Indian Appetizers

Vegetable Samosa

$5.99

Crisp pastry filled with spiced potatoes and peas for a savory bite.

“We ordered the chicken tikka masala, lamb saag, garlic naan, rice, samosas and mango lassis. Everything was tasty. I especially loved the lamb saag. It was the perfect amount of spicy with large chunks of lamb and the saag was creamy but not so creamy you miss the spinach. The garlic naan was huge! We ordered 4 and probably could have done with 2. The mango lassi was a hit for everyone. Staff was friendly and we got our food quickly. It was the perfect dinner to warm us up on a chilly evening.”
