“Came here with a group of friends after someone recommended it, and honestly, it’s one of those places you might overlook at first. From the outside, it’s pretty low-key and not the most eye-catching, but once you walk in, the whole vibe changes. The staff welcomes you right away, and you can’t miss the wall full of awards—it definitely says something. The place itself is casual and not fancy, but the food and service really stand out. Everyone on the team checked in on us without being overbearing, and you can tell they work well together. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share and everything was full of flavor. Definitely recommend getting a mango lassi to balance out the spice—it came in clutch.“

“A Must-visit!! Highly recommended for some of the highest quality food and service!“

It’s always nice to find a restaurant that gets both the food and service right. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon.“

“The best Indian food outside of Uk and India !“

“I stopped by today while walking around the SMC campus, since my daughter is considering going to school there in the future. I was pleasantly surprised by the huge variety of products they carry, including both Indian and American groceries. The staff was incredibly friendly and even took the time to teach me how to make chicken masala and shared their homemade recipe with me! I really appreciated them going out of their way to help. They also sell mango lassi, which is one of my favorites, and it was delicious! I’ll definitely be coming back for the mango lassi and the amazing, friendly service.“

“💯 love this food can't ever be disappointed“

“If you are craving South Indian cuisine, Samosa house has a great Mysore masala dosa and Idly. The samosa chat is so yummy. Their gravy dishes are all vegetarian (dairy), and change daily. There is a market full of Indian products and produce as well. Then on the other side you can find cultural and religious items, and cook ware. It’s like a visit to India and everyone is very nice. They have a great chai which you sweeten yourself and a case of sweets. Lassis too! Great vibe if you want to feel transported!“

“I came across this restaurant on Instagram and noticed they offered an extensive vegan menu alongside their standard options, so I knew I had to check it out.

Indian food has always been one of my favorites, and I only recently learned that most naan isn’t vegan. So, I was genuinely excited to see vegan naan on the menu—it was definitely a highlight for me.

The food was excellent. I started with the samosas and was pleasantly surprised to find they weren’t greasy—something I’ve experienced at other restaurants. They were light, flavorful, and a great way to kick off the meal.

For the main course, I ordered the vegan garlic naan along with the Vege & Beyond Meat Kheema Parota. Both dishes were excellent—the naan was soft, flavorful, and perfectly complemented the meal, while the kheema parota was rich, and spicy.

For dessert, I ordered the vegan banana split since they had run out of the vegan brownie à la mode. As with everything else, the banana split was absolutely delicious—a perfect, satisfying way to end the meal.

I’m sure their non-vegan fare is just as delicious as my meal was, and it really seems like there’s something for everyone at this new-to-me restaurant find.“

“absolutely loved the food here. the staff was so nice and professional. will recommend to everyone and will be coming back!“

“we waited at least 30 mins after we sat down and they didn't even take our order. totally disorganized. we love Indian food and thought we would give this a go having tried Addis many times which is fantastic. 2 other groups of people walked out before we did who were also unable to place their orders. never again. 0/10.“

“When go to Famous Tandoori please try their Philly Cheese Sandwich, Zinger Burger with Fries, Chicken Tikka Roll, Chapli Kabob, Shami Kabob, Lamb Biryani on Saturday, Chicken 65, Chicken Wings, Halwa Puri on Sunday, their Beef and Chicken Samosa's are the Best and Very Tasty“

“This is my new favorite Indian restaurant ever. And I’ve been to a lot! GO HERE! The okra dish (Bhindi Fry) and the Paneer Butter Masala absolutely blew my mind. We tried the Mysore Dosa which was also incredible. Will be back. Thank god for my leftovers today.“

“The person working the till last night (Sunday) around 8:30 or so was on her AirPods talking to someone else (definitely appeared to be a personal call), which made it hard for her to hear me and hard for me to hear her. I definitely ordered naan more than once, did not get it, may have paid for it, at that point I didn’t want to ask because I knew it would be pointless and I wanted to end the interaction. I’m not sure if she answered my questions or if she was talking to the other person on the phone and either way she was speaking so incredibly quiet I was not be able to hear what she was saying either way. Honestly idc if someone is chatting to others during work hours, in fact in some ways I support it and don’t think it is an issue at all, but maybe stop for 90 seconds when a customer is there. It was just an incredibly weird experience, and it was my first time there, so a little more help would have been nice. And, again, some naan. Lol. Maybe they didn’t have it? I don’t know because I couldn’t hear a word she was saying, and it definitely felt like I was bothering her when I asked her questions or to repeat herself so I just gave up because it was so incredibly uncomfortable. She was very unwelcoming, and not even neutral, and it genuinely takes a lot for me to say that because I don’t think service people owe me cheerfulness, particularly not at the wage they’re usually paid. But this was truly exceptional, and if this was not her intent or not indicative of what she was experiencing then she needs this feedback.

Can’t review the naan, didn’t receive it lol. I didn’t care for the jackfruit but did not hate it (not to my taste, though I do like jackfruit), I liked the pakora curry, I LOVED the fake chicken dish the sauce is delicious and so rich. Definitely not enough rice for the dishes, but thankfully I was able to make some naan at home. Samosa was good and so were the pani puri though the tamarind water was a bit bland, maybe it was the savory type? I love pani puri so honestly I’m just happy to have them, but I will say the shells were a bit stale, maybe because I came late in the evening, and partly because I’ve had so many of the pani puri from Puja’s Palate at the motor Ave farmers market and those are 🤤🤤🤤.

I’ll definitely come back here, the prices are reasonable, it’s nearby, etc. but I honestly might leave to go elsewhere if I saw that person on their AirPods at the till again because it was that awkward and also I would like to get my correct order.

(Ps, make sure you’re looking at the menu for this location as the one online is for a different one, and I went there initially for pav bhaji, and wasn’t able to get it. :( I was pretty bummed lol.)“

“Very good food and service“

“Super Al Amin Halal Market is my go-to spot for fresh halal meat. I always buy my meat from here because the quality and freshness are consistently excellent, and everything is 100% Zabiha Halal. This time I picked up some lamb chops and they were beautiful—fresh, clean, and great quality. Hamza took care of me and provided excellent customer service. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for quality Zabiha Halal meat!“

“Order delivery all the time never been until tonight. All I can say is wow, clean, amazing staff and fresh hot food. Told my husband no more delivery need to get in car and go there.“

“The food and the atmosphere were great! We will definitely be back!“

“Going there again for sure, the samosa definitely sparked my interest in trying vegan Indian food. It's a buffet type restaurant with approximately 10 tables. It looks as though most people there are of all nationalities. It's very eclectic and a very nice vibe. The prices is reasonable as well“
