    Saw this place on social media and had to try it. I'm really particular about my rolls & samosas, that's why I gave this place a 3. When I order a non-vegetarian roll/samosa I expect to find big juicy chunks of meat inside, but all of the samosas I ordered had very tiny, ground pieces of meat which was dissapointing. The crust was warm, delicious and flaky.

    I cannot believe it took me so long to finally check out Samosa hut. I have heard many raving reviews about their scrumptious selections and generous portions. Let me just say it took me a solid 10 mins just to take in the amount of options they had to create your own rice plates, wraps etc. I ordered the Shawarma Biryani plate with Tandoori fried chicken, mango pineapple chicken and loaded with rice and drizzled with a generous amount of garlic sauce. The plate was packed to the brim and was enough to feed 2 people! The taste was out of this world and mind blowingly delicious. It had the right amount of spiciness from the Tandoori chicken and creaminess from the sauce. I wish I lived closer so that I can enjoy this everyday. I also got a couple of butter chicken samosas (not pictured as we ate them in the car ) and the butter chicken fusion shawarma.

    After reading so many great reviews, I was anxious to try Samosa Hut so I went there for lunch today. Unfortunately, I was terribly disappointed. I ordered the butter chicken with biryani rice and a mutton spring roll. For $1 more, I got a pop and a (lamb) samosa. With a 50 cents upcharge for the biryani rice, the total bill, with tax, came up to $11.01. Doesn't seem so cheap for lunch anymore. The texture of the samosa was nice and crispy but the lamb flavour didn't really come through. The spring roll also had a nice crispy texture but I felt like there was more potato or similar filling than meat. The butter chicken was the most disappointing. It was very sweet and the meat was dry, despite the sauce. The biryani rice had no flavour. Sadly, I've had better butter chicken from a frozen meal. Unless I'm really missing something, I can't recommend Samosa Hut.

    The tandoori chicken and jerk tamrind chicken and Paratha Roti were stiff, tough and hard to chew, and probably equally as difficult to digest. When you tap your fork against the chicken, is it supposed to sound like someone knocking against the door? Check my video To be honest I had a few bites of the food but mostly ended up throwing out a heavy plate of food. We also ordered the butter chicken and mutton Curry. The food was not very spicy but the positive thing is that it had lots of meat compared to Pakistani and Indian restaurants you will go to. We ordered the mix n' match samosa, and I'm very annoyed with the fact that they limited to one order per person. If you want to order more, you better bring your family member with you and have them line up behind you. So stupid and pointless! The Jerk Tamarind chicken, sweet eggplant and spinach samosa is for immature taste buds. Just has a lot of sugar added. Also the jerk samosa, curry samosa and chilli chicken samosa does not taste like the name. And they give the tiniest little container for Raita and then charge you $0.50 for an additional. Ridiculous! And the portion of biryani rice is smaller than other places and doesn't even really taste like briyani rice to be honest. DO NOT buy your paratha here... If I were to recommend anything, I would say the curries and sample the samosas. Other than that, skip this place.

    We were able to stop by during the week and pick up a fusion platter and burrito. They pile on the food and you will not regret your purchase. We got spicy mutton/goat and short ribs. Very delicious and quick service. The Falafel were so tasty too.

    Amazing food and amazing service, tried their Shawarma plate and have been hooked ever since!! Highly recommend for chicken and rice lovers.

    Spicy devilled chilli chicken kothu roti. YUM!

    I think I've found my new favourite sri lankan food joint! Just a tad bit more expensive than other places but the food this place offers makes up for that with strong flavours, and generous portions. On my first visit, I was greeted by the owner of the joint (such a friendly fellow!) who allowed my friend and I to sample some of the meats before ordering. As we tried them, he kindly explained the flavour profiles of each meat and which he would recommend for each of us depending on what flavours we typically look for. Their spicy devilled chilli chicken was a winner for me. As a person who likes to eat everything spicy, the name had already sold it for me but the unique combination of pepper flavours and spices that shine through in this chicken were what made my decision to settle for this one. Their butter chicken had a unique flavour that is unlike other butter chicken dishes I've had from other places. Super creamy with a slight sweetness. This meat placed second on my list. Third was the spicy mutton. Typical mutton curry flavours were found in this one. Just a bit of a kick, not satisfying enough for my palette but was still pretty good! We couldn't sample the jerk tamarind chicken leg. The guy said he wouldn't hack away at a leg for us to try!. He did, however, scoop some of its sauce into a sampling cup for us to try though. The sweet and sour tamarind flavours were really strong in this one, outshining any other flavours. Delicious, but not my thing. I settled for the spicy devilled chilli chicken kothu roti as I had been highly recommended it. On the side, I had ordered 12 of their signature samosas for $10. I got one of each of most of their signature flavours. The devilled chilli chicken kothu roti was packed tightly into a round tin container with a generous amount of devilled chilli chicken, LARGE chunks of it! Yes! A slice of lime was also wedged in there and when squeezed over the kothu roti, compliments the dish well with a slight tang. The only downside to this dish is the wait time. The owner had warned me that it'd take some time to make. Seems like they make everything fresh to order. I waited about 25 minutes for it to be ready. Out of their signature samosa flavours, favourites that I MUST get again include: jerk chicken, devilled chilli chicken, curry chicken, spicy minced lamb, butter chicken, and spinach and sweet cream cheese. Jerk chicken samosa is a MUST GET. One of the best samosa flavours I've had... EVER. The spinach and sweet cream cheese samosa (although the filling seemed to have bled out while baking/frying) was super sweet; I'd consider it a dessert samosa. The samosas served here have a light flaky exterior that covers a thin bready wrapping for the fillings. Each samosa is generously packed with its delicious and flavourful minced fillings. My friend had ordered a two meat + basmati rice carnivore combo ($9.99) with the butter chicken and the spicy devilled chilli chicken. She had asked the owner to not be shy with the sauce. He did NOT disappoint. The rice is basically bleeding the sauce. Delicious!

