Desi Chef
Menu
The menu of Desi Chef from Somerville contains about 95 different dishes and drinks. On average you pay about $10.0 for a dish / drink.
The culinary experience at this restaurant offers a striking contrast, as reviews highlight both remarkable dishes and disappointing choices. While some patrons rave about the sumptuous chicken tikka masala and well-spiced biryani, others report bland or excessively salty dishes like chole bhature and stale aloo bonda. Delivery orders occasionally miss the mark, presenting variations that stray from expectations. Nonetheless, the affordability and freshness of items like samosas and dosa have garnered positive feedback. While some diners embrace the flavors, others caution against certain menu items, making this establishment a gamble worth considering.

Was Jorge Granja at Desi Chef a mag?
What a nice surprise, I got the chicken Tikka masala, I looked up places by my job and this popped up and it was amazing. Will go back again to try some different meals. View all feedback.
What Anurag J dislikes about Desi Chef:
Aloo bonda was stale and chole bhature had excessive salt in chole and bhature were undercooked. I threw the food in the bin after 2 bites. Never ordering from here again. View all feedback.
Paneer Butter Masala Gravy not good at all. Vegetable Manchurian also not at all good. Quality degraded.
Food taste and quality is bad and sometimes stale. The chef needs to change at this restaurant. This was the last time I ordered from here.
Very delicious, actually used cream instead of water based. not too spicy but not bland either, perfection, comes with side of white rice
Do not border from here unless you want to have Go issues for a week. I ordered chicken biryani and tandoori chicken and it was old chicken that was probably reheated three times. It was dry and hard as cardboard. $40 wasted!
We've gotten takeout from Desi Chef a few times and are absolutely amazed at the flavors and spice levels. We ordered online and the food was always ready when promised, within a minute or two. The pakura batter is a bit thicker than we are used to, but not in a bad way, it has a warm feeling that feels like a hug. The Tikka masala is absolutely on par and just spicy enough to get the average white guy a little sniffly. While the store itself might be a little simple from the outside, everything inside is what counts. The warm hug of amazing cuisine and the endless supply of Indian groceries and spices make an great addition to the variety of cultures Somerville's food scene offers. Please try this place if you like Indian cuisine. Please try this place if you like food. You won't be disappointed. It's a place that definitely belongs on a Food network or travel show.
