Samosa Factory

I was very excited to try out the Samosas here, but, the service was just horrible and the waiter seemed very rude. We went there for lunch and the lunch special menu looked OK. So we decided to order separate lunch specials. We asked the waiter that we are ordering individually and would like individual checks, but, the waiter was too dumb and rude to understand that. He kept pointing at the no separate checks sign on the wall, when we clearly mentioned that we are all gonna order a different dish and naan separately. He even said that we should get out of the restaurant and try the buffet across the street. I have never seen such pathetic hospitality in my life so far. That too opening an Indian restaurant and not knowing about the culture. We have a saying «Atithi Devo Bhava» which means that the guest is God and should be treated with courtesy, but, I am pretty sure the waiter knows nothing about that.
After that we went to Rani’s across the street and we were greeted with a smile and treated like a family member. And rani has authentic Indian food. tastes just like home. I have tried almost every Indian restaurant in the City so far and having so many options, I would go to Taj Palace, Ranis or India Masala for their amazing hospitality and authentic Indian food rather than Samosa factory… any day!

We first came here with a Groupon. the food and service was awesome. We have been back several times and took several friends about this place. I love the fact the owner greets customers and takes time to explain the menu.
I am delighted to add the Vegan menu here to one of my favorites!

Want to eat at a place where the food is consistently delicious? This is the place.
My family and I have been here 3 times now and it never disappoints. All 3 times we have been served by the owner who is amazing! Great service and he called my daughter by name all night, which she loved!
Samosas are incredibly delicious. We had the beef and lamb this time. I swear, one day I’m getting like 8 of these and that’s all.
My husband had the chicken curry — extra spicy. My daughter and I shared the tikka masala– very mild. Portions are big and we had some left over. The naan is cooked to perfection. I suggest ordering lots, as it’s perfect for sopping up the sauce from your meal.
My family and I will be back again and again and I suggest you go too!

Went to the Samosa Factory with a dear friend for lunch. She was greeted by the staff and we were ushered to her usual table by the window.
The server was courteous and attentive. Unfortunately, the fare was not as commendable.
I ordered the lamb curry ($ 8.95) lunch special; A hot chai tea ($ 2.50); and vegetable chaat samosa ($ 6.95).
The chaat arrived first, a heaping plate of green chutney, creamy yogurt, and innumerable other colors and flavors. The chaat was just okay. Try the chaat at Mount Everest down the road to see what real chaat should taste like.
The chai tea arrived after. A big steaming cup with a dollop of curdled cream floating on top. This was so disappointing. It is impossible to find good chai in Las Vegas. Does not taste like Indian chai tea.
Next the lamb curry arrived with a heaping scoop of jasmine rice. It was bland and unenjoyable.
My friend enjoyed her chicken tikka masala and naan. I tried the naan and it was hot and fresh, though a bit thin and crispy.
There are too many excellent Indian food options in Las Vegas to return to Samosa Factory.

This casual, 9-​table restaurant was busy on this Thursday evening, but we lucked out by securing a table. The owner provided menus with us choosing to share orders of lamb spinach, butter chicken and Kashmiri naan. The lamb was tender, but the spinach was on the runny side. The chicken in the butter chicken was on the tough side. Overall our meal was pretty good, but a notch below the best so our search for a great Indian restaurant in Las Vegas continues.
A rating of 2.5 would be appropriate.

I was truly excited to try Samosa Factory after reading the rave reviews and receiving a recommendation from a friend. Since their page states that they do not take reservations, I figured it would be a casual establishment and that coming with a group wouldn’t be an issue. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty with just one pair dining. The gentleman that greeted us was accommodating in bringing tables together for us, however, it seemed like he had expected us to call ahead and made a comment about our group size, adding that it was a good thing it was early (5 pm). We thought this was odd given the «no reservations» situation.
When most of our group arrived, we were approached by the same gentleman to take drink orders. Then, when we had everyone, he came to take our appetizer order. Since I was at the other end of the table near the kitchen, I couldn’t hear him, nor did he make an effort to be heard (he stood at the end of the table and didn’t bother coming around or closer to the other end). He didn’t smile once, he was lukewarm, and seemed bothered. He acted the same way as our evening continued, seeming unhappy to even serve us. We didn’t feel very comfortable or welcome. The same gentleman was very warm and friendly to a couple that sat down at the table next to us, even sitting with them for a moment, so it was apparent that he was capable of these positive behaviors. It was just odd. There was another young woman that assisted us as well and thankfully, she was kind.
Food-​wise, my fiancé and I ordered Lamb Samosas, Garlic Naan, and Butter Chicken (Makhani). We also tried the Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Korma, and Quesadilla Naan from our friends. Everything was okay — unimpressive and not as good as what I’ve had at other Indian restaurants. I was really disappointed with the Chicken Makhani because that’s one of my favorite Indian dishes and this version didn’t do it any justice. Also, I wasn’t wow-​ed by the samosas or the chutney. The Quesadilla Naan was surprisingly good and I liked the Tandoori Chicken.
Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t a good one with disappointing food and service. My friends and I still enjoyed ourselves, so it wasn’t a complete disaster. By the way, the restaurant didn’t fill up in the two hours we were there, so there were no issues with space.

