This establishment specializes in Indo-Chinese cuisine, a fusion of Indian and Chinese culinary traditions. Customer reviews present mixed experiences. One customer found the Indo-Chinese dishes, specifically paneer chilly and gobi manchurian, to be "pathetic," noting that both had the same unusual gravy and that the paneer tasted old and rubbery.
In contrast, another customer was pleasantly surprised by the food and successfully ordered vegan versions of dishes not explicitly listed as vegan options. Furthermore, a different customer highly recommended the chana saag, eggplant, and okra dishes, rating them 10/10 and noting that they were neither overly oily nor salty.
One reviewer mentioned that the restaurant's exterior and interior appearance were not particularly impressive and noted a perceived lack of customer traffic based on observations from outside. However, this same reviewer was glad they tried the food and stated they would not hesitate to order from Desi Indo-Chinese again.

Pathetic indo Chinese food, ordered paneer chilly and gobi manchurian, both has same gravy which is unlike any other manchurian gravy. Paneer tastes like rubber must be old and gone bad.
I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Although no vegan options were listed, I asked for 3 dishes I knew could easily be made vegan. Ordered the chana saag, eggplant, and okra. 10/10 on all three! None were overly oily or salted - they were just right. I’ll admit I’ve walked past this place many times because based on looks alone. I’ve never seen many people go in or out, and the inside isn’t impressive Glad I tried this place. I definitely won’t hesitate to order from here again.
Service was pathetic. When we walked into the restaurant nobody was at the counter. Had to call the restaurant while at the table to get menus and the bill. The guy that showed up seemed friendly but then disappeared again. The AC was turned off and there was no music playing so the ambience wasn't great at all. While we were waiting for the food, another person walked into the restaurant to order but couldn't find the person at the counter so I told her that she would have to call the restaurant number. She said she'd wait but eventually got tired of waiting and just left without getting any service. When the food arrived it wasn't really bad at all but the service and experience killed the mood.
Ordered the veggie samosas. I always wanted to try them and finally did. They were very delicious. They gave me two nice big pieces for $4.34. I would definitely order them again. Next time I’m going to try the chicken ones 😌☺️
They always mess up the order. And I mean it, the items are wrong! Rice/noodles - it’s all the same to them. Placing an order for delivery or picking up in person, it’s always wrong. I asked for them to deliver the correct items, they refused. Don’t go there if you don’t have the patience for them to do, re-do, again re-do your order. Zero points for taste too! 🤮🤢 They serve bad kheer. It tasted sour cause it had gone bad and smelt disgusting too. Again, no refund or replacement given by the restaurant. Waste of money.
