Food is great! Would love to see them on Uber Eats! Service is fast ambiance is welcoming! read more

My wife got this to-go last night and after one bite I already knew I had to come back the next day to get my own. The moment you walk in, you can already smell all the amazing flavors and it gets you excited to eat. Absolutely packed with flavor, fresh, delicious, and honestly one of the best meals I've had in Reno. The service was great too. The gentleman at the cashier was super helpful and gave great recommendations on which sauces to try, which made the experience even better. Every bite was amazing. Definitely a must try if you're in the area! read more

Desi flavors - Butter chicken bowl. Rice letter cilantro and cucumber - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Visited this new restaurant for lunch on a Monday. I went with a few colleagues on our lunch break. Half of us ordered through their website for pickup and the rest ordered in person. When we arrived, the place was very busy. It took about 10 minutes to get our pickup order and 25 minutes to get the orders placed in person. I would have given them a 4.5/5 stars if I could due to this wait, but I assume this will get better. Desi Flavors only opened 2 weeks ago so I think they are still working out the kinks. The food was phenomenal and absolutely deserves 5 stars. I ordered the naan wrap with tikka masala chicken, cilantro, raita sauce, cucumber and pickled red onions. Everything was flavorful and the naan was to die for. The portion size was also great for the price ($14.50). The rest of my party ordered a variety of bowls and naan wraps and everyone has been raving about the food all week. They also have a mango lassi that was a hit! This is a great addition to the Reno food scene and I'm sure it will do well as a lunch spot since it's surrounded by businesses! I know I'll be back to check them out again in a few weeks and hope they will have figured out how to reduce their wait times. read more

I never visited Rick's Deli (the former restaurant space), but from the reviews you can say the ambiance is about the same. Still a spacious little diner like environment, a single TV, menu on the wall, with a buffet style non-self serving setup. It's pretty straight forward. Desi makes good Indian food. The service was good. Jas I believe his name was, was absolutely courteous, offered me and my friend good recommendations. I had their Chicken Masala bowl with a few extras on top and it was good, comparable to other popular Indian restaurants in town, but the serving size was small. A healthy amount though come to think about it. I was able to finish it in one setting. I didn't feel full which can actually feel satisfying at times. I ended up having their Chai to drink afterwards and often times I'm critical of being served a drink in a large cup with half the fluid portion size, but was good. A hot drink. I can live with that. Was that worth $5 though? Overall, the flavors were good, portion sizes okay which made for a satisfying, lunch time meal. I'll definitely go back and try their burrito and Naan wrap. Try it for yourself. Especially if you like Indian food. It was served fast, it's conveniently located South of town and it tastes good. It's satisfying. I'll take pictures next time. read more

Giving the benefit of the doubt and bumping up to 4 stars because I want to see this place be successful (love the idea of a quick and affordable Indian food place being so close to my home!). Let's start with the good. The butter chicken was delicious. Had a good chicken-to-sauce ratio, wasn't too spicy, and had a savory rich umami flavor. I also loved how friendly the cashier was, and what a pleasant surprise to see the chef even poke his head out from the kitchen and wave hello-- that was cool. The chutneys were good but the mint chutney had a heat I wasn't anticipating which snuck up on me. The garlic naan was delicious (as naan usually is), fluffy in some areas and slightly crispy in others. My husband and I also found the bowls to be quite filling; I think the bowls hold more than they visually appear to-- which actually makes the prices a super value. There are a few things that could be improved. The mango lassi, while made from scratch (per the cashier), had an overripe or slightly bruised fruit taste to it. I did note that they restocked the mango lassis after serving ours so perhaps ours was just on its last day. I will say that I didn't love the bowl or burrito concept, but perhaps I am just a traditionalist. Another thing I will mention is that a few pieces of my chicken had some cartilage-- which wasn't my favorite-- but those pieces were still edible... While the cartilage was a bit of a turn off, it confirmed the butter chicken was made with dark meat (which I love). The ambiance was ok. It was clean and my husband and I felt comfortable eating in-- especially after feeling genuinely welcomed in to eat by the friendly service. A few other people dinned in too, but at max during our visit only 2 or 3 tables were occupied (but the place did just open so I can image that could change). The vibe inside reminded me a bit of some takeout Chinese places in Southern California-- just the plain walls, simple tables and chairs. I did appreciate the adequate spacing between the tables. Even if the restaurant were to be full I don't think it would feel too crowded. Some styling could make this place feel even better. Perhaps a mural like a few other places in town have, or at least some Indian inspired art on the walls. The signage and some of the professional looking photos on Yelp already create a bit of a vibe I'm digging. I grabbed photos of the new full menu; the cashier said it would be starting this coming Monday (May 4th, 2026). The lunch prices (highlighted in yellow) look fantastic (chicken tikka masala for $12.99- yes please!)! Overall, I think the place is worth checking out. Gotta try the butter chicken, especially if you're already a fan of this dish. I didn't ask, but I got the impression that the butter chicken is a South Indian recipe-- if you know, you know. ;) read more

