Ordered from here for delivery we had a slight mishap with our meal that was delt with promptly and professionally by the staff. The food tasted amazing we had two curry's and some starter bits and both were really well prepared looked and tasted great I really can't fault this little takeaway 1 bit from tonight's experience we will definitely be using them again.

Fantastic food and value for money will definitely go again

Greeted promptly, and shown to our table timeously. The chaps front of house were attentive, very obliging and accommodating. Food was well presented, hot, and very tasty. Very clean. The only downside is that the toilets are upstairs.

Dined with family. Lovely clean restaurant, the food was absolutely amazing and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Brilliant value for money 😁

Myself and a colleague visited Desi Tawa Derby 03/11/21 whilst staying in the area for an exhibition, we’ve walked past it to other establishments several times and now we wish we hadn’t, nice greeting straight off good explanation of the menu and suggested dish for us to share and O yeah it was goood !, we had the Tawa share platter for 2, bahjees, chicken wings, sheek kebabs, naans, chips, a lamb and chicken curry, it came with some taste dips too, we left fulfilled but not stuffed, they don’t do alcohol or offer corking we didn’t care the meal was that good, try it you won’t be disappointed

Easy to find and free on road parking so a good start. The place is clean and tidy and well appointed with a reasonably modern feel to it. Little on the cool side so the owner put the heater on, may have warmed up by closing time! The food was edible and a good size but just didn't have the wow factor. A chicken Dhansak should be bursting with flavour and a good dry kick and aftertaste, sadly this one didn't. Garlic naan was decent but had a supermarket feel to it as opposed to authentic and made there. It was OK but just personal taste that should be so much better.

Very good menu and good service overall. Looking forward to returning once their Food Hygiene rating improves (currently ZERO)

The food is amazing, best curry I've ever had!

Very disappointing experience. The food was not tasty and overpriced. The service was slow and unfriendly. I expected better for the price, but it was not worth it. Not recommended

Lovely fresh food, service was spot on, would definitely return again, staff were very attentive and always communicated if we were ready for the next dish which is great

Really good meal. Chalkenged chef too Phall plus but nothing more than good prawn madras. Great food, better luck next time with challenge 😂

Sadly arrived at Shali's at 23:15pm and the door was closed and locked, shutters down, refused any service even though Google says they close at 23:30. Sad.

Fantastic as always, best takeaway in Derby
