Overview

Desi Khana, nestled in the vibrant locale of 2273 Dundas St W, Mississauga, stands as a remarkable representation of authentic South Asian cuisine. This modest eatery, tucked away inside a South Asian food mart, offers a culinary journey that resonates deeply with lovers of traditional flavors and rich spices.

We got Pakistani biriani which was excellent, except not enough chicken. There was a thigh & a few tiny pieces of chicken. Maybe the rest got disintegrated? Would have loved the complete portion of the chicken. On the whole loved it!

Small counter at the back of a South Asian food mart. I haven't eat much biryani in my life but I really liked this one. Tried some other meat stews and they were tasty and very spicy. I bit into some peppers and couldn't feel my mouth. I would recommend this place for their food.

We ordered food from Desi Khana for the first time for an Eid dinner at our place, I was very concerned regarding the quality as well as the portion size. I have to say Rizwan and his team were fantastic in their preparation of the food and delivered on their promise!!!!!! I had everyone asking me who the caterer was and they had such good food after a long time!! Fantastic job team Desi Khana, my friends and I are definitely ordering from you again and again!!

Delicious! Ordered bihari kebabs and butter naan. Everything was cooked in the tandoor, the bihari was juicy and smelt amazing. The naan was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, can't go wrong with fresh tandoori naan. Definitely coming back.
