A Desi Diner is an exciting new addition to Manhattan. It is for local New Yorkers interested in the local dining scene with a little twist, as well as, for tourists offering a packing punch of the uniqueness New York has to offer. Desi in hindi refers to the peoples, cultures and products of the Indian subcontinent (encompassing India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and arguably more). The word is originally (or claimed to be) from the language Sanskrit literally meaning "from the country" or "of the country". |

Just as a diner offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night dining, A Desi Diner offers all that with a twist i.e. offering Desi (Indian Subcontinent) cuisine and many popular American menu items under the same roof. The cuisine itself is authentic and deep rooted, but what is unique is the menu that unites food lovers from across the globe offering popular Desi and American menu items! The decor is deep, rich red with bold stainless steel and bright lighting yet very simple and inviting. The menu ranges from classic breakfast selections, sandwiches, burgers, curries, kabaabs from the tandoor (Indian Clay Oven), dosa, desserts, milk shakes, and more! |
