Desi Dhaba — Restaurant in Karnataka

Food is the one comfort that makes living away from home bearable. Over the last two years, I've visited Desi Dhaba more times than I could care to count. The food, of course, is unquestioningly good. The curries and portions are rich and wholesome. I've never walked away hungry or dissatisfied.

But more than anything, I love the entrepreneurial spirit of the owner - there are constant micro-experiments going on here to improve the visitor's experience, and I really appreciate these. My only grouch is that the establishment should take care of the staff better - I've seen faces change too frequently and their general condition isn't encouraging. Perhaps, put up a tip box?

If you value your health, please stay far away...

They give more priority to online orders and takeaways. When we visited, we had to literally go to the counter and tell our order to get service. Also it takes more time for the food to arrive at your table. Also they served bread before even the sides got ready.
