Wow, this is some damn fine food. Why not five stars? Because the ordering process was a little convoluted; if you have more than one person ordering, make sure you figure out whats being ordered. Because the wraps and other dishes can be made fresh, if one or more in your party order from the pseudo-buffet side, you will get your food at the same time your friends finish up. The A/C was broken, but they had fans that were keeping it relatively cool. I had the spicy minced lamb wrap, which I ordered because it sounded interesting and unique -- everything else on the menu is relatively standard fare for a place offering this type of food. It was fantastic. Hot both in heat and spice, but not overwhelming. Huge portions! The only drawback were the fries. The meal could stand on its own without crinkle cut fries, and I really didnt eat them. They should probably put some menus out that explain what each item is. Theres so much goodness to order, but some folks who arent familiar with the names might shy away as a result, and thats a shame!

For starters, the young lady who assisted us couldnt have been nicer, she was really a sweet person, this review doesnt reflect our service. We had the lunch buffet, there arent more than a dozen offerings, so plenty. The food tasted great. Why two stars you might ask? I truly hope the owner reads this review. Regardless of how you conduct your personal affairs, how you keep your house or car, a restaurant must be clean first and foremost. I wish I would have taken photos. Absolutely appalling. Im talking the garbage can is filthy, perhaps never cleaned. The windows and glass doors so smudged and full of debris the place looks abandoned. Cleaning doesnt cost anything. Its a damn shame this place doesnt take any pride in its appearance. Id not dine here again unless it was spotless.

I am not a big fan of typical Indian buffets and I was looking for an Indian place with a difference. Spicy bites turned out to be the perfect answer. We go there at least once a month. I love their snacks (bhel puri, chaat etc). Their kathi rolls are very tasty. My favorites are chicken tikka kathi roll and minced lamb. We always end our meals with a yummy falooda. I have never tried their regular non-veg platters, so I cant really comment about them. We also tried their biryani recently which was very good. I would recommend this to anyone interested in a different Indian food experience.My advice, try their chaats and rolls instead of going for the regular fare.

This is my first time writing a review for any restaurant and for a change my compusions were a result of experiencing one of the best outdoor catering experience with Spicy Bites. We got in touch with Spicy Bites thru internet for food catering for about 100 people at a picnic resort. To be honest we were little hesitant to trust them in the beginning but they delivered more than 100%. Their bathuras, paneer sabji, noodles and gosht from our menu tasted very fresh and totally satisfying for each and everyone of our guests. Besides the excellent food was their ever pleasant attitude. Spicy Bites was more than a bite size for us.

Called in an order for takeout. Ordered the eggplant curry. "We dont have that today." Okay, lets go with the Dal Makhani. "We dont have that today." Seriously? Fine...I guess, uh, Ill take the Mushroom Masala. "We dont have that today." WHAT?!?!?! After settling for the Chana Masala, Ive decided this if this restaurant ever wants my business again, Ill tell them "You dont have it today. Or any other day for that matter." You cant prepare me 3 different things off of the menu? Being this was my 1st visit, I will say that first impressions are everything. Food was OK, the rest of the experience was terrible.

I found this place in desire to eat India food. The place is small and cozy. The people are really nice. The FOOD....is amazing. As you taste that first bite, the flavors dance on your tongue and will remind you the authentic taste of INDIA. Yes, I am not exaggerating, its been a while since I have had authentic, flavorful (not just spicy), and portioned food. It feels like home away from home. I would recommend this place if you truly like the freshly cooked meal. We have a lot of Indian restaurants around our place but if I need to do a carry out it will be from this place.

Spicy Bites has the authentic Indian Food.They do not compromise on quality and therefore it feels like a second home.Service is very prompt and the rates are very reasonable and pocket friendly.If you are planning a special event then you must try their spread .Alpana (owner) has a great understanding of food and she brings out the best.You must try their desserts like RasMalai and Shahi Tukda. They Specialise in Dal Makhani, Methi Matar Malai and Indo chinese. Rajasthani Daal Baati is not to be missed

The service here was horrible. The usual owner wasnt around, and we saw both food and service has degraded a lot! We waited for more than half an hour for our order, and followed up thrice. People who came after us were served before we were served. When we shared our concern, the girl on counter started showing an attitude instead of trying to fix the problem. She didnt even care to apologize for our inconvenience. I will think twice before heading out to this place again.

Spicy Bites offers excellent and authentic Indian food. Taste is impeccable and ambience is homely. service is very prompt and its easy on pocket. They take utmost care of small details .Their Indo chinese buffet is definitely worth a try. We ordered for one of our event from their restaurant .Food was delivered on time and freshly made.Quantities were more than sufficient . Our guests were super delighted to have their food.
