Wow, wow, wow- Desi's Chicken/Paneer Bowl exceeded my expectations! Admittedly, my knowledge of Indian cuisine was limited to chicken masala and palak paneer. The Chicken/Paneer Bowl was a richly satsfying serving of the above flavors, enhanced by a colorful mix of sauteed al denté veggies punctuated by a slightly spicy pickled turnip salad. Flavors, colors, texture: Go get it!!

Excellent food! It seems that Desi Indian Restaurant has made three (3) things their main and only focus. 1. Providing amazing, fresh tasting food each visit. 2. Giving kind, attentive service each visit. 3. Keeping very affordable menu prices without sacrificing on the exceptional flavor & portions, all while maintaining excellent customer service. A restaurant that actually gets it! 5's!!!

Ordered food for the family party and everyone enjoyed everything. Food was on time, freshly prepared and still hot. The palappam was the best I've had in a while, if you are looking for some good kerala food, this is a great place to start.

I drive by this place all the time but never ventured in til today. I ordered a Kerala style Thali. This did not disappoint!!! Kudos to the chef in the kitchen! The Kerala Thali comes with Rice, Papadum(fried peeled black gram flour), Aviyal(thick mixture of vegetables and coconut, seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves), Beef curry, Fish curry, Thoran (coconut based vegetable dish), Moru curry( spiced yogurt curry), Fresh Chammanthi(red coconut chutney) and mango pickle( pickled mango). Overall: I will be back and will be bringing family and friends. When your in Stafford, TX - stop on by and try them out!!!

Tried their 3 items so far after perhaps the management changed. Previously when I had tried several months ago food wasn't that good quality I feel. I have tried many other Northern Indian/Southern Indian restaurants in the area and felt quite surprised that food was actually quite good given the hole in the wall appearance. I think the reason southern Indian restaurants do not appear that fancy is that people from those cultures prefer to spend time eating with their whole families and as well entertain guests in the comfort of their homes. 1. Fish Cutlet- very good. $1 for each. Try it with sriracha/tomato sause- even better. 2. Mutten Curry. (take out $10 for 1 lbs) Excellent authentic tasting. 3. Yukka preparation. $5 for 1 serving. Very good. I suggestion so far I can think of, their kitchen needs to appear a little bit cleaner so folks don't get the impression it's not clean there. This is a disservice they are actually doing to the taste and quality of their food. One thing to note to folks who are used to regular chicken Tikka, Tandoori chicken, Naan bread kind of Northern Indian food is that this place serves cuisine that is a micro culture of Syrian Christian immigrant tradition of the Southern Indian state of Kerala where Christianity are a majority unlike other places in India where Hindus are the majority, so it is a good degree separate from the "Indian food" if you had before. If you like spice food enough I would recommend: - Porotta (flour made and flat apperaing flaky bread preparation) - Either mutton curry or beef chilly or beef curry preparation to go with it. - Masala Dose ( Crepe made with fermented ground rice with potato, green peas, onions, carrot and tempering) - Other things as you explore further :-)
