Samosa
I didn't know any different styles samosa before until I tried a beef samosa in Canadian Style Donuts, a coffee shop. It is very gooooooood!!! Now I know there are African samosa and Indian Samosa. I prefer Afican samosa, bigger, more flavors inside. Actually now I know, the samosa originate from North Arica, and mid-east, the Indian made some famous.

Sunrise (near Vic Park) and O'Connor - the Sultan of Samosas. These are fantastic and very traditional South African Indian Malay style. Light crispy pastry folded in the traditional way like a flag, fillings are tasty and fresh made all day long. The kitchen is easily visible, clean and fun to watch. Buy them by the dozen, mix them up and also available frozen if you feel up to frying them yourself. Great dips as well and breyani too! Take out only, usually a line-up but they're pretty quick and very nice too.

re: clcs
i second the sultan. they offer more than the standard beef or veg (fillings include potato/spinach and cheese, chicken, lentil)
the green dip they serve with the samosas is so delish.but beware! though i have never dared to ask myself, I have seen several customers experience the cashiers wrath for asking for extra dip. it was almost seinfeld-esque.

Samosa are common snack in South Asia, in countries such as Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. It is believed that it originated in Central Asia prior to the 10th century and not in Africa. Lot of Indians are in Africa for more than 200 years now....but they may have changed the style of samosa and making different kinds of Samosa....
if you like Vegi Samosa then try Embassy Sweets in Toronto, Cananda....in scarborugh....you will fall in love with samosa again.....hope you kee tryin different samosa and enjoy....

re: dahodking
I went to Embassy Sweets already, the Indian samosa is smaller than Arican, and they don't have beef samosa, the taste is entirely different.
And I want to tell you, the samosa originated in Egypt, North Afica, and Mid-East, not India. Because this food is from moslem coutries, all the Indian are Buddhist.
Hope u go to African community, you will enjoy the samosa
