This restaurant has gone through a major downgrade after changing their chef. I ordered Gongura Paneer Biryani, and what I received was shocking — it was basically bhagara rice mixed with gongura paste and a few paneer slices. That is not biryani at all. No proper flavor, no layering, no authenticity. Even the tea taste has completely changed and is nowhere close to what it used to be. On top of that, the packaging quality has dropped — earlier it was sturdy hard plastic, now it feels cheap and poorly packed. Overall, the food quality, taste, and presentation have gone downhill. This used to be a place I enjoyed, but sadly it’s not worth it anymore. Hoping the management takes this feedback seriously.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Amazing place for Indian food near by Indian trail and Monroe, NC. They have daily specials and weekend specials. Love their Chaat, chicken ghee roast pulav and malai kofta. They also have huge variety of fresh Indian desserts and snacks which they make fresh everyday.

We went there on the day when chat items were $5 each. Ordered onion samosa, Samosa chat and pav bhaji. Onion samosa was decent. Samosa chat was not good at all. Pav bhaji was horrendous, no salt, no taste, instantly returned it to get something other. Glad they agreed but no options to replace it so I had to take samosa again. Onion samosa - 3/5 Samosa Chat - 2/5 Pav Bhaji - 0/5 Was a regular customer of desi bites in Kansas city, but this one is a different story.