I love this place! I drive from Centennial Hills just to get some amazing food from them. Everything is amazing. Butter Chicken and Malai Kofta Korma (vegetarian) are some of my favorites… Don’t forget your veggie samosa or the mango lassi. Amazing. The food is always so fresh and perfect each time! The owner is also super friendly and they have excellent service! Make a point to visit them and get some yummy food :)

We bought groupons as we were sitting at the restaurant, excited for the deal. Then we loaded up on orders to our max. Unfortunately there is only one groupon allowed per table says the owner with a stick up his butt. This was our first time at this restaurant and the owner served us. He stuck to his guns and would not budge on letting us use 2 groupons, even though he openly admitted to being able to make an exception. We will not go again and definitely not recommending to anyone. Food wasn’t even very good. No spices and pop that you grow accustomed to in a good Indian dish. The owner looks like he’s from ohio, not bombay.
**Revised 12÷5÷13
I think it’s completely unprofessional that the OWNER complains about not getting a tip when he was a dick to us. How about learning some customer service before entering in the retail food industry.
Much better Indian restaurants in Vegas by far!
Try these for tasty, authentic Indian food and unconditionally friendly service:
1. The Mint — Flamingo and Maryland
2. Mount Everest — Sahara and Arville
3. India Masala — Flamingo and Swenson
4. India Palace — Twain and Paradise
I will never go back to Samosa Factory and urge you not to patron this poor excuse for a restaurant. Some people are not suited to be in front of customers. Rick, the owner here, believes the customer is always WRONG. Not the way to win repeat or new business.

We bought a groupon and thought this place must be awesome for all the great reviews on Unilocal.
The place was certainly a hole in the wall. The folks that work there were super nice. We ordered a veggie samosa which was great.
We ordered Chicken Vindaloo– tasted bland and tomatoey. No real Indian spices popping out or any hint of tartness. I’m from San Francisco and we dine at Naan and Curry all the time and their vindaloo was my gateway to Indian Cuisine. I order it at other places and it’s great. The chicken was half a breast cut into slithers. No real chunks of bone and meat. There were several pieces of potato in there. It was like half a potato all together. It tasted like a Filipino goat stew but more bland.
The lamb kabob was bland too, no real Indian spices popping out. It was like one kabob cut into sauce like slices mixed in this tomatoey sauce with red peppers. It was sweet and bland.
The samosa was great but I couldn’t taste any heart in the meal. No tart, no spices. The people that worked there were again very nice and great at explaining things and talking with us. It was quiet pricey too.

Unilocal you disappointed me tonight.
You know if the restaurant is run by people whose ethnic background does not match the food, something is bound to go wrong. (Sorry, just a stereotype of mine I cannot break)
Anyways, we decided on Indian for dinner tonight, and I suggested to try Samosa Factory as I had bookmarked this place for quite some time. The restaurant had mostly positive reviews which is what convinced me to stray from our usual Indian joint.
The restaurant itself is small. Definitely a «hole in the wall» type of place. We were greeted by this a large caucasian man, definitely NOT what I was expecting at an Indian restaurant. Not sure if he was the owner. but in addition to seating us, he took our order, and served us our meal.
We order the chicken tikka masala, shrimp vindaloo, and garlic naan. Both entrees served with basmati rice.
The chicken tikka masala was NOT what we were expecting. Prepared completely different from any other Indian restaurant we’ve ever tried. I was expecting yummy curry sauce, but this hardly had any. Although it wasn’t badly prepared, it just wasn’t up to our liking. The shrimp vindaloo was nothing spectacular either. This had more curry sauce than the chicken tikka masala, but nothing impressive. I like curry sauce to be thick, this was more watery. Lastly, the garlic naan and basmati rice were just average. I didn’t care of the naan because it was thin and dry as opposed to thick and fluffy like how we are used to having at Mt. Everest.
Sigghh. what a disappointing meal. Sorry to say, we won’t be coming back.

