Bites Of India in Belfast

Delicious authentic Indian food with very friendly staff. Loved the experience and was the perfect destination for us to quench our craving for home!

Food was good, very cold on arrival but that isn’t the restaurants fault. Naan was absolutely cremated

Excellent food, great service. Maybe slightly overpriced, but otherwise no complaints at all. Some interesting house specialisms which you may not get in most Indian restaurants.

Quite possibly the WORST Indian takeaway I have ever had £32. For absolute rubbish, most of which went in the bin. Your food needs a rethink guys. Totally misrepresented in your pics. Naan bread was like a wrap from Tesco, onion bahji are round flat discs both mains were very acidic in taste. Chicken chilli starter was just awful. Felt like I was eating food from about 12 hours earlier. So annoyed hence the negative review.

Could not visit because it was closed down. There was no explanation from the owners / management as to if or when this restaurant might reopen.

We (me and my adult son) booked this last minute on Saturday night after a woman recommended the place to us . . A female member of staff welcomed us . We asked if they catered for vegans and they assured us that they do . We took our seats and ordered under the advice of the member of staff who asked us in which manner would we like it cooked mild and such which was fantastic as we are very aware having travelled to India in the past that authentic Indian cooking is totally different to what the British consumer is used to . Our meals both vegan were very nice indeed, good sized portions and the right balance of spice and heat for our palates . During our visit many other customers arrived . The staff were very courteous . We tried to guess the amount our bill would be compared to our numerous Indian meals in the past and we were over twenty pounds over , so very good value..... If we go back to Belfast we would go back in a heartbeat.

This was a real surprise . We came here for a late lunch but it was by far the most authentic experience we have had. We had the mixed non veg starter to share and I had the South Indian dosa which I have never seen before. It felt so authentic- and the service was amazing. We cannot wait to come back. I’d not given it consideration in the past but is by far my go to place for authentic Indian cuisine. Amazing - thank you for bringing this to Belfast!

There were some good things about here but the food was not one of them. I live Indian food and have eaten a lot of it in India and many other places in the world. It's hard to get bad indian food but this was it. The spinach dish tasted like soggy spinach with no spices I couldn't even eat it. The Koran had about 1kg of sugar in it so if you like dessert you might like it and another paneer dish was edible but you wouldnt come back for more. However the staff were super friendly, the music was great and it's very cute so maybe your menu choices would turn out better. But even the roti was bad and the pippadoms stale so unlikely

We went as a family last night to celebrate a birthday we arrived at 17:45 to avail of the early bird 3pm-6pm offer see pic below. We got seated and I asked the waiter re: about early bird offer he appeared on unaware of this. His English was very poor and was actually quite rude. I said to him that it was on the window he unfortunately still remained clueless. My partner went outside to take a picture of the meal deal to show waiter what we would like when he came back to get our orders. He arrived back to take our drink orders at 17:55 we asked for soft drinks, which he brought to our table. He then proceeded to ask us what we would like and I showed him the picture of the meal deal on my phone. He immediately checked his watch it was 6:03pm he said I will need to check with the chef so off he went came back to our table to say no we can’t have the early bird offer as it was after 6pm. We stated to him that we were here before 6pm but he done so much messing around, only one table with two people sitting no takeaway orders happened this whole time period. We told the waiter that we wouldn’t be eating here, he was smiling couldn’t have cared less. We advise him that he has lost our custom tonight and going forward. Still he remained unapologetic and didn’t care. We previously have ordered from here but definitely will not be back. I think giving the current climate and people trying to make ends meet restaurants definitely are at risk with this poor attitude to customers! Wouldn’t even give this place 1 star. Would definitely like management to make contact with me! Poor service!

So delicious & authentic & such good quality on top of a fair price. Outstanding customer service & very friendly staff

