One of my friends told me about this restaurant. Went for a lunch and I loved the food. Best Indian food downtown. I had a Punjabi butter chicken, garlic nan and mutton biryani. Best value for the money as well. Loved the experience. customer friendly staff.
Ate here after the March For Our Lives with the family. Brand new place, the guys running it are still finding their footing, but excellent food. The 555 chicken was terrific, and the mango lassi was wonderful. Give them a try!
I've been working in Terminal Tower for 4 months now and this is by far my favorite downtown takeout spot. Want a LOT of food for your money? Desi 101. Want a high quality:cost ratio? Desi 101. I'm not even that into Indian food, this place is just awesome. They fill the to-go containers to the point of having difficulty closing it; this photo was after I'd already eaten a few large bites. The staff is friendly, and as long as you're not there when they're slammed, happy to help out a bumbling white guy like me figure out what the dishes are. I'm critical of restaurants after a few years working in them, but I have nothing but nice things to say about Desi 101.
It's a good place if you love spicy food. I am not a big fan of spices but I think they serve a good food. It feels good having hot, spicy Indian food once in a while. I tried veg biryani and Manchurian. It tasted good.
Since I got take-out here, I can't rate the quality of service or atmosphere. However, the food is amazing.
The egg biryani was excellent, not to mention a very generous portion. I like very spicy biryani so they included a sauce on the side to add as desired.
I also tried the chicken tikka masala. The flavor is great and the sauce was rich and delicious. I particularly enjoyed dipping naan in the sauce.
Finally, I also tried the szechuan chicken (mostly since I was so intrigued by it being on the menu.) It was very spicy and SO GOOD. I've been to other Indian restaurants that make a similar dish though it is usually called "chicken 65".
This place will likely be my new go-to for Indian take-out!
I visited this place four times in last two weeks, We visited this restaurant last night (06.30.18). This is one of the most delicious Indian meals we have ever eaten. The menu is extensive and varied and caters for all tastes of Indian cuisine. We had the Asia platter (for 2) to start and this was absolutely delicious. For mains we had Paneer tikka masal and Malai Kofta, both wonderful and filling. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. I listened in to other diner's commenting on their meal and all was positive. We will certainly go back here.
Second time I am giving a review about this restaurant. This time I tried mutton ghee roast and chicken biryani. Wow. Definately the best I have had till now in Cleveland. I enjoyed every single moment, every single bite. I would give 10 starts out of 5. Everone should try this restaurant. Even though its a bit of a walk for me from the university I make sure I come to this place. As long as I am in Cleveland this is the only place I would go for Indian food.
My favorite place to eat lunch when i am at work. Food tastes like homemade, very quick service and nice people. I am out from the restaurant in 30 minutes. If you love spicy indian food, it will be your favorite too, in no time :)
Delightful north Indian food. I like the taste and medium spicy preparation of their gravy's. They do have economy bowl options during lunch hours.
Good and clean place.
As a tourist, I thought it might be ok food, so ordered appetizers only, but eventually ended ordering main course too.
Just like everyone mentioned in review, food is really good. I was waiting to write review in morning, to see if I have heartburn problem in night, but everything absolutely fine.
Dont judge place by just looking. Try yourself.
The Gobi Macho are basically the best cauliflower wings you can get. Firey and sweet they were amazing. The Malai Kofta was rich and creamy. The dumplings were packed with flavor. I loved this place.
It’s a new restaurant, replacing the the old Copper Bowl!
Amazing new restaurant in the downtown area. Really cool and modern interior - awesome place for after work meal with clients. Food is authentic but also current and upbeat. Really love this place and have had Very Good experiences here!
