"We just ordered the Butter Masala, Saag, Chicken Biryani, Garlic Naan. All fantastic, hot, aromatic, spicy, flavorful, tender. Finally we have a go to place near us for Indian food. The only note was the Mango Lassi was too sweet and thick for my taste, but I don't like sweets and desserts. I can't wait to to try every on the Desi menu. "
"I had previously left a review because the chicken quantity in the biryani was disappointing. I’m happy to update my feedback after my latest order. This time the chicken biryani was excellent, with a generous quantity of chicken pieces and good overall quality. It’s great to see that customer feedback is being taken seriously. Thank you for the improved experience—keep up the good work!"

"First time I tried Mellow Manna. Got the Chicken 65. Now, I've had Chicken 65 in the past from other places and I've always enjoyed it! However, the Chicken 65 here is literally breaded and fried chicken pieces. Where are the spices? The seasoning? It's REALLY bland and not Indian at all.

"Best Masala Tea ever! Food was amazingly good too. Highly recommend! "
"I will try to review each item. But overall as a foodie who likes to Resturant hop mostly remotely and dine in on occasion or if I hear good reviews, especially considering comfortable seating. But otherwise I stick to dining at home.
*overall I give this place a soft 2 because 1.5 wasn't available and I don't know how dine in experience is.
Specific menu item reviews will be under each item with pic.
*The Tea/chai beverage was NOT sealed which is gross, as we all know what human instinct has taught us all about not sealing beverages! But the delivery was cateful with the package so no mess, lucked out there.
* condiments & spoons were added so ok there.
* over tase of each item a hard 2. BUT again the mint lemonade had zero ice so it wasn't even cool let alone cold.. not sealed as well...
*beef keema I did not expect to be good, not great but good so thankful for that and reasonably good portion
Halwa was good but a solid 2 rating for this specific item because the taste of item dish as whole a 7 out of 10 at best. Cholay were watery, Ali tamari cut not how traditional Ali tarkari cuts are taste acceptable. Poor size was acceptable but not traditional poori taste, I'm guessing they chose a not so good quality ata (flour) to make the roti), it was still oily like how pooris are u healthy as hell but usually the taste is accepted by eater however taste was bland.
*tea was not sealed
* the maagi noodles, (cheap Desi ramen) were $6 and good portioned but tasted very bad and NO Indo-Chinese-Pakistani personalized twisted added to item what so ever
*a bit over priced and I know Inflation, DoorDash's cut that they take is an issue but I still consider a bit over priced considering taste being a 2 at best"

I ordered on a whim because I was hungry and didn't check the reviews until after I placed my order but the 5 star ratings are obviously true. 100/10 would order again.

"First time customer and it will definitely not be the last time! That Biryani 65 is AMAZING! The chicken was succulent, moist, a little spicy and extremely flavorful. I got the house spice level so next time I'll go up to hot. The rice was so fluffy and had the best balance of herbs and spices. The garlic naan.. Chefs kiss!!

"First time trying this place. The samosas are large and so tasty. The only thing is that I have to put it back in the oven to toast them up because they got soft on their way here. Otherwise, excellent.
The lamb shank is tender, rice pilaf is done beautifully just heavy handed with the raisins. With the cucumber salad on the side, I got naan to go along with it. They didn't send the green sauce, which I would have liked to overall give the milk it's completeness. The lamb is very tender the bone falls right off."
"Approved By a true Afghani!
My 100% Afghani partner who came to the states from Afghanistan back in 2022 was at a truck stop resting in between trips and he was in the mood for Real Authentic Afghanistan food just like home.
The Kabuli pulao was excellent, he said the meat was fresh. This satisfied him and was authentic and approved.
(If you're new to Afghani food, your first try should always be the Kabuli Pulao, as that is Afghanistans national dish!)
The Naan was also perfect, he said it was "really good naan" - another approval!
Now he didn't order anything else, so we don't know how the rest of the food tastes, but if they got the Kabuli Pulao right then it deserves a 5 star rating !
The food came with salat (fresh veggies) on the side to crunch on between bites which gives to refreshness .
Portion was standard for Kabuli Pulao which is A Lot in my opinion. 2 people could share one portion if they wanted to.
Overall great place!"

"I totally forgot how amazing the food at Bombay Brasserie is!!
It has been quite a while since I ordered from there and decided to try it again after a few disappointing dishes from the usual place I had been ordering from.
I was blow away by how fantastic the sauce is with the Paneer Makhani and also how tasty the Daal Makhni is. Those two are by far a staple for vegetarians like me.
I can't wait to eat the leftovers tonight."
"OVERPRICED, TINY PORTIONS, and mediocre food. The chicken Tikka masala contained a whopping 6 chunks of chicken and the lamb Korma contained 5 chunks of lamb. The only thing that was the right portion size was the Naan but even that is just overpriced flour. I am never ordering from this restaurant again."

"Nihari Beef, Beef Paya tastes good. Try to use less oil and more salt and paper with delivery order. Quality and quantity is good. Kheer 1 Lb is too good."
"it's unbelievable how oily the nihari beef is. Not only that, but it has two small pieces of beef. I get inflation, but I didn't know you could charge $13 for oil.
Plain rice costs $5 which is already over priced, I thought I'd get a good amount, but had half the size I got last time I ordered from here.
Disappointing."

LAHORI CHOLAY
Lahori Cholay (also written as Lahori Chole or Chanay) is a legendary street-food classic from Lahore, Pakistan. It features tender chickpeas slow-cooked in a unique, heavily spiced, and deeply savory gravy. Unlike typical tomato-based chickpea curries, an authentic Lahori style relies on a smooth onion, yogurt, and lentil or mashed chickpea base. This gives the dish its signature thick, velvety, and "mushy" texture (often referred to as Chikar Cholay).

"OMG! I love It!!!! the chicken is cooked amazingly and the curry sauce it's in is AMAZING the rice and Naan were amazing! I ate so much and would keep eating if my stomach allowed! very delicious and I've never ordered from here before or been here at all! I just wanted Butter Chicken (Makhani) and Naan you should try it "
"All of the sauces were good, but the amount of chicken provided in the butter chicken and the chicken Tikka masala was lacking. Three people shared the two chicken dishes plus a saag paneer, and I personally ate only two small cubes of chicken to allow enough for the other two. it was not enough."

"Meat Kabab Sandwich | كباب لحم Definitely a hidden gem on the menu! The restaurant is known for its chicken and this was my first time even thinking of ordering the beef, I was honestly hesitant… but wow!!!!
The bread had the yumm unique tangy flavor from the sumac on the outside, the meat was super clean and perfectly cooked, the mix inside was beyond perfection. Highly recommend and I would say one is not enough!!! was SO GOOD!
The Pink Sauce was kind of tangy not garlicky and it went really well with the sandwich."
"Mix Grill | مشاوي مشكلة
Stick to the sandwich y'all !! this was a huge disappointment it was dry, messy, and completely lacked flavor. I can’t believe this is the same beef kebab they use in the sandwich… ew
You’d also definitely miss that signature tangy flavor on the sandwiches bread
One more thing: if you’re serving food in a box that needs to stay flat, don’t package it in a handled bag the moment the dasher lifts the bag by the handles the food slides into a corner. Of course the one who picks it up should carry it carefully too but the packaging should be designed to prevent that from happening in the first place. Simply use bags with a wider base for these orders so it stays flat during transport.
Overall, this is a hard pass for me."
