Do it Desi-Style
The aromatic smell of spices and garlic-loaded naan hits your nose the moment you step inside. Follow your nose, grab a table by the lively bar, and get ready to devour some awe-inspiring fare. Desi’s menu features a variety of chicken and succulent lamb dishes that hit the spot. The chicken tikka features chicken breast marinated in yogurt and cooked in an authentic tandoor oven. Juicy shish kabobs in either chicken, minced lamb or beef are so tender they practically fall of the skewer. For a spicy kick try the chili chicken cooked with onions, green and red bell peppers, spices and soy sauce. Also on the menu discover tender chicken in a creamy butter sauce, chicken vindaloo cooked in a tangy sauce, and a handful of veggie options. For a sweet ending, the Indian-style homemade ice cream comes highly recommended.
