We came in late afternoon and we were quickly seated by very nice servers. Very clean restaurant. The ambiance was warm and relaxing. Tandoori chicken and fish were delicious. We especially favored the tender fish. The black lentils were cooked in fragrant spices but way too spicy for me. My hubby loves spicy, but he said they were overly spicy. Garlic naan was deliciously charred. I will definitely return. The food and experience was well worth our first visit. read more

Delicious food, wonderful service, casual atmosphere. Transiting through Bakersfield, we were so glad we came upon this gem of a restaurant. Greeted with a warm welcome as we walked in, you could tell this family run restaurant wants you to enjoy their cuisine. They were very accommodating towards my mom and sister in regard to spice levels and patiently explained the dishes they weren't familiar with. We started off with complimentary spiced papadums and a trio of chutneys. My mom loves lamb so she selected the curry and enjoyed the flavor and tenderness. I like paneer so I got it as tikka masala. It was a tad too sweet for my preference but I still enjoyed it. My sister never tried chicken jalfrezi and was told it's actually a spicy dish. They modified it for her capsaicin averse tastebuds and she was very happy with her pick. Yellow lentils, veggie samosas, basmati rice and garlic naan rounded off our dinner. Bakersfield has a lot of Indian restaurants to choose from, so I hope they have longevity and success. When we drive through Bakersfield, we will make sure to patronize Samosa Junction again! read more

Finally got a chance to try their buffet. This, I can get down on! There was quite a few people there on a saturday afternoon but the cooks kept the food trays flowing. The service is amazing, the owners are great. Everything I had was delicious. The lentils, rice and the chicken curry are my favorite. This will be my new go-to weekend buffet. Quick recap-great food, service and price. Go check it out! read more

Finally had the opportunity to try Samosa Junction. It is located in a very busy strip a few doors down from New Vintage Grill. I got there about 1 to place an order to go. The server was super nice and a big cheery smile. I ordered a Vegi Samosa, chicken tiki masala, regular rice and garlic naan. The Vegi samosa was awesome. I even with the 1/2 hour it took to get home. The very smartly put them in a small brown bag so they don't steam and get soggy. The samosa was super crunchy and full of the typical vegi's. The only thing is they didn't put the green sauce in the bag. :( The chicken tiki masala was a nice size portion with tender chunks of chicken in the typical tiki masala sauce. Honestly it was just ok. Had good flavor but needed more heat. I'm asked for medium spiced but was a zero on the scale of heat. The rice as nice and fluffy and a large portion. The garlic naan fell short :( It was a little over cooked and didn't have any garlic taste. :( . All in all it was ok. I will definitely go back and give them another try and see if maybe eating there is better. The place is a little small with a large screen tv over the buffet line which right now they are not going to offer until the business picks up. There was too much food waste. I can totally understand. Service was a 5 Food was a 3 read more

Let me just say right up front, i will mess up the names of these foods. Don't let that stop you from trying this place. No matter what you order, you will like it. The store is simple and clean. The staff is friendly. This appears to be a family-owned business. The food is made with care. The portions are satisfying. I really enjoy the flavor of Indian food and I can't quite figure out why I don't try it more often. It's proof positive that even if you can not pronounce the names, the food can still be tasty. read more

The butter chicken had some spice to it! I ordered to go and the portion is pretty big. The garlic naan was soft and warm paired nicely with the butter chicken. Friendly and fast service. It was a pretty clean restaurant when you walk in. Just wished they had combo options instead of having to order everything separate. read more

This is a really great restaurant WoW! All of the food came out hot, it was all flavorful, it all tasted amazing. Their tikka masala was my favorite very flavorful, with the paneer it also made it taste great. I tried a lot of new items this time which is always a bit scary and all of it was yummy. Service wise they were so friendly, they came to our table to talk to us, they let us try something new that wasn't even on the menu! They explained exactly what was in the food when we asked! Very very nice people and a great family owned restaurant! Inside there was lots of seating! I liked the color theme, they have TVs, a good sized parking lot! Overall as a new restaurant they are killing it! Love it! read more

