2 hours 20 minutes to deliver my take away. Luke warm at best. When I Rang after 1.5 hours they tell me it's already left and is on its way. Then ring me ten minutes later to let me know they had no cheesecake and were sending an alternative. Every phone call my food is on its way but still doesn't arrive. Liars Ladies and Gentlemen don't waste your money or time here.

Food was poorly presented and restaurant decor has gone to the wall. Carpet removed from floor and no lighting to the toilet. Toilets covered in poo and when we told the staff they said they are too busy to sort. Young children running round in the dark around toilets unoccupied - very strange

Unfortunately didn't get chance to try the food. I reserved the table for two on the 21/12/23. The table was booked for 17.30 on 31/12/23, a full 10 days before. When we arrived there wasn't a great deal of people in there. One of the staff was scrutinising the bookings ledger, another was asking when we had booked, had we paid a deposit. There was no booking in the ledger and there was no interest in the email I was attempting to show them. We were then reluctantly offered to stay but informed that it was a set menu on a new year eve. There was no mention of this when I booked the table. We felt like they didn't want us there and I didn't want to spend anything up from £70 there. Will not go back. Very sad about the experience, the place looks very nice and the man who first greated us was friendly but that is we're it ended.

We booked to eat here on Christmas day 2023. The positives are a follows. The atmosphere was good, the staff were very friendly and the food was really good. On a normal visit I would imagine its a great place to eat but unfortunately they just couldn't cope with a full restaurant at Christmas. We booked the 3pm sitting and waited 45mins for a drink, a further 45 mins for our starter. Then another 1.5hrs for the main course. We gave up waiting for dessert as did other tables, they took them home but we didn't bother after 4 hours we just wanted to go home. 1 large family group walked out after the starter as they couldn't stay any longer. I wouldn't go again at Christmas but I would give it a go at another time.

Booked a table for eight to celebrate Father's Day. Arrived at the restaurant on time at 17:30 and waited anxiously until 20:15 to be served. We sampled various tandoori dishes and around five types of curry, which were decent in quality and served piping hot. However, the most disappointing aspect was that the bill was overcharged by approximately 20%. After carefully reviewing and calculating the bill with the restaurant staff, they rectified the incorrect amount. To add to our frustration, they initially claimed that their card machine was out of order, but we insisted on paying by card and, lo and behold, they miraculously had a perfectly functioning one. It left us feeling rather dishonestly treated. I would only recommend this restaurant if you have no urgency to satisfy your hunger and don't mind paying extra for the privilege of aimlessly sitting and waiting.

I would never eat here again! Firstly we ordered and had an expected collection time of 6.30pm. At 7pm we were still waiting. No apology or explanation. I gave my name in three times and they went to check for my order. Each time coming back and saying it is being bagged up. As for the food, tasteless. The lamb was very tough and not the quality I would expect. I also found a hair in with my shami kebab. Disgusting place for food and we will never be going again.

Waiting 20 mins in between meals and there is only another two tables here, it’s a big joke I think they just want you to buy lots of alcohol in between meals. Which didn’t work for them with us as we don’t drink alcohol. I won’t be back again food was mediocre too

So when we had desii we called it and picked it up as we were eating our chips because we eat the chips first I mean they were fine VERY VERY soggy and the onion bhajis were very very crumbly and just tasteless but the staff were very nice and gave us our food very quickly but the food man… let down so don’t recommend if you don’t like soggy food and in need for a good and filling grub.I am a local to Widnes but from St Helens so thought was gonna be nice but it wasn’t and costed about 42 quid so 42 quid in the drain!

We ordered online - restaurant prices rather than takeaway. Arrived 45 minutes late. Onion bhajis were soggy and tasteless. Vegetable Biryani was effectively a pilau rice with a few peas thrown in - waste of money. Samosa pastry was thick and stodgy with tasteless filling. Lamb pepper fry was quite good. We won't be trying there again any time soon.

Used to be a great Indian but they've clearly given up or got a poor quality chef in. Past 3 times our food has been below average and we would have had a better experience just spending £2 for an Iceland curry. The curry was basically soup it's so liquidy the textures all wrong and as for spice either they forgot to add any or its just been watered completely out of it. We got stale poppadoms and the mint yoghurt smelt and tasted off This is the last time we will ever go here and we will tell everybody else how poor it was too

I had heard rave reviews about this restaurant and as we didnt intend to cook we decided to order a takeaway from here. I started to try and order at 4 and at 6.30 had to ring my bank for intervention to get the order through, such a faff. Placed my order for about an hour later. Wasnt the cheapest of takeaways but it was a special Saturday night. The order came 15 mins late,considering it asked in 5 minute increments wasnt really good. Now to the meal, we had a Chutney tray and spicy poppadums, nothing wrong with that, in fact best part. We always share so got our usual onion bhajis and king prawn puri, neither was the best. We then had lamb tikka makhani, prawn anarkali ( in a way I've never seen before) not like we're used to and balti rice. Ok but not memorable. We, in Widnes need a really good chinese restaurant and indian restaurant, we have 1 of each on the outskirts of town but from personal experience getting a taxi home is a nightmare. Shan't b visiting again

On Vacation from Abu Dhabi my family took me to Desii as it's one of their favorite Indian restaurants. I'm a huge fan of Indian cuisine so I was really excited to try it out, it was rather busy with a good atmosphere. For starter I had the tarkha dal, for me it was more of a soup consistency with no bite and not much flavor so this was a little disappointing as I've had many dals. The main course I had the chicken Naga, absolutely unreal, such an amazing taste with a nice kick, the staff were lovely and friendly and other than the starter not being quite what I expected overall it was a lovely meal :)

So I’ve dined at this restaurant before and have always enjoyed the food. So as a treat we thought we would get a takeaway over the festive period and the service was shocking. Firstly the order was over 2 hours late and it said up to 55 mins which I was with cause of the festive period. I tried to call the number which they had provided and it’s just rang out! When I managed to get through to ask where my food was I was told it would be 15 minutes. I could hardly hear the guy due to the loud music in the background. 30 minutes later still no food so again I tried calling and no answer. The food then came with no apology. Very disappointed in the service for takeaway and I don’t us them again.
