This place sells five samosas for a buck—and they're actually good!

People line up to get samosas at Samosa King in Scarborough, and it's not hard to figure out why. The veggie samosas are five for a buck, a measly 20 cents. The meat samosas are two for a dollar.

Part of the Embassy Restaurant at 5210 Finch Ave. East, this place has beautiful displays of gorgeous looking Indian sweets. They're sickly sweet, but you have to appreciate the visual presentation.



They have heaps of other deep-fried goodies made of potato, lentil and chick peas that are pretty good. The main attraction, the samosas, don't disappoint. True, they are smaller than your standard samosa, but the dough is fresh and they're good and spicy.
