Lovely addition to Leamington Spa. A unique cafe with Indian flavours, where you can enjoy fresh homemade food, including snacks, sandwiches and main dishes. The tea options are very good, and I would specially recommend the fresh mint tea or turmeric latte. It's a relaxing place, where you can also enjoy playing carrom,

Super cosy Indian Cafe run by a lovely family! I had the Bhel Puri and it was so full of flavour and amazing value. Can’t wait to work my way through the whole menu!

We popped into Desai's for tea and desserts after dinner, and it was a great experience. The Banana & Biscoff waffles and Strawberries with cookie dough were delicious, and the kids couldn’t get enough of their Nutella milkshakes. The masala chai with ginger was outstanding - full of flavour and easily beats anything you’d get at the chai chain shops. The family that run the place were very welcoming which created a relaxed atmosphere. The Indian decor made it feel cosy, and we had a great time playing on the carrom board. A perfect spot for a chilled evening. Highly recommend!

Hidden gem. As a punjabi, I found the food to be very authentic and well flavoured. We had the Masala cha (which they make fresh, not from a powder or syrup) and Dahi puri. Both were extremely good. I look forward to coming back again.

Absolutely blown away by the food at @desaisstreetfood! If you’re anywhere near Leamington, this place is a must-visit. We ordered the samosa chaat, egg bhurji toast, the Maharaja, and a perfectly brewed masala chai — every bite and sip was full of flavor and felt like pure comfort. The decor is gorgeous, the vibe is warm, and the service was genuinely excellent. It honestly felt like a home-cooked meal straight from a family kitchen.

Just had another amazing meal at Delights. This was our second time visiting and this time we brought the rest of the family to try all the delicious dishes. The food is so fresh and full of flavour. The family who run the cafe are very welcoming and happy to explain what the dishes are. Will definitely be back again and would recommend to all.

I ate here last night, and it was honestly delicious. Fresh, zingy and packed with flavour. We had a selection of street food dishes and every one was spot on. They also happily adapted them to make them vegan, going so far as to split the dishes in half (knowing my friend and I were sharing) so we could have vegan and non-vegan variants. The service was excellent, and the staff attentive and welcoming. Will absolutely be going back soon!

I came here today with my friend and her dog for the first time and we had such a great experience. Staff are extremely friendly and go the extra mile. Food and drinks were super tasty, I can't wait to come back to try the other things on the menu. Absolutely loved everything about Desai's, what a gem!
