Samosa King in Scarborough

I was at Samosa King with my son and had a very unusual experience. There were no visible signs indicating on which side food orders were to be placed. I was awkwardly standing for 15 mins and unsure, I had asked the lady with glasses on which side food orders were to be placed. The woman using her food duster pointed in two distinctive directions without using words to describe. I then proceed to order my food with a gentlemen that approached me. I ordered 9 samosas along with a masala tea to which the man said there is no tea and it will be ready the next day at 10am. He then proceeded to chuckle. (Laughed at me) Another man shortly after comes out with the tea. I strongly suggest going forward to the owner that if you hire staff that are not interested in meeting customers needs than the business will not be successful.

The food is good, the store is crowded. Customer service needs improvement.

Very bad customer service, I will never try again to order here.

Not that bad, but food was wonderful. The only problem with the food is it was kind of spicy.

I love their samosas

Great Samosas. Service is quick and there is a wide selection. Opens at 9 but I was there at 8:45 and they opened which was great because I was picking up an order for a work event.

Great samosa...long lineups!

This place has been around for decades. Always busy. Food is good, great place for sweets and snacks. Prices have gone up. Try their Samosas.

My husband go today the samosa king the owner is very rude. I have Business I try to be my customer always go happy to my store and the return back. he have very bad customer service

Clean place, quick service, friendly staff and great prices. What more could one ask for?

Very long line ocassionally, and they must hire more people during rush hours. Very good quality and good price.

Worth the wait! If you just want hot food and not samosas there is a separate line...

I had a very bad experience with Samosa King. Their chai tea is very hot. When you order 1 cup they don t give you cup holder. So I put chi cup in a bag they provide. Hot tea got spilled on my hand and I burnt my hand. They did not offer me any napkin or other cup, they were laughing. Very bad customer service. Another time they refused to take debit for $4 they told me minimum debit is $5 I did not have cash at that time. So they said they would charge me $5 on my debit card for $4 food !! Wow really!! This is gouging money as the total goes after tax is way up. Their food quality also gone down. And absolutely no customer service. Make sure you order 2 cup of tea as they would not give you cup holder!! And when you pay by debit for your tea they charge you $5. Good bye samosa king !!

I have been coming here since the mid-2000s and this has been amazing. Food quality still holds up and their signature samosas, and desserts are fantastic. I always do my best to come here when I am in town! If you like good Indian food, this is a great place to stop by and get some!

Bad customer service ,too rude

The food was hot tasty and affordable. Just wish they have more checkout to handle the rush of customers .

Service very slow. Waiting time is too long.

Best place to grab sweets and samosas. the price is always good. Theres a bit of a lineup because of the price and popularity. All the food has great taste, but be ready to wait for an extra 15 minutes

Just want to buy some samosas share with my vegetarian friends!! The price is good. One dollar for three samosas. Taste good too!!

The food was really fantastic. I was only able to try their snacks and tea. It was really amazing. But there are long queues for this shop.

Huge lines, slow service. Why cant you hire more people to cope with the huge number of clients? Also, find a way to speed up ur service? So many people were just leaving after getting frustrated. Just badly run business. Im never coming here again. Its not worth my time.

The person at the counter was rude. Train your employees to behave nicely to the customers.

4 stars for $4 vegetable curry that tastes like $4 curry

Smells. Poor customer service. Always ask for a receipt, theyll overcharge, and unless you have a receipt, they wont correct their own mistake. They dont use gloves, just a disgusting environment.

Good food. Fast service. The man who helped me several times is the best. He usually at the food section and can you stuff from the front like samosa and get you going. Thank you sir you are the best

My favorite place for samosa, very tasty.

