Wow, this was so good! We got the vegetarian dinner for two that came with everything in the picture plus samosas and dessert. The food was incredibly tasty and the amount of food was so great for the price. We went with mild+, which wasn’t spicy at all, so we’d probably go with at least medium next time, but it was still super flavorful even though we didn’t get a spicy one. This was plenty for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow too. We will gladly come back! We got it as-is, but substitutions are allowed so you can keep things interesting.

My friend recommended Desi. She said its really good. We both like Indian food. Service was phenomenal. Food came out in a timely manner. I ordered Tikka Masala and my friend order something that the server recommended. My tikka was a bit too sweet but my garlic naan and samosa was really good. My friends food was a bit bland. She mentioned this to our service and he took it off the bill. The restaurant is pretty small and intimate could be a bit bigger but overall I def come here again for the tandoori.

The service was pretty quick and the food was good too. They mentioned the taste before confirming the order and the flavors were authentic Indian. Liked the bullet naan and samosa!

The reviews are confusing me or maybe I have to sit down in the restaurant and eat. I order chicken vindaloo and samosas. This tasted like the chipotle version of Indian food. How do you mess up a samosa?! Unseasoned and it had corn in it. Who adds corn to samosas?! The vindaloo also was pretty bland. The universe must have wanted to disappoint me this evening
