Review from Ellen L.
1/9/2012
This review is written out of memory from my two visits here in 2011.
I love discovering fantastic eats, and this one was pure accident. Was heading to Vancouver Symphony Orchestra's annual free concert at Deer Lake and wanted to grab a pizza from Viva Sue. Well, the stars aligned that evening and turns out Sue's not open for business. Now kids, we didn't have the luxury of the handy dandy Yelp app at the time, so we did the next best thing - walk next door. There was a ghetto banner on a fence - "The Best Samosas in Town" - well, we just had to, right? Fortunately, this turned out to be a good decision.
You could tell that this was a family-run business. I felt like I just walked into their house. Over there, you've got Grandma mixing a giant pot of fillings and making samosas by hand. Everyone was warm and friendly. Man, it feels good supporting a local small business!
We got a take-out box full of all of their samosa varieties and some dipping sauces. They were freshly made (not sitting under a lamp of lame). I bet Grandma made them with love, cuz they were pretty awesome! Lots of herb flavour in the filling, lots of filling, delicious! Can't comment on whether they're the best in town, but certainly the best I've tried.
Delicious samosas + free music = AWESOME -

I used to go here often but now that the owner has changed the service sucks and the new owner thinks too much of herself.

I, along with a group of Seattlites, went to Vancouver and had the Safari Snack House on our itenerary based on rave word-of-mouth reviews. Most of us were of East African origin or have roots there, so we have fond memories of mogo, kebab, samosa, bhajia, and other deep fried tasty treats.
We came here and pigged out on all of these snacks for lunch. All of us who were on diets broke them horribly, but did not feel an ounce of guilt - you don't find food like this too often! We'll be back here on our next vancouver trip!
