Samosa Singh Review | Electronic City| Bangalore
12:44
Nowadays is the age of start-ups where every other day, some
new enterprise/ establishment is born. Some of these have clear and defined
visions and some of these are just the strong dreams/will of the youth.
So, we recently tried out a “start-up” which is very unique
and deserves a lot of praise.
There is one question we want to ask before we continue: Do
you love Samosas?
If the answer to this question is yes, then you should
definitely read on. If not, this write up can try to at least make you like it
;)
So, the Samosa joint which we are talking about is named
Samosa Singh, and it has a very interesting logo as well. It is located in
Neeladri Nagar, in electronic city phase 1.
But it is not the logo or the ambiance which wins the heart
of their customers—it is the variety, taste and the value for money of their
samosas!
The ambiance of the joint is quite good, considering they
have an entire history of samosa hung on their walls and also the way samosa is
pronounced is almost all languages of the world. They have stuck to the rounded
triangle theme to the very core—including the seating arrangement!
Now coming down to the food they serve:
There offer a large variety of samosas and they come up with
new variations every now and then. We tried the choco-caramel, choco- peanut
butter, pineapple delight, masala kaju, red tangy pasta, egg crumble, Chinese
Manchurian, ginger paneer, kadai paneer, classic aloo, veggie spice and a
samosa chat with kadai paneer as the base. These items which we have just
mentioned are not just items; they are the core ingredients of the samosas!
Isn’t that something new? Plus, we did not find even a trace of oil on the
samosas and not even on our fingers!
The choco-caramel samosa was very different in taste. It was
crunchy on the outside and had molten chocolate on the inside. The molten
chocolate filling has caramel in the middle and it gives a soft and delightful
touch to every bite. The chocolate sauce over the samosa was also very different,
in the sense that it had the right amount of sweetness and was not very strong
aroma wise. This samosa was something we tasted for the first time and we sure
loved it!
The choco-peanut butter was similar to the choco caramel on
the outside, but inside there was peanut butter fused with chocolate and it
also had real peanuts which lend a very good crunch is almost every bite.
The pineapple delight was unique in its own way! It had
sprinkled icing sugar on top and was served with pineapple pulp chutney which
was delicious. The samosa was full of sliced pineapple. The pineapple pieces
were slightly spiced in order to dehydrate them and this pineapple stuffing,
the icing sugar and the chutney created a fabulous balance!
The masala kaju samosas are bite sized samosas with real
cashew filling and that too loads of it! The cashews were spiced and roasted
and it would taste great with hot beverages like tea/coffee. This along with
the shahi khoya is sold in separate boxes of 250g and 500g each respectively. The
shahi khoya is a sweet samosa with a very tasty filling of coconut and khoya.
The mixture and the outer covering both are sweet, but in the right balance.
The red tangy pasta was something we felt that has room for
improvement. The filling was ample, with pasta and capsicum in red sauce.
Unfortunately, the outer covering of the samosa absorbed some of the moisture
making it a bit dry. Taste wise, it was very good and very different like the
others, but a bit more of the sauce in the filling would do the trick!
The egg crumble samosa was very big and it had a lot of
filling. The scrambled egg filling was not just plain, but spiced and had a
sweet after taste.
The Chinese Manchurian was a very good preparation. It had
noodles with vegetables and a mixed vegetable Manchurian as its filling. The
balance was right and it did not taste dry at all. The overall combination is
very good but it is quite difficult adjusting all the filling inside a samosa
in equal proportions.
The ginger paneer was simple and one can sense the zing of
ginger with every bite of the samosa. The paneer comes in the form of bhurji
and the quantity is ample! The paneer mixture is cooked with onions and spices
and is very tasty.
We ordered a couple of dips—cheesy jalapeno and mint mayonnaise.
The mayo was normal, nothing so special, but the cheesy jalapeno dip was
extraordinary. It tasted spectacular with the paneer samosas. The sharp taste
of jalapenos and the cheese jelled really well!
We also tried a couple of drinks—mint cola and lemon iced
tea. The lemon iced tea was standard and quite refreshing, whereas the mint
cola was even better! It had a lot of mint leaves with cola and was a good
palate cleanser.
We tried the classic aloo samosa which is available
everywhere. The only difference is that here you won’t a trace of oil as
mentioned. The aloo filling is cooked with garam masala and tastes like the
authentic samosa. The roasted peanuts add a good crunch to it as well.
The kadai paneer preparation was similar to the others in
greatness. The quantity of paneer was very generous. The filling was properly
cooked kadai paneer and it was very tasty. Along with the paneer onions and
capsicums were present.
Last, but not the least—the veggie spice samosa was quite
spicy. It had a variety of vegetables as its filling as the name suggests.
The samosa chat we had had kadai paneer as its base. Curd,
pomegranate seeds, chick peas and sev were the main ingredients in the chat
apart from the samosa. Everything blended really well and the preparation was
quite filling. The sharp taste of curd, blunt taste of chick pea and the
sweetness of the pomegranate seeds gave a very good balance and it was quite
impressive.
Overall, the place might be small in size, but the ambiance
is quite good. The setup is quite fun and appealing. Their pricing is very
reasonable and what they serve is tasty and different.
Moreover, they introduce pocket friendly offers such as samosa platters from time to time which contain 4 samosas of different variety + a free dip.

Now for the scores:
Food/Taste: - 4/5
Ambiance: - 3.5/5
Service: - self service
Quantity: - 4/5
So, this is a joint worth reordering from and revisiting.
They offer such a simple preparation with so many variations and twists that
will surely excite you.
Hope this review helps a fellow foodie in the quest for new
and exciting varieties of food!
Till next time—bon appétit!
