Service was great. All food was amazing! I will say I was hesitant to order, but I can't wait to try more.

We ordered delivery through grubhub through Yelp. Advertised as 1.99 delivery but charged about 9$. Not a huge deal if you really was not delivery. Food was medium temperature upon arrival and didn't seem hot enough for a place a mile away. Taste was fair. The veggie korma was too sweet for my taste although it was my MIL favorite. The tikka masala flavor was superior to the butter chicken. Overall just ok to me. Our naan was cold but heated well. Again just ok. read more

This was my second time ever having Indian food (I know, I know). My group of 3 got samosas, garlic naan, and entrees. I had the butter chicken and I really liked it but our server (who was responsible for basically the entire restaurant it seemed) forgot my extra side of naan which was a bummer. The service was kinda meh but I would come back for takeout. Also, I've never had a server read the total to me out loud when giving me a bill. So, that was weird. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch solo. I always love butter paneer or Paneer tikka masala. We also like many other dishes from this restaurant. They don't disappoint. The ambience isn't the best and the wait staff is kind of slow sometimes but if you're looking for a good Indian restaurant this is a place to go. We will be returning here again and again. The rice and naan are also delicious and very fluffy. read more

Deshi Kitchen Indian Cuisine - Paneer Butter Masala - Indian Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

I only made palak paneer at home so I don't know what it's suppose to taste like haha. But the palak paneer was creamy and sweeter and I tasted a lot of ghee. First time trying Kashmiri naan but I prefer garlic naan or paratha. The Hakka noodles is like a spiced up lo mein, I thought it was good but not great. Estimated take out was 40 minutes, ended up being 50 but got everything super fresh and hot! So it was nice to eat it fresh. Also during lunch time. I would order here again but order in advance or expect to wait. Seems like they don't have a lot of staff so be patient. Host was very kind and apologetic read more

Wanted to try this place for awhile and finally got over there. We went on a Friday night and they weren't too busy with the sit down customers but the carry out business was pretty steady. I read some reviews and recommended that my friend order the Butter Chicken and I ordered the Channa Masala. Each order had the choice of rice or the bread. My friend got the rice and I ordered Naan Bread. I ordered the Channa Masala with medium spice and my friend got the Butter Chicken with mild spice. The food was so delicious and the portions were large. We both ended up getting carry out boxes for the leftovers. I can't wait to go back to try more of the great sounding options from their menu. read more

I always dine out on Christmas Day as it's a tradition I've had since forever. Normally, we get Chinese food, but we had issues with finding a sit down place that was open, so we ended up coming here. John's new to the Indian food scene, but I have some experience in this department so I'm a bit more confident and comfortable when dining at these places. Walking in, the place has decent seating, but the service here was awfully slow. The man who ended up being our waiter basically ignored us when we walked in and we had to wait for the actual host to seat us. We got our menus and they looked really good with the food selection. Lots to choose from with a good description of what food it is. We ended up going with the butter chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala. It came with rice and the food was wonderfully presented and really really tasty. It's on the pricier side of things, but well worth the money. Loved the food! My only complaint? Service here was poor. Waiter didn't seem to want to be there, and basically ignored us for most of the night. I had to hunt him down near the end for our bill, and that was after him barely being around. Also, they served canned pop here. I don't mind canned pop, but why no fountain drinks? Anyway, if the service was better I'd knock it up a star, but this place is legit in their food and presentation. place is clean as well! Loved it! read more

Great food if your looking for authentic Indian cuisine, recommend pick up orders they're really fast

