Had 30 mins for a quick meal before a dash to the airport. Desi Road caught my attention and decided to give it a try. Had the lunch chicken thali. Great food, great service and nice ambiance. Would recommend all to visit.

So we stumbled upon here one day as we were walking around. Strolled into such a cute little  Indian restaurant with an old Bollywood playlist. 
We sat up front by the window to people watch but in return more people watched us eat! Ha Ha ! I think we brought in the crowd after us!

We order the chicken Thaali (12/10) so delish! 
Included the following:
- Rice 
- Roti 
- Raita (yogurt) 
- Kachumar (mixed salad) 
- Chicken Tikka 
- Chicken Meatball 
- Brown Lentils 
- Chickpeas 

Plenty for two people! But we also ordered Chicken Tikka on the side with garlic naan (10/10) 

Everything was delicious! Not as spicy so perfect for tourist but if you would like spicy ask for "spicy pickles"! 

Def go and enjoy a Thaali!

I came here for dinner on a Saturday evening in mid-November 2022 with a friend who had been here a few times before and loved it. We made reservations earlier that day and were able to get a spot for 9:30 PM. The restaurant was unsurprisingly very busy when we arrived, but we had a few options for seating either downstairs or in the upstairs dining area. We chose the upstairs, but overall the restaurant was very cozy and nicely decorated on both levels. 

My friend and I shared an aloo tiki chaat appetizer and garlic naan. We each ordered a thali platter--her the chicken, I the vegetarian--as well as a mango lassi. The server asked us if we were okay with everything coming out at once, which we were. I really enjoyed everything we ordered. It was really great having a little bit of everything--yogurt, daal, curry, chutney, rice, etc.--in a platter. I loved the garlic naan because I'm obsessed with carbs, but honestly it was almost superfluous since the platter comes with two pieces of chapati bread already. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and came out pretty quickly. The lassi was very tasty, thick and cold, and largely satisfied us so that we didn't need to get dessert in the end. 

The service was friendly and efficient and we had a really lovely meal. We were there until around 11 PM and honestly the staff did not really rush to kick us out which was nice. Our total meal was a little over 40€ a person, a bit expensive but we were pleased with the quality. American Express accepted. The restaurant is located a few steps from Pont Neuf, where you have spectacular views of the Seine. A great place for Indian food in the center of Paris!

Wanted to love the place but something was left wishing for.. Food was fresh but tasted nothing out of the ordinary. 
Attentive service and gracious host. Even gave us an Ipad to lookup pictures of the thalis. 

Misses for us were: 
1. Non veg thali: Chicken was cooked tender but lacked flavor. It was just strangely spicy. Also there was no other non veg item in the thali other than the curry.
2. Veg Thali: Palak Paneer has too much fried paneer (never thought I would have to say this). 
3. The chunda (sweet pickle) was put right in the middle of the entire thali. Not everyone would be fans of the chunda flavor or want it mixed with their rice and roti. 
4. The restaurant had small flies flying around which was unpleasant. 
5. Found the price point a bit difficult to justify.

Wow!!!  Desi Road may be my favorite restaurant in the world. Definitely for the food itself and the staff is fun, accommodating, attentive and seem genuinely concerned about the quality of your experience. I had the lamb and my wife the vegetarian plate. They come with a selection of dishes including lentils, chickpeas, a type of falafel, rice, paneer and of course a creamy and amazingly delicious yogurt topping. Do not get to Paris often but Desi Road is one reason I will return.

We were pleased to have found Indian food in Paris. It did lack some Indian flavor we were expected, as well as some spice. The service was great and it had a very old school Indian feel to it. The decor was pretty cool.

I wanted to like Desi Road more than I did.  

The Biriyani was very good.  The lamb was was very dry though.  

The chicken tikka was very sad.  4 extremely dry pieces if chicken breast on a plate with a bit of sauce for 13 Euros (!?!)

The shrimp was also sad.  We got maybe 6 or 7 total.  This doesn't sound too bad except they were probably size 61/70 (i.e. very small).

Lastly, i got a glass of wine.  It was served in a very small glass, but sadly the pour was a very low pour.  Luckily, the wine was very nice.

Food was yummy. Service was so friendly. Having Indian food was just what I wanted and we were so happy to find good Indian food in Paris. We had the tandoori chicken, Green beans, jasmine rice, black lentils and naan. The mint Sauce for the Tandori was delicious and the chicken perfectly cooked. Happy customers.

Elegant restaurant across the river from the Louvre. Beautifully prepared Indian dishes and drinks. Nice ambiance and friendly wait staff. We wanted to try something different and this hit all the checkmarks. Intrigued to find the owner is American who lived in India for 10 years before settling in Paris to start this and another Indian restaurant. 5 stars, and well worth it for an afternoon lunch!

Food was generally okay but the service was lackluster at best.  Two servers to cover the entire second floor but still, there should have been more attentiveness, especially to our party of 8.
