Food is okay, a little pricey for what you get. Wait is long, ordered a soup and main dish waited for about 45 min. Staff is nice though. Overall it was okay!
Reviews / Ratings for Desi Taste (Québec)
I rarely write negative reviews, but this experience was genuinely disappointing. As someone familiar with authentic Indian/Pakistani cuisine, it was disheartening to see such low-quality food being served to a non-Indian community—it gives the wrong impression of how rich and flavorful our cuisine truly is. The lamb vindaloo was completely off. Instead of a bold, spicy curry, it was filled with potatoes, broccoli, and green peppers—ingredients that simply don’t belong in a traditional lamb dish, especially not one that’s meant to highlight the richness of the meat. The chicken curry was equally confusing—overly oily with an unclear flavor profile. The only redeeming part was that the chicken thighs themselves were tender, but that alone couldn’t save the dish. The rotis turned hard and rubbery within minutes, making them difficult to enjoy. The naan wasn’t authentic either, but at least it remained soft longer than the roti, which made it slightly more palatable. Ordered at 8.30pm and got delivered at 9.45pm. Overall, this felt like a complete waste of money. Honestly, a simple pizza would have made for a much better family dinner. Experiences like this make you regret not choosing something else—and unfortunately, we ended up relying on pizza for days afterward. Very disappointing.

Had a great experience at Desi Taste Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and reminded me of authentic homemade desi cooking. The spices were perfectly balanced and every dish was full of taste. The staff specifically the chef abdul was friendly and the service was quick. Definitely a nice place to enjoy traditional Indian/Punjabi food with family and friends. Highly recommended if you are craving real desi flavors!
Hospitality and food was really good. We order daal makhni, shani paneer with tandoori roti, mango lassi and special indian chai. Sam & another staff member attended us well. Every penny worth. 👌
Honestly, this restaurant truly has an authentic Punjabi touch in its food. Even though I’ve tried other restaurants in the city, I didn’t enjoy the taste as much as here. The food feels genuine, and the dal makhni is especially excellent. Sam is great person and recommend good options provided great customer service .
Best Dal Makhani in the City! "Had an incredible dine-in experience here last night! The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, with warm lighting that makes it perfect for a dinner date or family meal. We ordered the signature Dal Makhani, and it was exceptional—rich, creamy, and slow-cooked to perfection. The tandoori roti was fresh, hot, and had the perfect smokiness, straight from the tandoor. Service was top-notch;Can't wait to go back!" Special thanks to Sam for great service….
Food was very good, especially Dal Makhni and tandoori roti was delicious. You can also try Mango Lassi.
The food was really good, authentic taste and the hospitality was great.
Alhamdulillah, we had such a wonderful lunch here! Every dish was delicious and the flavors genuinely reminded me of home in India. The spices, the freshness everything was spot on. The staff was very welcoming and the overall experience was amazing. Definitely a must‑visit whenever you’re in Quebec City!