It's so nice to have such a good Indian restaurant in the neighborhood and so good too. We've been coming here for several months every time we crave Indian food. They have a pretty extensive menu and everything we've ordered thus far has been nothing but great. I highly recommend ordering the Cut Mirch appetizer. We heard this is a very popular dish at this restaurant so we decided to try it. We've been hooked ever since and now order it each time we come here. It's made with banana peppers dipped in a batter and topped with seasonings, crushed peanut, fresh onion and cilantro. Other delicious dishes we've tried over the past several months: Dal Makhani, Aloo Gobi, Lamb Korma, Malai Murg Kurma, Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala. Their seasonings are flavorful so it doesn't taste like bland Indian food. If you know Indian food you'll be able to taste the difference. We look forward to trying more dishes in the future like their Biriyani's, and their Hyderbadi and Indo-Chinese dishes. Service has always been good for us and our servers always pleasant, very attentive and helpful when describing the dishes or making suggestions when asked. Interior is very simple, clean with plenty of seating. By the way, their naan is very good also, especially the garlic naan! read more

20% off discount if you check-in this for this whole month, since they are new. They are open until 9:30pm on Tuesday. They have only been open for a couple of weeks. The interior looks like it used to be a diner. We ordered vegetable korma, butter chicken, channa masala and a butter chicken. No Dosa here, it's a South Indian thing as what we were told. It's funny how we get confused expressions and comebacks to make sure we really don't want any rice or naan or bread. The gobi manchurian is nice and crunchy and spicy and yummy. The sauce is so good, nice flavor, nice heat and slightly gingery too. The butter chicken is good, tasty sauce. The chicken slices are tender. The Chana masala is good, decent flavor. The veggie korma is yummy, the sauce is thick, creamy and flavorful. The gobi manchurian, butter chicken and veggie korma are all so good here. Service is also friendly and attentive as well. read more

Samosas were very good it was my first time trying them, the chicken tikki masala wasn't as good as others i've tried though. the restaurant is very clean and cute it was my first time coming inside, the man at the front door was very kind. i would try food from this place again read more

Got some Carryout from the newest Indian restaurant over on the east side! Prompt service and very easy to order online, always a bonus. I always go with the same thing for my first order; garlic naan and chicken tikka masala. When you order, you have the choice between biriyani rice or standard naan. I always thought most places gave you both but I could be wrong. The chicken tikka was really good, very flavorful and of course you can get the heat level to your liking. The garlic naan was good, but there were some giant pieces of garlic on there. Not a problem for me, I love garlic but it was just an observation. As places start getting back to normal, I look forward to dining in and eating this amazing food fresh! Overall, a very good meal and definitely worth checking out. read more

I absolutely love the food here. Been about 4 months where I come in atleast once a week. The chicken hot and sour soup is to die for! Chicken tikka masala is the most tastiest dish I ever had. Cheese paratha goes perfect with the dish and soup. When the food is this good , I don't care about anything else. Blessed is the chefs and cooks in the kitchen whipping it up! I'm middle Eastern so believe me. I know good food!! read more

Deshi Kitchen Indian Cuisine - The Special Chicken Biryani is amazing! - Indian Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

Thanks to Grubhub, I discovered this excellent Indian restaurant only 15 minutes from my house! I've ordered from here twice in the last four days because I liked it that much. The food is legit incredible. I decided to try the cut mirch based on the reviews, and wow, what a unique and delicious dish! I'm not sure what spices are added to it, but it has a VERY strong aroma and I almost felt sorry for my delivery person because her car must have smelled like that for days lol.. The Palak Paneer was the best I've ever had. I took one bite and I wanted to cry because it was so good. This restaurant does their spices well, and everything tastes very fresh. Also tried the Paneer Butter Masala (I love paneer!) and while it was very good, I definitely prefer something spicier. I would love a paneer madras or vindaloo, haha Their rice is cooked perfectly, no issues there. And they are generous with all of their portions (yay leftovers!) The Naan was pillowy perfection, and never became "chewy" like some do after they cool off. The Kashmiri naan was amazing, with cherries and pineapple baked in. The paratha was very good too, though heavier and richer (thanks to all the butter used in making it) than the naan. Let's talk desserts. The Gulab Jamun was great, and instead of receiving the rice pudding that I ordered, I was sent Rasmali - something I've never had before - and I'm happy that they made that mistake, because I really really loved it! I'll definitely order it again. This is now my new go-to for Indian food. Thanks, Grubhub ;) read more

