Review from Dea A.
1/23/2009
When the US border patrol asks you why you can't just buy Indian sweets and samosas in the United States, you have to try not to laugh.
This is THE place that every Indian talks about. You can just show up here and say "I want 50 samosas" and they don't even bat an eye. Samosas come in 1 flavor (vegetable: potato, pea and spices) and 3 sizes. Medium samosas are 50 cents a piece and the larges are 75 cents a piece. They have the sauces, tamarind and mint chutney in the back refrigerators.
They have Indian sweets too but I don't know the names of anything. The carrot thing is delicious, but the mango ones are really gross. How's that for an apt description of what to get??
I was back in the US within an hour, 50 -- er, I mean 47 samosas heavier. Make sure to save your receipt for the samosa. Don't worry, the white bread border guards are not interested in taking these delicious curry bombs. -

A few years ago, I decided to experiment with cooking Indian food since I love it so much. I went to this little grocery store in Windsor for all of the ingredients. They had everything I needed and then some.
Dea is right - the samosas are wonderful and cheap as well. I have never had an issue at the border with the samosas because they have ususally been consumed before I make it to the bridge.Listed in: Across the River in Windsor
