The entire time it was being prepared, he argued with a man in the kitchen. It was an unpleasant experience, though the restaurant itself was clean and inviting.

As an actual Indian, I find myself increasingly frustrated browsing through reviews of Indian…read morerestaurants, most of which seem to be written by people with little firsthand familiarity with the cuisine. So take this from someone who grew up eating the real thing. There are restaurants that play it safe with Indian cuisine, dialing back the spice, softening the edges for a broader audience, and then there are restaurants that simply miss the mark entirely. Unfortunately, this establishment falls into the latter category. I came with high expectations and left deeply underwhelmed, starting with the Chicken Korma. A korma lives and dies by its sauce, that slow built richness of cream, cashew, and warm spice that should coat every piece of chicken with intention. What arrived was something far more anemic: a sauce so lacking in depth that it read as little more than colored cream. Worse, the chicken itself bore all the hallmarks of having been grilled separately and dropped into the sauce as an afterthought. There was none of that tender, sauce permeated quality you get when protein and masala are cooked together properly. It tasted like two dishes that had only just met on the plate. The Malai Kofta compounded the disappointment. The kofta balls, which should be pillowy, yielding dumplings with a delicate spiced interior, arrived with the texture of compressed gravel. The density suggested these had been frozen and reheated rather than prepared fresh, a suspicion difficult to shake with every labored bite. Again, the sauce offered little salvation, essentially a thinner echo of the same flavorless base. There were, to be fair, two bright spots. The naan arrived properly blistered and soft, and the chai was competently spiced, small mercies that demonstrated the kitchen is capable of getting things right when it wants to. It makes the failures elsewhere all the more puzzling. The service was attentive and the dining room reasonably pleasant. Your server won't let you down. The room won't offend you. But ambiance and adequate bread cannot rescue cooking this careless. Indian cuisine is one of the world's great culinary traditions, complex, layered, and deeply satisfying when executed with even modest care. What was served here felt like a faint photocopy of that tradition. For those of us who know what the real thing tastes like, that gap is simply too large to overlook. The naan and chai suggest potential. The mains suggest a kitchen not yet living up to it.

I chose the samosa, which had a flavorful filling and a crispy exterior. It came with a mint chutney, tamarind chutney, and onion chutney, which were all solid. For my entree, I picked vegetable vindaloo. It was *really* spicy, almost to the point of being challenging to eat. I also noticed a ton of red food coloring. The flavor was otherwise good, and there was a nice variety of vegetables. I'd recommend picking another dish. The onion kulcha was really nice as the bread choice - fluffy and with a nice onion and cilantro stuffing.

Last time, I went in person; this time, I ordered for delivery, and Desi Grill had very good reviews on DoorDash. Fortunately, my experience this time was a bit better than last time. The naan was definitely better. Unfortunately, their chicken tikka masala was very bland to me, which I guess I can understand if they're catering to a mostly non-spice-tolerant neighborhood, but I feel like it would be significantly better if they at least offered spice levels so people could choose to add more flavor if they need. Positives: the food arrived hot and pretty quickly. There wasn't a delivery fee. The price was not as steep as some other restaurants. The chicken tikka masala was also not sickly sweet, like I've caught some other places out here making it. It was not *bad*; for me, it was just missing the flavor that even the jar of chicken tikka masala sauce from Target has.

I really enjoyed their rice which is basmati with fennel seeds; this adds so much jazz to the rice. The naan was nice and soft. The lamb curry was ok, and will probably try something else next time.

The naan was very soft and warm and easy to chew. The samosa was very starchy in my opinion filled with a lot of potato. Overall the meal was very affordable with a lot of appetizers to go along with the chicken tikka masala meal.
