Samosa Garden

Wow, I discovered this hidden gem while visiting South Sacramento. This restaurant serves family seasoned food not all the masalas you get at a typical Indian restaurant.This is a take out only restaurant despite having tables and chairs. You can get a dahl, subzi, rice, and a roti or puree for $4.99 or add yoghurt and a aloo tikki for $5.99. For 2024 that is unbelievable value for money. I didn't think there was a restaurant were you could get a decent meal for $5. They do not provide water, you can buy water bottles.I had Chana Masala, Eggplant subzi, rice and a roti, it was filling. I also had 2 samosas which are 85cents each - again amazing and tasted good.I will return. 5 stars.

I really like the samosas.They were affordable and delicious. I just wish they had a better chutney.

I used to absolutely love Samosa Garden! It was one of the few places in town where you could get a full meal for $10 or less.Whenever the older woman was working, she was always kind and accommodating, even making dishes that weren't on the menu, like chole bhature. However, more recently, her daughter has been the only one running the restaurant, and unfortunately, the experience has changed. She's been unpleasant to interact with, unkind to customers, and even overcharged me for my meal.While they still serve the best channa in town, the poor customer service makes it hard to justify going back. After speaking with some of my Punjabi friends, I learned they've had similar experiences with the daughter, which is truly unfortunate given how good the food is.

Used to love this place but I will never give this place my business ever again and I will make sure no one I know gives their business to this place again. The food isn't bad but the older lady that works here is extremely rude and unprofessional. She was extremely rude and is ignorant and does not know to how to be professional and run a business. Also, no it's not a language barrier issue because I also do speak Punjabi. Sad behavior by aunty

OMG the Samosas are to die for. The absolute best in Sacramento possibly the state! I have had them in other restaurants but none compare. Some are good but this place has the absolute best in the galaxy!Is a line is in the store it moves quick! I have been coming here first over 22 years. And the samosas are fantastic. I also like the chick peas dish. Not sure what its called but its good!The creature I was married to found this place. I suppose that's the only good thing from her. But the food is good and many traditional Indian sweets too. Don't be stubborn just get dressed snd go try them out!!!!

I was running errands in South Sacramento today and was looking for an affordable lunch that wasn't fast food. The reviews online were so polarized, which made me a little skeptical, but I love Indian food and decided to give this place a try.I think if you live or work in South Sac, you might already know about this gem. It was about 12:30pm on a Monday and there was a constant stream of customers getting a take-away lunch. The wait was never very long and the fresh food is visible so you can consider your options as you wait. I saw that the prices were a little higher than some pictures from last year, but that isn't surprising given inflation and I still thought they were very fair. I went with a number 2, which comes with rice, dal, yogurt, aloo tikki, and I chose roti and aloo gobi as my vegetable of the day. I also had to try a samosa and, because prices were low and it was heating up outside, a mango lassi. $10 and change--not bad.The woman behind the counter was very kind and patient as I made my selections. When I asked her if I could dine in, she indicated a sign I had missed that said "take out only" but was kind enough to still allow me to eat at a table. She really didn't have to, but I really, really, REALLY appreciated not having to eat in my car. Since it didn't seem like they had staff to handle the dining room, I tried to be very neat and cleaned the table when I was done. Be advised that you may not be able to eat in, so plan accordingly. Now to the food: everything was fresh, flavorful, and and portions were very generous for the price. In fact, I couldn't finish all of the food--a fantastic value for money. The samosa is really a standout and such a bargain at only $0.85!! Completely stuffed with a delicious potato mixture that was NOT dry as I sometimes find at other restaurants and the pastry was hot and flakey. I wish I could have had room for two and even more room to try at least one of their beautiful desserts under the counter--they all looked mouthwatering. Really, this is a 4 star restaurant, but I found the staff to be so accommodating and generous in the face of so many reviews stating otherwise that it warranted a 5th star in my eyes. The vibe I got was going to my friend's house after school and her Indian mom preparing a plate for me. I'll be back!

We have been going here for years. Usually, to purchase samosas and sweets for Diwali and family gatherings. The food is always consistently good. The samosas crisp and not oily. The flavors on point. You can also pick your own choice of sweets in the back to create your own assortment. Staff is always helpful and cheerful.

While Samosa Garden is famous for their sweets especially during Diwali, they also offer some great meals. I stop by here almost every other week just to pick up some samosas. Whether it's to hold me off until a late dinner or to grab a bunch to take fishing, they are just as delicious the next day as they are fresh. I have tried a few of their entrees such as their goat curry that's 100% delicious. I was totally amazed at the amount of take out they do. For over 30 years this mother and daughter team has established themselves as a great restaurant offering not just tasty food but super friendly, excellent customer service.

I placed a large order a few months ago for my work event. The prices were very reasonable for the samosas compared to other restaurants I called around. The owner/cashier was very friendly and she greeted me right away. While I was waiting for the samosas, I ordered a parotha and ate it quickly. It was heavenly.

Young lady working the front was niceAnd helpful. She gave good portions and food was good.
