Good authentic food. The quality and the taste of the food is really good. If you are missing food away from home this is the place to be. Service might take some while to serve but it is worth the wait.

Having been on a health and fitness binge since November, Desi Pakwan was one of the unwelcomed sacrifices that I would struggle with the most. Today was treat day and as always, it's worth it.
Now, I have been critical of their delivery times in the past, which on occasion has taken over 1 1/2 hours, but I should say that each time it has been worth the wait. It even taught Sarah and I to order earlier!
What I like most about Desi Pakwan is that every dish is clearly prepared fresh (if you wanted further confirmation, they have an open kitchen if you choose to collect/dine in) and is always consistent. I usually go for the North Indian bhuna because I love how the heat kind of catches up on you have way through eating, with the crunch of green chilli and tender chicken tikka deliciously coated in a rich, garlicky sauce. I also recommend the Acaari Handi.
Sarah normal goes for the garlic masaledar, which again is always a really satisfying eat. Their naan breads are always light and, again, made in full view of the customers.
I'm surprised by the low score of this place on Zomato; I could put it down to the sometimes unacceptable delivery times, but I've had the food here on many occasions, and it's always been very well received.

Not sure why this place has such a low score because in my opinion it's the best Indian/Punjabi cuisine available in the city.
As mentioned elsewhere, the interior is a little bit sparse, almost canteen-like, so I would recommend takeaway or delivery. Deliveries normally take an hour at least so it's not the fastest food in the world but it is outstanding. I have ordered several times now and I really can't fault the quality. The grill specialities are particularly impressive.
I've removed 0.5 from a perfect 5.0 rating solely due to the time it takes for delivery. Otherwise this place is highly recommended.
