In the unorthodox location, nestled within the front of a grocery store, lies Deshi Village in Landsdale, PA. Despite its unconventional positioning, this humble eatery manages to deliver an authentic escape into the flavors of Bangladesh. With aromatic naan bread, fiery chicken Vindaloo, and rich butter chicken, Deshi Village showcases a genuine commitment to traditional cuisine. The moment I stepped through the doors, I was met with the mingling scents of spices and sizzling meats. The ambiance, while modest, exuded a certain charm that added to the overall experience. It was a place where patrons gathered to feast on the culinary delights, undeterred by its unconventional location. The naan, freshly baked with a perfect golden hue, captivated both the eye and the palate. Its warm, fluffy texture acted as a vessel for the fragrant curries and provided a comforting companion to every bite. As I tore into the naan, the enticing aroma enveloped my senses, transporting me to the bustling markets of Dhaka. The chicken Vindaloo, a fiery Indian classic, did not disappoint. The bold blend of spices and tender meat created a symphony of flavors that danced on my tongue. The heat was unrelenting but not overpowering, offering a perfect balance that left me craving each successive bite. The butter chicken, a milder sibling to the Vindaloo, showcased Deshi Village's ability to execute diverse flavors. The succulent, juicy chicken pieces were enveloped in a velvety, buttery sauce that was rich and indulgent. As I savored each mouthful, the creaminess and delicate spices came together in a harmonious union. However, one aspect of the dining experience left a small blemish. The mango lassi, while promising, may have exceeded its fresh date. The once-vibrant sweetness seemed to have faded, leaving a slightly off-putting taste on the palate. In spite of this minor setback, Deshi Village remains a testament to the power of authentic flavors. It is an establishment that defies convention, inviting patrons to immerse themselves in the culinary wonders of Bangladesh. The dishes, crafted with care and dedication, reflect the cultural richness of the region. From the aromatic naan bread to the fiery Vindaloo, each plate offered a glimpse into the vibrant tapestry of Bangladeshi cuisine. In conclusion, Deshi Village may reside in an unorthodox location, but it proves that authenticity can thrive anywhere. Its flavorful naan, tantalizing chicken Vindaloo, and delightful butter chicken create a culinary journey that is worth embarking upon. While the mango lassi may have fallen short, the overall experience is one that invites diners to savor the flavors and embrace the adventure of...
Read moreUpdate February 2023: they don’t offer free tea anymore. The service was average, not convenient for us. Rice 🍚 just extra rice was $5, and the quantity was extremely low. We asked, they blamed it on inflation. Very unfair after almost $2000 grocery shopping and lunch!! Will try some other places next time, but we loved the place last time from Penn State!
Convenient luch and grocery shopping options. And the food tastes great. I loved the Malaikari, Morog Polau, and pretty much everything. The grocery and dine-in option is very convenient. We ordered halal meat and groceries, and enjoyed warm food. The services is phenomenal, and Rasel Vai was a friendly person. We have explored a few more grocery stores around, but this place is the best in Lansdale....
Read moreThe quality on most items on the menu have severely deteriorated over the last 3-6 months.
My family members are locals in this town and we have ordered many food items since the opening of this restaurant. In the beginning, the quality on most items were good, but over time the quality and the freshness on the restaurant items started to decline.

Many local community members had similar complaints as well and although I cannot vouch for them, I can certainly give you my honest opinion. It’s always disappointing and disheartening when you have to cross out a local...
