Samosa House (CLOSED)

What started as a large Indian market in Culver City has grown into a fantastic restaurant in Silver Lake, a cafeteria-style eatery serving incredible food. For vegetarians, it's a safe haven to find meat-free dishes that don't skimp on flavor. For non-vegetarians, well, it's just as enticing. Samosas are large and fried to perfection, and you can get your money's worth by opting for a combo platter: three sides with rice, bread and raita or soup. To wash it down, a mango lassi is your best bet (they even have a vegan version!).