If I had the option to give 0 star, i would do that. I have been a regular Samosa King customer. My son loves their samosas. For the United Way charity, I was trying to get them to sell me 5 samosas for a $1, their old rate. i tried to speak with the owner multiple times and I went on site numerous times and I left my telephone number. I was never able to speak to the owner or they never called me. Finally, today I was able to speak with the owner and he quickly shut me off. I asked if they could honor the old samosa rate for the United Way charity, the owner said we dont do charity, we only sell for 3 for a $1 and hanged up the phone. I wasnt even asking them to donate money or give it to me for free. Im fuming mad writing this review. For all those buying from this restaurant should think twice. They make tons of money selling samosas and they couldnt even give up $10-$15 for a charity.

Food is good, but have to stand in queue for a very long time. Not time efficient if you are in a hurry.

Been going for years. You cant go wrong with their Samosas. Its been the same for decades. Consistency is key.

Great samosas and great Indian sweets.

This will be the last time I come to Samosa King. Their service is bad. Especially the brown older looking Indian/ Persian looking guy. He clearly doesn t know how to provide good service. Ripped me off on my sweets box order and didn t even give the sweets I requested. I paid for 1lb sweets which was $10. They didn t even give me 1lb, it was below 1lb. After complaining to the cashier, the dark brown skin guy with glasses, nothing was done to fix the issue. After weighing my sweets and seeing it was .93 the guy did nothing to fix the issue. Just brushed it off and ripped me off. They don t care about their customers or the service they provide. Better off going somewhere else where you are valued and treated with respect. I don t know why I bother coming here in the first place. Their line-ups are extremely long and they even sold me stall old food, I notice my chicken biryani is not freshly made. It has a spoiled smell to it. Sooner than later the way they treat and rip off customers will catch up to them one day. Don t go here it s not worth it. Waste of time for bad service and food.

Best samosas!

I walked out, not buying anything, the lineup was way too long.

This is not called samosa king,it supposed to be called madu vada king..yummy madu vada

But waiting time was 45 min offffff thts too much need to work on that

Favourite, most affordable place for samosa and spring rolls. Samosa always fresh and crispy. Rice combo is also a good choice w lots of veggie curry options. The place is always busy and line up for 5 to 10 mins is normal. The colorful sweets neatly placed in the display cases add to the culture of the shop.

Horrible customer service

It s a good place to get samosas and other stuff love their kuttu roti and they get lots of customers

theres a guy there that works at the front - glasses and beard. he has a nasty attitude. he talks shit about the customers and is extremely unattractive. food is horrible too. worst customer service.. dude needs a reality check

Best indian snacks and sweet shop in Toronto.

Long lines but worth the wait.

Samosas and mithai is really good. Have not had curries. Thanks for keeping samosa and mithai reasonable and affordable. Mithai is range of prices and taste. Samosas are always fresh and warm. Vegetarian options: Samosa and mithai are good.

Go early...big lines but worth it.

3 samosas for $1.

We have tried their samosas many time , the most responsible price and crispy, yummy, I can go 100 time more

Very rude customer service both on phone and in person. On phone hardly the store person spoke for a minute refused to help taking order on call and simply hung up saying, it s not a big order and don t waste my time . When I walk-in the store I asked if these are the only spring roll you have? It was a wheatist clean shaved man. Rudely saying we have 10,000 in the back store and couldn t even give me 75 rolls. And was rushing asking what else you want. Even though the store was not much busy. This man was rude on phone as well as in person. This was my first time and indeed the last time at this store. Be it a big order or a small order this store must teach their employees that it is not samosa who is the king but the customer is the king. Atleast, teach your employee some manners some basic mannerisms on communication.

Its my weekend go to place for samusa.

The samosa were really salty this time, but the service was good and the place was very clean.

Prepare to wait a few minutes in line because they are GOOD and very pppular. Well worth the wait.

Good food and very affordable prices, you can check the prices on the menu, youll be shocked.

Not that much good, average and also there is no chutneys with it, Not satisfied.

I have been taking out Samosa and spring rolls from this place quite often. They are tasty and also good quality for such a low price. Food and sweets are ok.