I took my husband and my son to belfast for a Xmas break and being asian myself and my son love asian food the hotter the better, Now bare it does say bring your own drinks but we were having diet cokes which we ordered with our meal, I was just having the water as I don't drink fizzy soda's, So 2x cans of coke arrives and off the waiter goes, we had to summon him back and pointed out that we asked for Diet cokes is what we has asked for, The place was almost empty apart from 1 other table and us, so you can understand the place was not busy in the least, the food was very bland and was quite small portions but that was fine, we finished our meal and my husband usualy checks the bill but on this occasion he didnt as he just wanted to leave after saying that the waiter was rood I have to agree as I didnt want to say anything either as it on the 27th of december and we were going back home the next day we just let it go, My husband always usualy leaves a tip of £5 pounds where ever we go but not on this occasion, even when we were getting up from our seats the waiter seems to be on a timer to see how fast he can get rid of customers out of the seating area as he was clearing the table up even when my husband was still standing by the table he was reaching for his coat on the back of the chair and the waiter grabbed that has well, A few days later my husband found the reciept in his pocket and discovered the we had been charged Corkage charges for opening up 3x cans of coke when only 2 were bought at £1.95 each and a further £3 for openning, considering we did not bring them in with us We find this totally uneseptable for anyone to do this to any customer and we don't in any way think that's good on how to treat customers, this is not an oversight and can't be a mistake of any kind, as I said the portions were not large and the cost of the meal was over £58 pounds even for 3 mains it was not value for money, I had nan breads but evn at that it still wasnt worth it, so if you do visit here just a word of warning to check your bill before you pay or leave for unbought and unfair charges added on, We are not tight people but if no one say's anything then no one will notice, I phoned a few days aferwards after getting the number online as there is no number on the reciept (wonder why) from home to just to make a point and to cerify a few things to the Manager, but after he said it may have been his other place which we checked online and made sure it was definately the correct address, but he didnt seem to care much or to accept what I was actualy saying as he didnt offer an apoligy and said they were busy on the night, which of course it was not as explained above, all he said was to come back some day even after me saying that we don't live there or even nearby and we are hardly unlikely to jump on a ferry just to go back, the point I was trying to make is that it shouldnt have happened in the first place, I think it's sad for restaurants thinking this is acceptable, I didn't get an apoligy and think it was Unnecessary, Hense the title of my review.

Nice decor,excellent friendly staff,good food, reasonable price, I had the butter chicken which was great,my partner had masala which she also said was very tasty

Enjoyed a really nice meal here tonight. From the moment we arrived, we experienced really good service. Our food was delicious and we didn’t wait long for it to arrive. Would definitely return when back in Belfast. Shout out to Henok. Excellent at his job. Thank you

We visited on 23 Oct 2022 with 5 families on reference. Food is very expensive and is not worth of money. We cannot differential between pothara & puri. Portions are very small. In term of taste, it is not recommended. In term of service, there is only one person who is serving, delays in serving food Our overall experience for this restaurant is not good.

The food here was very good as well as the service. We had a very friendly man who was here when we needed assistance! The portions were great! We would recommend Manchurian (that was very yummy)along with the lamb! Everything was fresh and hot! 10/10. The kids portion was great and it it had a side of chips which were very well seasoned. Everything was great and I would definitely recommend coming here 😃 They also got us a heater because he saw we were cold. The toilets were also very clean!

We spontaneously stopped for dinner and we’re so glad we did! Exceptional hospitality from someone who we assume is “the mum” of a family run restaurant. She advised us on specialities and even brought me a special mango drink when I said my mouth was...

We love Indian food and frequently eat it. We walked passed this restaurant & saw they had a special of a starter and main course if you ate before 6pm. We were very disappointed in the portion size of the main course. It was very...

My daughter and I were in Bangor, hadn't eaten in hours because we had been driving all day, so we thought it would be a nice treat to order food in to arrive when we were arriving home, save us cooking and having to drive...

We particularly enjoyed the pani puri which we introduced to some of the group for the first time. The other food was also delicious and the waiter was very friendly and helpful.

We got to this place by coincidence arriving from Amsterdam for a short visit to Belfast. Really good Indian food, loved it!

The BEST butter chicken I have ever had😋😋😋😋😋😋 The service was excellent, friendly and fast. One of the few restaurants open in the area on a Sunday.

Went here tonight for the 2 course early bird for £7.95 before 6pm and wasn't disappointed. Small but lovely wee modern restaurant as only opened in June. Waiter was very pleasant, helpful & friendly and willing to have a chat. The 2 course early bird...

The best Indian in belfast - wouldn’t go anywhere else! So good to find somewhere with authentic South Indian food choices

Service was attentive and the food was delicious! You could bring your own alcohol which was a plus and the people were kind and friendly.

Just visited this restaurant for the first time and can honestly say it is the best Indian I have had in Belfast. (Being of Indian descent, I have made my way round most of the Indian restaurants in the greater Belfast region). The food is...

