I do like Indian food, though I have probably only been to around 10-15 other Indian restaurants overall. Desi is by far the best one I have eaten at - it's not even close.My favorites are the Gobi Manchurian appetizer, the Samosas, and the onion pakora.Never had anything but good service - super friendly and we are so very lucky to have them in RB.“

“Undiscovered restaurant. Very good. Please visit this place to support the nice staff and cook.Better than most Indian and Nepalese and himalayan restaurants I've been to.Spice was at the level requested (spicy), but pretty sure could be made mild.We got the momos, the okra (which was a good cultivar and cooking of okra without the typical okra shards), the eggplant/potato dish (which had a nice hint of smokiness), and the goat curry.Mango lassi was good. Tea was good (high in caffeine, low in sugar).Reasonably priced when we went. Not crowded. Nice atmosphere/music.“

I notice that with most South Indian restaurants, the quality of chutneys deteriorates over time, but so far they've maintained the quality. I really hope they keep up the quality of food.“

Authentic Indian cuisine with excellent quality and value. We ordered the non-veggie and veggie meals of the day, somosas and roti. If I lived closer, I’d absolutely order several meals a week.“

“3.5 stars... rounds up to 4? I guess? It's a cute place in cute South Park. Great atmosphere, colorful and airy. Really young clientele when we went, which was just when they opened.The food was decent, but not astounding. The tomato creme based dishes were notably thin and watered down, and the rice could have been cooked a few minutes more. The Naan was great though, as were the appetizers (Samosas and some potato pancake sort of thing, I think?).Service was a bit scarce, but the pleasant demeanor of the server easily made up for it. Also, note to Management: please inform the wait staff that providing the customer with a bill to review BEFORE they pay isn't some extraneous old-timey "boomer" thing, but a standard transactional necessity for customers. People need to know exactly what their bill is comprised of before they pay (you don't just verbally tell them a total and ask for a credit card). That's the point of bringing the bill first. It's in everyones' best interest to make sure there aren't errors!Thanks, Curiosity. We enjoyed ourselves!“

We shared the Chicken Korma, Chicken Saag, Garlic Naan. The restaurant looks like more of a “fast food/take out” place and is in a shopping area. It’s not fancy, but a nice, casual place with friendly staff and great service. We also liked the “sauce” bar. I’ve eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants and this tops my list, You won’t be disappointed!“

Even half the 10 inch was filling. I like the crust too.It’s very saucy and not too sturdy, so you might want to plan to eat it there. I think it might get pretty soggy otherwise. They have a few tables and more outside. No bathroom, good to know.They have more pizzas I want to try; but I didn’t realize that they have lots of other things like Gobi Manchurian, Korean Bowls…The Chettinadu pizza had such good flavors that I am excited to try more of their cooking.“
