Desi Galli

Desi Galli is one of those rare spots in New York that instantly transports you. Best Indian food in NYC!!!!!!
The service is quick, warm, and delightfully unpretentious exactly what you want from a casual spot that knows its food speaks for itself.
The Kathi rolls are an absolute standout: tender, flavorful, perfectly spiced, and wrapped in soft paratha that melts in your mouth. The pani puri is crisp and bright, with tangy water that hits all the right notes. And the chicken tikka sliders are a must-try a playful twist that still honors classic flavors.

In a city overflowing with food options, Desi Galli manages to feel special — a spot you find yourself returning to again and again. For anyone craving authentic Indian street food with a modern touch, this place is an absolute gem.

I got the Aloo Gosht Roll and the Chicken Tikka Masala with medium spice. It was really good. The restaurant was not that packed when I got there around 5 pm. The food was great and very flavorful. My two items with 15% tip was $35.31.

The Aloo Gosht was really good and I would recommend the chicken Tikka Masala.

One of my favorite spots in NY. As a desi food lover this checks every box. Tons of Veg options.

Pani puri is fire!

Also restock a bunch of groceries & spices for home. Super convenient!

PROs - good Kathi rolls , good location
CONs - taste in some items , a little expensive combos

Desi galli has been around for a longgggg time . Their Kathi rolls are very famous and fills up your stomach . Very good location .. right on heart of Lexington Avenue where all other restaurants are . No parking available . Good for visitors who walk around in Lex ave . There was some road work going on . It was very dusty outside and we could hardly see the shop . Inside the shop, there are no seats when you enter : I thought it was To-Go only but they said there are seats at the basement . Nice seating arrangement inside . Few seats but it looked comfortable .

Went inside looking at Maggie samosa menu outside . It was very average . Maggie wasn’t tasty inside the samosa.. it was quite bland and no spice or salt . 🧂.. chutneys were good though. Would not recommend Maggi samosa . I loved their aloo paneer tikki kathi roll … for 8$ it was worth it . I actually just got a roll and samosa and the lady in counter said it’s better to get the same as a combo. I believed her and it looked like I paid more on a combo - which was about 15$.. Kathi roll plus samosa was 12$ !!  I got confused when she offered the combo offer but it was just to get charged more . I still recommend their Kathi rolls . Really good . I think for 18-20$ it was expensive ! In other places around you will get a big fat meal for the same money ! 3 stars ! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

I stopped in for lunch and got 2 maggi samosas and the vegan beyond Kathi roll.

The maggi samosa was fun to try, though the maggi wasn’t as flavorful as it could be. It was served with a sweet chutney, but I think it would have been better with a savory chutney that maybe had maggi seasoning in it.

The Kathi roll was really delicious! The beyond meat was super tender, and the roll as a whole was satisfying.

The restaurant does have a downstairs seating area where you can eat, but it’s not super big. I was the only one eating in when I was there mid-day on a Sunday, but multiple to-go orders were picked up while I was there eating.