Every week I take out samosas. I just can t ignore them. Their samosas and beers best combo

Not so good

They are so rude don t even know how to talk someone

Very bad service and rude workers not worth it don t visit this shitty place and the samosas are disgusting

Cheap tasty food. Long line ups and not enough people serving customers. Only one person at checkout.

The service of people working there is very rude and bad. They seems dont respect customers at all .the man standing on cashier talks very rude . Also they should hire new employeess coz it had a long que waiting and less employee to handle customers and that seems waiting for 30 mins pls take actions thankyou Also when i ordered sweets they gave me in paper bag directly not even they kept in small box or somethinb this seems weird at all cost. When i was eating sweets the paper was sticked with sweets and in the end i throw all sweets . Pls make sure this should be pack properly . Once i came there for eating i found hair in okra sabji that went mind dashing for me to eat any other thing from their store . Take legal proper action please

Food awesome, however long queues for buying food Vegetarian options: Samosa and veg spring rolls are fresh and hot Food : 4/5 |

This place should be renamed as Dough or Batter King. We tried the samosas, potato bondas and onion pakoras. All three items had about 80% batter and 20% stuffing. The potato bond as we re probably frozen from the previous days leftovers. The staff are rude and unprofessional. Despite a sign which says they accept debit cards they change as per their whims and fancies and force people to pay cash. No guesses on the tax fraud here.

Good samosas for great price

The food is good but the staff who was at cash counter is so rude, make us feel like he is giving us service for free. So bad

Well assorted, at the right price

Best Samosas around! Been coming here for 20+ years! Good food + friendly staff!

Unbelievable prices ! Easily the best value for your money in the whole country... sweets are amazing. Savories are good as well. The food is great for the price you pay..

They are very rudeee

Called the store to ask about samosas. The person over the phone was vey very rude, disrespectful and doesn t know to talk to their customers. Will never recommend this place. There are better places for better samosas.

Best snacking place in Scarborough.

the food is so so good

Extremely disrespectful service. Food subpar

Must try place for samosa and a special sweet called dodal . Dont miss these two items

Vegetarian options: Samosa, menduvada and spring rolls were cold and veggies were not good. Recommended dishes

Horrible customer service from the cashier. Bought a bunch of samosas and other items. Asked the cashier for mint chutney. As I m walking out the door I check the bag to make sure everything was there and noticed that tamarind sauce was provided instead of the mint chutney. Went back to the cashier and let him know. He argues with me and says that I should ve been watching what was put in the bag! Instead of swapping out the sauces and paying the difference he refuses to take back the incorrect item. WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN!

Cant beat the 3 for $1 Samosas and Spring rolls. Its my potluck go to! Always hot and fresh!

Amazing place to get all induan sweets. Samosas are the best

Lovely place to find some yummy food; samosas and even desserts! Price isnt to bad depending on whatcha buy! Always a go to

Excellent place for Indian finger food .. Crispy veg samosa excellent and always fresh

Always a line up but it moves quick. Samosas are always on point. Havent been disappointed yet Food : 5/5

Samosas here are usually pretty good and fresh and prices are reasonable. But today the jelabi was so stale I had to throw it out. I think the employees are trying to sell off the older batches they made, but this is how customers are lost.

The food is very bad and smells bad the guy at the store had so much attitude with zero customer service and he is feeling as if he is giving food for free as charity . He is so rude and disgusting guy

Amazing place for Indian sweet and so much other items.

I was there last year over the summer and it was so hot inside. An elderly lady was about to pass out and I asked the cashier for a cup of water plus explained what was happening to the lady. He refused to give me a cup of water. I ended up purchasing a water bottle. He was rude and extremely dismissive. Imagine if the elderly lady had passed out in the restaurant. By law restaurants are to give at least tap water if you ask. Such a disgusting experience!