The vegan roti (bread) and spinach tomato curry here were excellent. It was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, you have to drive here, so it’s not convenient if you are staying on the strip. It’s in a strip mall and easy to miss.

Really, really, really cannot say enough about how much I love this place! The best Indian food I have had in Las Vegas by FAR! If you are new to indian food and want something different but tasty I can always recommend the lamb korma, it’s perfect! With a side of garlic nan, some samosas (of course), and mango lassi this is my favorite dinner. If I was on death row, I may very well pick Samosa Indian Factory for my last meal.
Their restaurant is tiny, but I like it! It doesn’t feel overly crowded but actually cozy. I really can’t say enough good things about this place.

This place is the bombay digity!
Located on Sahara and Decatur, this small restaurant will give you a cultured taste of India.
The place is small and very CLEAN! which is a must in my restaurant world.
I was greeted by a very nice helpful waitress who took the time to explain their menu and the pronunciation of each dish.
I ordered the Spinach Paneer. I’m a huge fan of spinach, and this put me into cloud 9. The dish consisted of spinach and tofu, and some type of sauce. im really clueless when it comes to indian food, i just ask what’s in it and i eat it!
haha!
Also along with the paneer i had the Garlic Naan, It’s good to have with your paneers they compliment each other.
For dessert I had the Keer, which was some sort of rice pudding with berries on top very delish as well!
Samosa is also vegetarian/​vegan friendly which is what drawn me to the place, me being a transitional vegetarian/​vegan, i was curious what options i had in an indian restaurant .
Overall i was satisfied with the service and the food, they also have lunch specials during lunch time, i did not even bother to look at that, but will give it a try when I go back!

We came here because the first time we tried comin it was closed (closed on Sundays).
We ordered the beef samosas– they were light, crisp and filled with beef and cheese. It seemed like cheddar cheese was in it? Not sure. Could have been a special cheese. They were really good.
I do however, think this place is what the others were saying it is. Bland. I ordered the Malai Kofta Korma and it just kept trying to eat more of the sauce to get more flavor, but then I realized, that’s what it was lacking and I wasn’t going to get anymore of it.
My bf ordered the tandoori chicken, and the serving size was definitely generous. It was almost looked like a little less than a whole chicken cut up and served on a warm platter.
The tandoori chicken was actually good and had flavor, the garlic naan was really good too.
I wish my Malai Kofta tasted better :(I always get that at Indian restaurants so I have something to base it off of. I also wished they would have asked us our desired spice levels as other Indian restaurants do.

Although we don’t frequent Indian restaurants very often, we decided to pop in for a little snacky-​snack.
We just needed something to hold us over for dinner, so we got the Pakora, and Chicken Samosas. Both dishes were very delicious– Crispy outside, soft and flavorful inside and the dips and chutneys were also addicting!
Looking forward to returning to try other items when we’re in the mood for some Indian eats… ALOHA!!!

This place is called Samosa Factory for a reason. The samosas are AMAZING! They come with a tasty cilantro chutney and a tamarind chutney. 2 per order and they are a very good size. Really worth the $ 3.50-$ 4.50 price.
They also have some unique items, such as masala fries covered in cilantro, onions, and come with a BBQ-​cilantro-​ginger sauce. Very tasty.
I’ve never been impressed with their curries. A little bland for my taste. But they do have a lot of vegan options, which is nice.
Staff has always been friendly. Great place!