    Omnivore combos

    5 STARS!! Samosa Hut nailed it. I noticed a non-stop rush of customers coming in while I was there. The restaurant is small as it is mostly meant for take-out and catering. However they do have a small table facing the entire side with the windows. The food is displayed very nicely and organized. One section is the curries with the vegetarian options placed together, then the meat options. The other side is fried food items like samosas and rolls. There are clear and coloured name tags for each food item so you won't be confused. There are also the spicy levels (light orange, orange and red - for the least spicy to spiciest) under the food name. You order your choice of food, and then pay at the end. Upon arriving at the outside of the restaurant, I saw 3 large posters of specials: Omnivore Combos, Carnivore Combos, and Vegan Combos. The names were very cute and drew my attention to the posters. These posters were also on the inside of the restaurant as well. The prices were very reasonable as you can get a rice combo for as low as $4.99 for lunch. We opted for the 1 meat + 1 veggie + basmati rice for $5.99 and the 4 veggie + basmati rice combo for $6.99. For the meat, we tried the spicy deviled chicken (very hot), and the veggie options we tried the sweet eggplant, sweet and spicy mango curry, spicy tomato and potato curry, and the Channa Masala (chickpeas). Warning to people who can't eat spicy not to order the spicy deviled chicken. It is VERY spicy but the flavour is good. The mango curry is tasty if you're going for something tangy. The spicy tomato and potato curry was okay. I found that the flavour was very interesting. The sweet eggplant and the Channa Masala were my favourite. The eggplant was sweet, as the name says, and the chickpeas were soft. I also ordered the butter chicken samosas (since it's their specialty) and the lamb samosas. As well as the fish roll. The samosas were very delicious and had a lot of filling inside. For the fish rolls, it was filled with potato and you can taste the fish flakiness so you know it's good stuff. Let me start off by saying that the portions were VERY generous. The staff in charge of scooping the food was friendly and gave thorough suggestions when I asked for his recommendation. I tried the Channa Masala (chickpeas) that he recommended and I did not regret it. it was amazingly delicious! I do have to say that most of their foods are mild/spicy so be prepared. I will be back and definitely recommend this place to anyone unsure of what to eat when they're in the Ajax area!

    Lumbini Hut - Chicken Steamed Momos

    I don't recall ever having Nepali cuisine so this was new to me. With Nepal being north of India…read moreand close to Mt Everest, there are similarities to Indian cuisine, with some Chinese influences. We started with their Steamed Chicken Momos. They were large, stuffed with chicken, and very delicious, especially with a spicy dipping sauce! That was soon followed by Dahi Puri, a crispy pastry shell with a savoury filling, topped with creamy yogurt. I've had similar dishes but these were the best versions ever! We also had their Chicken Choyela (served with crispy broken rice), an excellent Chicken Chow Mein, and Paratha flatbread. Additionally, we had a Mutton Thakali Set which is a combo meal with several components, all delicious. We were impressed. Every dish was absolutely delicious, full of flavour, with generous portions. I highly recommend Lumbini Hut! I'll definitely be back! PS - They have a large patio for outdoor dining in the summer, and a banquet hall in the basement for private events. They also have live entertainment on weekends.

    My friend lives around the corner from this spot. He said he's never been, so tonight we changed…read morethat! The interior is decorated beautifully. The servers are wearing traditional garments and there is beautiful artwork on the walls . Friday - Sunday they even have live music. They have a large space in the restaurant for parties and events. After speaking with the owner, I found the upstairs event space can accommodate 50 patrons and the downstairs hall can host 200! Wow. Now onto the exciting part; The food. We ordered a couple different dishes and shared Dahi Puri Chicken Choyela Chicken Steam Momo's Chicken Chow Mein Thakali Set - Mutton Paratha I'm a huge Dahi Puri lover. This version blew me away... The flavor profile was perfection. ( My friend LOVED this dish as well. ) Next up were the Momo's. They're known for their Momo's. I do prefer a steamed Momo, so we went with steamed chicken. The portion size was quite large and the dipping sauce paired well; they had so much flavor. The next appetizer dish was one I have never had before; Chicken Choyela. I generally don't enjoy crunchy / textured foods but my friend quite enjoyed the puffed rice addition of this dish. The chicken had a unique flavor, unlike anything I've had before. It was solid. Their Chow Mein is another dish that they're known for. I seem to prefer noodles over rice these days. (But, I'm generally disappointed with most places noodles.) These were SUPERB! They had a smoky flavor to them and were a 10/10. I've had Thali but never a Thakali. While similar, they are different; We chose the mutton option. This dish was incredibly tender and bursting with flavors. Dish after dish impressed us. This spot hits all the right notes and is a definite must visit if you're in the area. My friend was so impressed, he's already planning his next visit!
