My wife and I visited Desi for the first time this evening and were immediately impressed. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the food outstanding.

Fantastic gem of a place. Service is top notch & welcoming. Food is beyond delicious & nice portion sizes. Would definitely recommend & visit again. Yum!
One of the best restaurants in Portsmouth! Having lived in India, this place is seriously good, traditional, home cooked food. The railway lamb and sev puri are particularly incredible
Authentic food at its best.
The Sev Pur menu description is not wrong “a thrilling burst of ecstasy”.
Food is spicy but very enjoyable.
Can’t wait to visit against.
Food is on par with top London restaurants, I'm not kidding! Must try if your visiting Portsmouth. Only a few low points in my opinion; chicken was a little rubbery (frozen) and the toilets are small. Doesn't reduce the 5* rating as there are 98 high points.
We will be visiting again soon 😊
Beautiful little restaurant. About 12 tables or so but very welcoming. Staff are very attentive and the food is delicious. We thought the prices were very reasonable and portions were generous. Lovely atmosphere and great decor. Very similar to Dishoom! If only they did breakfast!
The best Indian restaurant in Portsmouth! In my opinion it’s the most authentic to Indian home cooked food, every dish is so tasty and never disappoints. The service is 5 stars and everyone is so friendly. My personal favourites are the Kerala Fish and Sev Puri. Thank you Desi for another wonderful
