I love Indian food and my significant other is rather new to the cuisine. We saw this place was highly reviewed in town and wanted to give it a shot, and we had a wonderful experience. We ordered many things including vegetable samosas, egg noodles, chana saag, tandoori chicken, and garlic naan. Everything was delicious! I especially loved the chana saag and garlic naan and my significant other loved the noodles. Only critique may be that the tandoori chicken was quite small, might go with the kebabs ne ça t time. The staff was incredibly kind, helpful with questions, and service was very prompt. They offer a cash discount as well when it comes time to pay the bill. We will definitely be returning!

The best Indian food I’ve ever had, and I have had quite a bit! Really flavorful spicing on the dishes, tasty meat, nice garnishes, good level of heat. The garlic naan, tandoori chicken, and chicken vindaloo were excellent. Our favorite thing was the Indo-Manchurian fried paneer with chili garlic sauce. The music videos projected on the wall are great for atmosphere too.

Last night was my 1st time visiting this restaurant and I was Very pleased with the customer service, location was super easy to find and the Food was Delicious ! If you don’t like spicy food (like I Do) you will want to say something about that because the normal spice was Awesome for my tastes, but I know my wife wouldn’t be able to handle it, lol… The cost was Very affordable and a Great value for the quality of the food and service! Definitely going to have to recommend eating here and make sure to bring your family and friends!

The team is very courteous and welcoming. The food is excellent with the right level of spices so all can eat. On top of it, all the meat is #Halal. I tried Tandori Chicken. The serving consisted of four pieces. All of them were a juicy which enhances the taste vs. dry pieces. Rasam Soup was something new for me. It was spicy with slight tanginess. Plain Naan was excellent coming out straight from the oven.

We were met with friendly faces and delicious food. This is “by far” the best Authentic Indian Food I’ve ever had in the U.S. The family was gracious and very courteous. The food was timely and cooked to perfection. We ordered ours with medium heat, but you have many options from none to blazing. I left happy and stuffed. I will be going back again. Desi made me a believer. Thank You

Solid spot for Indian food on quad cities. Gobi Manchurian was our favorite, crispy and juicy inside with a nice kick to it. The tendoori chicken was also good, a nice aromatic grill. We also got the Andrha curry as well which was good but it’s very aromatic and also a bone in curry, might be a better option.

I came here for the first time today for lunch with Family! It was absolutely fantastic. They have a wonderful menu with many different vegetarian and non-vegetarian options as well as different types of dosas. The food was delicious and served fresh. In addition, the service was spectacular and we were asked multiple times whether everything was OK and whether we were satisfied with the food options and delivery. It looks like they are also very adept and popular with takeout orders as there were multiple patrons coming in for takeout orders. The food also was surprisingly not too spicy, which was important for our family. Portion sites were excellent as well. Would highly recommend without any reservation to come here!

This was my first time trying Indian food and wow — Desi Monks did not disappoint! Per their recommendation—I had the Chicken Mughiai, Garlic Naan, and Masala Chai, and everything was absolutely stellar!! Amar was my server and he was amazing — super friendly and attentive. 10/10 recommend! I’ll definitely be coming back!

You need to eat here! Delicious and flavorful food, generous servings (prices are great!), honest recommendations, friendly staff. And, I cannot say enough about how CLEAN everything is – dishes, silverware, and crystal clear glasses. Don’t think twice, just go. You won’t be disappointed! (my apologies for my pictures – we decided to take them
AFTER we dug in.) Pictured are our appetizers.

It started with the sticky floor when we walked in. Then no ice for my Coke. It was lukewarm. Then no mango chutney and she looked at me like I was crazy for asking. Then my dosa which had barely any filling at all. Then the grease underneath the dosa. Then the funny taste in everything we ordered. Then the sticky floor in men’s room as per my spouse.
It was just bad, bad, bad and I cannot believe all of the outstanding reviews.
There will be no next time.
