Authentic Indian food I’ve eaten so far in the UK!!! I am a student living in UK since last 5 months and have been literally missing Indian food.. Tried Indian food in many cities across UK and none of them had those authentic Indian flavours that Desi-Old India Cafe delivered! I really mean it!! Thank you the amazing food.. It really felt like being in India once again. Bless you guys!