This place is excellent, we have visited many times and the food, service and staff are always of the highest standard. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.

It was our first visit and we tried South Indian cuisine, I will definitely recommend going to this restaurant if you want to have the authentic taste of Indian food. We also ordered Samosa chaat and chicken tikka, it had perfect spice level. Would love...

We ordered samsosa chat, chilli chicken & chicken tikka for starters and they were excellent. Chilli chicken was bit spicy for my daughter but perfect for me. Samosa chat was too good. Ordered Garlic Naan & chicken curry for main and Peshawari Naan as kind...

Delicious Indian cuisine. Fresh and flavoursome. Friendly family run, small but warm and cosy. Exceptional value for money and BYOD. Highly recommend for a sit down meal.

We absolutely loved our meal here, the Gobi Manchurian was amazing and loved the Dosa, as well as the food being outstanding the staff was wonderful from the chefs to the waiting staff every one of them was so friendly. Great staff, great food, defiantly...

Starters especially were great. Gobi Manchurian starter was really good, and tandoori mixed grill was great. Lovely staff. Thank you for the meal!!!

Amazing service, incredible food and just the best people here!!! Had Pani Puri after ages, and it was unbelievable. Loved the Gobi Manchurian too!

Absolutely delicious food and a beautiful dining room. I ordered samosas and the chicken Tikka; both were extremely worth it. Add in that the dining area was classy and clean and you've got an easy decision for a 5-star review from me.

Honestly the best Indian in Belfast. A lovely family restaurant with affordable prices and amazing food. Bring your own too!

I come here about once a month as I love it so much. The most fresh and authentic food I have had since working in India! The service is great too. I highly recommend their dhal, pani puri and of course, their masala dosa!

Had a takeaway based on the reviews here. Yes it's very good and full appreciation to the chef there as they are someone with great talent ! Thank you. I'll definitely return for takeaway but I would love to see these guys open a proper...

A lot of options not always found in Indian restaurants I had a dosa, which was a revelation - a type of pancake which paired beautifully with accoutrements. Starters were also very tasty, and we had interesting lime juice based drinks. Very refined flavours in...

Ghee masala dosa and masala tea are phenomenal !! The most authentic South Indian restaurant in Belfast. Excellent service too!

Went for my brother's birthday with the family, the food was really good, just the right amount of spice and the meats were cooked to perfection. It's a family run business and the atmosphere was really relaxed and great for anyone with kids, will definitely...

I visited with my friends yesterday. The food was awesome authentic Indian food not be missed if you visit Belfast. Must try dosa. The service was above and beyond made me feel like I'm home away from home❤️. Will be back definitely.

Incredible food with attentive and lovely staff who are passionate about the food being served. Will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu. Extremely vegan friendly.

Incredible quality every visit. I ordered the lamb dosa with the samosa chaat, my partner ordered the cheese and chilli dosa. Special mention for masala dosa too. I can't recommend this hidden gem strongly enough just remember to bring some cash as tips may not...

Such an authentic non fussy restaurant with wonderful service and a wide menu including excellent south India food. Worth the walk out of town. Dosas in particular are excellent!

Whilst it may look like just a take-away from the outside, the inside is nicely furnished. It's small, cosy and relaxing. Very helpful & friendly staff. Food good & plenty. Waitress service was very good. She went out of her way to ensure i did...

Lovely Dosa and Biryani. All staff there are lovely. Without doubt my favourite Indian restaurant in Ireland, strongly recommend!!

Lovely people, lovely south Indian food, I adore this place! The chicken dosa and mango lassi. I love this restaurant!

Hidden gem!! Does not look like much from the outside, however after hearing about from friends I thought I'd give it a try! Amazing friendly service ,so welcoming. Got a mixture of starters all amazing and a jalfrezi was so fresh and tasty. Peshwari naan...

This is fantastic. It looks nothing special but the food and service are top quality. The food is a authentic, home-cooked delight! The range for vegetarians is really good. The staff are lovely. Definitely would recommend as a hidden gem!

By far the nicest Indian I’ve ever had. Had both take away and sat inside and both experiences were just a pleasant. The staff are beyond kind and welcoming and the food is out of this world. I recommend the jalfrezi and butter chicken but...

