Desi Adda — Restaurant in Lowell

Finally—authentic Andhra street-style food just outside Boston! It’s about a 30-minute drive, but definitely worth it for the flavors. We tried a variety of dishes: Dahi Puri, Gobi Manchurian, Punugulu, and Chicken Noodles.

The standout for me was the Gobi Manchurian—crispy, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. On the downside, the Punugulu were a bit too hard and not easy to eat, and the Chicken Noodles were overly spicy without much flavor. The Dahi Puri was decent, but I missed the mint chutney—it would’ve tied it all together perfectly.

That said, I’d absolutely go back to try more from their menu. The food is very affordable, and though seating is limited (it’s mostly a food truck setup), it’s great for a quick, satisfying street food fix—even if it means...

I’ve tried ordering from them multiple times and not once have I actually received an order. They cancel every single time! Especially if the item qualifies for a buy one get one free offer—if you don’t want to honor the deal, just take it off instead of wasting customers’ time 🙄🙄. No matter what I choose, they cancel my order. I honestly don’t even know why they’re still open or if this place even exists!! They’re officially off my list for good! (If you're like me and enjoy exploring indian street food there are many better ones that actually provide food close to city, honest and mehfil being a few to name. And again working at a restaurant myself for years if you having issues with online order you can simply close the shop on the online platform uber...

I recently ordered food here and paid $12 for Gobi Manchuria but I got 6-7 pieces, I was quite surprised by the portion size, it felt a bit underwhelming for the price. The taste was decent, but for that amount, I expected either more quantity or something more substantial. Honestly, I’ve had better quantity and value for money when dining in at other restaurants with good facilities. I hope they consider improving portion sizes or offering better value for the price...
