Website Description not showing in Google search engine

Question

My website description not showing in Google search engine.

I wrote description meta tag inside the header tag.

and my robots.txt file as below

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

When i am searching in google i am getting below message A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt – learn more.

You told Google not to look at your page. Now it can't see something you wrote on the page. Why are you surprised? "Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this!" "So don't do that". — Quentin, May 05 '16 at 12:19
But why google search engine not showing my website description, any solution to this — user3363965, May 05 '16 at 12:23
Your website description is embedded in a page you forbade Google from reading! — Quentin, May 05 '16 at 12:36

Thank you for your information. if i do changes and deployed in the server, then how much time it will take to display a description in search engine. – user3363965 May 10 '16 at 10:16
I'd say about a week, but honestly I don't know. – Pedro Lobito May 10 '16 at 10:30
