Every time I find myself even remotely near Culver City, I make sure to swing by the best Indian restaurant in town–Samosa House. Recently I had a meeting on the west side so I stopped in to try their veggie burger which has been making the rounds on the blogosphere lately. Like most Samosa House patrons, I always opt for the combo platter and pay little attention to the other menu items. I am so happy that Quarrygirl ventured off the beaten path to bring this little gem to our attention, because it is insanely delicious.
The burger tastes like an Indian version of a Big Mac–and I mean that in the best possible way. It’s not a giant gourmet veggie burger like you might get at Flore or M Cafe. It’s similar to a more pedestrian burger in size and texture. The patty is made of potatoes and whole cashews and is slathered with a crunchy peanut concoction as well as onions, tomatoes, and spices. There are so many layers of flavor. I simply cannot recommend this burger enough. If you are driving down Washington Boulevard anytime soon, you must stop in and pick one up. And at $3.99 a pop, it shant break the bank!

You know I’ve heard of the place. I’ve been wanting to give it a try. I don’t go by the area too often, but I’ll definitely venture there the next I travel that direction. Which I’m hoping will be soon. ;-D
Is all that greenery cilantro?
A potato-cashew patty? Yum!

Oh my LORDY. Meow, sexiest burger I’ve laid my eyes on in quite some time… but then I am easy whenever one can describe something as being “slathered” with a “peanut concoction”.
xox
I agree this burger is great! I go here maybe three times per month, and I get the burger every time. Even if I only eat half, it holds up amazingly well in the fridge!
BTW, this place was PACKED last night. Line almost out the door. I couldn’t believe it.
