Samosa Joes
Inside Samosa Joes
Samosa Joes is a cozy, family-run spot in Vernon that nails a specific niche: Indian-inspired snacks and casual eats, especially samosas that locals find hard to come by in the Okanagan. Located right on 27th Street, this place leans into authentic flavors with a modern twist, making it a go-to for those craving a quick, flavorful bite rather than a full-service dining experience.
The atmosphere here feels warm and informal, reflecting the friendly nature of the owner, Joe, who seems genuinely invested in making customers, including families with kids, feel comfortable. It’s the kind of spot where you can grab a few samosas for a snack or pick up something a little larger like their poutines, which put an Indian spin on a local comfort food favorite — think Butter Chicken Poutine or a vegetarian Go-To like Chole (chickpea) Poutine. The menu is uncomplicated but focused, suited to people looking for approachable dishes with bold spices.
Locals and visitors alike tend to stop by to satisfy specific cravings, especially for samosas with thin, crispy pastry and rich fillings. The place works well for a casual lunch or an afternoon pick-me-up, with many customers appreciating the opportunity to try different sauces and even enjoy little touches like ice cream for the kids. It’s not a spot for lingering with a large group, but more for quick, flavourful takeout or a light meal.
Whether you’re a fan of Indian snacks or just want something different from the usual sandwich or burger, Samosa Joes offers a reliable stop in Vernon. Ideal times to visit are midday or early evening, when you can count on fresh batches of samosas and other street-food style dishes. The vibe suits those who want quality comfort food with authentic Indian spices, paired with genuine local hospitality that makes it feel like a community fixture rather than just another takeout joint.
