Ordered from this deli tonight on GrubHub. I'm from Philly, house sitting for my parents, and…read morewanted to order something that felt like South Jersey to me. So, naturally, I get a hoagie. It was an arduous process deciding where to order from because I absolutely hate driving and delivery was a must. This spot had two great reviews for Indian food which sounded interesting to me, so I gave them a try.
I ordered the American cold hoagie combo with chips and a soda and a 2pc samosa. I really didn't need all that food just for myself, but after seeing the reviews about indian food, I felt a little obligated to try something other than the sandwich. I received a call from a friendly woman after placing my order that they were out of chips and the soda I requested, so she was able to substitute fries and a different soda. She also asked how I wanted the hoagie - apparently if you order without specifying, it's literally just bread, meat, and cheese! Good to know. I told her to load it up with lettuce, onion, tomato, and extra mayo.
The food came much faster than grubhub estimated. I had indicated contactless pickup, but the delivery guy still came to the door and waited for me to answer to hand off the food. He was super friendly as well, so I didn't mind. I just felt bad that I hadn't grabbed a mask before answering the door because I thought he would have put the food down and stepped away. I'm really not used to people being so friendly, haha. Philly is the city of brotherly love and all, but we are antisocial and don't like to make eye contact. This was different.
The samosas were delicious. I've never had one before so I didn't have any expectations. The green sauce smelled spicy so I used the brown sauce for dipping and I think there was cinnamon in there? I liked the crunch. It was like an Indian perogi with tons of flavor.
The hoagie was okay! Not the best hoagie I have ever had in my life, but certainly not the worst and still better than wawa. I added more mayo from my fridge. It just didn't taste like it was made with the same love as the samosas, or maybe I was so impressed with the samosas that the hoagie seemed bland? Hmm.
The fries were perfect. Super crisp and crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. Absolutely perfect fries for my taste.
I was super full after eating everything but half the sandwich, but I am satisfied. I would definitely recommend this spot and/or try some more indian dishes if I am ever in the area with a hankering again.
