Samosa is one of Pakistan’s most beloved snacks, enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether served with tea or as an evening bite to satisfy hunger, samosas are a staple in street food culture. In this taste test, we tried three samosas from different price ranges – a Rs 30 cheap samosa, a Rs 60 medium samosa from Gujranwala’s famous Qadri Samosa, and a Rs 420 expensive samosa chaat from Mastani brand. Let’s see which one wins in terms of taste, quality, and value.
Rs 30 Samosa – Cheap but Tasty
First, we tried the Rs 30 cheap samosa. The price was very low, but surprisingly, the taste was good. The packaging was simple and basic, without any fancy touch, but the spice balance was decent, and it had a nice crispiness. Every bite gave the feel of a traditional samosa. This was a value-for-money option, especially for those looking for a budget-friendly snack without compromising too much on taste.
Rs 60 Samosa – Gujranwala’s Famous Qadri Samosa
Next, we tried the Rs 60 medium samosa, purchased from Gujranwala’s renowned Qadri Samosa Waly. This samosa was far superior to the cheap one in terms of taste. The crispiness was perfect, the filling had a rich flavor, and the spice balance was spot on. Every bite felt fresh and full of flavor. For its price, this was an excellent choice that offered both great taste and quality.
Rs 420 Samosa – Mastani Brand’s Disappointment
Finally, we tried the Rs 420 expensive samosa chaat from the Mastani brand. Unfortunately, this turned out to be the most disappointing experience. To start with, we had to wait 45 minutes before it was served. When it finally arrived, the taste was unsatisfying. The flavor of the filling was unusual, with a slightly sweet taste that traditional samosa lovers would find odd. The spice blend wasn’t balanced, and overall, it failed to justify its high price in both flavor and presentation.
Winner – Rs 60 Qadri Samosa 🏆
After comparing the taste, presentation, and value of all three samosas, the clear winner was the Medium Rs 60 Qadri Samosa. It was more flavorful and fresher than the cheap samosa, and far superior to the expensive Mastani samosa in every aspect. The crispiness, perfect spice balance, and overall eating experience made it stand out as the best choice.
