Located inside Maker Chamber 5 that’s situated right in
front of the makeshift mini fair in Nariman Point, that has those swings and
rides decorated with lights, is DesiKlub. Coming from the makers of SpiceKlub, Quattro and Rolling Pin, DesiKlub is also based on the same concept- fusion food. The décor
talks of Mumbai in every element of theirs, with huge life-size posters, chairs
with areas of Mumbai written on them, cute cutlery and utensils in which the
food is served, and a very lively colourful feel to it. The place is purely
vegetarian, like all other restaurants under this bandwagon
Chitthi Aayi Hai |
We tried their Taste Ka Kuan, Tu Cheese Badi Hain Mast Mast,
Chitthi Aayi Hai and Paneer Roller Coaster in starters. All four were really
delicious, but Chitthi Aayi Hai was my absolute favourite! It was a starter
with rumali roti wrapped around paneer and topped with a superb waldorf salad!
It was the perfect balance of the spiciness of the paneer and the sweetness of
the salad.
Taste Ka Kuan |
Taste Ka Kuan was another exceptional dish. Made in the form of a
basket with the stuffing of potatoes found in a samosa, it was mixed with
coriander chutney, saunth chutney, sweet curd, and topped with lots of sev, and pomegranate and
coriander for garnishing. The dish was edible in all its entirety, with the
basket serving as the exterior of a samosa. Oh my god, what delicious flavours!
Tu Cheese Badi Hai Mast Mast was paneer bhurji mixed with three kind of cheese and served on cheese crackers. Very delicious and a great job done with the mix of cheese in it. You could taste cheese in every bite. Paneer Roller Coaster was a treat to the taste buds like no other. Paneer with
cheese, onions and coriander stuffed inside a thin coating of bread, and deep-fried
to a crisp perfection. Served piping hot with a peri-peri dip, it simply melted
in the mouth!!

For main course we tried the Rassedar Aloo Puri and Desi Burrito, and both these dishes were as good as the appetizers. The Aloo Poori was served in a cute little miniature rickshaw, with the curry being absolutely spot-on with spices and salt, and the thin crisp fluffy pooris being the perfect accompaniment! The Desi Burrito however was the dish that blew my mind away! The rice in the burrito were full of spice (not chilli), mixed with paneer tikka and served with 2 chutneys, chips and salad. Very filling and so good!

With the food being spectacular, Desiklub only needs to get
their drinks and desserts fixed. The desserts were also okay for a bite or two
to end the meal on a sweet note, but nothing when compared to the amazing food
we had before the desserts.
The prices are very affordable, the presentation is super
cute, the staff is extremely courteous and helpful and the service of food is
prompt too. A must must try place for all!
