This is my second time coming here. It wasn’t very busy on a Saturday night. The parking lot has a sufficient amount of parking. We ordered shikanjvi, aam ki lassi (mango lassi), dahi bhalla, chicken ghee roast, lamb badami, and garlic mozzarella naan. Btw you’ll have to order basmati rice separately since it does not automatically come with the entrees. Prices are competitive with other Indian restaurants. Portion sizes are not tiny but adequate. You’ll definitely leave full after your meal. Service was great. They do add 3% if you use a card.
-shikanjvi 5 – North Indian lemonade with lime, mint, and black salt. This is very good. Not sour just right. I wished there were refills on this.
-dahi bhalla 5 – they’re like fried dumplings with yogurt sauce. It’s pretty good and worth trying out.
-chicken ghee roast 5 – just a fair warning but mild is still spicy. I don’t recommend it if you can’t stand spicy food at all. The chicken pieces are very tender and can easily be cut up. It has a nice aroma.
-lamb badami 5 – I like that it has a strong almond taste mixed with the very tender lamb. Perfect with rice or naan.
-garlic mozzarella naan 5 – we usually get garlic naan but this one was delicious.

Highly recommend The Desi Accent restaurant! A must go place for good food, service, hospitality and ambience. I hosted my Financial Empowerment Seminar this past Saturday and it was a huge success. The place was perfect for hosting my event. Suparna was very welcoming and easy to work with from planning and executing the event. My guests were very impressed with the knowledge they received and food was plentiful. Staff was very attentive to our needs. Restaurant was very clean and my pet peeve- bathroom was super clean. Will definitely be hosting my next event here
Thanks Desi Accent staff and management team

Desi Accent is hands down one of the best Indian dining experiences I’ve had. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, elegant, and inviting — a perfect blend of modern sophistication and traditional Indian charm.
The food was exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with authentic, well-balanced flavors. You can truly taste the quality of ingredients and the care that goes into each preparation. The spices were layered and refined — bold without being overpowering. Whether you’re a fan of classic Indian favorites or looking to try something more contemporary, Desi Accent delivers on every level.
The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. They offered thoughtful recommendations and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal.
If you’re looking for elevated Indian cuisine with impeccable service and an upscale yet comfortable atmosphere, Desi Accent is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return!

Easily my new favorite Indian restaurant in the area. A wide selection of authentic dishes with several variations that give each diner the opportunity to truly customize their experience. There’s even an entire section of the menu dedicated to the varieties of Naan they offer. The food was delicious and everyone at our table left with full bellies and smiles on their faces. Will come here again!

We had such a great experience at The Desi Accent! Every single dish we tried was packed with yummy flavors and you could really taste the effort and uniqueness in each one. Nothing felt repetitive, and everything was just so tasty. I’ve gone to so many Indian restaurants over the years and this place truly stood out.
In addition, the staff were kind and attentive — they made us feel right at home and were happy to answer questions or make suggestions.
On top of the food and service, the cocktails had fun names and were all good! All in all, great spot for amazing Indian food, awesome service, and a fun night out. Definitely coming back!

We had the Palak Paneer, Baingan Bharta, Basmati Rice and the Garlic Naan. The food was delicious. The Baingan Bharta had a hint of spice which was a low key party to my taste buds. The naan was on point! Had a good crispiness and the right amount of garlic. I would recommend eating here.
The bathrooms were clean and a liked the shiny floor tile in the women’s bathroom. The music selection was modern hits with an acoustic feel to it.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars for everything was that I was surprised the rice did not come included with the entree and we were only provided with one water carafe. Once it was empty we did not get a refill but it was taken away completely. Eating Indian food requires more water for palates not accustomed to the fare.
However, I would definitely come back here. By far one of my top 3 Indian restaurants thus far from moving to the area.

First time visiting this place with a group of friends and the food was delicious! I had the Lamb biriyarti, cooked very well, the meat was soft and tender and the herbs/ spices gave me a kick but it was still good! The atmosphere is laid back, not so noisy and Family friendly. I will definitely be back!

Absolutely DELICIOUS! Came from out of state and saw this. Had to go as I didnt want the normal stuff that a lot of people go too. My wife is Pakistani so I was missing a little bit of home eventhough I am the one that cooks but when we go to family events it’s on when it comes to Desi food. Place is peaceful, delicious, and just wonderful. Its a must stop.