Having just moved home from Nottingham I was so excited to find an Indian restaurant that sold Dosa. Safe to say I wasn't disappointed! Not only is the food delicious, the friendly family atmosphere made for a lovely evening. Looking forward to my next visit!

Yummy food and good ambiance.lovely people. We are in Belfast for three days and eating Indian food here...finding authentic taste of masala Dosa.vegetable rice is really tasty...eating samosa chat that is also yummy ...and butter paneer masala is ok okay...all breads are good.

Me and the Mrs went for what we believe the only South Indian we know of. And by far the best South Indian in Northern Ireland. The older gentleman an amazing, welcoming guy. Will definitely be back. 5 stars

We stopped at this place for dinner after our day trip in Belfast. They had a table ready and free parking was available on the adjoining street. The lady who runs the place came over with her suggestion for a Indian style curry when she...

We went for a family meal. The service was lovely and food wonderful. We had Gobi manchurian, chilli chicken, pani puri and dosa. The food was really good.

Tasty South Indian food in Belfast. Visiting Belfast as tourist. It is pleasure to find authentic Indian food cook by the Indian cook. Tasty North Indian a d South Indian food. Highly recommended.

Always fantastic service and food, The early bird special from 5pm is definitely worth it. Karim is an absolute gentleman too.

Fab fab fab my Partner is vegan and they couldn’t be more helpful for us . highly rated restaurant ....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 will be back very soon.

Went to bites of India on recommendation from a friend and glad I did. Indian is a fave of mine. Staff were very helpful and guided me with regards to the menu. They gave me a starter on the house gobi manchurian (battered cauliflower in...

We have been here a few times prior to lockdown and have been using the takeaway service since then. The reason being that Salim does the most outstanding Indian food this side of Delhi!! He does all the usual menu to standards above and beyond...

We've been going here regularly for a couple years and I'm finally writing a review. Obviously we like it! The only place we know of to get street food classics like dosa, idli and upma. Get yourself on the WhatsApp group to be informed about...

21 mile round trip to pick up food from this restaurant and what a treat again! Gobi Manchurian, never tried it but thought we'd give it a go...amazing cauliflower dish. Chilli Paneer, a mellow cheesy, garlic and spicy hit. Lamb Rada, the best of the...

I drive a taxi in Belfast and get plenty of feedback from my passengers on restaurants and takeaways. I've passed this wee takeaway with a number of passengers who live in the area and been impressed with their comments. We tried their menu about 5...

I am writing to the restaurant rather than leave a review here because of the times we are in - was very disappointed in our meal

Finally got around to get a takeaway from this restaurant I heard so many good reports from. Food absolutely delicious !! We had two vegetarian dishes one of them my first Dosa. Already dreaming about the next one :) Lovely food plenty to chose from...

Wow. Just wow. That was one culinary experience. From start to finish, flawless. The cosy ambience, the bring your own, the timely service, the tantalising dishes. Incredible. Can’t fault it. You must come to this hidden gem if you’re in Belfast. PS take notes on...

You could easily walk past the restaurant and not notice it - I have grown up in Belfast and am so annoyed I've only just found this place! The food is by far the best Indian food I've had! The gobi manchurian, paani poori, palak...

I was craving for authentic street Indian food and this place made that come true. Amazing food and taste. Hats off to the chef.. For bringing the Indian taste over here. Amazing worth giving it shot and won't be disappointed at all.. We tried gobi...

The food was incredible!!!!! We asked for a surprise for the main and they made the spice level perfect. Dosa was incredible too. Very attentive staff also and we were very pleasantly surprised with the tiny bill! Would have paid double for that quality!

Ordered a large takeaway for a family gathering. Every meal was delicious. I can’t recommend highly enough.

This small restaurant in the heart of Belfast is easy to just walk past it, but do step in and enjoy the best Indian food in Belfast at amazing prices! They even have mango lassi and dosas which is something we had never been able...

Small place and easy to ignore if you just walk by, but do go in. Staff are polite, food is probably the best Indian I’ve ever had. All staff wore masks and face shields as an extra bonus! Will definitely come back.

Delicious Indian cuisine, which you can order on line and which reliably arrives when you you choose. I can highly recommend their Balti, Madras and Biriyani -all authentic and very tasty.

Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough. Incredible food. Opportunity to try foods from north and south India. Amazing.

