This was my first time ever trying Indian food, and I don't think I could've picked a better place…read more The guy at the front was incredibly friendly and helped me decide what to order. I originally planned on getting the chicken tikka masala, but he confidently recommended the fried momos and the butter chicken, saying they were two of the best things on the menu. He wasn't exaggerating. I ordered the fried momos, butter chicken, garlic naan, and got the medium spice level. Every single bite was incredible. I honestly don't even know how to describe the flavors because I've never tasted anything like it. The butter chicken was unbelievably rich and flavorful, the momos were amazing, and the garlic naan was so good I immediately wished I had ordered more. I even found myself thinking the medium spice level was perfect because it let all of the flavors shine instead of just focusing on heat. I probably could've handled more spice, but I honestly wouldn't change a thing. My only complaint is that I got full before I wanted to stop eating. I was genuinely upset that my stomach tapped out before I did. If you're debating what to order, you honestly can't go wrong, but if someone there recommends the butter chicken and fried momos... trust them. I'll definitely be coming back.

I ordered two of the dishes spicy (not the highest level), unfortunately the momo and paneer or almost inedible were the amount of spice in the dish! As in like burn the back of your throat off spicy!! The peas in the paneer are hard and very undercooked. The biryani is cooked well and, thankfully mildly flavored. Overall, I do not feel like I will order from this place again.

My favorite food is…read moreIndian food and I have been wanting to try this little hole on the wall family restaurant ever since it opened almost a year ago only 2 miles from my house. For date night, my boyfriend and I enjoyed a massive and authentic dinner for about $50, including tax and tip. Our food was clearly made with love from the namesake, "Desi mama," who personally waited on us and cooked our delicious dinners. My bf and I ordered kashmiri naan (a fruit, nut, and coconut naan - get this!!) and two orders of thali, (one chicken and one lamb), which is basically a generous sampler of delicious Indian food and meat curry. We loved everything, although the mango pickle was a little tough and we think the yogurt would have been better if it was a rice or tapioca yogurt instead of plain, but overall, Desi Mama gets a 9/10! We had more than enough food for yummy leftovers the next day. I am planning on getting dinner here again this weekend :) support local!

The door is wonky though...super heavy and opens weird. They have a lot of different options and premade bowls. For someone who is not very familiar with Indian food, this place makes it easy to customize and try out stuff. Nothing was too spicy or too overspiced, thankfully. Everything tasted relatively fresh but the portions are too small for the price. It's not like at Chipotle or Cilantro where they fill up your bowl. I almost never finish my portion in one sitting but I had no problem doing so here. I wish there were more veggie toppings and not just pickled ones. Scallions and cilantro would be great options to have. The mango lassi was delicious but so small. The inside is high ceilinged, spacious and has plenty of seating. The big group bench in the middle had such heavy and had awkward block seats. They were hard to get in and out of and were so uncomfortable.

The North Olmsted location has a weekend lunch buffet, which my wife and I love. Beachwood does not, BUT they have something better. I can't remember what they call it, but it's a combination of entrees, rice, bread and dessert for one price $17 or $18. You can get it as Vegetarian or non-vegetarian. It comes on a big round "bowl/dish" with smaller bowls inside (like a large masala dabba, if you know what that is). The portions are perfect. They may look small at first, but you will get full! Beachwood is a more upscale version of SP. N. Olmsted is also very nice, but a little more of a casual atmosphere. My wife and I love both of them. We just tried the Beachwood location last weekend, and it was sooooo delicious. The atmosphere is very nice, and the staff was great. Try it!!!

Decor is amazing! We order non-veg thali (platter) as this place doesn't have buffet. For $15 you get chicken, lamb, Dal, veg kofta. Raita. One samosa one pakora, rice pudding for dessert. Nice for the price. No other lunch menu. And that's where it ends. No one from our group liked any of the items. Lamb tasted kinda sweet and meat was tough. Chicken Tikka masala was thick with sauce but no taste. And all the items in the thali was the same. The raita was very salty, rice pudding d was tooooo sweet and flavorless!!! Will not go back, do not recommend. Regular menu items are very pricey!! Serving was very good.

I don't know how I've been alive for 36.5 years and hadn't tried samosa pizza before now. I kept saying aloud, "every bite just gets better and better." There are a lot of great Indian restaurants in the Cleveland area, and even just Parma. This now ranks as my favorite. On top of that, the vibes and ambience are very chill. Great decor. A+++; 10/10; 5 stars; Siskel and Ebert give it two thumbs up. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

This year's birthday outing took us to northern shores, thundering waterfalls and Masala Monsoon! We arrived hungry after hiking at CVNP. Very strikingly pretty decor! We loved the free crunchy snacks and fresh mint chutney. We started with the Lasuni Gobi appetizer, a fried cauliflower in chili sauce that rocked both our worlds. We wanted to try the Velvet Broccoli, another vegetarian dish, but alas it somehow came contaminated with chicken. Thankfully, the staff rectified the situation and we got a second order of the incredible Lasuni Gobi instead. I had a new-to-me curry, the Lababdar paneer, which was utterly delicious and perfectly spiced. We shared the bread basket and bestie had a mild veggie curry. We were treated to the Gulab jamun for dessert on the house. Love the romantic decor, awesome grub and friendly helpful service. We will be back!

I don't live nearby, so a return trip isn't likely--but if I did, I'd be a regular, working my way through the menu like a mission. Delicious food. No frills. Quiet magic.

We ordered takeout and I was so excited since I love Indian. When we arrived the food was not ready and the place was dimly lite and completely empty. It was over lunch time so I was concerned when it was empty. We paid and took the food home to eat. Both dishes we got were oddly colored and had little to no meat. The rice was horrible, the sauce had no flavor. It honestly was inedible. I took one bite and spit it out. It smelled weird and rancid, and was so awful I feared we would get food poisoning. This place should be shut down, Dingy dark, the back room is filled with trash it looks like. Oh and besides inedible food you pay a lot for the food you get it's overpriced.