So figured we would check this place out, since I have had an Indian craving for a while, and we have not yet had any here in this city.
The location is in a strip mall. When you first enter, you basically walk right into the main dining area. If there are others sitting down, you kind of end up standing right over them it seems, so it’s a little uncomfortable in that aspect. The place is pretty compact too, so it has the feel more of a dive joint versus a restaurant atmosphere.
When we entered, there was no one to greet us, so we were kind of standing there for a couple of minutes — before we decided to help ourselves to a table. At that point one of the servers came out and said it needed cleaning and that they would be with us in a few. Which they cleaned up right away for us, so no biggy. Just awkward standing there, as there was another table with at least 4 individuals whom we were sort of interrupting their dining experience by us being right behind their chairs. Not much to be done expect for expansion, but don’t see that happening in the near future.
Walls are painted bright orange, with modern art pieces adorning one wall. The built wall to separate the kitchen from the restaurant has a glass décor piece with etched art of elephants, which behind lies indian prints. Above are tapestries with traditional style indian sewing pieces.
We were seated soon enough upon entering. We ordered Chicken Jalfrezi, Veggie Kofta Curry (the veggie meatball looking things in a very yummy curry sauce), Garlic Naan, Kashmiri Naan, with a lamb type of dumpling appetizer.
I would give this place a 3.75 for service, but can’t separate the ratings; and a 4 for the food itself.
Appetizer came out really fast. Wasn’t expecting the lamb to be ground up, and when we bit into it — was actually pretty dry. Ya had to have the sauce with it, in order to get past the dryness. Then we seemed to wait and wait, and wait, and wait for our food to come out. So I do have to ding them on service. Getting past the wait time, once the food came out — yumminess! The Veggie Kofta were very tender, melted in your mouth, and the creaminess of the curry was sublime! The Chicken Jalfrezi also a hit — a bit more watery than I was expecting to be honest. And it’s flavors seemed to remind me of a homemade Italian tomatoe sauce (nothing wrong with that at all), just was hoping for a touch more of the Indian flavors in that dish. But still a delightful taste in my mouth.
Naan wise — hubby was diggin the garlic naan to no end. Light in texture, just the right amount of garlic, and perfectly soft. I was reaaaally liking the Kashmiri Naan. I’m not sure what type of bean they used, but there is a sweet bean inside — reminds me of the ones used in the chinese dumplings, in conjunction with onion, and a hint of garlic. Now combine that with a taste of curry or the chicken — and YUUUUUUMY!
I will say — for those with small ones this is not the type of place you wish to bring the ants in your pants child along. With the cramped space it is easy to disrupt the dining experience of others if they get too feisty, or want to go running around a table say.

I’ve been here SEVERAL times for lunch in the last few years and I resent Misti for saying that it’s not the «best lunch decision» Okay I don’t really resent it because I see where she’s coming from, but based on my experiences it’s still one hell of a lunch decision!
I usually end up doing take out but have dined in as well. I’ve tried many items from the lunch specials to the entrees and have never had anything I disliked. My favorite item, the Baby Spinach Curry happens to reside on the lunch special menu so bonus for me. With that you get a healthy serving of rice that you can smother with the tangy tomato curry sauce the baby spinach will be drenched in. GET IT SPICY. I find it most enjoyable when you get the perfect mix of curry and sweat dripping from one’s brow. I also order a side of Regular Naan and substitute the ghee butter for EVOO. Dip that right into the curry or make a little pita out of it and go to town on it like I do (unless there are people watching).
Also a fan of their veggie samosas (if you put it in the name of your restaurant, it better be good), and their chicken curry is good as well. Oh and Veggie Kofta Curry. I have no idea what exactly that is, but it was delicious. Kinda like little vegetarian meatballs or falafel but in a delicious curry sauce.
Rick is always great and I’ve never had an issue with the service, though on days where it’s packed he can sometimes be stretched a little thin and it can take a little longer that way. As an aside I also once saw him go outside and lay the smackdown on a few crackheads that appeared to be camping outside of his door and blocking the entrance/​exit. So tip him well, I don’t know what his breaking point is.

I’ve had my eye on Samosa Factory for some time, but finally got around to trying it last night when our first choice for dinner was closed for the holiday.
We entered the small dining area and were greeted by the incredibly friendly server. We told him we wanted to order our food to-​go and he still offered us two glasses of water and a starter to nibble on while we perused the menu. We settled on the Lamb Vindaloo and the Chicken Tikka Masala. We also ordered some garlic naan. Our server was incredibly personable and offered us refills on our water while we waited as well as made some idle chit chat with us.
Once our food arrived, we paid our bill and off we went with our food. The server also offered us a to-​go menu for our return visit. Great customer service!
My fella and I dug into our meal as soon as we got home. The spice level was just right. We ordered the medium spice level to be on the safe side on our first visit. The garlic naan was delicious and I really enjoyed the rice. The flavors were right on and I look forward to a return visit to hopefully eat in the restaurant and try some of their samosas. The food is not cheap, but I didn’t feel it was overly expensive for the quantity and quality of food we got.
Definitely a great Indian option in a town that is lacking.

Very friendly service and lovely food. We got the garlic naan, lamb curry, okra, and paneer mahkni. Sauces were tasty and all was delicious. The rice pudding with blueberry topping was DIVINE. I’m lactose intolerant and ate nearly everything myself. Holy cow. Yeah, no kidding, the ‘best rice pudding in the world.’ I concur.
Difficult to locate this place if you don’t know where to look. It’s in the strip mall directly west of the Panda Express on Sahara. The exterior isn’t anything to write home about, but the interior is tastefully decorated and smells wonderful.
I want more rice pudding!