Amazing early bird offer! We loved everything we ate at this hidden gem on Ravenhill Road. I had the vegetable samosa to start and vegetable jalfrezi with rice and garlic naan as my main dish. Everything was so tasty and fresh-we will definitely be back....

Second time having a take away from here, consistent and delicious food - reasonably priced. I believe its BYOB so will have to dine in some evening with a bottle of my fav red....

Speedy, cheap, tasty comfort food and boy did it hit the spot! Perfect for something quick before going out.

After hearing good reviews of Bites of India and as a lover of Indian food I simply had to go , I was not disappointed , most ethnic restaurants do not stay true to the foods eaten in their own country they cater for our...

It was an unexpected dinner for us at Bites of India . We were looking for something different closer to home .We were not disappointed and we will highly recommend this restaurant for our friends . It was affordable and very tasty meal , we...

We were excited to hear there was a good South Indian restaurant serving Dosa in Belfast and our first trip didn’t let us down. The staff were super friendly and genuinely welcoming. We tried the Paani Pouri and Masala Chat for starters and they were...

I order from here regularly as take away but dined in for the first time tonight - even better!! Delicious food and brilliant service including it being BYOB. I recommend to everyone and have heard great feedback from them also. Definitely will be back.

Great family here. Large group of us were catered for perfectly. Service very friendly. Food fantastic- promptly served even though we were a large party. May look like a small takeaway, but well worth a visit for the gorgeous food. Highly recommended to try!!

Got a carry out from here. The restaurant was busy and unfortunately I hadn’t phoned ahead with my order which resulted in a longer wait. However the wait was worth it. The Food was very great. I would highly recommend but if wanting a take...

After eating 2 days of Christmas Dinner, was time for a curry. Thought I'd try somewhere different. Heard so many different people talking about this place and seriously they was all correct. The menu is extremely extensive. So many vegetarian options. My wife and I...

I was wondering around in this unfamiliar (to me) part of Belfast and to be honest there did not seem to be a lot of choice of places to eat. From the outside this looks just like a takeaway with a few tables added in....

We have recently discovered Bites of India, and will definitely be back regularly in future. The food is delicious, with a varied menu. It's all very reasonably priced, especially the early bird menu. It's BYO which is also very handy. The staff are really helpful...

We attended on the recommendation of a family member and were not disappointed. The service was friendly and efficient, promptly bringing wine glasses to our table on arrival as we had brought our own wine. The food was delicious and I personally found the portions...

I ordered a take away and some of the dishes were not what I expected, firstly I wanted chicken tikka starter boneless.. But I got the chicken leg! The vegetables in the vegaterian dish were just like a bag or frozen veg.. Sweetcorn, carrot and...

Best Indian food I have had in Northern Ireland and probably the best sevice I have had in Northern Ireland. I was very impressed that the owner /chef came out on a busy Sturday night io enquire if we had all enjoyed our meal. We...

As I knew I would be passing this place enroute home, I phoned them and placed my order and collected it. Quick service and good food at reasonable prices. I’ve used this place before and will use it again.

Fantastic food very clean would recommend it to friends could do with candles on tables To make a better atmosphere

Small street type restaurant with surprisingly good food If you fancy a bite of India this is the place to go

Very good Indian food. Quite authentic. Food arrived quickly. Overall, very good service and quite friendly staff.

First time eating here, the food is authentic & tasty. Staff are friendly and very hard working. Definitely would recommend!

Loved the quality, quantity and specially the taste of each and every dish we ordered. We visited twice on subsequent days just because of taste of the food and hospitality of the restaurant owner. Must visited place, highly recommended. Just go and order anything, I...

I've been to India a lot with work and I have yet to have a really good curry in Belfast. It's not a fancy establishment but this has to be up there as one of the best curries I have had. The naan breads were...

I have yet to try a dish I don’t love from here - the paneer is perfect and the gobi Manchurian is amazing, really unusual and so tasty, it’s a side dish but I could easily have it as my main course.

Got takeout from here last night. Delivered well within time frame stated on phone and every dish we had to share among friends was super tasty. Definitely found my go to when I don’t feel like cooking!

Nice taste felt satisfied and happy with the food and nice environment to sit and spend time with friends

I don't normally leave reviews, but this is without question the best Indian cuisine I have tasted in my life. Service was excellent, staff are friendly and the food cannot be faulted. 10/10 they have gained a customer for life!
