New to the Bay Area and wanted to try a new cuisine and couldn't have nailed it any better with Desilicious! Service was excellent, and the employees were more than happy to explain some of the dishes! Their recommendation was spot on with our pallets! Will definitely be returning to try their other options.
Highly recommend the Chicken Karahi and the Goat Balti! Also one of the best Mango Lassis I've had!

Food lacked flavor. The worker bragged about the goat before I tasted it. I wanted her claims to be accurate. Goat Balti was very tender but that was all it had going for it. There was hardly any flavor and it was very mild. Where was the spice?
The garlic naan was bereft of garlic and butter.
With so many restaurants selling goat and naan you have to step up the taste game. It was the least flavorful goat but it was the most tender goat.

A welcoming place where everyone makes you feel at home! Delicious food with a perfect balance of spices, fresh made, generous serving size and perfect quantity of meat. We ordered palak gosht (A traditional Pakistani dish with spinach and goat meat), goat karahi, daal (lentils) and naan. Everything was so good. It is really hard to choose which one was the best! My personal favorite was karahi. Looking forward to going there again and try rest at the menu. Highly recommend, please do try.

Halwa puri is a favorite and is fantastic for weekend brunch! This is the best place to try it. All food tastes fresh and very well prepared. Chai is also strong tasty. They often make food from scratch (hence the freshness and quality), so that means waiting a bit longer, but it's always worth it.
We stumbled upon this little casual gem of a restaurant on a Sunday night after shopping at JLS. We were a little doubtful at first because the business was very light on a Sunday evening. The two of us ordered the desi chop lamb masala, chicken tikka, briyani, paratha and seasonal vegetables, which I asked for it to be only cauliflower. The order taker/server suggested we go upstairs and wait for the food. We sat and waited for 15 minutes upstairs in a sparely decorated but clean space. We could hear them cooking away downstairs. When the food arrived, we were surprised at the quantity! The plate of chicken and lamb were more than what you get in a restaurant. They also served us yogurt and tamarind along with what we ordered.
Everything was delicious! It tasted so fresh so it was worth the wait. The meats were tender and I loved my cauliflower. There was so much food that we ate it for dinner the next day. Honestly, I’m so happy to have found this place because we have been going to SF for our Pakistani food kick. The prices were great and the service was super kind and gentle. The only thing we found weird was the water that they served. It tasted like it had chlorine or something odd in it. We will definitely be back for the food!
