Kebab Samosa
Samosa Kebab is a highly recommended dish for non-veg foodies. The samosa here is unlike anything we’d expect—It’s a doughnut-sized, disc-shaped, fluffy bread served alongside a fried kebab and a dollop of fresh chutney.
As for the kebab, it’s not the usual Galawat version; this one features a mix of minced meat, gram, and spices.
