Punjabi Spice & Deli

Desi Stop and Deli is a fantastic spot for affordable and delicious Indian and Punjabi food. The homemade taste really stands out, especially with their soft, fresh rotis that feel like they’re straight from a home kitchen. Their platters, priced around $13, are the best deal, including 2 vegetarian curries, 2 rotis, and rice—a perfect, satisfying meal. Occasionally, they also offer free sweet dishes like Rasmalai or Kheer, depending on the size of your order, which is a delightful touch. Every dish is flavorful, though the salt can be a little less sometimes, but it’s easy to adjust. The staff is warm, welcoming, and respectful, making the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic, homemade Indian food!

Before with the old management and how the store looked I didn’t have any hopes that it would last longer than 3 months. New management came in and they turned it AROUND. The food is so good, and the owner is pure and down to Earth. Will be recommending this to many people. Wish them the best

Absolutely amazing food from these guys. I’m a regular here and I wanted to try something new. These are some of the underrated items on the menu (the left is soya malai champ, left is their chowmein)

I am Indian student living near manhattan and miss Indian cuisines alot ….but when I visited this restaurant …try there tandoori champ it purely satisfied my cravings☺️☺️staff and service were also good … it made my day ❤️

omg! amazing dahi Puri😍Its such a mouth watering experience ❤️i love it and surely visit soon for trying another amazing items from their menu❤️👌keep going desi stop👌

Samosa is frozen and bread pakora quality is poor to hard to eat. I order Dal makhani they gave me ordinary daal shahi paneer is to much oil.

This is one of the best places for Indian food in New York. Everything is very delicious and was served fresh. Sunny from the hotel was very kind and helpful. Will visit this again on my next trip to New York.

Absolutely terrible from start to finish. I don’t even know where to begin, but let’s start with the fact that walking into this place felt like stepping into a time warp where customer service and quality food no longer exist. The food? Bland, overcooked, and honestly, questionable. I’ve had better meals from a frozen dinner. Portions were tiny for the price, and the presentation looked like someone just threw it on the plate as an afterthought. As for taste? Nonexistent. It was like eating cardboard, if cardboard were soggy and tasteless. Had worst Indian Food Service? An absolute joke. The staff acted like they were doing me a favor by even acknowledging my presence. Slow, rude, and completely disinterested. I waited forever for my food, and when it finally arrived, it was cold. Not that it mattered—because cold or hot, it was disgusting. The atmosphere? Dark, dingy, and uncomfortable. Tables were not there, and the noise level made it impossible to enjoy any conversation. The whole place just felt dirty, like it hadn’t been cleaned properly in months. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this place. I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. Total waste of time and money.
