    We went in the Saturday following Valentine’s Day and enjoyed the prix-fixe Valentine’s dinner. The food options were good. Our dinner, wine selection and service were very good.

    Food and service were great. Place can get a bit noisy. But again, it is a bar/restaurant. Saying that, would still go back again in a heartbeat!

    Dined at Desi Accent on Sunday afternoon. Very pleased that there was a buffet available so that so many different dishes could be tasted and enjoyed. Everything was beyond delicious! Starting with the chicken soup- spiced and delicious. warm Naan brought to the table. The veggie samosa and vegetable pakora were a great start to our meal. The Butter Chicken , Tandoori Chicken and Aloo Gobhi were very flavorful. We went back for more! So many dishes to sample! Ending with pistachio kulfa and also a mango kulfi- fabulous. Cocktails were different and delicious. Service was efficient and friendly. The owner walked throughout the restaurant checking in with guests- nice touch. Prices are fair and reasonable. Definitely will be back!!!