This place is pretty incredible! We started with the samosas that were tender and savory inside and crispy outside. We went overboard with 3 entrees between the two of us, but I am so glad we did. We had chicken bhuna. The menu says medium spicy and we were able to order it mild plus which was perfect for our taste. The chicken was tender and amazingly aromatic. The combination of spices are something I have only dreamed of before. Channa Masala is one of my favorite Indian dishes and this one was one of the best I have ever had. The combination of spices was amazing. I could close my eyes and just smell their Channa Masala and live happily ever after. We also had Palak Paneer which is my favorite Indian dish. It is spinach and cheese. It isn't much to look at, but it was amazing, and definitely the best I have ever had. The combination of spices and just a hint of sweet were unbelievably good. I seriously didn't want to stop eating, because it was that good. I had to make myself stop! We had regular naan and garlic naan that were both great! Portions are pretty big, we brought home enough for both of us to have another full meal. My only complaint and really it isn't, is that it took almost half an hour to get our food, but not only was it worth the wait, each dish is prepared fresh and for that you have to wait. So don't go there when you are in a hurry, go when you can enjoy the time with your companion, because perfection takes time. read more

I knew we were going to go out to dinner, but none of the regular places sounded good. So we decided to try something different, and Indian was it. It's a pretty spartan interior, so don't expect anything fancy. The menu is quite extensive, with lots of choices you know, and some that are probably new unless you eat a lot of Indian food. I don't have it that often, so I went with butter chicken, which I had been in the mood for. I really like that they have different spice levels, which I don't think I've ever been asked at an Indian place. And be careful what you ask for - this is not Chinese restaurant spice we're talking about - they give Thai places a run for their money. I got medium, and it cleaned out my sinuses quite well. My wife got mild, and it still had a kick. The portions are really good and a nice value, so you'll probably have leftovers. Service was fine, they were busy with a lot of carry out. Our server had a bit of a language barrier, but he might not have normally done that job and we managed collectively well enough to put in our orders. This is definitely one of the tastiest Indian restaurants I've been to in the area! read more

OMG I can not say enough good about this amazing place. The food was utterly fantastic!!! My fiance and I are total lovers of Indian cuisine. We ordered the cut mirch, channa masala, thadka daal, Bullet Naan, and kashmir Naan. It was so mouth watering delicious. I have been eating Indian food with Derrick for the last 5 years and it is my new favorite food. The owner was just incredible, everything we wanted she did happily for us. We asked for pickle and hot chilies. I have found my new go to place on our neighborhood. Please check them out. You will be so glad you did. The owner actually cried when I shared our love story with her. The experience was priceless. read more

Try the various breads. The taste and texture of the breads make it clear it's one of their specialties. The Kashmiri bread was sweet with raisins? and savory at the same time. It was folded, and slightly thicker than the more light, naan-like ones. There are several to choose from. We Love this place. The Thadka Dhal is exceptional, and the best of any number of Indian restaurants I've tried. The Chana Masala was excellent, and had a hearty home-cooked taste with a very subtle tang. The tamarind chutney deserves special mention. It's so thick and delicious. Easily the best out there. Go to Deshi Kitchen. Talk to the wonderful owners. Get a Cut Mirch for sure. Eat a bowl of hot and sour soup. Have fun. read more

First time trying out this place, definitely won't be the last! My boyfriend and I were craving Indian cuisine and at first we weren't too sure about this place since it was more expensive than the usual places that we go to. So glad that we tried this place out though! We had the curry chicken, chicken tikka masala, and naan on the side. DELICIOUS!! Hits the spot and satisfied our cravings. Portion and quality was good. Worth the price for sure. Glad that we found a new favorite restaurant near us. read more

This place is amazing. We originally found them on Door Dash and they did not disappoint. We decided to eat in today and it was everything we hoped for and more. Their carry out service while we were dining in was super busy but they were still attentive to our needs. Food is superior and fresh and the staff is very courteous and friendly. Highly recommended. read more

