• Indian • Burnaby

Desi Turka Indian Cuisine delivers the authentic flavors of India to its guests. The restaurant itself is family owned and operated and has become a staple of the local neighborhood. One important thing for guests to note is that Desi Turka Indian Cuisine is closed on Tuesday, so patrons should make their plans accordingly.Desi Turka's menu features over 62 authentic Indian dishes. Many people avoid Indian food because they believe it is too spicy. Fortunately, the kitchen staff at Desi Turka are more than happy to make most dishes as spicy or as mild as guests would like them to be. The signature items of the house are the tandoori specials, which are meals that are baked in a special clay oven called a tandoor. This locks the flavor in and keeps the proteins moist and juicy.

We, three girlfriends, went there for an early dinner. The service was very attentive, and the homemade ravioli was refreshing and exquisite! I highly recommend it for lovers of authentic Italian home cooking.

Our server was helpful and accommodated a change to the menu for an allergy. He was patient and around just enough. The food was so delicious and flavourful. My favourite was the taro chips and dip. The prawns were also delish. Even though we were seated on the outdoor patio in December, it was warm enough. Just wish there were slightly more substantial chairs. We were seated on very small stools.
