Desi Touch in St. Helens

The dine-in restaurant was full on Sunday so we had take-out. First cash Only, I won't comment on how the shop operates to earn more income, but it is a bit inconvenient for customers. The boss lady said that the Tesco cash machine nearby seemed to be broken, so she asked me to transfer the money to her account; secondly, I waited for about 35 minutes for the takeaway, which was within expectations because there were many customers and takeaway orders. I don't think the waiting time is too long, but the car was parked across the street. The shop called and said the takeaway was done. The food I ate in the car after crossing the street was already slightly The temperature was warm and the fries were soaked. As for the food, I think it might be because of the takeaway. It wasn't hot and spicy enough, and the crispy taste was not crispy enough. I believe it would be much better if you dine in. However, the skewers were delicious. The beef, chicken and pork belly were all delicious. But the most disappointing thing was that I ordered two skewers of bacon prawns, and the prawns in both skewers were not tender. Finally, the long-haired lady with glasses who collected the money was very busy but very polite. On the contrary, the lady with short hair and glasses should be the boss's wife. Maybe she was busy? hot? Her attitude is not as good as that of the long-haired girl.

No wonder Walk in doesn’t have a chance to eat here, the food quality is high 👍🏻 Especially the fried chicken thighs, satay sauce and fried squid tentacles! Eat well! The proprietress was all smiles again, what a nice person! I will definitely help you every day😆

The food is delicious and the price is very reasonable

Suggest to book at weekend and it even needs an hour for waiting a take away.

The fried chicken leg is gorgeous. The restaurant is always packed with limited seats but the staffs are nice and polite. They even ring me when my order is ready.

The fried chicken breast tastes really Hong Kong style. I think it is better than most fried chicken breasts eaten in Hong Kong. I will try other things next time.

Must eat satay sauce, fried big chicken, everything tastes Hong Kong style, come on💛

Great food with reasonable price

Great HK-Style Eats at Affordable Prices! Loved everything we ordered: 🔥 **Satay Skewers** – Juicy meat with rich peanut sauce 🍗 **Crispy Fried Chicken Leg** – Huge portion, perfectly crunchy 🌶 **Sichuan Pepper Beef Rice** – Tender beef with addictive spicy-numb flavor 🌽 **Salt & Pepper Corn** – Sweet, smoky, and super flavorful 🍞 **HK French Toast** – Crispy, buttery, and deliciously sweet All dishes were tasty and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

There are only three words to describe it: plain, beautiful, upright, good food, good food Hong Kong chefs are very attentive in making the food, and the boss lady’s service is good. The skewers with satay sauce are completely Hong Kong people’s taste. It’s so delicious, the fried squid is just right, and the grilled pineapple is a must-try, it’s just right.

The couple worked hard to restore the taste of Hong Kong food. Affordable price. The skewers are delicious, the sweet and sour pork and grilled pineapple are unforgettable. Will definitely come back to try other food.

Good food and plenty of portions! !

The service is good👍 and attentive. It has the human touch that you would expect from a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant. I actually felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign country. , the chicken thigh is big enough to eat. It is deep-fried until the chicken skin is so crispy and delicious, but the chicken inside is surprisingly juicy and not dry. It is so delicious when served with curry sauce and rice. The second dish is the skewered skewers with satay sauce. It’s delicious. My wife usually eats nothing but rice. As for the soy sauce, it’s almost an after-dinner dessert. They even added an umbrella as a decoration. However, this setting should only be 8. People born in the 1990s will first understand that adding the three items to 21 pounds is more than enough to cover food.

This place offers an authentic Hong Kong-style flavor, especially with the black pepper sauce and fried chicken leg, which are both outstanding. The fried chicken leg is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside, with just the right amount of tenderness and moisture. The satay skewers are rich in flavor, with a fragrant sauce that complements the tender chicken, beef, and pork. Paired with white rice, the meal feels complete and satisfying. Plus, the staff is friendly and efficient, making the overall experience enjoyable. Definitely worth a try! The taste of this restaurant is full of Hong Kong style, especially the black pepper sauce and fried chicken thighs, which are endless aftertaste. The fried chicken thighs are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They are not dry at all and have a bit of gravy when you bite into them, which is very satisfying. The satay sauce on the skewers is rich and fragrant. Whether it is chicken, beef or pork, the meat is tender and flavourful. It goes well with white rice. Coupled with the friendly and efficient service, the overall experience is quite pleasant and highly recommended!

The chef is very attentive and everything is just right and very delicious😋

Brilliant food and delivered on time even with it being New Year’s Eve.

Love the food from this place been coming here years the tikka masala and onion bhaji's are my favorite🤤.. the foods always hot too..

Desi touch is the Indian restaurant I trust,ways hot, always tasty and today in particular both the lamb and chicken were perfect 👌

It was good and we enjoyed the meal just seems like the chicken tikka masala’s was lacking chicken which we was a bit underwhelmed about due to the prices of them

every time we've ordered from here, we've never been disappointed. the food is quality, flavoursome and piping hot when received. delivery drivers are always friendly too. recommend over and over. thankyou

Amazing food! Pipping hot on arrival!! And so tasty!! Best Indian meal I've had in a while! Will definitely be ordering again.

