Last week a dining companion and I went to the Desi Cafe for the first time; however, I was familiar with the dishes served there having ordered through Restaurant Runner several times. My companion on the other hand had never eaten Indian food. We went during the lunch hour. My companion chose the lunch buffet. While the lunch buffet looked very appealing, I knew the spices would be mild so I ordered off the menu so I could get the heat I craved. I asked for everything extra spicy. I know this is probably not for everyone. They will adjust the spice to suit your palate I ordered the Chicken Vindaloo, Channa Masala, Raita and garlic naan. The server even brought out papads. The Chicken Vindaloo and Channa Masala were dynamite (no pun intended). My companion enjoyed his buffet choices especially the Tandoori chicken, the butter chicken and vegetable korma. The service was outstanding and our server was so friendly. The interior is small but cozy. It even has a full bar. I would highly recommend Desi Cafe and will definitely be returning.

AWESOME!

We have eaten at the Desi lunch buffett many times and each time has been a wonderfull treat!  The food is fresh and delicious. The selection is more than adequate and the service is good with the waiter and owner both being very friendly and helpful.  If you are not sure if you like Indian food, this is an excellant  place to try it.  The naan is delicious and the Chicken Tikka Masala is to die for. The carrot cake (not sure why they call it cake) is absolutely delicious.  The spices are on the mild side but it is well worth a try.  We love it!

We had been wanting to try Desi Cafe for quite a while, and tonight was the night!

We were impressed at the decor, the service, and especially the food.  We ordered the assorted appetizer plate ($10.00) which was delicious and a great selectiion.  We were especially happy to see the chicken tandoori was white meat, and moist.

We also ordered the signature dish of shrimp coconut curry.  This was an A+ choice.  The sauce was just perfect, creamy, rich and yet subtle.  The shrimp were succulent and perfectly cooked.  This dish was $13.00, and would certainly serve 4 with other entrees ordered.   We also ordered a side of naan stuffed with minced lamb, rice, and mango chutney.

If you enjoy Indian food, please make sure you try this restaurant.  If you have never tried Indian cooking, I highly recomend you make this your choice for your first taste of Indian cuisine.
