Small, cozy Indian spot delivering standout butter chicken and chaat with friendly service, but space is tight and waits can happen; good value at lunch, moderate for dinner.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Indian Bites delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong food quality—particularly standout butter chicken and samosa chaat—paired with genuinely warm, attentive service. However, inconsistent execution on naan and occasional timing issues, combined with very limited seating in a tight basement space, prevent a higher grade. The central location and loyal following reflect solid neighborhood appeal rather than destination status.
Restaurant Summary
Tucked in a tiny basement near the center, Indian Bites feels cozy and homely. Guests talk about smiling servers and fragrant curries, with one calling it “as comforting as a home-cooked meal.” Space is tight, so expect limited seating and some peak-time waits. The kitchen leans traditional North Indian with a few playful touches—think butter chicken, chole, palak paneer, and a lively samosa chaat—more elevated comfort than experimental. Spice levels are happily tailored, and lunch deals shine for value; a handful of items like pani puri and naan timing draw mixed notes, but the signatures deliver. For families, the menu offers kid-friendly winners: mild butter chicken with rice, plain or cheese naan, and creamy paneer dishes. Portions read moderate rather than huge, seating is snug, and service can slow when busy, but most kids will find familiar favorites they enjoy.