Delivery time was quick but the food was cold, you would think with the fast delivery time the food would have been piping hot.

Had meal for 1 samosas tiny,and chicken balti very bland,i wont be using again

I have been here a fair few times and the food and service is usually good but I was left utterly disappointed by the food and the shocking service over the phone. Truly gutted to leave this review but they ruined the evening

They forgot our popadoms or I’d have given them 5star on both food was nice though…..

pay a lot for a small potion of pilu rice . Didn't get any free nana breads for ordering over £30 . like Earlestown Tandee

Best indian, always our go to! Perfect every time

I love Dedi Touch. Tonight the food was not as good as usual so hoping just a blip!

Food came piping hot . Was gorgeous. Definitely be going back

Expensive and good quality if rubbish

Incredible food and service thank you

Absolutely byfar the best tandoori mix grill, the chicken on the bone was beautiful

I think the tandoori starter was shocking for the price..4.50 for 1 little piece of chicken..won't be getting anything again

Always delicious! Love Desi and has been one of our favourites for several years.

Food took nearly 2 hours to arrive, was told delivery vehicle had broke down! A phone call to update would of been fine. But nothing! Customer service goes a long way! Then items of my food was cold that had been sat in the broken down vehicle! Sent replacements to which weren't right! Shocking!

The food would have been better with more then 5 pieces chicken in considering the price and size of the meal

Used desi touch for years, best Indian takeaway I’ve had. Never had a problem with the food always been amazing. Went today both curries were watery and extremely bland, hardly any meat in the curry. Everything else was okay. Change of ownership?

Food quality and value is mega!!! Unfortunately though, I left a comment asking to leave my food on porch without a knock, even called up the restaurant to ensure that this is being carried out. And the delivery driver still knocked saying info hasn't been passed onto him, can't fault him but I think its important to ensure such requests are carried out.

Hot Tasty well cooked Delicious never had a problem with a meal from Desi

Just ordered a summer sizzler , was absolutely lovely and just enough for 1 person , would recommend, staff very friendly and was ready in no time

I feel bad leaving a poor review but ultimately this came down to poor quality. The delivery came early which was great, and the guy who delivered was really nice, but it doesn’t make up for poor quality food. We had three meat dishes, two rice and two garlic naan. The the meat dishes came hot which is a definite plus, but the taste and quality or the food wasn’t great. None of the meat dishes had much flavour and the one medium spicy dish was anything but. I think what tipped this from a three star to a two star was the naan breads though. They were thin, slimy and stretchy. I suspect they were undercooked and put into a bag where they sweated and went slimy. Here’s hoping Desi read this and improve, we really need a good reliable Indian takeaway in the area 😕

Always order our curries with desi touch. Great food - never had any issues.

Food is spot on but, as of recent (past 4 months) service has dipped. Ordered food and 1hr 25mins later still hadn't turned up. Rang to get an update and the usual spiel of "it's on its way" was used. Given its 30 seconds from the house I gave them 10 mins and it still hadn't turned up. I arrive at the takeaway to find they hadn't even started cooking it... hopefully this is just a blip because the past 4 years has been spot on.

Super quick delivery food was delicious hot and fresh defo recommend

Lovely food hit and fresh delivered quickly thanks

Awesome food, Amazing customer service 😀

Food nice, though the tikka massala was spicer than expected

This order arrived ok, the chicken balti had hardly any sauce with in and no rice, on making a call, they said they would send a driver with more, I expected a fresh order instead it was just rice which we were expected to eat with a cold balti. Very dissatisfied indeed £28 wasted

Never go anywhere else....brilliant

Cold dry food, £30 for 2 curries and 2 nans is a very steep price and I wish I’d made it myself

Amazing as always, by far my favourite Indian! Always piping hot, delivered on time if not early

Great quality food and very reasonable prices. Always the go to Indian takeaway in Newton.

Just the best takeaway around here!! Does an omelette on top of the Biryani....respect xx

Absolutely fabulous. Will definitely be ordering again

Lovely food, really fresh, my curry sauce was a little on the warm side rather than hot, and was a bit too sweet, I think I should have chosen bhuna rather than masala, but overall the quality of everything was really good. Will definitely order again.

Normally spot on, one of the meals didn't arrive as it went in someone else's apparently from what they said. So we had to go back and it messed the night. Can't fault the flavour and quality but the portions were really miserable compared to normal. Really disappointed. 6 little pieces of chicken in my vindaloo. The rest of the company also said really tight portions, not like that for the last 6 or so visits. Cost of living I guess. I will be trying elsewhere next time.

