| - While hardly the best in the 5&10 neighborhood, Desi Corner was always a decent enough spot to grab quick Indian takeout (chicken biryani, naan, kebabs etc). I used to always say that the saturation of Indians in Mississauga had created such healthy competition, that it's not that easy to find a spot that serves genuinely bad Indian food. While I would never recommend Desi Corner over BarBQ Tonite for instance, if you were looking for something decent, fast and cheap, Desi Corner was the place to go...until recently. Not sure if the management and/or kitchen staff (read: aunties and nanis) has changed, but the food here has sadly now gone from just decent to less than sub par.
I recently did a small order for a group and this is what we received:
1. Biryani, which was basically overcooked, mushy rice-cooker rice + masala, and what would appear to have been 1 cup of cooking oil in the takeout tray. So tragic.
2. Chicken kebabs, which were dry and almost entirely bland.
3. Ginger Chicken Masala, which was also quite bland and tasted like yesterday's chicken tikka masala with some ginger thrown in for good measure.
4. Undercooked doughy Naans.
5. Watered down raita (but to be fair, this is commonplace)
Sad to say that Desi corner, while far, far from being the best, was never this awful in the past. The food now is lazy, needlessly greasy and doesn't even taste good.
