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.

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!

If you are looking for Authentic Sri Lankan - Sinhalese style food this is probably the best (and…read moreprobably only) place I know in the city. Have tried their Lampraise (banana leaf rice)*, Rice & Curry Box, Lankan Roti and short eats (egg rolls etc and have been impressed. The flavors on the Lampriase is as 90% as authentic as you would find in Sri Lanka. And the flavors on the curries are great. The curries available can vary day to day depending on the seasons and what's available in the market. The last time I went I had Jack Fruit curry, Beans, Fish Curry, Banana Flower curry which were all really good. They are quite generous with the portions (at least the last time I went) but I am worried that this generosity doesn't lead to downsizing or totally cutting down on stuff in the future to manage the margins as this is probably the only Sinhalese style Lankan restaurant in town! Hate losing it as we have been before! Note: Sri Lankan Tamil and Sinhalese cuisines are quite distinct. While there are many Lankan Tamil food restaurants, it's rare to find a Sinhalese style restaurant. The Banana Leaf Rice and Curry you usually get at Tamil fast food places is not the same as the Lampraise. Lampraise has a unique preparation method and the flavors are quite different with a lot of Dutch influence present in it.

This place offers quick take-out as the foods are already ready on display as soon as you walk in -…read moreor you can order ahead of time for large catering / take-out orders. Very spicy.

Jaffna's Mutton Kari with Jaffna-style rice ($11.99) is an incredible value in downtown Toronto…read more The mutton kari was rich, savory, and packed with aromatic spices like star anise, curry leaves, and cardamom. The spice level was spot on and added just the right amount of heat. It was slightly on the salty side, but overall I really loved it and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Great flavor and excellent value for the price.

We'd just finished a fun outing to the Art Gallery and were looking to grab a quick lunch. We…read morefigured the easiest option was to pop into the Grange food court. After weighing my options, I opted for a Devilled Chicken Wrap from Jaffna Street Food. I was asked what I wanted on it, so I said everything and the wait began. Somehow it took almost 20 minutes for my food to be ready, which was a little weird since the place wasn't busy at all. Nevertheless it's the quality of the food that's important. It's an okay wrap. The Devilled Chicken is quite tasty and very flavorful, and the plentiful other components are also good. The problem, then, is the lack of sauce tying the whole thing together. I would get whole bites of just plain white rice. It was extremely off-putting. Finally I gave up and took the whole thing apart and began eating it with a fork and knife. At least that way I was guaranteed to get a bit of everything in every bite. Jaffna's certainly got potential, but they have some key areas that desperately need to be addressed and fixed.

I've been following them for some time on Instagram and had been meaning to visit the Ajax…read morelocation. However, I happened to be in Bowmanville having lunch with a friend when we decided to stop into this location. The owner was super friendly and we watched him explain all the different dishes and options to customers. I love passion like that! It was my turn and my friend having had them before recommended the Devil Chili Chicken Roll. I love spice and they promised I wouldn't be disappointed. This roll was huge . Like a giant Taquito. Filled with curry and cheese. It was magical. I was so impressed. And there was a little heat to it which made me happy!!! I also tried their samosas . I did samosa roulette and tried to guess what each color meant. I LOVED purple which I think was the mango jerk chicken. 10/10 Also quite enjoyed the orange, red and blue samosas . They make all their sauces in house so naturally being a Sauce Addict I had to try one of each The cilantro, signature garlic, and mango pineapple habanero were my favorites. Being close by, I'll definitely be back to try some of their other fusion dishes.

New location in the heart of bowmanville…read more Cute decor and very friendly staff. I tried their butter chicken samosa, mango jerk chicken and devil chili chicken samosa along with mutton rolls. I'll have to come back in the morning or order a fresh batch cause my samosas were hard but had lots of filling. As for the mutton rolls, very very meaty but didn't taste as flavourful as sri Lankan rolls. Looking forward to trying their kothu roti next.