Great food both curries lovely and flavoursome, chicken and lamb really soft, defo order again thanks

Incredible starter, curry, rice, chips and Naan

First time order from this restaurant but won’t be the last. Food was hot and tasted amazing. Think a good gage of how fresh the food is is the quality of the chips and the chips were hot and crispy, meaning they were fresh as possible!! Would highly recommend!!

Amazing food and service. Would highly recommend 👌

Food arrived late and was missing poppadoms and onion bhajis missing from the mixed starter. They had been paid for, and the chutneys did arrive but what is the point without the poppadoms. Everything was also cold on arrival and had to be reheated. On the plus side, what we did have was very tasty once heated up and I could recommend on that point. But paying £4 delivery to receive late, cold food is not acceptable especially when there are missing items. Delivery driver was extremely pleasant, but on the whole would probably not order from here again unless collecting and making sure order is correct and being able to take straight home. Which kind of defeats the purpose of Just Eat as we only use it when it has to be delivered.

THE best Indian takeaway by a country mile!! The chicken is so delicious! Sauces superb! Absolutely wonderful 5 star x

Top quality again! Can’t praise Desi enough!!

Absolutely beautiful food yet again. Best Indian takeaway around here!!!

Beautiful food. Lovely and fresh. And nice and hot!

Suffering with a cold so thought I'd try and fight it with food, this was everything I needed. So good.

Lovely delicious food hot and tasty

Ordered a variety of things and everything was awful. The lamb in the mixed kebab had a grainy texture and strange taste live liver. This place is really hit or miss, sometimes can be great, not tonight though.

Great food and service. Always. The best around.

Favourite Indian by far wont go anywhere else food is always hot and amazing.

Was disappointed last time I ordered, but tonight everything was perfect and back to usual standards

By far the best Indian fakeaway around! Always fresh hot and nothing is ever missing

Chicken tikka masala was quite spicy and tasted like a jug of salt had been poured into it. Wouldn't order again.

Ordered at 19:30 - food didn’t arrive until 20:45 When delivered, had a madras delivered instead of butter chicken Rang restaurant and explained I had plated the madras onto the rice when realised it was the wrong one Delivery driver returned with butter chicken only - had to use the rice I had already covered in madras sauce and unable to eat

Overall, very poor & overpriced, the curry sauce was a generic one, with a few spices thrown in to try & make it taste like a Rogan Josh, lamb was small, gristly pieces. One poppadom for 75p? I'd finished the poppadom long before I'd finished the overpriced small tubs of dips, the only positives were the mushroom pilau rice & garlic & coriander naan bread. I definitely won't be ordering from here again, lesson learnt.

Great food as usual.....thumbs up 👍

Great food and delivery driver is always polite.

The food was amazing thank you

Never had a bad meal from here. Great service and fast delivery. Recommended

Stayed in the area for 2 nights and wanted to try local curry. Have to say it was very tasty! No complaints at all. Would defo recommend!

Food always hot great flavours would recommend this restaurant

Food was poor, will not use again. Doesn’t fill you with confidence when all you can hear are microwaves pinging in the background!

Literally about 4 pieces of chicken in the jalfrezi. Onion bhaji sooo greasy they were inedible. Ordered cheesy naan and failed to see or taste any cheese. Very very disappointed

Food arrived hot, was tasty and would order again

Food quality was rather poor and very bland, but was piping hot

Excellent food and service, as always. Can't recommend these guys highly enough. Try them, you won't be disappointed.

My favourite restaurant in the area! Yummy food & great service!

Food was lovely, as it always is, was a little late, but wasn’t a problem, only problem was I ordered a peshwari naan and they sent a plain one,

Excellent food good Quality very tasty defo use again

Not much flavour in the curries ,both tasted the same

Great food from here cooked fresh collected on time. We had the theoretical meal for two and it was excellent quality and taste will defo use again.

Never eaten from here before. Have great experience in eating Indian food. Tried a few different places of late than our normal Palace visit. The food was good and would order again no problem. Onion bhajis are hard to get right. They can be too dry, these were excellent. As was all the food.

Food was incredible! Would definitely recommend thank you

Amazing food, delivered early will definitely be ordering from here again!

They do me a korma and make it vindaloo hot. Its reeeeaaally nice. And the chips are lovely. Very nice food.

Food is always hot temperature wise good delivery service good value for money

Really lovely and piping hot, tasty and fresh would recommend

Bit annoyed. Usually from here its decent. But forgot the salad. Chicken tandoori starter was abismal could barely pick any meat off it it was mainly all fat and went cold as soon as i put it on a plate. The rice was cold and the chicken tikka main was lukewarm at best. Im not at all usually one to leave a bad review or complain. Especially not with this place the service is usually above average. But having to pay £17 for a bowl of cold rice, fatty chewy chicken with no salad that went cold quick is beyond a joke. Other places ive been give double the portion and food arrives a lot hotter for less of the cost for the same order. Really dissapointed :/

This is the worst place we’ve ordered from. The curry’s were inedible - I’ve never thrown a curry away before.

Very good. Delivered on time. Highly recommend. 👍🏻
