me of India). But I highly recommend coming here for the spices and Indian food supplies.
Pros: casual * friendly * well stocked
Cons: food a bit too spicy for me * * |

Review: I wish that I could give Samosa House a good review. The staff was very friendly and I always want to support family owned and operated businesses. But this was one of the most disappointing Indian experiences I have had. I had never met a Samosa I didn't like...until today. It was incredibly oily and there was nary a pea to be found. Just a big, greasy mass of flavorless potato. Worst of all, about 15 minutes after eating it I became incredibly sick. I don't have a weak stomach and have never become ill from a dining experience, so this was quite the shock. My recommendation? Proceed cautiously.
Pros: * *
Cons: zero ambiance * flavorless fare * potential health risk |

Review: It was great to find this place. It is hidden on Washington Blvd and Berryman in Culver City. I drive by it every day and was noticing the smell of good indian food when I had my top down in my car. Finally checked it out yesterday during lunch and wow I was not disappointed. I read some reviews online before I went to the store and can validate that there food and is service is good. I especially loved the fresh made mango lassi. I would go back and try different their different dishes as there is so much to choose from!
Pros: Tasty * Service *
Cons: * * |

Review: Once in a while I come here when I feel like having fast and spicy Indian food. Typically everyone gets the combo plate which is a decent portion. Samosas are extra for $1.50 each. The space is both restaurant and grocery store.
Pros: fast * cheap * has parking lot
Cons: sometimes too spicy * disposal dining ware * |
