If you've ever eaten a samosa at a Mumbai cinema, there's a fair chance it came from here. Guru Kripa in Sion – universally known as A1 Samosa – has been frying since 1975 and supplies single-screen theatres and multiplexes across the city, which tells you everything about the consistency of the thing.
The samosas are crisp and not too oily, and the samosa ragda and pattice are the orders to make. There are baked and Jain versions too, so most people find something. Expect a crowd – long queues on weekdays and weekends are part of the experience.
Local tip: It's a takeaway-style counter near SIES College in Sion; go with cash, order the samosa ragda, and be ready to wait at peak times.
