Desi Adda

Craving Indian on my business trip's last night & decided to give Deesi a try.Ordered a veggie dumpling which was outstanding & would definitely get these again! Chopped veggies in a tender dumpling with a pb/tamarind dipping sauce. Yummy!Then ordered the Paner Masala & asked for spicy but it was not. Flavorful for sure but nowhere near the heat I'd been hoping for.......but I get this all the time. Most restaurants never believe it when their customers ask for spicy but there are a few of us who can actually handle the heat. I am one of them :-)I would definitely return as the selection & flavors were delish. Next time though, I'll see if I can get them to up their spice game

Went in here first because they have a public restroom but the smell of the restaurant got me and Mr. Partner in for lunch! We got the chicken biryani lunch combo and for $13.99 this is a great deal since it comes with three meats, rice, naan and a desert. The desert wasn't my favorite but I can't complain too much since it came with the meal. The staff was friendly and was very helpful at explaining what all the different dishes were and I would recommend visiting them when visiting Latta Arcade!

Delicious Food. Absolutely wonderful Butter Chicken. This is a great addition to the food in Latta Alley/ Arcade.

Chicken tikka is PERFECT. It's not thinned down, it has a perfect creamy thickened tomatoey flavor with an overwhelmingly fragrant note of Kashmiri chili. The garlic naan was warm buttery and perfectly fluffy. Comparable to a light garlic cheese bread. It holds onto the tikka ever-so-elegantly. 1000/10 will come here again.Plus, bottled water in uptown for only $1!!!

Very good. Great service too. I used to live in London which has affordable Indian restaurants everywhere. I was happy to see this restaurant in the Latta Arcade so tried it out. As good as anything I ever got in England. Right amount of spice too - present but not overwhelming for someone like me that can not handle very hot food.

Stopped in for lunch takeout. It was fast and delicious. Great spice level. Good value given the ton of food and a large amount of protein. Tasted authentic. Fast service and the gents working were nice enough. Will be back.

This place is a HIDDEN GEM, is SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED! We discovered this place by accident and honestly were a bit hesitant to try out their Chicken Tikka Frankie, Veggie Pakoras & Momos. We were hesitant about the Frankie because it was in a Naan Wrap instead of in a Paratha which is how it is originally made in India. And we've tried the Flour Tortilla wrap Frankie everywhere else and were always disappointed- but the Frankie here was the BOMB !! It was incredibly juicy, flavorful, and tasty and so were the Veggie Pakoras which were perfectly seasoned just how it tastes back in India!

Had dinner here on a recent trip to Charlotte. I think this place focuses more on take out during dinner. I had to wait for almost an hour. The Biryani was unusual - the rice was fine, but the pieces of chicken was dry and almost burnt. Weird! Disappointing. Will not return even though it's walking distance from all the hotels in City Center.

Management is awful here. Don't ever make a cook who is visibly ill (coughing and sneezing) work in a kitchen. Disgusting and sleazy labor-wise. I imagine this isn't the first time since the health rating is a little low (94%). Skip this place.

This place is a SCAM trying to take your money. I was the only person who came in on a Thursday for lunch. I ordered the veg momo and paneer tikka and paid for my order. Then sat at a table waiting. It took 5 minutes for them to tell me they don't have the veg momos. Mind you this is lunch and they should know if something can't be made or isn't available. After, they could not give me a refund. The cashier had to call someone else on the phone and could not refund me the money for the veg momos. I ate my paneer tikka and still couldn't refund my money. I asked to cancel the payment and just redo it and they could not either. They asked me to write my number to contact me later but I was in town for a conference and I couldn't come back to the restaurant when they called 2 hours later. They can't expect customers to come back for a refund?? And I cannot be on the phone answering calls while attending a conference to get my money back. It's a SCAM. They charge for food they don't give you and won't refund you money.
