    A hole in the wall with tasty Indian style food prepared by a guy from Sindh. Not the most sociable guy but a good cook.

    My married friends and I were hoping to try the lunch buffet yesterday after hearing a promising…read morereview from a reliable source about Desi Ruchulu Indian Cuisine. Unfortunately, due to the rainy weather, they weren't offering the buffet that day. The three of us opted to order a la carte and squeezed into a comfortable booth. While glancing at the menu, I noticed entire pages dedicated to dosas, biriyanis, and Indo-Chinese dishes. In hindsight, we probably should've gotten at least one dish from each section, but we weren't really in the mood for dosas or the Indo-Chinese entrees at the time. GARLIC NAAN - 3.49 The garlic naan is a must-order. Each order comes with four quarter pieces, and I honestly could've eaten the entire basket myself. It's topped with plenty of minced garlic and is flavorful enough to enjoy on its own. PANEER TIKKA MASALA - 14.99 The tikka masala leaned heavily on the creamy side and was much less tomato-forward than I prefer -- savory with very little tomato sweetness. There were a few small pieces of tomato, onion, and possibly peppers, along with the paneer. While the paneer was good, there weren't many pieces overall. I enjoyed the dish, but I would've preferred a more tomato-based curry. VIJAYAWADA CHICKEN BIRYANI - 15.99 Highly recommended by our trusted source and echoed by multiple Yelp reviews, this was easily the star of our meal. The rice was fragrant and packed with aromatics, and the chicken was cut very small, almost minced. It was incredibly flavorful and unapologetically spiced, unlike many Indian restaurants in the area that tone things down for the American palette. This biryani did not hold back. While I generally prefer bite-sized chicken for the texture, I can see how the finely chopped chicken absorbs the spice better and distributes the flavor more evenly throughout the rice. That said, I do wish there had been more chicken overall so every bite included some. GOAT KORMA - 17.99 This was a pretty standard, nutty, creamy korma. Unfortunately, most of the goat pieces were very bony, with some pieces being straight up bone. I felt a bit cheated since this is a pricier entree. My friend has a much higher spice tolerance palette than his wife and me, so I only had a few bites before returning to milder dishes. Overall, this is probably the most spice-forward Indian restaurant I've been to in this area, and it genuinely felt like all of my taste buds were waking up with every bite. I highly recommend the Vijayawada Chicken Biryani, especially if you've never had it before, as it's not something I see often at Indian restaurants. The flavors are phenomenal, and next time I'll be back for a lassi, a dosa, and one of their Indo-Chinese dishes.

I looked up DoorDash and saw this place and wanted to try it. Con: I did not know which type of vegetables were in the vegetable biryani. Also, no utensils write given so I got creative and used the condiment lid for the mint and cilantro chutney to eat but not too long I was not enjoying my meal because I didn't have a spoon or fork to eat. I was in my hotel room alone but I refused to use my hands to eat rice. I didn't even finish half. The samosas on the other hand were yummy. The potatoes, peas, and lentils were predominantly filled and fried to perfection; not oily or greasy. It came w/ 3 sauces (mint and cilantro, yogurt based, and tamarind). Pretty solid Indian food.

    Guys, I'm not BSing when I tell you I goto *A LOT* of Indian buffets…read more This place is *NO JOKE DELICIOUS*. The weekday buffet is awesome, consistent flavors, but the magic happens on Sundays --we're talking multiple curries, veg + meat, kabobs, soup, South Indian breakfast (idli etc), biryani, salad, AND mango lassi, all you can freaking eat. I used to have to drive all the way to Farmington Hills to find buffets this good. To have one in Ann Arbor is a blessing. Thank you Taste of Suvai, this place is fantastic