This Family Owned restaurant has only been open 2 weeks, but they served up some amazing, traditional Punjabi food. We had the Garlic Naan, that they made special for us, because I'm not a fan of cilantro. We also ordered a full order of Tandoori chicken, with grilled onions, in hot plate, that was absolutely delicious! The service was exemplary! We were greeted with a big smile from Neha, who graciously offered to adjust the thermostat, because it was too cold for this old man. She also turned the volume down on the TV, and put on some cool Punjabi videos, at my request. I recommend this place for fine dining in an intimate atmosphere...not super lavish, but attractive. They also have a lunch special, that we can't wait to try! The owner, was very friendly and came by to introduce himself. Check it out, before it gets too crowded! read more

I have no idea why it took us soo long to stop by Samosa Junction! Went this past weekend with my wife and loved it! This place has such a warm atmosphere when you walk in. We obviously ordered the chicken Tikka Masala and the Butter Chicken with rice and Garlic Naan! The butter chicken was both my wife and I favorite dish, no shade to the tiki masala which was also amazing but that creamy butter chicken is to die for! Almost forgot to mention since this place is named "Samosa Junction" we had to order samosas and talk about flavor! I want to finish off by saying, we're not super familiar with Indian cuisine but we love the flavor of everything, as a started we were given these 3 sauces/salsas and these thin crispy shells, which the waiter kindly explained what they were called and how they were made with cumin seeds and to try the sauces on them, I think I remember they were called Papadums! Highly recommend this place! read more

Drove from Fresno to Santa Monica in difficult rain and driving conditions this night. My son wanted Indian food and I asked him to pick the highest rated Yelp restaurant. Was suprised to learn it was a 15 minute detour to drive there. Destiny brought us to this family run business. Quaint and cosy we had attentive service and wstched Bollywood TV while we waited for our meal. Why the low score? Having used the restroom I was disappointed to see how poorly cleaned the door, walls and switches were maintained. All the past years DNA made me sick to think why! Then once we were served our appitizer the 3 small condiment tops were also dirty beyond belief. Growing up in restaurant business I was compelled to inform the lady in charge how disappointed she choose to maintain her business. I informed her rubbing alcholol would resolve this violations and hope she take action and never lets these tell tale signs be a issue ever again. read more

This was some of the best Indian food I have ever had. We ordered veggie samosa, butter chicken, garlic naan, and I asked them if they had aloo gobi (a personal favorite) and they said it's not on the menu but they would make it for me. The food is authentic and SOOOO good! We to go in person and sat in a booth and the server was very nice and attentive even as we waited and the owner gave us our food and was very happy about the aloo gobi. DEFINITELY coming back here!! read more

3.5 The veggie samosas were delicious - flaky and crisp with a delicious and flavorful filling. The tandoori chicken was unfortunately dry and lacked the expected Indian spicy flavor. The dal was mild in flavor and spice (I asked for medium spice.) And it needed salt. The entrees do not come with any sides, so we ordered basmati rice and garlic naan. Both were average. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was chilly and she noticed we were cold and turned the air down. I really hope this family restaurant succeeds. They just need to be a little more heavy handed with the spices. They have the potential for 5 stars! read more

Great service, great food, a steal for the price, will keep visiting when I'm in the area

5 stars in Bakersfield. This place is now, officially, my favorite place to eat. It has FLAVOR. I not understand how Don pericos is packed. You all need to be more adventurous and try something with some soul in it. They even do white people mild if you are afraid! Literally, the best flavors are here in this town. Don't be shy! This food is legitimately good! Stop being so plain and going out to neutral eateries that offer nothing other than watered down versions of Mexican or Chinese food. Do yourself a favor and live a little! read more

Stopped by Samosa Junction, a new 'fast-food' Indian spot off Hageman in northwest Bakersfield. The place was clean, and it wasn't too busy for a weekend evening--hoping this spot breaks the bad luck streak for this location! We stuck with the classics for our first go: butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. Ordered the butter chicken spicy (thanks to David I.'s tip about the medium being more like mild), and glad we did! It had a nice kick without being overwhelming. Between the convenience, quick service, and decent prices, this feels like a good spot for an easy weeknight dinner. Also pleasantly surprised to see solid vegetarian options on the menu. Worth a try if you're craving Indian and want something quick and easy! read more

