    Very good experience. The filet mignon was so flavorful and delicious. We loved the mac and cheese and potatoes au gratin. Our waiter was so attentive and hilarious. We loved our experience at Desi Vegas.

    I had dinner with a large party just last night. My opinion was already that the food was divine. I already thought the atmosphere was warm. But the way Jai and John took care of my party of 13 for my special day? Perfection!

Last night were did a surprise party for a friend, our table only had 7 people and We were almost finished and was asked to leave, I guess to seat other people idk but There was 2 other tables around us, 1 was a 12 too that were there before us and they were told nothing. Completely unprofessional and was handled wrong.

    Extremely good food! Everything was great. The ambiance was superb. The room being divided as it was made it less noisy and we could hear each other talk. Dessert was a must have, brownie a la mode!
