Deshi Kitchen — Restaurant in Göteborgs Stad

The Indian cuisine (from north to south and west to east) is our favorite one—and Deshi Kitchen one more time reassured why that is the case!

The weather was great, so we sat outside and enjoyed the lovely atmosphere as you are sitting next to a little plaza. Communication with the restaurant was easy beforehand, because we were traveling with our dog and they responded quickly and positively to my email whether we could sit inside with our dog if sitting outside was no option.

The food was just a 10/10! From the various starters, to the mango lassis and the main courses (we all had different ones) that we had, including the delicious garlic naans. The size of the main course is quite something, so if you’re having starters, you could also share one.

Would definitely...

We went to Deshi Kitchen with a couple of friends. The food was good, the service was decent—until we dared to ask for take-away boxes. That’s when things took a ridiculous turn. We were told that each person gets only ONE box. Seriously? One of our friends had finished his meal but wanted to take some leftovers home, and they REFUSED to give him a box, despite the fact that there was SO much food left!

We ended up having to leave a FULL bowl of rice behind. How on earth is this sustainable? You’d rather WASTE perfectly good food than let us take it home? What are they going to do with that rice—toss it in the trash, or worse, serve it to another customer? The whole thing is completely...

Tried the Thali and it was amazing. The food is authentic and flavorful and well presented. No dish tasted the same (which sometimes happens with Indian restaurants in Sweden) and the butter naan was yum. The papdi chaat was delicious just as the Gajar ka halwa. The Tandoori grilled chicken was tender and flavourful but I would recommend the kitchen to also mix chicken thigh into the marinate instead of just breast as the Tandoori pieces tend to get a bit too dry.

A lot of Indian restaurants in Sweden do this which makes the flavor and texture of the Tandoori'd chicken a little boring.

All in all it was amazing though....