My husband and I love Indian food so we decided to try Samosa Junction. It's a small, but clean restaurant. We had our choice of tables to sit at. The server was friendly and very helpful. She brought us water and we placed an order for veggie samosas to start. The samosas had a great flaky outside and soft, flavorful filling. Along with the samosas the server brought out a trio of sauces to eat with the samosas. One was a mint, jalapeño and avocado sauce, one was a tamarind sauce and the third was a mango chutney. None were overly spicy but all were flavorful and complimented the samosas. My husband loved the mango chutney. For our entrees I ordered the butter chicken along with the chili naan. My husband ordered the channa masala and we shared an order of the mushroom rice. The butter chicken was more tomato forward then I'm accustomed to. It had good flavor but not as creamy as some other restaurants. My husband enjoyed his channa masala and shared it could have been spicier. We both really enjoyed the mushroom rice. It was basmati rice with nice big chunks of mushrooms. The mushrooms were cooked well and gave the rice a nice "meaty" texture to the dish. The server was attentive and helpful and we both had a pleasant experience at the Samosa Junction. read more

This small restaurant was comfortable and welcoming. Service was prompt and friendly and the food was flavorful and just want I wished for. The naan was soft and chewy, the palak paneer medium spicy as ordered and the raita flavorful. Most of all I enjoyed the samosas with the variety of sauces available to spoon upon this beautifully balanced little package. The restaurant is aptly named. I will be back. read more

Never in my life have I had a pallet experience to fall head over heels for. Flavors are beyond my mental capacity. If you have never experienced food like this, you must. Run, not walk to Samosa Junction. I have my solo dinner date there at least once a week I lie at least twice.. read more

Best Indian Food I've had in a long time. I ordered my standard go to...veggie samosa with chutney was delicious and chutney was just right. Really, really good.Garlic naan was excellent. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and basmati rice. The sauce was very flavorful. I just wish it had a lot more chicken. Great and fast to-go order. Loved all the flavor. Highly recommended! I will be back soon. read more

My family and I love all different kinds of food, so we have tried a lot of different restaurants here in Bakersfield and Samosa Junction by far is our favorite Indian restaurant here after trying it for the first time! we ordered garlic naan, veggie samosas, chicken tandoori, paneer tikka masala, raita, tarka dal, jeera rice, and finished it with gulab jamun for dessert! seems like a lot but that is how it's supposed to be eaten I believe lol. Everything is ordered separate and I felt like the pricing was very reasonable for everything you get. They started out the service by serving papadam which was super addicting lol. You can tell the owners care about their restaurant and taking care of customers. The service was attentive and very friendly, we had everyone checking on us and great hospitality service. The ambience was nice, very cozy place and had comforting colors/ decorations. I didn't take pictures of everything because I was really trying to enjoy my time, but I enjoyed every dish we ordered and would order them all again. They also let us know they do deliveries as well! And gave us a take out menu. Might even have to order in one night! Thank you for the wonderful experience:) read more

I found out about this place about 2 weeks ago and I've been here 5 times already and have tried different dishes every time. Food is authentic and tastes great. Service is always great, very nice and friendly staff. Their food is much better in terms of flavor, portion and price than most other Indian food places in the city and I've been to every other place multiple times so I am saying that after careful comparison. You won't regret eating here if you know good indian/pakistani food. read more

Stopped by on a Wednesday night with my family, the staff was very nice and even made Aloo Gobi after my father asked if they had it (his favorite) and it wasn't on the menu. My family agreed that it was some of the best Aloo Gobi we've had. The rest of the food was also great and we all agreed we had to return sometime soon. Great food, very nice staff, clean, and at a good price! read more

Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly service, would definitely recommend. Tandoori chicken was great, Naan was cooked perfectly.

It wasn't bad, per se, but it certainly was what I've come to expect from Indian food. I ordered to-go, and the gentleman that took my order was very nice. I ordered butter chicken and shahi paneer. I'm used to these dishes having cream, or other dairy products, but these dishes seemed to lack any dairy whatsoever. The "butter" chicken was similar to a can of spaghettios, sans the "O's". This may be due to some regional composition of these dishes. While my kid liked it, I did not. read more

great food...great service...great prices...what else is there to consider? I do not normally like Indian cuisine but I love this place.

Food was really good. Very fresh ingredients. Love this new Indian food so glad we got something like this in the area.
