Tastiest Samosas?
Im a great big fan of samosa’s, that too the allo ones! Till now, the tastiest samosas i’ve found have been from Dilpasand sweet mart near teen talwar and from Sohny Sweets near the KPT underpass. Which samosas do you find the tastiest and where do you get them?
Note: Mom’s samosas do not count!
CHATOORA !
Try Once – BABAPAK Samosa – Outside United Bank Limited Napier Road Branch,
Direction:
ON M A Jinnah Take right from KMC Building, go straight upto city court, take 3rd left, move straight take again 2nd left head back towards M A Jinnah Road and on left hand is UNITED BANK and BABAPAK
Those are as famous as Coffe cake of Bombay Bakery Hyderabaad.
(all streets are one way)
The best I’ve had our from Munawar’s.
(opp. Bilawal House)
Peshawari version of Samossas..No different :P
we have Lahori Sweet House ( though it’s been a while when we had Samoosas from that shop)
The Sweets Shop is in famous Qisa Khaawani Baaazaar Peshawar. You can also visit SRK’s Old House, It’s hadly 5-10 minutes walk from this shop.
Aur MOM kay Samossay does count.. :)
Cheers

Is it just me or have we had more than our fair share of food-related postings for the last couple :)
i have seen Dilpasand M.A Jinnah road’s kitchen behind Iqbal center(which was recently gutted by fire), the less said about it the better ..after witnessing the terrible sanitary conditions any one would simply puke out those tasty samosas
We have been getting samosas from BabaPak for the last 25+ years. Even though the size has been getting smaller every year, the taste is still the same. The best way to go for is to get unfried samosas in bulk quantity and fry them at home everyday. Since, its in no way feasible to go to that part of the city everyday. And besides, if I remember correctly, they usually don’t open during ramadhan.
United has a good Qeema/Fish/Chicken samosa too. I like dilpasands too..
UB itself lives on Babapak. eery saturday if we dont get those samosas with that chutni its death. its my breakfast.
United has amazing samosas but they’re huge and at times salty. still among the better ones. its babapak’s chtni thats’ o die for.
karachi university ka samosas FTW……
oh n its 1 rupee each
Yummmmmmmmmmmmm
man im missing liberty lahore ka samosayyy
hah
Well my mom is diabetics patient so I am dependent on dukan wallas for BaySin made products.
i didn’t know this Baba jan shop but would sure try after ramadan. :-)
what does UB mean here? United Bakery?
I wonder nobody mentioned Qeema samosay of “Enterprise” in State life building at IIC? Unfortunately it doesn’t exist anymore. *sigh*
karachi university ka samosas FTW……
oh n its 1 rupee each
abhi tak ek Rupya? waise KU ki aur bhe chezain mazay k hoti hain for instance chaat(cholay) :D
in one of the famous bakery’s kitchen, workers knead the dough in a large tub using their feet…
Baba Pak’s samosas are good, there is another one near Gul Plaza his samosas are also good
Nimco in Bohri Bazar!!
Babapak opens at 11.30 in ramzan for kacha samosa, and fried ones are avlbl after 3 PM.
on other note:
did any one tried ARBI PARATHA (not arabic) it is available at FRESCO
On meatless it is Rs. 25 each and rest of the days it is Rs. 30 – Bring home and ‘WARM’ in the microwave and enjoy.
samosas’ would be 2 steps behind it !
i tried arabic paratha [as they claim]. A bit heavy though. Taste is just OK.
speaking of chat and chatni, i was told there is a place in karachi where I can find all kinds of Chaat masalas. Is it true? if yes then where is the location?
my typo error. i meant UB = UBL
Enterprise was LIFE till it died a few months ago =( their french fries, their pulao biryani, their omellette double roti and their aloo and qeema samosas.
yep. we all lived on the good stuff.
@Adnan jodia bazar? all type of spice trader are located there
Enterprise was shutdown due to non-payment issues and other mess. My friend who works at UBL HO told me that.
BTW, UBL also means Usama Bin Laden so better people who refer the term mention the full name otherwise Americans could turn UBL sites to Tora bora. :-)
doctor saab. Thanks. mey tab tak yehi samjhta tha k jodia me sirf chemicals he biktay hain :D
Karachi university ke samoshe are the best , with all that chat masala on them *Yum , that is what I can say about the avialability of the best samoshaz in karachi.
mmm! good input guys! need to go check out this babaPak sometime soon :D though i dont think i’ll be doing it this ramzan :p its very hard 2 get in that part of the city, and equally hard to get out and go towards karsaz
Same here in Bangalore, I tried few while roaming around the commercial street area y’day late evening!! Checkout My post about the same here…
Rajesh – this is Karachi and about Karachi, and when was last YOU visited Karachi, Please Enlighten US with your local encounters and experience with Samosas’ of Karachi.
– Adnan – There is an outlet called Masaala markaz in Hyderabad Colony off New jamshed road. as far as I can remember they carried variety of chat masaala and masaala jaats, of huge variety.-
New jamshed road?
Where is it? I know Jamshed Road that goes from Guru Mandir to Jail…. w/ Hyd Colony at right near the end of the road… but where is the New Jamshed Road?
Tastiest samosas esp aalo walay are of DHA phase 4 pathan wala..besides Rehman Masjid..
Can anyone tell me the exact location of BabaPak..I never heard of BabaPak before..How could this happen…I thought i was the food maniac…HUH.!!!!
