Desi Lounge in Tower Hamlets

Great food and service - would recommend!

Venue and decor is of really good quality and able to accommodate large gatherings and small wedding parties. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Parking is only available on the street, after 6pm. Or weekends Disappointed with the food quality and taste, it just wasn't good enough unfortunately. It lacked taste and quality

Just tasted the iftar menu. Found parking straight anway in the road opposite the restaurant. Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and fantastic service. Not a single thing to complain about. Definitely would recommend. shah Islam. Happy customer!

The food was on point, service was great and for the price, exceptional. Spacious dining can accommodate for large gatherings, but for my family it was plentiful. The price ranges for starters and mains is very reasonable and comparing these to bricklane, would deffo recommend here as transport and local amenities are favourable. Parking is a problem, but plenty of sides streets and also main road parking available

Delicious food, very authentic, with really kind staff; especially Mahi, Muhit, Urmi, and Lucky!

Muhith service was brilliant. Food was surprisingly good

muhids service was brilliant and food was great, place is suitable for a party

Great place, shame it is almost empty each time we visit! Tasty food, attentive service, reasonable prices for good portion sizes. The only thing to flag up, which isn't an issue for us but might be for others: no alcohol licence so alcohol cannot be sold and customers cannot bring their own. Definitely worth a try!

Very good service from Muhit. We had a big wedding party which was well managed with great tasting food.

A very spacious place for events and weddings. I attended a wedding here and the service was absolutely impressive especially by the waiter that was seeing to my table. His name was Muhit. Food was amazing. Staff are lovely especially Muhit. Do attend just for general dining in or of your thinking of holding a party. Thank you desi lounge

Really enjoyed the food. Muhit has been very helpful throughout.

Excellent, Mahi, Muhit, and Urmi were Excellent thanks

Had a delicious meal Desi Lounge (half chicken and egg fried rice). I have been several times and it is always a reliable choice. The dishes are well executed and the service is friendly. Thanks to the excellent staff (Mahi, Muhit, Urmi and Lucky).

Food is always amazing, I come here weekly with friends and staff always take great care of us. Shout out to Mahi, Muhit, Urmi and Lucky

Lucky, Mahi, Muhit, and Urmi look after a large party of us every Saturday night. Food is sensational. Good vegetarian options. Super happy that we have a good relationship with the venue. Thank you!

Very good service, lovely people. Mahi, Muhit, Urmi and Lucky were very kind

Magi, Muhit, Urmi and Lucky were working today and we had a wonderful experience as usual. Food was delicious, timely and tasty. Visit almost weekly and it's always great.

Great staff, super friendly and welcoming. Especially Mahi, Muhit, Urmi and Lucky. Tasty food and big portions

Lovely food and ample amount of space. Could do with abit of a facelift outside but it's worth a late dinner.

Very friendly service, worker named Muhit was extremely helpful and welcoming and served some very good tea. 10/10 would recommend

Muhit our server was an absolute legend - super friendly and even asked the chef for a vegetarian dish for us that wasn't on the menu. The food was also delicious - super fresh and tasty. Highly recommend. Feedback - some more veggie options would be great and and re-useable rather than single use wash towels.

Muhit was great food amazing thank you

Great food excellent environment very friendly. Will recommend to everyone

Their food was delicious. Specially their DAL, must try.

We took our family for a birthday party. I was blown away by the level of customer service, from the initial booking consultation right up to the moment we left the restaurant. I really can say I have never seen customer service on this level in a long time. The food was exceptional and also we were acomodated with some dietary requirements. A 10/10 experience. 👏

Very good food and great customer service

Urmi provided excellent service. Great customer care and customer focus.

Good food, good service, good people😀.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was delicious..

An amazing place to come to eat and the customer service is really good. Highly recommend this place. Muhi is amazing.

Horrible service. Given popadoms but when given the bill, they charged £1 per popadom. Day light robbery. The prawn biryani was abysmal to say the least. The rice was crunchy and lacked any flavour. The prawns were rubbery. The jalfrezi was showered with lemon juice. All in all terrible experience. Avoid!

