Review from Jason D.

Found this place randomly based on the previous reviewer. Stopped in around 7pm and was surprised to find them open still.
Samosas were large and crispy, with an excellent flavor. Also had 1/2 lb of pakora, also excellent. The tamarand sauce was a bit thicker than I had expected, but went quite well with both. Definitely going to be back to try some of the sweets in the future! -

Via satellite the industrial parks near Dundas and Hwy 403 resemble a featureless grey morass. George Orwell no doubt envisioned these sort of drab units when pondering the future. But unlike 1984, there is White Gold at the end of the dystopian rainbow.
Open seven days a week, this Gujarati-run place is a doubleplusgood place to score fried Indian goodies, sweets and snacks. It's a takeout place, so there isn't room to stick around and it's adviseable to call ahead. We placed an order for 30 samosas for $0.50 each, and also picked up a pound of assorted sweets ($8).
The samosas here are quite different than the soft, flaky and plump variety I am used to. These are firm, crispy, and uniform in size. You'll probably notice the potato filling is cleanly chopped rather than mashed. In a sense, these samosas are a bit too perfect. Not my favourite, but OK.
They fare better with the sweets. Standouts include the almond and cashew mithai (look for the beige diamonds with silver foil on top) and their peda. Their peda are soft-round circles with a cross on top. Brilliant.
There are better options for both sweets and samosas in Mississauga, but White Gold is certainly a great choice.
Obligatory Title Pun: Worth its weight in GOLD.
Menu Readability: There is is a price list above the counter, but you're best to just ask what's up.
Need to mention: You could get a decorative box for an extra $2, but the regular ones are shiny enough for me.
What this place teaches me about myself: I'm pretty casual about the use of terms like "dystopia."Listed in: Namaste!, Mastering Missisauga

Do *not* let this one pass you by, friends.
Tucked in an industrial plaza, this counter seems out of place. But it has been here for years, supplying Indian savouries and sweets to the GTA community for family and special events. Do not expect hot dishes or a substantial meal, best for a quick snack.
I have not tried everything on the menu, but everything that I've had here is pure pleasure. After trying White Gold samosas, I have measured all subsequent samosas against them - crisp crust, fresh filling that holds its shape, and perfectly spiced. They serve mild and spicy samosas - the spicy is lovely, but be prepared to feel the burn. Served with tamarind sauce, a sweet and sour treat.
Don't pass by the sweets - my favorite are the cashew diamonds. Dangerous for any dieter.
Five stars for tickling my tastebuds at the most unassuming location in Mississauga.
