Miss Yusuf 4 week ago

"I have not made a samoosa at home for years and years because I know that whether I want to stock up for Ramadan, or I have unexpected guests and I need stuff immediately, or I'm hungry and I want a tasty (and cheap) snack on the road, I just go in to shaheenshas and I'm sorted. I love their range as well. I'm very proud to be a customer because they actually treat you like family when you go there.. Really well done.. I'll be in this weekend for next weeks iftaar stock."
