Tasty Foods

Nestled in the heart of Mount Roskill, Auckland, Tasty Foods is a delightful gem for lovers of authentic Indian snacks and treats. Specializing in freshly made samosas and a variety of traditional sweets and snacks, this modest eatery offers a taste experience that warmly recalls the comfort of homemade cooking.

What truly sets Tasty Foods apart is their signature Butter Chicken Samosa—a masterful blend of rich, creamy chicken filling wrapped in a perfectly crisp, golden pastry that crackles satisfyingly with every bite. For vegetarian guests, the Crispy Potato Patty is a standout dish, boasting a delicate balance of soft mashed potatoes and fragrant spices encased in a crunchy shell. Every item on their menu is prepared fresh daily, ensuring vibrant flavors and that home-cooked quality you simply can’t replicate.

The aroma that greets you upon arrival is intoxicating: the subtle spice of cumin and coriander mingling with the buttery crispness of fried snacks. Whether you're craving the iconic samosa, indulging in sweet treats, or exploring their extensive bhuja (savory mix) selection, each bite is an invitation to savor authentic Indian flavors crafted with genuine care.

Tasty Foods’ dining experience may be unconventional—the premises are not open for casual walk-ins, and customers are kindly invited to ring the bell to be welcomed inside. This unique approach adds a personal and intimate touch, as the friendly and passionate owners often share stories behind their recipes, turning every visit into a memorable encounter.

The community’s appreciation speaks volumes: from customers like Sankarnarayanan Lakshmanan praising the fresh, homemade quality of every item, to Lisa Rose’s heartfelt thanks for their reliable support during fundraising events. Richard C’s serendipitous find of the “absolute best” samosas in Auckland further affirms Tasty Foods as a destination worth seeking out. The reputation stretches beyond Auckland, with patrons from Wellington and Hamilton making the journey for these beloved treats.

Whether you’re on the hunt for comforting snacks that burst with flavor or looking to support a business that blends culinary expertise with heartfelt hospitality, Tasty Foods at 34 Stoddard Road promises an experience both authentic and delicious—a true feast for the senses.
