    We loved Desi and are looking forward to going back! The food was amazing! Both curries had delicious flavor and the chicken was so tender. All our servers were so nice too! Beautiful decor inside as well. Can't wait to go back with friends and try more food!

    Being from India i expected the regular cuisine but OMG it's outstanding. Absolutely stunning dishes, fragrant spices, splendid customer service and care. What makes me appreciate this so much that they have dishes for all food preferences with utmost care in the preparation and separation. I had distasteful experience even at Cactus Club.. But Desi Lounge is superb. The modern decor and the handcrafted marble table is the exclusive attraction. We totally enjoyed our time here and are set to come back and recommend it with great praises. Anyone trying to think of the best place in Vancouver Downtown, look no further, Desi Lounge is all set to surprise you with surpassing your expectation.
