Little Pakistan Deli

I live close by, so I thought I’d stop by to try the samosas here.
The vegetable samosas are soft, and very doughy. They’re filled with potatoes, peas, and this wonderful spice that gives it a little something. But the man working didn’t heat them up very well, so the lacking freshness definitely affected the taste. Either way, it’s pretty cheap ($ 1 each for vegetable samosas, and $ 1.50 for chicken) and decently sized. If you’re ever in a scrap and want something to eat, this place will cover you.

I was so excited to see this place less than a block away from my new apartment. It was my first stop for groceries, and went in to get eggs, butter, bananas, milk and something for lunch. When I went to grab a carton of milk from the fridge in the back, I bent over and found a gallon of milk so far gone that there were huge black chunks floating around on it. However, I am apparently too dumb to realize that a place that keeps epically rancid milk is not to be trusted. I swear one day I am going to qualify for the Darwin Awards.
I picked out some milk with a later expiration date, and then got my eggs and butter. It was only when I got home that I realized that the eggs were OVER A WEEK PAST THEIR EXPIRATION DATE, and that the butter was not in fact butter, but a butter ‘mix.’ Ok, so maybe that last one was my fault for not reading the label (although it’s pretty weird to have all that butter mix and no butter). But the eggs???
To top it all off, the person who rang me up was rude and actually rolled his eyes at me when I asked him to repeat the price. The chickpeas I got for lunch were mediocre. I am actually stunned that this place hasn’t been shut down by the city for violating food codes. Stay away for your own health!

I work very close to this place and always recomend it to friends and always tip the guys there even though they are not friendly. I just want to be eccepted everywhere anyway. I don’t particularly like whitey either so I put up with it.
The other night I went over late and got a couple chicken sticks and the guy taking them out of the case went out of my view for a few seconds behind the counter and his buddy started to giggle! Maybe rolled it on the floor or rubbed it on his shoe or licked it, I have no idea.
I stared his buddy down until his smile dropped and the guy handling my food couldn’t even look at me while he rang me up. I was actually hurt and confused and thought maybe I did something to offend these guys. I put a buck in the jar, left and threw my food away.
Now looking back I am furious and will keep everyone I know out of this place. DO NOT FUCK WITH MY FOOD!

YES. Five stars for ²⁴⁄₇ ONE DOLLAR SAMOSAS.
My favorite samosas ever (more on the bready/​soft side than crispy, which is my preference). Get vegetable, not meat. They store wonderfully in the fridge, are good cold or room temperature, or piping hot as they heat them up in the microwave for you.
I have gotten so many over the years when I was low on money, or drunk, or tired, or craving that wonderful coriander-​spiced potato filling… For a long time I would literally wake up in the middle of the night craving these samosas.

Quick, close, cheap and open late. Not really sure what they’ll have at any given moment. Nice and spicy like it should be.

love me some cheap utz salt and vinegar chips

Super. Why? The food in the counter is awesome. Specifically the desert stuff– they sell they pastries that are essentially balls of dough soaked in sugar water ($ 1) that I was addicted to when I spent a semester in London. It was the happiest accident ever when I discovered that they sell them here. Be adventurous and try the one that looks like orange tubing– you won’t regret it.
