Wish granted

How would you translate "wish granted"? For example, someone asks you to do something and you immediately stand up, say "wish granted" and go do what they ask. How about "deseo otorgado"? Any better options?

Spontaneously -and the popular culture- i would say "Deseo cumplido."
But the one you said sounds better, i agree with chileno.

"Deseo concedido" es la expresión estándar que aprendí en Las Mil y Una Noches.

Agree with Angélicas's "deseo concedido". It's the common formula in the fairy world (genies included ))
