Royal Delight Samosa

I absolutely love Samosas! I guess I pretty much love anything wrapped up in a wonderfully crispy dough to be honest. How can you go wrong?

I've eaten plenty of samosas in my time so trying new brands is always exciting because it's fun to compare the little differences. This particular brand is made in Ontario by Shimla Foods along with a variety of other flavours and bread products. 

Like other frozen samosa products, the option to pan fry or bake is totally up to you. I like the ease of throwing everything into the oven and I love the resulting crispy samosa when it is finished. What I loved about this brand was their size first of all, literally the perfect size for a samosa. Two or three bites is what I like.

The inside was probably the best samosa filling I've tried in the frozen foods market. Typically, I find that these products have flavour but lack salt, this brand was especially flavourful and had the salt right on. The potato filling was fluffy, spicy, and perfectly seasoned. 
​
The price was perfect for the size of the bag and the ingredients list was short and without sciency sounding ingredients. Too many crazy ingredients is a red flag so the short ingredients list was a good thing for sure.

I strongly recommend picking up a bag on your next trip to the grocery store. They also offer non traditional flavours like Jalapeno & Cheddar and Mushroom & Swiss but I haven't been able to confirm that those are vegetarian. If you guys try them please shoot me a comment and let me know what you think!

Hey Rob!

I've yet to try another flavour since this post. It's unfortunate that the Jal Ched was so awful because the traditional ones were pretty delicious!

no, they were as terrible as my daughter warned me they'd be.

salty, doughy and with almost no filling. all the flavour is in the low quality spices.

I was delighted to find royal delight frozen mini beef samosas at super marche PA, so I bought 4 packs

Baked it according to instructions

All you taste is the wrapping
Pinch of beef which cannot even be tasted

Very bad and great money making way by cutting on the filling and giving us just the wrapper to taste

Extremely disappointed

Hey Liz!

Thanks for your message! I have only tried the original version and as this is a vegetarian site, will never have tried the beef. It's unfortunate that y'all have had such bad experiences because the original samosas were delicious!

Maybe it's best for companies to stick to traditional flavours! All the best to you!

I'm right with you, there Rob. Besides having no flavor, the pastry is totally wrong for a Samosa. I will never buy another from this manufacture.

This one is for Shimlafoods.com the producers of royal delight samosas

Please do not put your company name at risk

Fill up the samosas with more meat and less wrapper so that we can taste it

I wasted my money buying 4 packs of beef mini samosas which I can’t return

Thanks
Liz

I bought the "mushroom and swiss" someone says yesterday for a little get together with my family.
It said on the package there were approximately 25 pieces inside. I was very disappointed to see that there were only 12 pieces inside. (Big difference)

As for the product, I baked them as directed. Honestly, I could not taste any mushroom or any cheese in them there was no flavor at all.
So they were inexpensive, they were easy to bake, but I would not bother again.

Hey Tammy!

Thanks for sharing! I haven't tried any of the other varieties and after reading a lot of these comments, I don't think I'll be rushing to do so either!

All the best to you :)
