Samosa

Any good samosa take-out Indian grocery shop in the Schaumburg area?

Oooh. Good thread. Good thread indeed. I'm not very familiar with the Schaumburg area Indian grocers, but I do pass through quite a bit for work. I hope you don't mind expanding the area (a bit,) but I bet there won't be a glut of GOOD places, and I am interested in those as well.
I'll share one that's outside the area sought. I thought these were REALLY good, and sneaky hot. The vegetarian ones only. The meat ones were not nearly as good:

A 1 Indian Groceries

Westmont, IL 60559

Tiny little place that is PACKED with stuff.
I haven't found any that are better than these yet. Always looking, tho. Really excited to see more responses.

Not a grocery, but a snack shop, Milan Chat at 927 Golf Rd. in Schaumburg has really good Samosa. Even better is their "Samosa Chat", a dish featuring crisp samosa covered in a delectable garbanzo gravy. With a side of freshly fried puri, this is just about the perfect thing on a January afternoon.

Seconded, if only on the Samosa (not tried their Samosa Chaat). Was
there a few months ago, and got one of the better samosas Ive gotten
anywhere in a while - maybe I was just lucky with timing (on a Saturday
afternoon IIRC) as they had just come out of the fryer, but the version
I tried was quite excellent.

BTW, am not sure this is still Schaumburg - bang across the street is
Bamboo Garden (probably the best Indian-Chinese restaurant in
the Chicagoland area, even if that isnt saying *that* much).. and I
know that on menus the official address of Bamboo Garden at least
is listed as Hoffman Estates.

P.S. Also on Golf Road, but in Arllington Heights, is Manpasand Carryout.
Its been rec'd on here recently for unusual Kerala and Andhtra type
cuisine.. but they also have the simple samosas etc, and from memory
they were quite decent too, though its been a while (they are in
Arlington Heights, on Golf Road, right by the Valli's).

Another place worth checking out in the area is Vishnu foods on Algonquin just off Quentin Rd., just next to Sizzle India (which seems to have declined somewhat recently). This is a grocery with a full kitchen. They make a number of prepared dishes packed for take out including Samosas. Everything I've tried has been good. The jelabi are particularly outstanding. They also sell Idli and dosa batter/dough to make at home. I haven't tried this, but the idea is intriguing.

I also agree about Bamboo Garden. Much better than Hot Wok down the street.
