All India Restaurant & Sweets

1
4249 23 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6L 5Z8

All India features a strong variety of traditional samosas: vegetarian with spiced potatoes and peas; meat with either chicken or beef; cheese-stuffed (paneer); a special samosa choley, which is two veggie samosas topped with chana masala; and samosa chaat served with yogurt and tamarind chutney. This might be the best place to get an eclectic handle on this whole samosa thing.

Little India Ltd

9250 34 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6E 5P2

Little India only serves choley samosas – two simple pastries filled with potatoes, chickpeas and spices. Although the choice is limited, the samosas pack a solid punch of flavour that will titillate your tongue right off. You’re probably not going there just to have a samosa anyway, so don’t be afraid to try out their extensive meat and vegetarian menus.
