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.

Food was amazing, delivered hot and absolutely full of flavour, could be a new favourite!

Served by Chris in a lovely decorated and clean restaurant. Can't recommend enough. Food choice was vast abd was delicious. Chris was very attentive and helpful

Me and my husband have been coming here for 10 years or more. Haven't been here for at least 2 years because mid week special as gone upto £18.95 per person and they have took off side vegetable dish which we love. Came here tonight at about 6.45 it was empty we ordered pompadoms and pickle tray then we ordered a mains of chicken tikka shashlik each. I'm not a big eater I left nearly all of mine. I asked for a takeaway tub so I could take it home left most of my chicken which was loads and onions and peppers. The waiter brought my takeaway tub out not even half full more than less I sent back. When I complained another member of staff offered to more chicken in it which I wasn't happy about cause it would not be the same as cooked on sizzler plate. I told them I would not return here again. The restaurant has gone down hill since both Ali,s has left so disappointed I left very angry. That's why 3 star's left

Excellent food and delivery service.

Just visited the restaurant, the food was really bad as well as the service. The main course came really late , expected more but disappointed. Will never visit again !!!! 👍🏻

I come here regularly with my family and everything is so lovely,the food is amazing presentation is immaculate but its a shame its so small.With a restaurant this good it shoild have more recognition but overall it is amazing and it has filling food and I definitely recommend!

Fantastic Indian cuisine, fantastic flavours and naan so fresh it just melts. Be going back soon...

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

Amazing quality food, really tasty! One of the staff carried it out to my car because the bag was heavy. Cannot fault anything about the whole experience

Beautiful food , 100% would go again

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.

Ordered later on in the evening on a weekend. Food came fast and with a variety of meals (jacket potato, Rogan josh, burger and chips, donor and chips). Came sooner than the estimated time and was piping hot too. All the food tasted great and the portions were very generous especially for the price point. First time eating from here. Would recommend and we shall be back next time we are back in Derby.
