PROs - good Kathi rolls , good location CONs - taste in some items , a little expensive combos

Desi galli has been around for a longgggg time . Their Kathi rolls are very famous and fills up your stomach . Very good location .. right on heart of Lexington Avenue where all other restaurants are . No parking available . Good for visitors who walk around in Lex ave . There was some road work going on . It was very dusty outside and we could hardly see the shop . Inside the shop, there are no seats when you enter : I thought it was To-Go only but they said there are seats at the basement . Nice seating arrangement inside . Few seats but it looked comfortable .

Went inside looking at Maggie samosa menu outside . It was very average . Maggie wasn’t tasty inside the samosa.. it was quite bland and no spice or salt . 🧂.. chutneys were good though. Would not recommend Maggi samosa . I loved their aloo paneer tikki kathi roll … for 8$ it was worth it . I actually just got a roll and samosa and the lady in counter said it’s better to get the same as a combo. I believed her and it looked like I paid more on a combo - which was about 15$.. Kathi roll plus samosa was 12$ !! I got confused when she offered the combo offer but it was just to get charged more . I still recommend their Kathi rolls . Really good . I think for 18-20$ it was expensive ! In other places around you will get a big fat meal for the same money ! 3...

I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN.

I’m on my lunch break going for coworkers of mine after looking online at the deals. The combo is a picture online of mango lassi and whatever roll etc. when I went to order she wanted to charge me extra. Your advertisement showed mango lassi so it should be included in the deal. That’s weird. That’s like showing Coca Cola included in the deal to then charge extra upon arrival.

I tried to split the payment. I give her $16 and the total was $28. she looks me straight in my face and tries to charge me $22. I said why does it say that? It should be less? She rolls her eyes and says I’m doing the math in my head. You owe like $6 just pay for it. I said but it says $22. She goes back and forth with me for a whole minute, I see a line forming. So I just pay. I look and check and sure enough she just charged me $22. Then refunds me the $22 and instead ringing me up the right way, ask me, do you still want food? Is your cashier girl high right now? She wasted half my lunch break pulling this crap. Indian food is limited over here and it’s sad that her whole attitude prevented my whole staff from...

5 star review went down to a one star and less if I could review. Super disappointed in this place. I have been a customer here for years ! There food quality amazing and tasty - big portions of food. The reason to come here!!! - all went down the drain! The food quality went down so much. They don’t really care. They just used PRE PACKAGED EVERYTHING FROM NAAN TO RICE TO THE CURRIES. They used to give huge khathi rolls and big portions of fries with the combos. Now I got a medley small roll and a counted number of fries it seems. Asked the lady what happened and she said sorry it’s cuz u got a combo. What an excuse. Well I guess enough of an excuse to lose a long time customer. We spent $30 here on this last trip currently sitting here writing this review - just khathi roll combo and chicken Tikka masala. Both small portions and not worth eating here from the entire strip on...

We stumbled upon this place quite suddenly. The love for Indian food and price point made us try it out. The restaurant is one stairs down but you'll love the interior. The setup is very comfy and if you're a fan of Bollywood music, you'll love their Playlist. The menu is available on scanning a QR code and the variation of the food will spark up your taste buds for Indian food. We ordered Samosa Chaat - the best I had in NY, Rasmalai - perfect softness and very flavorful, Bihari Kathi Roll - good blend of spicy chicken filling. I must mention about the staff who served us, she came down the stairs for 5 times to bring us food, offered to help with the menu and everything. She's the best! Would definitely come back.

I can’t speak to the food of the service because I’ve only gotten takeout, but this is one of the best Indians I’ve had in a long time. I was very pleasantly surprised by the chicken tikka masala. It’s very delicious, robust and a bit sweet. They also have gluten-free bread, which is a godsend because it is impossible to find anywhere and the portioning is really great for the bread. The create itself is perfect portion, especially when delivered. I would definitely order this again and the pricing is pretty pretty good for the area.
