Nice Place . Good Simple vegetarian indian Food. Puris were a little hard and brittle by the time we came home.
Courteous and Friendly Staff.
Courteous and Friendly Staff.
Food is good, but service can be poor, and portions are smaller. They can do better.
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...read full review

Samosa House - West Culver City offers a unique and flavorful Indian dining experience that stands out from typical Indian restaurants. Unlike the usual tikka masala or vindaloo, this restaurant encourages guests to explore more complex regional dishes, including a variety of Southern Indian options like Dosas. Highlights include the madala dosage and chana bhatura, which many describe as rich, flavorful, and some of the best fried bread they have ever had. The menu features dishes that reflect authentic Indian flavors, with some reviewers noting the food tastes like a rich beef chili, despite being chickpeas.
The restaurant also serves popular items such as pav bhaji and chaat, with the pav bhaji being very similar to what is found in India. Samosas are fresh, well-filled, and not too oily, accompanied by mildly sweet red sauce and green sauce. The food is considered good value, with a typical meal costing around $33 for a combination of samosas, curry, rice, and panipuri. Many appreciate the variety of Indian groceries available in the store, including imported candies and sodas, making it a great spot for both dining and shopping.
While the seating is basic and resembles cafeteria style, the quality of food and friendly staff make up for it. Some recent visits noted a decline in ambiance and service, but overall, Samosa House remains a favorite for authentic Indian dishes, rich flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s a highly recommended spot for those looking to try something new and enjoy Indian cuisine in West Culver City.
