⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Late-Night Experience at Desi Turka! We visited Desi Turka in New Westminster late at night and were extremely impressed by the food and service. We ordered Paneer Kadai, Tandoori Naan, Papad, Rice, and Dal Fry — everything tasted fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a beautiful interior, and even though it was late, the staff provided excellent customer service and took great care of us. Really appreciate their hospitality. Highly recommend others to visit! One of the best Indian food restaurants around Burnaby and New Westminster. Will definitely come back!

The chicken was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and beautifully seasoned — one of the best I’ve had. The service was just as impressive. The lady who served us was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Arshia made the whole experience even more enjoyable with her warm attitude and great hospitality.

The food was prepared without onion and garlic, exactly as requested, and everything was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The food was delivered hot and right on time, and all my guests truly loved it. On top of that, they offered us a very good deal for our home function, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic, tasty Satvik food and reliable service. I will definitely order again from Desi Turka.

They served up great food, especially the biryani, which was the best I've had in my modest history of Indian cuisine. The server was pleasant and appropriately attentive, although the food seemed to take a little longer than I expected. Prices were reasonable, and curbside parking was available nearby. I'll be happy to try more of the food if I'm in the area again.
