Everything we ate was amazing and delicious the portions were good the only thing d say is it took a little bit for our food to come but because everything was so good it was worth the wait

It was my first time at Desi Bites! I really enjoyed the customer service and quality of food. It was my first time trying samosa chaat, and it was delicious and savory with the garbanzo beans. I enjoyed the Gobi Manchurian Biryani. It was my first time trying biryani, and the portion size was huge and full of spices! The service was quick too, and there is plenty of seating.

Tried this place on a weekday afternoon time, the place is good. Ambiance is nice and clean. Staff is decent. We tried their chats including papdi chat and dahi papdi chat, both of them were good. This is more like the hyderabadi style chat and not the north indian style of chat to be really specific. Overall, a good place to try.

Desi Bites PDX is located right next to their grocery store, which is very convenient if you neeed to do some shopping. The grocery store itself is small compared to others in town, but it has the essentials you would need to make Indian food. We have shopped at their grocery from time to time, but had not tried the restaurant before today. Finally we decided to come for lunch because we wanted to try the lunch Thalis. The dining area was pretty simple with tables and a TV by the end of the dinning area which was playing Bollywood musicals in the background. We ordered at the counter and received our food at our table. We ordered a Vegetarian Thali, a Non-Vegetarian Thali, and shared a Mango Lassi. We enjoyed everything that we ordered. Our server was very friendly and helpful, as he made sure that we understood how the Thalis worked after dropping off our plates. He made sure we understood what we ordered and what to do with the pickles and the yogurt sauce. The food was yummy and the rice/naan was perfectly cooked. I liked all the curries and my fiance really loved the salad with the round crackers. Since I don't eat spicy food, I was happy that nothing was too spicy and everything was seasoned just right. Since we ordered a vegetarian and a non vegetarian Thali, we tried each others food and decided that the meat does not necessarily add extra flavor to the curries. I was perfectly happy with my vegetarian curries as everything was savory and rich. The portions were very generous, too. When the food was served, I was surprised to see so nmuch butter naan stacked on top of the large bed of basmati rice. "That's a lot of food" I said to myself once I saw the amount of food in front of me. We were both smitten with the food. Overall, we were very happy to give Desi Bites a try. Not only the food was amazing, the price was very reasonable too. We would totally recommend Desi Bites to everyone we know.

Freshly made food every day and those spices are kicking and you can taste every spice they put in there with their food and I'm such a curry sucker as I love curry especially chicken curry as in my photo. I love naan too. Just like that I am dipping my garlic bread or bread in general in spaghetti sauce. I have to dip that bread in the curry. The service is very accommodating and the atmosphere is pleasant and I love the design of the restaurant and the owner is very kind and definitely recommend this restaurant. Hopefully, they open up another location in Portland.

I feel the need to absolutely update the rating based on my most recent experience. After hearing some good things about this place I visited them again and oh boy, was I glad to be proved wrong!! I don't know if they've upgraded their quality or its new management since the last time, but the food was excellent.i got a paneer sizzler which was perfect. The husband reported the tandoori chicken was delectable. Kudos for the excellent dal makhani as well!! This appears to be more of a takeout place but still, I'll eat this delicious food any day!

First time visiting and the area was special as one side was more of a restaurant with seats while the other side was a small supermarket. Kind of cool! We ordered one thing for take out and it was lamb biryani. To be honest, I never had Indian food but someone said this place was good so we decided to try. 1. Lamb Dum Biryani for $15.99. We asked mild as we can't really tolerate spice (I know it's not authentic but we really can't). The rice was nice, as we long the long grain rice. It was mixed with shredded carrots and others spices, too. The rice had some heat, even though it's mild, it was still making me having a runny nose. I also had the lamb which was less spicy. The lamb was very flavorful and tender. There was an egg there too and that one was the least spicy. It was very nice. This whole box was very generous with the portions. I don't know if I would try this place again because of the heat but for those who can handle it, it's good. I just needed some water haha. The spices/seasonings were nice.

Desi Bites is becoming one of my favorite spots for a lunch buffet. For now they only have it on Saturday, but I love that they post their buffet menu on their page so you know what to expect going on. They do a good job including a lot of vegetarian options. Their Shahi paneer was fantastic, and their gobhi Manchurian is by far my favorite. Their naans are usually fresh and their special appetizers especially their samosas are always on point. For a buffet the food as good as ordering separately so it's definitely worth trying a good portion of their menu on one day. And it's very reasonable. They usually post their buffet menu a day or two before the weekend so check it out it's definitely worth it
