What Poorva R doesn't like about Masala Desi Cafe:
The quality of the food here has noticeably declined. The Paneer Butter Masala Curry and Dal Makhani Curry were both very bland and seemed to be made with old oil or butter. The Veg Samosa (2 pieces) was disappointing—greasy and quite tough. The only redeeming item was the Garlic Naan, but unfortunately, it was overly burnt as well. View all feedback. What User likes about Masala Desi Cafe:
We enjoyed vegan vegetable samosas, vegan veggie korma, and vegan chana masala, all of which were excellent. The vegan oat milk chai was just okay—not very well seasoned.

Butter chicken, garlic naan and chicken biryani is a must

Not only Butter Chicken had just a couple of pieces of chicken and a ton of sauce but also the flavour was just okay. We like Rasoi better.

I order from here all the time, and everything is truly fantastic. The burrito is a great fusion dish as well!

The biryani was delicious, perfectly spiced, and made with fresh ingredients. It’s definitely the best Paneer Biryani in the peninsula!