I m pretty sure they ve discovered the secret to happiness. One bite of their crispy, golden creations and you ll find yourself questioning all your life choices like why didn t you come here sooner? It s like they ve wrapped joy, flavor, and a hint of magic into a perfect, portable package. Warning: May cause extreme addiction and spontaneous dance moves. If samosas were a sport, Samosa King would be the reigning champion!

When you come to Toronto you have to visit this place,it is king samosa+the delicious food and the sweet

Food is good but people mainly man working there are rude to talk, means I will rate them 2 out of 5 in customer service.

Their samosas, pakoras, and sweets are exceptional always fresh, delicious, and offered at great prices.

Food- Worst samosas. Worst mirch Pakora. Green Chatni is green due to added color and not from pudina dhaniya. Tasteless. Its super cheap and super TASTELESS No place to sit.

The cashier was very disrespectful and rude. Just his mannerism was very bad and the way he speaks to people. Horrible. Food : 2/5

Value for money. Good quality

After coming here for years, today I m disappointed. A few weeks ago, I came here and paid with my debit card for a $2 purchase. Today, a gentleman is telling me I have to buy $5 worth to pay with my debit card. Second, I ve come here in the middle of the day and bought hot spring rolls. Today, it s barely 12pm and they re ice cold. Their attitude sucks! No one seems keen on assisting and were very dismissive. After all that I have 15 I ve cold spring rolls and no offer of a refund or a reheat. Poor, piss poor service. I am truly disappointed.

Good food at relatively low cost. Service was very slow; only one person serving customers and one manning the cashier. Its a very popular outfit in general. Food

we waited for almost 20mins to get 6 samosa.....we ate when it is still hot. The quality was just disappointing us, thick pastry, not much filling, not much seasoning. only a few staff was serving, everyone had to wait long, nvr go back again

The cashier need to improve on customer service skills

Too long to get the food

Oh my god, the waitresses, they were talking in Malayalam. Extremely lacking in customer service abilities. Appears to be unfamiliar with the Canadian culture and lacks knowledge on how to communicate effectively with clients. Their responses were very disrespectful towards me and others. Replace the servers in order to reclaim your old good name . Girls please grow up

Delicious ethnic food at very reasonable prices. Be prepared for a long wait line, but its definitely worth the wait. Food

I have waited for more than 20 mins, and While I was paying that they accept only cash if its below 5 dollars. It seemed they didnt care about the people who spent their time in a queue. Its their responsibility to inform the customer and there was no ATM near by . Overall disappointed and I never wanna try anything.

This is so frustrating that they dont accept credit , why you guys even opened up? They dont know how to even talk with customers

The best samosas ever.

Visiting this place after a lapse of over 3 years for pickups at around 12:15pm. Surprised to see no long lines up to the door as in the previous time. Prices shot you by 35% and the samosas are now $1 for 3. My channa battura was not accompanied with the usual mint-onion chutney. Something drastic must have happened. Nearby, next building Datta Food advised their samosas at $1 for 5, never been there so thought of hopping in but I was blown away by the crowd inside, packed to the front doors such that I did not want to wait it out. Wondering why the switch of atmosphere between these two businesses, perhaps someone has the answers. If this low turn out of lunch time customers continues, afraid to say that Samosa King will be dethroned soon after a reign of over 4 or so decades and go into exile. This is an update: my 2nd time for pickup this year in 2024. The Chana Buthura is $4.99 for shrunken half the size of original in the years past and without any of the mint-onions chutney. Won t be going back for sure any time soon. Very disappointed with their practice of shrinkflation.

