The famous samosa definitely lives up to the hype! The mutton samosa was my favourite; crispy, flavourful, and generously filled. The sardine samosa was good too, but bit spicy Just a heads-up, parking is almost impossible around the area,…

I tried those Famous Samosa's on my last day in Penang.... The Mutton and the chicken were amazing, but they have many variety including vegetarian options. The masala they use inside is so flavorful.

A mention in Michelin guide. A plethora of Indian snacks that are pleasing to the eyes. Both sweet and savory options for one's choosing. Samosa skin was crusty yet light.
