Top five samoosas in Ballito
In need of a savoury snack? This is where you will find the best of the best.
Everyone loves those crispy triangles stuffed with goodness that fills the gap at any given time.
We went on a hunt for the best samoosas in town and we have found our five favourites:
Berni’s Home Industry and Coffee Shop
They have a sign outside their shop stating that they have the best samoosas… and they do!
You will need a little patience though, as they freshly fry your chosen samoosas, so don’t be in too much of a rush.
Pastry: Beautifully crisp, fresh, not greasy. They also have a special spice topping.
Filling: Moist, rich flavour with a kick that will make you fall in love with samoosas all over again.
Price: At R6 each, they are not the cheapest, but worth every cent.
Where: Top floor of the Ballito Bay Mall, check to Checkers.
TIP: The prawn samoosas are a must!
Cindy’s Umhlali Fresh Produce
Everyone’s favourite curry aunty, Cindy Valayadam, is also a samoosa queen.
Pastry: Crispy and not greasy.
Filling: Bursting with flavour, Cindy’s samoosas have a gorgeous blend of flavours with a special selection of spices.