Buy a Chanasamosa The way they gave the food was very messy all the sauce was came out from the box not even one minute By the time I went inside to let them know they were ignoring me That s how they wants to make their money

Worst experience Ever! I called July 12th 2024, spoke to a gentleman. I needed 300 veggie samosas for the following day - pick up time at 6pm. Gentleman informs me its a small order and to call a few hours before and place the order. Great. I called the following day, speak with someone over the phone (i think different person than the one I spoke to prior) and they told me I have to come in to the branch, stand in line, place the order for 300 samosas and wait until the samosas are done. Are you kidding me? One of your colleagues already advised me yesterday that I can place the order over the phone a few hours prior and pick it up. The gentleman also tells me that its not a guarantee by the time your turn comes that they will be able to accomodate an order of 300 veggie samosas. I go to the restaurant, stand in a massive line and half-way I realize (through google search) that 4 minutes north there is another samosa shop (same deal) who do take orders over the phone. I call them while I am standing in line, place the order and leave embassy and swearing to never come back again. I had been going there for many years but they just lost a loyal customer.

No respect if you ask a bill after cash payment. They not hand over the bill to hand rather just throw on their table even if we keep our hand to collect. It s not a first time, after experiencing multiple times writing this review. Respect is key ethic of any business. You are failed to maintain the basic ethic. Samosa king management please open eyes and do respect your customers. Writing this review with a sadness Also, appreciate if you at least serve minimum hot samosa rather giving a cold ones.

The samosas and spring rolls are amazing. The lineup is long and expect to wait atleast 20-30 min since everyone is buying in bulk. We ordered 55 samosas and 55 spring rolls, took us about 25 minutes from the time we pulled into the parking to when we got the order. Parking is free and there is plenty but gets pretty crowded.

I tried the samosa, roll, and vada. The samosas were small and not good, and the food was not hot. Additionally, the customer service was poor. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.

Horrible customer service, the cashier called me a liar because I asked for 3 sauce and he only gave 1. I was pulling out cash to pay for it and he still was mad and arguing that I only said 1. Like bro just give me the 2 sauce and get done with it, Im paying for it regardless, is it that hard to sell me 2 sauces? The place would be great if not for the cashier. Interaction happened on July 20, 2024 at 12 pm.

It was a long line up. I think we need to have more workers during weekends. Had to wait more than half an hour .

The Food is Fantastic

Waited half an hour in line to get chicken samosa on a Saturday afternoon at 2:30pm. The business is closed at 9:00pm at night. But they are already out of chicken samosa for the day. And no one told you they were out of chicken samosa until you waited half an hour to get to the front of the line. Would not go back.

The workers here are not respectable and talks rude. Pathetic service and won t visit again.

Food quality is very good and very cheap. We tried mutton biryani and chicken thali very tasty. You get 3 samosas for 1 dollar and it is very good. The have got everyday special of three vegetables with rice at $3.99 which I must try another day as vegetables look very fresh.

Good for takeouts, got samosas and some mixed sweets, all of it was good.

Food was very bad customer service was even below zero. We bought food from them it was cold when we asked to warm it up they denied. Also they denied to return our money we left our items on their counter they didn t even shame and hesitate to keep that food for which we already paid. Very very disappointing.

Very good samsoa

Cocktail size samosas very tasteful Good prices

Worst behaviour of the employees or the store owner

I recently tried Samosa King, attracted by their low prices compared to other restaurants. Unfortunately, the quality left a lot to be desired. The curries were overly spiced, and I ended up with stomach problems. While the food is cheap, the quality is even cheaper. I wouldnt recommend it.

The price has changed nowadys 3 for one dollar. 13% increase for a samosa...? Everybody has hard time in inflation. Still thjs is not good.quality if the samosa changes time to time, i mean the filling taste The chilli spice they use for samosa not good maybe. The chilli sauce also not much good. For rhe price is still good compare to some indian stores where they charge $1 per samosa.

Food is cheap here and the attitude of the owner or casher is also cheap. Never suggest this place to anyone. I bought porotta from here it is harder than a brick

Had their meat tali and its was a worst experience. Food was not tasty and its leaked

Their prices are unbeatable and they a lot of desserts! You cant go wrong with samosa King!