Horrible food, lacks quality, lacks taste. DO NOT ORDER THE PRAWN BIRIYANI !!!! Asked the owner/ manager if the sheekh kebabs were fresh (implying house made), he said yes, its actually frozen and he thought fresh as in cooking it -_- (dumb right) Service was abysmal, waiters seemed lost. Do not go in big groups, SHAMBLES (guess there was a reason they did not take deposit)

Great food, great hospitality Muhit!

Muhit was very helpful— good food too

Wonderful dining experience. Staff were extremely friendly especially Muhit, Mahi, Urmi and Lucky 👍

We ordered platters and curries but the owner gave us more than we asked for, also A big platter of lamb chops on the house and many other items. I must say we were very hungry and We kept ordering but the owner told us to stop as we were ordering too much and won't be able to finish it, but then he ended up loading our table with food we didn't expect. That's what u call honesty and generosity, Warm and cosy environment, staff were very welcoming. Food was 10/10 and definitely will be visiting again MUST TRY!

Great food and the service is very welcoming.

Me and my family was taken care off with the lovely service and lovely Indian cuisine. Big shoutout to Muhit bhai who made sure we was all okay and that we had everything we needed. Would recommend.

Food and services are very good. Muhit mahi Urmii lucky they are very nice and friendly

Staff were very friendly and accommodating, however food was not great. Also no parking unless you park on a single yellow line on a Sunday. There is a station close by

The staff were amazing, and the food served was incredible. Special thanks to Muhit, Urmi, and Lucky.

Very lovely place. Food was delicious

Muhit gave amazing service and the food was great, definitely recommend!

Had a lovely dinner to celebrate my sister getting married. The good was amazing but the service was the best part, Muhit made us feel very welcome and went out of his way to make my family and I feel weclome. Thank you very much Muhit, we had a great time.

Had a very good time, service from Muhit was absolutely wonderful he was very friendly and kind and the atmosphere here was great would highly recommend this place lovey food is lovley 👍💖

Little gem of a place, wonderful service from Urmi and Mahi. The Kitchen did a Veg Jalfrezi off menu for us and the lamb seekh kebab was nicely spiced. Addictive mango lassi!

Food was authentic and delicious - fresh and fragrant... It wasn't crazy busy which was a surprise - perfect for catching up with friends - group of six - Muhit was kind, attentive and knew his menu - perfection xx

Muhit and Urmi are lovely. They looked after me and my mates wonderfully. The food is very good, the chai is a must have. We enjoyed a lot. :)

Best place to get south asian curries! I had chicken tikka, Chicken jalfrezi with rice and naan. My friend had lamb bhuna he thoroughly enjoyed too! Mahi the waiter was vibrant and attentive. He took extra care of us. Even he recommended to have strawberry mojito that was excellent..

Good service from Urmii.The food was delicious

Food was good but very slow to prepare, waiters were very friendly, went on a Wed evening and it was very quiet.

Lovely food Lovely service from Urmi and Mahi Delicious biriani and vegetable dishes

I had a positive experience and were treated as a valued customer. The food was nice and the service was really excellent.. Mahi and Urmi was so kind . i really appreciate the way they treated us. Will visit their soon again

Urumi magi excellent service polite and a good experience

It was pretty amazing! Me and my friend walked down Bethnal Green Rd quite long , then we encountered beautiful forest green Victorian style tiles ! We entered and milion white flowers were attached to the ceiling, very pretty interior! Staff , especially Muhit and Mahi were so amazing ! We got some poppadoms free with sauses, then we ordered. Food was really well cooked and so fresh! I really recommend it!!!! Later on we were joined by our colleagues it was a very big group of us together! Poppadoms were given free to every single person/ table, it was amazing! Food arrived in covered brass pots, so cute! I loved it! Muhit was handing us tissues directly to each person and some even were brought take away boxes! He told me people don't know spices are good for us cause of Vitamin C- I didn't know it ! Interesting discovery ! So amazing !!! I was always confused when I walked past, as I couldn't understand what this place was. I am so happy I visited! Prices are really good, I am so happy this place is not overpriced ! The service staff, especially the waiters were so kind and professional ! Please go and visit , I walked past this place for so many years and was blind, instead I should have visited sooner! Go don't miss it! I highly recommend it!

