Samosas (2 pcs)
A samosa is a popular savoury snack that originated in the Indian subcontinent but has gained widespread popularity across various cuisines and cultures. It is a deep-fried that typically features a crisp, triangular-shaped outer shell made from a mixture of flour, oil, and water. The filling of a samosa is what truly sets it apart and makes it a delectable treat. Our filling consists of a mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, onions, and a medley of aromatic herbs and spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.

The food did not meet my expectations, especially considering the positive reviews. Perhaps it appeals more to locals who may not have a strong reference point for authentic chai and Indian snacks.

The cutest little chai shop! I want to come back again already! We got the cardamom chai (hot), brown sugar cinnamon chai (iced), paneer kati roll, bun maska, malai parantha, and a mango lassi. The cardamom chai was wonderful, not particularly strong and i got it sweetened so it was just a nice warm morning drink.