This is literally the worst Indian food I've ever had! We ordered the Butter Chicken and the Palak Paneer. We had white rice and naan. The naan was hard as a rock and hardly edible. The rice tasted like it was five days old and was also hard. The food was not even that warm. This is the first time that we tried this place....and the last time! I hope to find a good Indian restaurant that I can start doing carry out at. Ugh. read more

Very good, in fact. This is just my first time here, but the food and service leave a very good impression with me, and I'm glad that they're here. Please understand that they're taking over the spot formerly occupied by a Phoenix Coney Island, and that's *exactly* how the place currently looks: like a bit of a worn-down coney island that's been not kept up as it should have been. It's going to take some time for them to get this place to be looking as it should, so know going in that atmosphere is not going to be one of the draws of the place. Having said that? The food definitely is. I was given the nod to this place by a fellow Yelper (thanks Nora!) who had tried several dishes the night before and came back with glowing reviews, and that drew me to check out their menu online, and there it was: lamb madras curry, a standard for Indian food for me, and one that strangely doesn't appear on all that many Indian restaurant menus, I've found. Earned them a visit today. I was amused that, when I went inside, I was quickly told that it was an Indian restaurant now...not a coney island. They must be getting a lot of that. I assured him that, yes: I knew, and I was starving for some lamb madras curry. He asked if I wanted basmati rice or naan with it, and the truth was that I wanted both, but chose the rice, and then got some naan additionally. Not one part of the food they served me was anything less than very good. The only reason that some of it went (currently) uneaten was that I wanted to have some of it for later on tonight. I did ask them to add some onions, peppers, and carrots to my madras curry, which they kindly did, and all of the vegetables were of lovely color, texture, and taste...they didn't overcook them at all. The lamb had nice flavor, the sauce was spot-on, and the starches were plenty good as well. I look forward to trying their Gobi Manchurian, and perhaps some other dishes as well...but I do tend to be a sucker for a good lamb madras curry. I'll have to branch out a bit. Really, the only criticism I could levy is on the facility itself, but it's really not fair to do that when it's *such* early days. The food is certainly legit, and the service is just fine. I was glad to be able to sit down and watch the Tigers play some of their Opening Day game. It was relaxing. Go ahead and welcome this place to the community, Macomb County. It might not be anything to look at, but the food will make you just not care about that aspect of it. It's very good, it's pretty affordable, and they're trying to make a go of it in this market. Here's hoping they succeed if they can continue the quality. read more

Ok, I'm not an Indian food expert by any means. As a matter of fact, I just was recently introduced to Indian food a few months ago. This restaurant is wonderful! Absolutely fantastic service and food! It's small, and new so I am sure there are growing pains but the food was fresh, hot and so perfect! I can say with 100% certainty that we will be back. We brought a few friends with us that had never tried this type of food before, and I learned their leftovers did t even make it to the next day. I certainly hope this place does well and stays open for a very long time! Thank you for the delicious meal and the hospitality! read more

The food is a little expensive, and the servings per dish isn't a lot, but it's really good! Great phone service as well. The food is prepared fairly quickly, and always comes very hot and fresh.

After seeing such positive reviews I decided to give Deshi a try - and I'm so glad I did! I got the chana masala (the chickpeas) with garlic naan bread, and the chicken tikka masala. The chana masala was the best I've ever had, and I've ate it at many Indian restaurants. The flavors were out of this world! The chicken tikka masala was a huge portion, the perfect spice level (you choose between mild, medium, and spicy. I chose medium). And so extremely flavorful. Prices are pretty cheap too compared to the portion sizes and overall value of the food. If you like spices and seasoning, you will love this place. In my honest opinion this is the best Indian restaurant in the metro Detroit area. Highly recommended! read more

I was pleasantly surprised finding this Indian restaurant so close to my place. Food was amazing!! I ordered veg biryani & malai kofta. Both were delicious, fresh with perfect spices & aroma.

This was our first time going to Deshi Kitchen. It was recommended by a friend and my son and I love Indian food. The place is in a strip mall (was formerly a diner).
