Dil Se Desi

You can find us at Shop 15 B in the Amrapali Princely Estate in Sector 76, Noida. Since we are inside a residential complex we mostly serve the families who live right here. Dil Se Desi is our attempt at bringing real home-style flavors to the neighborhood. Noida can feel a bit cold with all the high-rise buildings and concrete but we try to make our shop feel warm. We aren't a big restaurant with a waitstaff in uniforms. It’s a more casual setup where you can just walk in and pick up dinner for your family. We use a lot of regional spices and try not to make everything too oily. The kitchen is visible so you can see what’s going on while you wait. We know a lot of the residents by their names and we know which kids don't like chillies in their food. It’s a nice way to run a business because it feels like we are part of the family next door. Sometimes the delivery guys are running late because the security at the gate is strict but we try to get the food out as fast as possible. It’s a simple life running a food shop in a big apartment complex. We just keep cooking every day and hope the neighbors keep coming back for more. We don't have a fancy website or anything like that. We just focus on the food and the people in the estate.
