Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the lamb dishes, with the lamb chops and lamb karahi named repeatedly as outstanding and full of flavour. Close behind are the mix grill and grill platter, described as tasty and succulent, along with Malai Boti, kebabs, fried fish, chicken ginger handi and a mint chutney one diner kept refilling. One reviewer tried magaj (lamb brains) and did not care for it, though their family loved it. Service draws mostly courteous, attentive comments, and one server is credited with calm, warm handling of a busy room. The complaints are specific. One diner found everything, even the starters, so spicy that most of the food went untouched after seven or eight consistently good visits. Another says a waiter claimed the card machine was not working before another waiter allowed card payment. Others ask for table numbers, desserts such as ice cream, and a second staff member when only one person was serving. One visitor from London still called the food exceptional, praising the Tawa and the bhindi (okra) salan.

    “Desi Dera is a really nice restaurant to dine and have dinner, the customer service is very good and the food is excellent but also Desi Dera is my local restaurant as i live not too far away. The only downside of Desi Dera is that they dont have any desserts such as different flavoured ice cream and they should have ice cream as its nice to have ice cream after having a meal but also Desi Dera need to put numbers on the table so the waiters know what table to go after taking orders and bringing orders so once again Desi Dera is a really nice restaurant.”

    “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding service from Sid! From the moment we sat down, Sid made our whole dining experience absolutely brilliant. He was friendly, attentive but never overbearing, and remembered every little detail of what we wanted. His recommendations were spot on every dish and drink he suggested was delicious and perfectly suited our tastes. Even when the restaurant got busy, Sid stayed calm, smiled constantly, and made sure our glasses were topped up and plates cleared exactly when needed. He really went above and beyond, turning a nice meal into something special. Service like his is rare professional, warm, and natural. If you dine here, ask for Sid; he makes all the difference. Thank you Sid we’ll definitely be back!”

    “We came all the way from London. Ordered a Tawa and bhindi (okra) salan. Even though there was one person working the food was exceptional. We all enjoyed the food. Please get an additional worker to serve customers whilst one person cooks.”

    “Visited Desi Dera in Birmingham for the first time to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were polite and attentive throughout. The food was excellent—especially the lamb chops and fried fish for starters, followed by the chicken and lamb karahi, all full of flavour and freshly prepared. A very enjoyable experience and a great choice for a special occasion. We look forward to visiting again.”