I was going to give two stars for just the food but the service and the atmosphere dropped this down to one star only. Samosas have gone down in quality by quite a bit throughout the years. You are expected to pay in cash if your order is below $5, which is something you can only find out at the cashiers AFTER you have asked in line and placed your order. The service is incredibly slow. You can expect to wait in line for at least 20 minutes, even if you are only going there for samosas. The staff are even more rude. One elderly customer was voicing their complaint in a very calm manner as he waited 30 minutes, only to be met with an incredibly rude reply by the cashier. His exact words were I did not ask you to come here. Dont come here if you dont like it. You decided to come and wait and now youre telling me what you dont like? Just dont come. This is no way to talk to another person. Well I, as well as many others who heard him, decided to listen to this gentleman and will not be coming back to this establishment until they re-train their staff, and change how they conduct their business. It is a shame because this used to be my favorite place to get samosa since over 15 years.

3 veg samosa for $1 2 meat samosa for $1.50 3 spring rolls for $1 They also have a hot table and a bunch of Indian sweets I stop by when Im in the area.

Love their dokla. You need to request chutneys and chilli, they don t provide it. Samosa is good, again you need to purchase chutneys. The hot table has good options, not a fan of the mutton curry.

The quality is getting lower and lower and it s a shame. The price is unbeatable though. I prefer they higher the price a bit but add to the quality. Inside the samosa is almost empty and it s mainly dough. Spices need to be more to be authentic and different than Costco premade packages of samosas.

The inflation has hit here, too. What used to be five thats how the business started. It became four, and now its three. Its totally understandable. I hope they maintain the standard by keeping the spices in the right quantity.

One of the oldest take out restaurant for samosas, rolls , snacks and indian sweets .. only drawback is the wait time. Be prepared to wait atleast 20 minutes even if you want to buy samosa for a dollar. Having less staff and creating a bigger lineup is thier startergy.

Good samosas

Vegetarian options: Its hard for a wheelchair person to fit in store Recommended dishes

Theres usually a line up but it goes by very fast. Service is great and the samosas are always fresh. Tried the cauliflower fry. Was delicious.

Not bad over all, but I wish the containers of sauce were bigger. I got 15 samosas and only very small containers of sauce. One each red and green.

I wanted to shared my personal experience with samosa king. I usually have no issues and love their samosas but this time was horrible. I ordered a huge catering order of samosas and they told me to bring it on my own. Ridiculous how they couldnt offer anyone to help me when employees were just standing around. It seems like this spot is losing its respect. They dont care about their customers anymore. We order 500 pieces of samosas and almost 80% of them were cold on the inside . If you cant handle it then dont take these large orders, we can go somewhere else . This plaza is horrible for parking so I had to park on the other side and individually care bags across. Please do not go here ! Dietary restrictions: Unhealthy, I will complain to the health Canada Parking: Horrible parking situation Wheelchair accessibility: Horrible, they do not care about accesibility

Wide variety of sweets and snacks. Crispy and tasty samosas.

Line up is too long

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. Especially the different mains. Food

No space for dine in. The taste of samosa s were disgusting. Also Jalebi was cold, sour and terrible. Dhokhla was okiesh but very dry and no masala or khatta metha taste. We drove from downtown Toronto to this bad experience. Not worth it. Just in my opinion don t go. Samosa king don t go by words my dear people

Forever fan of their crispy and delicious samosas!

Samosa is very good and good price. Long line up. Few other west indies good being served. Food

Vegetarian options: You get a vegetarian thali with rice and 3 curries for $3.99 which is tasty and healthy. No doubt it s unbeatable. Food

Horrible customer service. Never gonna visit again

Quality is not as good as it used to be. Something is missing.

the samosas are cheap but the staff the guy who cleans the floor was literally moping and splashing me with the nasty water!!! Not one but 3 times!! They are miserable the older guys. ( They are probably severely underpaid and therefore hate their jobs) I asked for 2 green sauces but received one and only paid for one but asked for another and they said they had to charge me EXTRA for using the debit machine! IT WAS THEIR FAULT , no customer service at this place
