Viral Video: Indian Man Sells Samosas on London Train, Sparks Online Buzz

A video that has taken Instagram by storm shows an Indian man serving hot samosas to passengers on a London train, leaving viewers both amazed and amused. The man, owner of Ghantawala Bihari Samosa , was seen at South Harrow Underground Tube Station, carrying a tray of steaming samosas. “People here are no longer going to eat croissants, they will eat Bihari's samosas,” he declared in the clip.

The clip also captures him preparing fresh samosas in his kitchen before bringing them onto the train. He serves the snacks with mint and imli chutneys to passengers. Since the train was nearly empty and all the customers were Indian, it appears the video was likely shot to promote his restaurant rather than to sell samosas to every commuter.

The post quickly went viral, amassing 9.3 million views and sparking mixed reactions online. Some viewers found it embarrassing: "Bro, just for the sake of your sale, don't ruin the whole of India's respect," one wrote. Another added, "Made me embarrassed." A third commented, "Please tell me it's AI."




Others were amused or intrigued by the stunt. One viewer said, "Would love to try these samosas in Dubai." Another joked, "Reverse colonisation." Someone else added, "Imagine if samosas would actually replace croissants."

This isn’t the first time the restaurant owner gained attention. In September, he went viral for selling samosas on the streets of London, showing his flair for quirky promotions.

Whether seen as entertaining or controversial, the video has successfully put Bihari samosas in the spotlight, proving that a simple Indian snack can create a global buzz.
