"We just ordered the Butter Masala, Saag, Chicken Biryani, Garlic Naan. All fantastic, hot, aromatic, spicy, flavorful, tender. Finally we have a go to place near us for Indian food. The only note was the Mango Lassi was too sweet and thick for my taste, but I don't like sweets and desserts. I can't wait to to try every on the Desi menu. "
"I had previously left a review because the chicken quantity in the biryani was disappointing. I’m happy to update my feedback after my latest order. This time the chicken biryani was excellent, with a generous quantity of chicken pieces and good overall quality. It’s great to see that customer feedback is being taken seriously. Thank you for the improved experience—keep up the good work!"

"Best Masala Tea ever! Food was amazingly good too. Highly recommend! "
"I will try to review each item. But overall as a foodie who likes to Resturant hop mostly remotely and dine in on occasion or if I hear good reviews, especially considering comfortable seating. But otherwise I stick to dining at home.
*overall I give this place a soft 2 because 1.5 wasn't available and I don't know how dine in experience is.
Specific menu item reviews will be under each item with pic.
*The Tea/chai beverage was NOT sealed which is gross, as we all know what human instinct has taught us all about not sealing beverages! But the delivery was cateful with the package so no mess, lucked out there.
* condiments & spoons were added so ok there.
* over tase of each item a hard 2. BUT again the mint lemonade had zero ice so it wasn't even cool let alone cold.. not sealed as well...
*beef keema I did not expect to be good, not great but good so thankful for that and reasonably good portion
Halwa was good but a solid 2 rating for this specific item because the taste of item dish as whole a 7 out of 10 at best. Cholay were watery, Ali tamari cut not how traditional Ali tarkari cuts are taste acceptable. Poor size was acceptable but not traditional poori taste, I'm guessing they chose a not so good quality ata (flour) to make the roti), it was still oily like how pooris are u healthy as hell but usually the taste is accepted by eater however taste was bland.
*tea was not sealed
* the maagi noodles, (cheap Desi ramen) were $6 and good portioned but tasted very bad and NO Indo-Chinese-Pakistani personalized twisted added to item what so ever
*a bit over priced and I know Inflation, DoorDash's cut that they take is an issue but I still consider a bit over priced considering taste being a 2 at best"

"First time trying this place. The samosas are large and so tasty. The only thing is that I have to put it back in the oven to toast them up because they got soft on their way here. Otherwise, excellent.
The lamb shank is tender, rice pilaf is done beautifully just heavy handed with the raisins. With the cucumber salad on the side, I got naan to go along with it. They didn't send the green sauce, which I would have liked to overall give the milk it's completeness. The lamb is very tender the bone falls right off."
"Approved By a true Afghani!
My 100% Afghani partner who came to the states from Afghanistan back in 2022 was at a truck stop resting in between trips and he was in the mood for Real Authentic Afghanistan food just like home.
The Kabuli pulao was excellent, he said the meat was fresh. This satisfied him and was authentic and approved.
(If you're new to Afghani food, your first try should always be the Kabuli Pulao, as that is Afghanistans national dish!)
The Naan was also perfect, he said it was "really good naan" - another approval!
Now he didn't order anything else, so we don't know how the rest of the food tastes, but if they got the Kabuli Pulao right then it deserves a 5 star rating !
The food came with salat (fresh veggies) on the side to crunch on between bites which gives to refreshness .
Portion was standard for Kabuli Pulao which is A Lot in my opinion. 2 people could share one portion if they wanted to.
Overall great place!"

"OMG! I love It!!!! the chicken is cooked amazingly and the curry sauce it's in is AMAZING the rice and Naan were amazing! I ate so much and would keep eating if my stomach allowed! very delicious and I've never ordered from here before or been here at all! I just wanted Butter Chicken (Makhani) and Naan you should try it "
"All of the sauces were good, but the amount of chicken provided in the butter chicken and the chicken Tikka masala was lacking. Three people shared the two chicken dishes plus a saag paneer, and I personally ate only two small cubes of chicken to allow enough for the other two. it was not enough."

"Oh my- this food was SOOOOO GOOOOD. The butter chicken was so flavorful and juicy! I ordered on a whim because I was hungry and didn't check the reviews until after I placed my order but the 5 star ratings are obviously true. 100/10 would order again. The plate was the perfect portion and I could tell it was made fresh. It didn't specifically say gluten free but I didn't have a reaction so do with that information what you will."

"Desi Veggie Patty (Vegan) was so good and the lightl crisp Crisp Onion Bhajia (Vegan)could have been fried a little harder for my taste. It was my first time or here Iwill definitely be ordering here again"
"This jeera aloo is very different from the photos from the restaurant. This isn't Punjabi style, there is no cumin here at all. Plus both dishes that I ordered (Onion bhajia and Jeera aloo) have no salt and no flavor whatsoever. An absolute waste of money. Vegan doesn't mean flavorless and these dishes are vegan by default if you follow the true Indian recipes!"
