According to the Food Lover's Companion, samosas are "fried, triangular pastries that may be filled with vegetables or meat or a combination of both."
The samosa is of Indian origin; therefore the country where you're likely to be served one is... in India. In addition, samosas are also very popular in South Africa, which has a large Indian population.

∙ 14y agoAncient Arab cookery books of the 10th to 13th centuries refer to the pastries as 'sanbusak', 'sanbusaq' or 'sanbusaj', which originated from the Persian word, 'sanbosag'. In 1334, Ibn Battuta, a traveler, described the 'sanbusak' as minced meat cooked with almonds, pistachios, onions and spices, placed inside a thin envelope of wheat and deep-fried in ghee. The well-known poet of Delhi royalty Amir Khusrao, observed that the royalty relished samosas cooked with meat, ghee and onions. The Ain-i-Akbari also declared the samosa as a favourite snack.
