So, I just got back from the Pearl Market, and I had to sit right down and tell everyone to get there on their lunch break for some Nellie’s Samosas. I am always lamenting our lack of street food here in Cbus, so when I saw the samosas I was excited.
The samosas are fried fresh and they have this amazingly arromatic spice blend, and are only slightly spicy. There’s a nice little hot aftertaste, but the chai cooled it right down. I had the meat version, but they also have a vegetarian version. They are served with lemon wedges which they encourage you to squeeze over the pastry.

They also have freshly made iced chai which is very good. The woman in line in front of me said it tasted just like the chai in India. It was spicy and not too sweet, strong on the tea and refreshing. I am sure it will be welcome on days when it is really sweltering.
2 palm-sized samosas are $4, Iced Chai was $2.50, so the snack (which could be lunch for some) was $6.50. totally worth it for the homemade treats. And if you are scared to buy, they have tiny little sample-sized samosas.
Please support small upstarts like this! They make our city a better place!
Nellie’s Samosa’s stand is located just north of Ringside, on the same side of the alley
+1 they were great
going to go get them now!
Going there now!
I’m not downtown.
Why did you have to do that to me!!!
I love, love, LOVE samosas.
Ugh…so hungry now.
I see a lunch break in my near future…
Looks delicious! :shock:
Serendipity!! Just heading down in a half-hour or so to sample Brioso coffee and have some Arepazo. Thanks, Lisa!
Bear (and any other goat lovers) – There is a vendor there who sells frozen goat! Just so you know!
Mmmmm … goatsicle.
It was great. I hope they do well. Only thing missing was CHUTNEY.
I’ve had goat at a few places in the DFW area and it was always sooo good. I wish I knew how to prepare it. I’d buy some.

MMM, I’m thinking goat roast in Merc’s backyard this summer. He already has a fire pit and I bet Sherm can make us a spit :)

Waiting for bear to pop up with his smoked goat.

^^^^ That gives me a funny mental picture.
I’m stupid and can’t stop laughing.
Smoked goat would be delish though. I would eat it once I stop laughing.
They are perfect. I couldn’t believe how light they tasted, even with all that content and spice. Great munchies.
Aargh — missed the goat!! But got the samosas, which were delicious. I told the two ladies there that the word about their tasty snacks had spread via Columbus Underground, courtesy of the Restaurant Widow, and they were wide-eyed with amazement (a) that word could possibly spread so quickly, and (b) that people would be kind enough to go out of their way to promote their business for them without any prompting. They asked us to convey their sincere thanks, which I am happy to do.
You know it, baby. I bet I can fit six boneless shoulders into the Rocket, all at once. Now that’s a party.

I know you live close. Michael told me. Don’t make me hunt you down. I will eat your rocket goat.
No worries any time soon, for two reasons. One, Blues Creek can only produce two goat shoulders per week, ‘cuz that’s all the shoulders a goat has. Unless there are other purveyors, but I’m not sure about the quality of the meat I’d get elsewhere (not meaning to cast aspersions — just very happy with BC). Two, having just hosted a string of gatherings and had my parents in town, I’m going to have to let my bank account recharge a bit before a goat blowout is in the cards.
But rest assured, rocket goat will happen. It’s just a matter of time.
goat blowout
I have no words for this.
Being a samosa lover, I’m going to end up here soon enough. I saw them last week, but I was getting groceries, needed bread for sandwiches. With the market going on now, that must explain the Mennonite in a straw hat and full beard biking down the sidewalk. Another plus for Downtown.
