Desi Village Indian Restaurant, Philadelphia PA

I wish I could give negative starts if possible. This is the worst restaurant I have ever been in US. The ambience of restaurant is quite creepy and no cleanliness. The food was not fresh and smelled and tasted like food cooked before a day. Ordered a paneer tikka paratha roll and they gave me a paratha wrapped with veggies, mayonnaise and raw paneer inside with no salt. And shahi paneer was worse I ever had it was kind of rotten and the naan and paratha was burnt. I recommend not to try this restaurant. Worse Indian restaurant in Philly. Horrible experience.

Idk who is doing a worse job, this restaurant that's serving spoiled food or the philly health department for not shutting them down.

I order from here before and received the most watery palak paneer with 2 pieces of paneer in it. I thought I’d try it again to see if it was a fluke. It was not. This “mutter paneer “ was so water and greasy and only had a few pieces. Do not try this place. I also think they operate under the name gunpowder cafe.

I bought a mango lassi since it’s cheaper than mood cafe. The menu on the outside of the building says 2.95 I was charged $4. I asked why so much and the cashier said because of tax. Cashier said it is 2.95 just plus tax. When I got my receipt it says the price was 3.50 plus tax which totals up to $3.78. I never got my exact change. I thought about asking for it but I didn’t because the guy ran away all the way into the back. This place must need it more than me.

The lassi was not good at all and tasted spoiled. I threw it away as soon as I got it. I really wanted to like this place but it’s not good.

The lassi was spoiled and my tongue feels really weird. I went back and told the cashier about it and he said whose problem is that? I literally just wanted him to throw all the lassis away so that other people don’t have a reaction like me.

Don’t go here

The first time I ordered I would have given 3 stars, for it was mediocre but edible, and lacked the spice that I asked for. This time around against my better judgement and laziness to travel for better food I ordered for a second time. I ordered the buttered chicken or chicken makhani, the sauce was so thin it was like soup, and there was absolutely no spice whatsoever despite me asking can it be made extra spicy. The Paneer Naan I received had one spot of cheese, the garlic one was the only thing made correctly. I love supporting the area I’m in but this restaurant failed me twice.

The best Indian food in town for your buck. Everything I have ordered in my multiple visits there has surprised me. Everything has been delicious, well cooked and freshly prepared. The price is very cheap compared to all other Indian restaurants nearby.

Really good food I mean less oil than other place.
Taste is excellent tried butter chicken and navratan korma with naan.
