I had the pleasure of trying their new limited-time item, the Chili Paneer Samosa, and was blown away by the perfect blend of flavors in every bite. The crispy golden samosa filled with Indo Chinese paneer, bell pepper, and onions, paired with a sweet and spicy chutney, left me craving more.
One of the highlights of Desi Galli is their Kathi Roll Combos, voted the best Indian sandwich by Time Out New York. Whether you opt for the Aloo & Paneer combo or the Vegan Beyond combo, each roll is bursting with savory ingredients and spices that will leave your taste buds satisfied.

Overall, my experience at Desi Galli was exceptional. The service was quick and attentive, and the food was delicious and affordable. I highly recommend trying out this hidden gem in the city for a taste of authentic Indian flavors.
This is my go-to place for chicken tikka masala! I've never had a bad experience here, the service always brings the food out quick and the ambience feels nice.
Stumbled upon it by accident few days ago and am glad I did! As reviewed by other yelpers its really good when it comes to comfort or street desi food. Their rolls are divine! I think even better then Kathi roll LES. They have really good combo deals of rolls/fries/drink. Food is great for price. Loved their pani puri too. Can't wait to try their Maggi samosas and gulab jaman cheesecake next!! Must try!
Best tikka masala in the city. Fast delivery and 3 options for spice level. All for a decent price.
I get tikka masala here all the time through doordash and it's honestly very tasty and filling. The chicken is also nicely cooked and the flavors of the dish is great.
The food was very tasty at a low price and the service was very nice and neat. Hope I will go there again and again!
I was pleasantly surprised by the desi poutine. It was extremely filling and you can easily get two helpings out of it. Fries were hot and crisp, paneer was shredded on top, and the "gravy" was a chicken makhani (which is one of my favorite curries). On a cold day, it'll warm you right up. The gulab jamun is something I wouldn't recommend ordering because it was unfortunately not good to put it gently. If you're new to trying it, it's not the most favorable introduction. But it's free with your first Yelp check in, so try it out but don't let it be the only gulab jamun you ever try. The seating area is downstairs and there's water available with plastic cups (which was so appreciated as I'm someone who forgets to bring their water bottle).
Did I "like Desi Galli?" Hell yes I did! I'm not happy with a masala chai spilled all over the bag but I'll still be back, the tikka masala was delicious, the pani puri, everything rocked Just not the masala chai
