Desi Flavours Meet London Streets

The video captures her rushing her co-worker with a cheerful, “Jaldi jaldi banao, I need to go on the streets, Babu,” before heading out with trays of piping hot samosas.

Spotting a group of Indian foodies, she calls out, “Samose samose, Bihar ke samose, Goriya ne parose,” instantly grabbing attention. People stop, smile, and some even whip out their phones to capture the moment.

At one point, she pauses near a temple, folds her hands and chants, “Har Har Mahadev,” before getting straight back to business. “Mehenat karte hai ji,” she says with pride, and honestly, you can feel the hustle.

To top it off, she cheekily references the popular Bhojpuri track ‘Lallan Top Lagelu’, adding a fun cultural twist that viewers loved.

Internet Reacts: “Reverse Colonisation!”

The video has racked up praise and laughs online. Some users jokingly called it “reverse colonisation,” while others flooded the comments with support.

“Proud to be Bihari,” one user wrote.

“We are coming soon to try Bihari samosa,” commented another.

“Very good way of marketing and promoting your business,” said one impressed viewer.

And perhaps the most hilarious comment? “Yeh log London ko Bihar bana denge!”

The rise of Indian street food in London isn’t new, but Goriya Devi’s energy and unapologetic desi branding have clearly struck a chord. It’s not just about selling samosas, it’s about exporting culture, humour and regional pride to a global audience.
