We recently celebrated our son’s birthday at Desi Zaiqa Restaurant, and I truly cannot recommend them enough! We hosted over 90 guests, and from start to finish, everything was handled so professionally and seamlessly.

The food was absolutely outstanding — authentic, flavorful, and served fresh. Every single dish was beautifully prepared and consistently delicious. So many of our guests went out of their way to compliment the taste and quality.

The service was just as impressive. The staff were attentive, organized, and incredibly accommodating, especially with such a large group. They made sure everything ran smoothly so we could actually enjoy the celebration without stress.

I recently visited this restaurant for dine-in and had a wonderful experience. The ambience was warm and inviting, with comfortable seating and a relaxed atmosphere that made it perfect for spending quality time. The staff was polite, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was served hot and on time, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. Portion sizes were generous and worth the price.

Overall, it was a great dine-in experience with excellent service and delicious food. I would definitely recommend this place and will be coming back again!

A South Asian restaurant in Carlingwood Mall, which also serves breakfasts. The place is big, and can seat about a hundred people. There is also a hall attached to it at the back, that can serve as a place for receptions, weddings and parties. This hall also has a back entrance directly from the parking lot at the back of the mall, and which adds to the convenience.

The interior decor and ambience is deserves a notable mention. And the food they serve is delectable. The servers are very hard-working, courteous, helpful and friendly. Special mention needs to be made of Kabir and Ali. Kabir, especially, goes above and beyond the call of duty to satisfy his clients.

The one thing the management perhaps needs to publicize (especially for new customers) is the fact that the door at the back is to be used for entry into the restaurant on days that the mall is closed.

There is ample parking in the premises.

We had Chana chaat, beef biriyani, achrai chicken, naan.
All the food was finger licking good. They were spicy so when you order you can mention your spice preference when they ask. Over all it’s a must go place.

Decent buffet during Ramadan however the items don’t get refilled quickly. The fried items are really good and the curries are a hit or a miss. My favourite was the peri peri chicken, really good. The price of the buffet is on the higher side at $35 and the only reason justifying is the number of dishes offered. I have been here on weekends and it was crowded. They have ample seating and the ambience is pleasing. The staff are polite and welcoming.
