Really good! 5 times here and never disappointed

Amazing food! The paneer tikka masala is very flavorful and has a lemony kick. The Desi Poutine was a family favorite! The tikka sauce is rich in cream and spice. It was very filling and the portions were great! Everything was reasonably priced. The owner was very friendly and provided us complimentary cheesecakes. Much thanks! More...

Cute little place in Manhattan. Food was a bit spicy for my appetite but yumm. A suggestion would be to provide a yoghurt mint chutney with the rolls, to balance out the spice in the roll. The servers were quick and very polite! More...

Started with the Desi Poutine which was soooooo good. I mean it was literally tikka sauce with fries like of course it’s gonna be good. They give you so much of the tikka sauce too it was great. Although I wouldve hoped for more of the paneer topping throughout. The Saag Paneer was fine. A lot more chili forward than I expected but it was still good and flavorful. Rice was fine too. I was disappointed with the naan though. It was small and a bit tough, and honestly looked like the frozen naan you get in grocery stores. I know the chef says everything is made fresh in house but this naan did not taste that way. I usually pass on lassi because it only ever is offered in mango and I don’t really care for mango lassi, but they had a strawberry lassi here which I was thrilled to see! It was pretty tasty, perfect amount of cardamom and was really thick! More...

I come to Desi Gali regularly and Love the food here, the prices are great and the service is even better. The manager is very kind and friendly. You can order ahead to dine in or takeout. It’s a pretty casual dining restaurant. I normally get the side of tikka masala sauce, and naan bread and it is very filling and affordable. They also have great chai tea. More...

One of my fav place to get street food in New York. Best hands down

Reviewed on Google Maps

Absolutely loved the food at Desi Galli! Everything we tried was full of flavor and had that perfect desi street-style twist. The chaat dhokla was soft and tangy with chutneys that blended beautifully. The chilli idlis had the perfect Indo-Chinese kick—spicy, crispy, and addictive. But the Desi Poutine stole the show—hot fries topped with house-special podi masala, it was a flavor bomb in every bite! The paneer biryani reminded me of Mumbai’s street-style biryani—comforting, spicy, and delicious. If you’re craving Indian street food in NYC, this place is a must-try. Great vibes and even better food! More...

Finally got the chance to dine-in at Desi Galli and it did not disappoint! The menu has so many amazing veg options, I could barely decide. The Dirty Fries (aka Desi Poutine) are dangerously addictive and so delish. We also had the best Pani Puri we’ve ever tasted! The lamb and Beyond Meat Kati Rolls continue to be our favorite. Dessert was a sweet surprise with chef Pria’s special gulab Jamun cheesecake, and the masala coffee alone is worth coming back for. A definite 5-star experience—highly recommend checking it out!

I got the Aloo Gosht Roll and the Chicken Tikka Masala with medium spice. It was really good. The restaurant was not that packed when I got there around 5 pm. The food was great and very flavorful. My two items with 15% tip was $35.31. The Aloo Gosht was really good and I would recommend the chicken Tikka Masala. More...

Excellent food. Tons of variety and different options ranging from classic dishes to creative fusion offerings! Staff are so friendly and the space is very comfortable!

There are meals on this earth that are so delicious you eat them as fast as you can. The chicken tikka masala and Bihari Curry are not that meal. They are food that makes you slow down, think, and dream that time will come to a near standstill so that you can enjoy their greatness before the fleeting moment passes. If I ever found myself with a choice for a last meal in this life, it would be these two dishes from Desi Galli with a samosa (one of the greatest I’ve had the honor of consuming). My only hesitation would be that this food may give me an unquenchable thirst to live as there would be a chance to have my soul nourished yet again by these culinary masterpieces. The cooks and chefs at Desi are nothing short of treasures of this world. More...

On June 23rd, I went with my wife and 3 year old, she had a mason jar with liquid in it and her name on it and a doily. It may hay have looked like nothing to your to the employees but if it had a name on it and it was at our last sitting location, you would think that it'd be held for the customer to try to get it back. But the employee said it was thrown away. This was an experiment done for my daughter's last day of school, and I just found out that it was left because my wife didn't tell me till I asked about it today; because she knows how mad I get. And now here I am, mad. I want to know what will be done about this, because I'm so upset that her last day of her first school's memento was thrown away like More...

One of the worse vada-pavs I have had. It’s just over-fried and oily aloo patty inside the pav. It’s not vadapav. It’s just a much more unhealthy and tasteless aloo burger.

Our favorite Indian place in NYC! We constantly come back for the Paneer Tikka Masala and the Samosas - best ever! And also phenomenal prices - less than $20 a head for food and drink!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was flavorful, fresh, and full of authentic taste. But the star of the meal was definitely the biryani—fragrant, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. Each bite was a burst of flavor. If you’re a biryani lover, this spot is a must-visit! More...

My fave pani puri place in the city!! Packed with flavor and such a sweet staff!

Reviewed on Google Maps

I ordered Desi Galli every single Sunday when I lived in the city. I have tried a lot of Tikka Masala and Desi Galli has hands down the best I've ever had. It's spicy, thick, and creamy. I honestly consider it perfect. Now I live in Philly and I'm desperate to get something similar but nothing comes close. Anytime I come back to visit the city, I try to stop by and get some to take home with me. Just go get the Tikka Masala with chicken or paneer. Doesn't matter which, it's all about the masala sauce. Also - Desi Galli, if you ever decide to pack and ship your sauce, I will buy. More...

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 trying their food. More...

Super good value and tasty. The chaat, saag chana, and beyond kathi rolls are my favorite. The saag chana is always the first thing I eat when I come home from a trip, and I get two meals out of it. Recommend the roll/fries/drink special and now rolls are 20% off on Saturdays. Support our neighborhood businesses! More...