Amazing customer service from Muhit. He was very polite and helpful. The food was impeccable and felt like I was eating authentic home cooked meals. We will definitely come back for future events. Thank you so much!

absolutely loved eating here with my family! the customer service was impeccable, name dropping muhit mahi as he was absolutely amazing! as someone from a bangladeshi heritage, i can confirm that the food here is 100% that of home, completely authentic. will definitely be coming back again in the future, great job! 💖

The curry and sides very good. Service was excellent our waiter was Muhit was very friendly would come back soon

Amazing restaurant. Staff is very nice and polite.

Desi Lounge in Bethnal Green is hidden in plain sight, walk pass it most times without noticing this gem, we had a small wedding party in the evening. The food was nice, especially the mutton curry, dhal and pilau rice. But the service and the staff went an extra mile to make everyone happy. There were ample parkings around the area in the evening times as well. Not disappointed at all.

My sister’s wedding was at Desi Lounge last week. Everything went perfect. Food was delicious! All our guests spoke very highly of the food and had zero complaints. Staff are incredible, so polite and catered to all our needs. Will definitely be hosting all our future family events at Desi Lounge.

Mr Muhit served really very well.

It was a really good experience. Thank you Muhit. Very good place, comfortable for party.

Had a smaal wedding ceremony. We had wonderful experience their. The food was delicious and the service was top class. Specially thanks to Mahi, Muhit and Urmi for making everything wonderful for us...

Our family event was made very memorable by Desi Lounge. The food and service was excellent. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Special thanks to Mahi, Muhit and Urmi for making our family event very special!

Went there as a group to welcome back the Umrah family members and were recieved with amazing hospitality and served with a personal touch. The food was surprisingly delicious, considering that Indian style food is usually what I eat at home, with decent fusions on the dishes and a good variety of beverages to choose from. There was a couple of other functions occuring but it did not disrupt our dine in experience and the staff done a decent job whilst catering for both the men and women's side, which was segregrated. Unfortunately was only able to take pictures of the starters as when the mains came, we all devoured it! I don't usually eat Indian style food in restaurents but will definitely be coming back to Desi Lounge! Highly recommend!

Thanks MUHIT and MAHI, it was really good ! The lamb was amazing

Thank you so much for having us. Muhit was a fantastic host and the food was insanely good!! I ate so much and if I could eat more I would. Thank you Muhit for looking after us and making sure everything was ok. Would definitely come back!! Thank you again!!

Fantastic food, service and quality all the way. Deformed recommend.

Very good food, very good service

The hosts at Desi Lounge were extremely hospitable. Created and amazing atmosphere for my sisters wedding. Highly would recommend for anyone looking for a low budget wedding. Great party overall.

been there so many times, all of their stuff’s are so nice and well behaved, they highly maintain hygiene n serve fascinating foods, if you wanna try authentic indian/bengali/south asian food you must try desi lounge. n special shoutout to zak sasa for his amazing hospitality. no doubt desi lounge is one of the best restaurant in east london.

Muhit provided excellent customer service and went out of his way to create a warm environment for my family.

Went on Thursday night for a work night out. The service was 5 star and we were a large group which is never easy. Staff were just amazing 😍 great portion sizes with a nice kick of spice, although the main was slightly oily. Decor is really nice and the place has a good ambience. Prices also quite reasonable. Will definitely be back!

When there with some mates and what can I say… If you want good food Go somewhere else. Nit sure how much experience they have in running a restaurant but from the one we had they got a lot to learn. Food was terrible… i think there Head chef is a a microwave

Lovely place, excellent service.Definitely will recomend. Quality food.

