Midtown Lunch

In the Summer of 2012, I noticed a woman selling Indian food outside of a corner store. Turns out Deb and her husband owned the corner store and were attempting to get more attention to the Indian food she had been making and selling inside. Since then, “Samosa Deb” had enough good feedback (I vouched for her!) to invest in a truck. She now sells her homemade Indian food around town, usually outside their Dasani Market on 9th and Catherine, on Temple’s Campus, and more recently over at the Drexel food truck mecca at 33rd and Arch. Samosa Deb is a total sweetheart and I love that she is succeeding in what she loves to do. But I loved her food first, so the bias is limited!

Before the truck was launched, I was crazy over the stuffed poori. Since they are a bit difficult to pull off in a truck, you won’t be finding these on the menu anymore. But it wasn’t hard to find something else.

Samosa’s Deb version of pakora was a nice surprise,  instead of whole battered and fried whole vegetables, a mix of shredded cabbage and other vegetables is blended together with some spices resulting in something like a fluffy falafel.

Not only is it a nice addition to have an Indian food truck, we won’t get bored of it. Deb is always thinking, for example, she came up with a cheesecake dessert samosas and a chicken tikka quesadilla.

I will keep yelling at Deb to make sure to update us all on her daily locations, so hopefully sending ya’ll to her twitter page will help you find her! (today is Drexel)
