World of Samoosas

I’m Nick Hamman and I’m looking for the best samosas in South Africa and today your comments have sent me to the famous World of Samoosas in The Oriental Plaza in Fordsburg. The classic triangular pastry filled with savoury ingredients like minced meat or chicken spiced potatoes, corn and cheese and fried until crispy is often considered a fast-food, but here they’re seen as a proud delicacy of India. Opting for a takeout option, my box of 6 included lemon and chili sauce as well as a lesser spotted, sweet coconut samoosa. Tried and tested as one of the oldest shops in the plaza, the family-run business is an entrenched part of the fabric of the community and the samoosas are good, but if they're not the best let me know where I'm going next.
