******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS******Desi Fusion is a casual South Indian Restaurant located in Peoria Arizona in a strip mall on Bell Road by a cluster of car dealers. Desi Fusion offers both non-vegetarian and vegetarian biryanis, curries, tandoori, naan, bread, pizzas, shawarma, soups and more. It’s very casual. You order at the counter and seat yourself inside or on one of the few tables outside on the patio.
I was told by a penpal in India that it is a welcoming thing to hang leaves and flowers in the restaurant.
The inside is casual.
Things that I tried so far –
onion kulcha – YUM! Get It
mirchi bajji (vegetarian stuffed and battered peppers) Tasty! Worth a Try!
Chicken 65 – If you can do spicy YOU MUST GET THIS!!*******Chicken just melts in your mouth and is full of many delicious flavors with nuts and heat.
Got but forgot to photo the Nellore Chepala Pulusa (South Indian Fish Curry) If you can do spicy GET THIS!….It’s mild white fish in a very flavorful chunky tomato sauce that comes with fluffy rice…really delicious!
Bullet naan -not sure what I got here but was suppose to be jalapeño and cilantro. Tasty whatever it was.
Chili Eggs – GET THEM if you can do spicy. Very tasty battered eggs that are sort of sweet a little sour and spicy full of flavors.
lemon chicken – very tender and very flavorful…not similar to any American Lemon Chicken. Worth a try!
Dum Biryani – I was told that this is an authentic Biryani – GET THIS! Ours was extremely flavorful and spicy. The chicken in it was tender as can be and was developed with flavors. I also was very impressed with the chunky tomato condiment. It was much more spicy and more flavorful than from other near by Indian restaurants that I have been to.
Desi Fusion was busier on our last visit and our order took 45 minutes to prepare.
In the left upper corner is zeera ajwain naan. Worth a try!
Left lower corner – kahi thalawa machi (mild white fish marinated in spices and fried in gram flour. Delicious…Worth a try.
Middle – Desi Spl Chicken Maharaja spicy biryani – Very Good…Flavorful but not as spicy as the Dum Biryani. The Chicken here was boneless and as tender as can be. Although this dish was flavorful and delicious I am concerned about the heat level because this dish was described as spicy and was far less spicy than some of the previous dishes I tried………….(I hope the heat levels aren’t being toned down to please the masses…….or maybe this dish just runs with less heat?……I don’t know…) Worth a try and better than most biryani I’ve tried in this area but I did prefer the dum biryani over this one.
Really enjoy the chutneys or condiments. They are much more flavorful (and also spicy) than from some of the other Indian restaurants that are or were in the area.
Right bottom corner in picture – The Forking Truth is that we ordered a tandoori vegetable platter….this is obviously not a tandoori vegetable platter…We ate it anyway. All tasty a variety of vegetarian appetizers.

That was a bigger TASTE of Desi Fusion. I read on their Facebook that they recently opened a second location in Mesa.******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS*****
Desi Fusion seems to be Worth a Fork!