We recently had a family wedding and it was wonderful. The service was great from all the staff, the food was amazing and we have a really good time. I look forward to having future events here.

We threw my sister’s wedding party at desi lounge and it was outstanding. The venue is big open and spacious with loads of space. The staff were really friendly and attentive. The food was amazing and was presented impeccably. I had an amazing time and I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking ti create lasting memories for their big day.

Service terrible, one guy nearly knocked a glass off the table. There was flies all over the place. Not best for weddings.

Great Indian food. Muhit treated us with special care.

Nice food,service and a great atmosphere.

Great place for family gatherings. Staff Muhit was excellent. He was friendly & helpful. Food was good. Recommending everyone for sure. ✔️ ❤️

It was a great experience food was tasty , Staff Muhit Was great he served very good 😊

Visited a few times absolutely excellent customer service and food is just amazing!! The Chef deffo has great skills, perfect place for partys and holding small events like party’s, birthday, dawats, engagement party, graduation party etc. staff are very friendly great cutomer service

Great food. The chicken tikka starter had so much flavour and was so moist. Papadam were good nice selection of chutneys and the onion based one was freshly prepared by its quality. Mains was the Chef’s Special Jalfrezi chicken … again wonderful flavours and a good portion size with pulao and one chapati I was full! I am a large person so full means plenty. Staff were wonderful very helpful and caring.

Been coming regularly for the past year, Muhit has always looked after us perfectly and made us feel at home!

Amazing ambience and lovely staff. Been coming here for over a year now, and each time the food doesn’t fail. Special thanks to all the staff for being so hostable, and especially Muhit bhai who provides amazing customer service every time and makes us feel comfortable. If you’ve not come here before, you should defo try it! 10/10 everything!!

Muhit was a wonderful host and the food was amazing!! Very good value for money.

The food was fabulous and the service 5 star

Amazing food and great service. The food was 10/10 along with the service. The host Shopon Miah was excellent, didn't disappoint with his hospitality.

Alam and Muhit has giving us an amazing service. Good was great!

I held my graduation party here and they did an amazing job. The service and in particular, a worker called muhit was a great help and very friendly! I communicated with shopon who was very accommodating to my requests. The guests loved the party, the food and the atmosphere! Would definitely recommend!

Great atmosphere and good. The staff were really nice and friendly and made us feel welcome. I will be back again soon,thank you for a pleasant evening.

I went there for q wedding reception and was very disappointed with the service and the food. The food was served very late, around 3pm instead of 1-2pm. When it was served, there wasn't enough food for everyone at the table and it started with salad only, while we were all very hungry. The waiters weren't doing their job of ensuring there was enough food and when we asked for more naan, we were given what was left from the other table. Overall extremely disappointed and I would not go there again. I definitely don't recommend it.

Muhit bhai. Thank you for your hospitality. We really enjoy talking to you and your service. Will visit again.

The person Mr Muhit who looked after us in our dining, superb and fantastic , first class service, foods are delicious and nice environments as well.

Had a party here, service was great food was lovely, server muhit was a great help and was lovely throughout the night

Held a birthday party at Desi Lounge and we were allocated to be downstairs but on the week of the party they had informed us about a change in seating area and we were moved to the entrance area due to work going on. On the day of the event, I noticed that other people from another event were going downstairs. We also had a backdrop and asked them to create space where possible, but very little was given…since we only had the entrance area our guests had to sit uncomfortably during the whole evening. Other than that the food was okay but didn’t impress me to the standard I thought it’d be at. We was also told verbally by the manager that we would be given “special” rice but instead we was given just plain rice. Also, whilst our guests were taking pictures the table was cleared and made space for people from another event and our guests couldn’t sit back down. In short, there wasn’t enough space due to many events going on at the same time and organisation wasn’t great.

Amazing vegetable biryani! We come here all the time and receive great service from Muhit, Mahi and Urmi. Staff are lovely and friendly and always look after us.

Came here for dinner and the food was great and Muhit, Mahi, and Urmi were very kind.