New Spot Alert ‼ , from the moment I walked in, the staff made a strong impression. Super helpful, patient, and genuinely willing to answer questions without making you feel rushed. I ended up ordering a bowl with a chicken option that's not even on the menu yet ( pro tip ask about it.) It wasn't breaded, just perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender, juicy, and not chewy at all. There was a slight kick at the end, but nothing overwhelming just enough to keep things interesting. It came on a bed of rice that was cooked exactly how you'd want it. You're able to customize your order with sauces and toppings. I kept it pretty simple. I just added cucumber, which balanced out the spices perfectly. Needless to say I'll be returning. read more

Quick and fresh! Man this stuff is savory! The proteins are really well seasoned and tender, fresh veggies, and the samosas are crispy (don't forget the mint chutney!) Mango lassi definitely has a different flavor (in a good way) then most of the eateries in town. House made without the fluff! Friendly, quick, healthy, and on a track record to overtake Chipotle if I have anything to do with it. This is a quick eats place so ambiance reflects accordingly. Get in, eat, get out. read more

Desi flavors - Garlic naan, Tikka Masala, Samosas - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This place was as advertised. If we wanted a full on restaurant experience with restaurant prices, yes 7 would be the go-to. But for lunch on a rainy Monday in May, Desi was perfect! Larger seating area than we expected and very clean. Both gentlemen working the front were helpful and patient. They do need another person up there to maybe cashier/expedite. They don't have their full menu available yet but we tried the butter chicken in a naan wrap, saag paneer in a bowl and an order of samosas. We would order all items again. read more

Desi flavors - Chicken tikka masala, rice and raitha. - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Had the chicken tikka masala bowl with garlic naan and a mango lassi. Everything was delicious! Friendly service makes up for the no frills atmosphere. Only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is because the portions are small for the price and naan is expensive for one piece. Will definitely go back though next time I'm in Reno and want fast Indian food. read more

Just left. Soooo good. We're very excited to have them so close by. We'll be back. Want to try everything on the menu. Definitely check them out Flavorful meat and tasty chutneys their hot sauce is legit too. read more

Desi flavors - Buttered chicken bowl and garlic naan - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Great addition to the Reno Food Scene! Family owned and everything is made from scratch. We tried the mango lassi and it was amazing. The Samosas were the best we have had, loved the 2 sauces it included. We tried 2 bowls- the goat (additional $3.99) was yummy with a good portion and the chicken masala was delicious. Naan was a good size and shareable! We will definitely be back and hope to book some catering! read more

Highly recommended! The owners are very hardworking and kind so that's a plus for one. And two the food is freshly made you can tell that it's not sitting out, the whole restaurant is clean and the portions are great! This will be my go to restaurant for Indian food moving forward! Also fun fact: one of the owners was the blue ranger in one of the newer power rangers that came out, that adds more cool factor to this already amazing place! read more

Desi flavors - Butter chicken was so flavorful and juicy you could tell this was freshly made. There's so much love in this dish I was so satisfied! - Indian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

this is not a 5 star restaurant. if you really believe it is you need to get out more. bawarchi in sparks or 7 spices both outdo this place on flavor and are true 5 star indian food for the area. value is good. for $12.50 the bowl is a generous portion. saag paneer and chana masala were mid at best and nowhere near the flavor of other indian restaurants in the area. buttar chicken was 4/5, but is hard to do wrong (ask yourself if youve ever had bad buttar chicken?). THEY DIDNT REMOVE ALL THE BONES FROM THE CHICKEN! samosas were a little more unique than other spots, with a savory crunch and less doughy texture. good spices and flavor made these a treat. the mango lassi was very floral and that is not my preference. other folks might like it that way but I threw mine out and didn't finish it because my mouth tasted like potpourri. overall review is capped at 4 stars regardless of the food because they've done nothing to change the interior since taking over from the previous owner (Ricks deli). I'm laughing at the reviewers who are rating them as 5 stars for atmosphere. what atmosphere? the deli atmosphere with green checkered flooring when this is an indian restaurant? the resturant front of house was not being kept tidy with trash and boxes left on top of the countertops. I'll give them a pass on this because they are new but will try again in a few weeks to see if they keeping the front of house in better shape. staff was courteous as is expected. read more

I stopped in for the first time today and got a Channa Masala bowl and it was so good! The chickpeas were cooked perfectly and it was flavorful and well-spiced. The two gentlemen working the counter were kind and helpful and provided great service! I'm so happy to have this as a lunch option now, I hope they'll be around for a long time to come! read more
