Desika Foods is a true gem in Novi! This family-run store brings the authentic flavors of South India right to Michigan. What sets them apart is their commitment to quality—many of their products, including rice and lentils, are sourced directly from their own farms in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu .   The grocery selection is impressive, featuring a variety of fresh vegetables, organic staples, and hard-to-find South Indian ingredients. Their in-house café offers delicious home-style meals; the biryani is a must-try, and their Saturday vegetarian brunch with filter coffee is a delightful experience .  The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to assist with a smile. The store is clean, well-organized, and exudes a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you’re seeking authentic South Indian groceries and cuisine, Desika Foods is the place to go. Highly recommended!

A True Gem for Quality Indian Groceries & Food. Desika Foods & Home Style Kitchen is hands down the best Indian grocery and food spot I’ve discovered. Everything they sell is organic, non-GMO, and sourced directly from their own farms in India — you can truly taste the difference. Their vegetables come from trusted local farmers, and their milk is from Calder, which is top quality. They also have a small restaurant serving authentic South Indian dishes made with the same high standards. From snacks to biryanis and ready-made curries, everything is delicious and wholesome. I’ve been a regular for over a year, and their products have transformed my family’s lifestyle for the better. It may not look like a fancy place, but the quality, consistency, and care they put into everything is unmatched. Highly recommend!

Wow we really fortunate enough to have this store. Most of the stores carry regular grocery they have no chemical pesticides lentils and rice bags etc .. We liked it so much owner is very friendly he is taking time to explain the information well. Interestingly we have millet batters I haven’t seen these many verity millet batters earlier. Price is bit expensive I agree with all others remember one thing. Quality is always costly. You can’t expect $3 burger with quality and healthy

I recently tried Desika Foods and had an overall awesome experience! They stock ingredients directly from Tamil Nadu and grind their own oil here, which really shows in the quality. The dosa batter, both millet and normal, was fantastic, and the dosas turned out amazing. The peanut oil they use has a great smell and addictive quality. However, the prices are a bit on the higher side. On the downside, the person at the desk could have been more kind and polite - their attitude was off-putting. Despite the price and service, I'd still highly recommend Desika Foods for their delicious and authentic food stuffs.

Food Quality is awesome and Customer service is great. I love their tea and snacks, I heard from gentleman they are importing the tea products directly from Ooty estate. Good taste. Also, Sugar they provide is mixed with dry ginger which enhancing the tea flavor. Onion samosa, Peanut Candy and Karuppu Kavuni rice payasam are must try. My one stop shop for rice, oil & millet varieties.

Absolutely wonderful experience. The food is delicious, with clean ingredients, and the employees are super friendly. They also have amazing organic dry goods, like beans, grains, flours, and their own cold-pressed oils.
