My wife, two daughters, and I came here for the first time and we were all incredibly impressed. There was nothing that disappointed us. The variety of naan was wonderful (onion was out of this world). Heat levels are great for Western palates because medium isn’t crazy hot, but adds a nice spice while hot has a very very nice kick that doesn’t ruin the flavor. Sadly, I wasn’t brave enough to try the extra hot, so I can’t comment on that. We shared Butter chicken, Chicken shahi kurma, Chicken tikka masala, and Malai kofta. We had a hard time deciding what our favorites were because they were all so good!. The prices are fantastic. Our server Bindu (Bindoo?) was super knowledgeable about every single dish all the way down to every step of preparation. She was absolutely amazing! And I have to mention the anroma and cleanliness of Desi. They were exceptional! Before coming here, we stopped at another Indian restaurant called Minerva that’s only about 10 minutes from home. It was dark, the guy at the register acted like we were interrupting his phone conversation, it smelled stale and a little musty, and it looked dirty (I’m thinking it was dark to hide the dirt). At Desi, we walked in and the aroma was so inviting! It’s a wonderful smell that makes you even hungrier and excited for your meal! And it’s so clean, too! We will absolutely be back!! Thank you for such a wonderful meal!

If I had an option to give half star I would not even give that. Horrible food quality. It’s a same Minerva restaurant with same bad quality. I am sure there is a food safety issue. Our food tasted very old. Butter chicken tasted very bad and old. Baby corn majestic was very spicy and soggy and didn’t look appetizing at all. Please don’t fall for the new name but it’s a same old horrible restaurant. Very very disappointed 😠😠

Positives:
Food was fresh.
Too many options in buffet.
Veg biryani was awesome.
Can be improved:
Naan was over and it took 10 min to refill.
Only paneer and aaloo sabji available for veg main course. Please add more options.
Gajar halwa was extra sweet.
Overall nice experience. Definitely recommended.

Horrible service, waiter only came to the table 2 times! The food tasted days old and everything we ordered was either over cooked or not the spice level we asked for.
