We encountered some issues there know where there was the grilled shrimp Poboy was prepared as fried so I had to have my entrée re-done entirely while my wife received her tray and eight. It was sub optimal. But this is a first time us encountering an issue like this at Desi Vegas and hopefully won't happen again.

The food was excellent - the service was very good. There was a mixup on the appetizer however. We ordered an appetizer for the table and they brought out an appetizer for each customer. We thought they should have offered to take them back, but they did not.
