Desi Chowrastha - Nashua

We tried so many things as a group and the taste was below average. Service was super slow & it was a lot of stress to find a seat in this place as you literally have to hover over people to grab a spot (and be hovered over when eating for the same reason). Several things were not available but no indication on the menu. I think the hype will pass if they do not fix a few things, starting with upleveling the taste.I would skip the Indian Chinese & Vada Pav here, but would recommend the curries & biriyani. Also, Frankie was more like a wrap (not Indian style Frankie).

Pretty cool South Indian Street food restaurant spot. This is a great place when you're not looking for a traditional super restaurant-ey vibe, but also looking for something in the middle that's not purely takeout. They got really good food. That's mainly in the realm of South Indian style from typical hits such as chicken 65 to papdi chaat. The service here was really good and fast. Definitely recommend checking out this place at least once, and you might be coming back again and again.

I was there this afternoon excited to try their food because I heard great things about the food. I told the cashier that I wanted to get the chicken tika masala burrito and she asked me if I wanted potato stuffing and I said yes. She didn't explain very well about anything and rang me up. Anticipating on the food when my name was called it was something completely different. I explained that this wasn't what I got and they just looked at me dumbfounded. Forcing to eat couple bites I just kept getting more upset. No explanation no sorry or anything. I literally threw away 90 percent of the food that was brought out. My parents are also immigrants but they definitely need to do better and put someone that can speak English to explain what I am purchasing. I will never come back to this rude establishment.

There are a lot of Indian patrons at this restaurant, and that tends to bode well for the food. The menu is quite extensive and there aren't any descriptions or explanations (Google is your friend).My girlfriend liked the items we got (Dragon Cauliflower, Chicken 65, Tikka Frankie), but I found them underwhelming; not bad but certainly on the blander side of Indian food.While I did observe a group of guys eating curry with their hands (I get it, it's their culture...) right at the front counter, at least the employee that was serving them from a large pot was using a ladle to scoop into their bowls. The restaurant interior is quite clean and the staff are very nice.The restaurant smells amazing as soon as you walk in and all the other glowing reviews definitely make me feel like I've yet find their best so I will definitely return to try more of their large menu.

This is a legit Indian restaurant. This could be the best I've ever had in America. There is so much to try here and learn about this cuisine, but I can't stop getting the butter chicken. It is phenomenal.

Desi Chowrastha opened in the former Maza space at Webster Square in South Nashua. This order at the counter place serves up mainly Indian fare and Indo -Chinese dishes, vegetarian and non-vegetarian options including dosas, street sandwiches, breads, wok noodle & rice dishes, biryani, chaats, curry dishes, masala, appetizers, juices, lassis, shakes, Coke & Pepsi drinks, and Indian & fusion desserts. There is table and high top table seating here with TVs on the painted brick walls and Indian music playing over the speakers.I stopped by just after 5pm and the place seemed busy during their soft opening. I was told that they were closed briefly, but they would start serving food again at 5:30. I ordered my food ahead of time at the register for a Hakka Noodles with Chicken ($14.99 plus tax) and Samosas ($3.49 plus tax), $20.05 with tax. I paid $20.25 cash and the guy shut the drawer, 20 cents change please? I took a seat and about 3 minutes later he comes up to me and tells me that they don't have samosas and if I want something else. I ask to get Onion & Spinach Pakoras instead, but it's $6.99 plus tax and I ended up paying the difference of $3.79 with tax and I get my 20 cents back too after the guy looks at the shiny quarter I gave him 5 minutes before. I will let this slide since they are new.Anyways, the Pakoras are ready in 10 minutes and noodles in 15 minutes. The food here was cooked fresh and hot and tasted very spicy. The fried Pakoras were firm and coated in a slightly salty batter with a spicy green dipping sauce provided. The Hakka Noodles which I ordered mild still were spicy tasting which had a mix of soft noodles, egg, garlic, chopped vegetables and tender pieces of chicken. Sriracha sauce was provided just in case I wanted more spicy. There is also self serve tap water in the dining area.Overall, the food was fresh and spicy. Hopefully they have samosas next time, which would order with a dosa.

Great food, quick service. Courteous staff. Good quantity definitely worth going multiple times

Probably the best Chichen Tika Masala my wife and I have had. Props! Definitely coming back.

We loved it! However, to set expectations, it is not a place for a date or special occasion. It is small, with a storefront atmosphere, similar to Prest or Panera. Nevertheless, if you want genuine Indian food this place is a hidden gem. Food - fresh and delicious Service - pleasant and accommodating Ambiance - cafeteria style - ordering and paying up front at the counter, then seating at tables.

Excellent food, casual dining always busy. Biryani and chicken tikka masala are our go to's. But have tried other dishes and they never disappoint.
