Who is Goriya Devi? The Brit bringing Bihari samosas to London streets in the most unique way

A few months ago, a video of a man selling samosas inside a London train went viral and sparked a wide debate online. Many found it surprising. Many felt it looked staged. But one thing was clear. Bihari samosa had entered London’s viral food conversation.

Now, that conversation has taken a fresh turn. The setting has shifted from a train coach to the open streets. And this time, the face leading the buzz is a British woman dressed in desi attire, confidently selling Bihari samosas in London. She goes by the name Goriya Devi.

The latest clip, shared by Bihari Samosa UK, is gaining attention across social media and adding a new layer to the ongoing Bihari samosa trend in London.

A new chapter after the train video

The earlier train video had already made people curious about the Bihari samosa stall in London. Now, this new street clip brings back the spotlight.

In the video, Goriya Devi introduces herself with confidence. She says, “Goriya Devi aaj London ke streets mein Bihari samosa bechegi." The message is clear. She is ready to take the samosas directly to the people.

She is seen at the stall wearing a branded apron and cap. Fresh samosas are being fried and packed with green and red chutneys. The preparation looks organised and quick.

At one point, she turns to her co worker and says, “Jaldi jaldi banao, I need to go on streets babu." It shows her eagerness to step out and start selling.

Samosas on the streets of London

Soon, Goriya Devi walks out carrying trays of hot samosas. Instead of standing behind the counter, she moves through the streets herself.

Her voice stands out as she calls, “Samose Samose Bihari ke samose, Goriya ne parose." People nearby turn around to see what is happening. Some smile. Some stop to watch.

Gradually, a small group gathers around her. She serves customers one by one and asks them to wait patiently. The video shows people tasting the crispy samosas dipped in bright green chutney and tangy red sauce. Their reactions appear happy and satisfied.

The background is London, but the style and flavour reflect Indian street food culture.

A moment of devotion

During her round, Goriya Devi pauses near a Lord Shiv temple. She folds her hands and chants, “Har Har Mahadev," before moving ahead.

It is a short and calm moment in the middle of the busy street. It adds a cultural touch to the video without any drama.

Social media reactions

As the clip spread online, users quickly reacted. One person wrote, “Reverse colonisation." Another commented, “Brits in India dominated fields." A line that gained attention read, “Yeh log London ko Bihar bana dege!"

The reactions range from humour to cultural pride. The engagement shows that the video has clearly connected with viewers.
