⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic and delicious Indian food. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was incredibly delicious, full of rich flavors and spices that were perfectly balanced. The goat dish was the highlight for me — so tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic Indian food!

The Fish and Prawns Biryani were extremely flavorful, with each grain of rice perfectly cooked and infused with aromatic spices. 🍚👌 The Mango Butter Paneer was a highlight - the sweetness of the mango complemented the creaminess of the paneer perfectly, making it a dish we'd definitely order again. 🥭🧀 But what really took me back home was the Coconut Prawns Curry! It was like a taste of Ratnagiri, India, with the rich coconut flavor and spices transporting me back to the Konkan coast. The flavors were so authentic and reminiscent of home. 🥥🍤 To top it off, the drinks were $3 off, which was a lovely bonus. And the best part? They have a special deal every day, so there's always something to look forward to! 🎉 The prices were very reasonable, and the parking and transit options were super convenient. We're already planning our next visit to try their Indo-Chinese appetizers and lamb and chicken main courses. 🍴👌 Highly recommend Desi Turka to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food with great deals and a convenient location. Can't wait to go back!
Read more on Google →Extremely disappointed. Found this steel scrubber in my food. I called the restaurant to look into the issue. unfortunately, it seemed like they don't care at all. Definitely, food safety standards are extremely low here…surely, never gonna order from here ever again… And looking at the attitude and ignorance of the staff, I just have no words …
