Desi Meal Restaurant - St. John's

The food is incredible, and a great price. It's always quick and have never been disappointed. They are also very accommodating for gluten free or vegetarian diets. Not to mention the fantastic service.

We have been here twice now. Once we ordered of the menu and once we had buffet. Both times the food was delicious and cheap. It's a basic atmosphere and quick service, not somewhere for a long leisurely dinner, but a great place for a quick lunch or some take out. The only minor complain is the buffet food could have been a bit hotter, but we got there technically just as it was closing, so we were lucky to still get the buffet at all. It's a very small buffet, but it was still nice to be able to have a little more variety than just choosing one plate. We will go back for sure!

There is nothing better than going to an authentic ethic restaurant, but with a simplified and clear menu that people from other cultures and languages can quickly grasp. It's so simple to decide what you want, but any questions you may have will be quickly addressed by the owner who you will usually find behind the till.I got the Beef Korma plate, with an additional samosa added. The beef was so tender also most never needed to chew it, and it was packed with so much flavour that paired well with the large helping of basmati rice. It's one of those taste that you could never replicate yourself. It's the kind of flavour you get from years and years of small tweaks and changes.Value for the money is amazing here as well. The entree plates are 9.99! (or 8.99 for veggie) How can you justify going to a chain takeout spot when this costs less! Not to mention you feel much better after this than if you just downed a double-bacon cheesburger.So next time you are having a hard time deciding what to eat give this place a try, it won't be the last time you'll eat here that's for sure.

First time I went here, I wasn't sure about it. I'd agree with some of the earlier comments about the wateriness and blandness. I gave it another try a few months later when I was back in the area. I've been here several times since, especially for the lunch buffet. In my opinion, it's gotten far better than when it was starting out. The buffet is fresh and frequently replenished, and the food is flavourful and spicy. The place does have a bit of a take-out vibe (it's no India Gate for atmosphere), but the food has been of high quality, which is the important thing for me. Service is good and the owners are friendly. Glad to see it's starting to get successful and looks like they've found their footing. For the money, it's among the best places in town for Indian food. I recommend the place, and would suggest the earlier commenters give it another shot too.

Owner server was quite congenial. Food was good but fairly plain. Portion size was ideal Economically priced
