Lite Bites in Newport

Beautiful interior, great food and excellent service!

Lovely food & great service, would highly recommend and we will be going back! 😊 The atmosphere was a little flat as we were the only ones there but that couldn’t be helped due to the fallout from COVID.

My partner and I chose this takeaway for it's high star rating. Unfortunately, we were both disappointed and unimpressed with our meals. Mine went in the bin. Mushroom rice was overdone and burnt in places. I can only describe the butter chicken as disgusting. Tikka chicken slices covered in sickly sauce with lumps of onion thrown on top. Waste of money.

Went as a couple on valentines day, and when we arrived we were the only people in the restaurant (and had a booking) however the waitress directed us to sit on a sofa before we could go to our table, this was just an indicator of how the night was going to go... I'll start with the positives, the food was hot and tasty, and there was a good selection of vegetarian options, I definitely suggest the paneer chilli masala! My vegetable vindaloo was not spicy at all however, which was disappointing. Not the best indian food I have ever eaten, but not the worst... Unfortunately the negatives far outweighed the positives. The service was slow and odd, to say the least. The waitress took our drinks order then proceeded to go and wrap cutlery instead of fetching the drinks, eventually they arrived, followed by our popadoms. Our dirty plates from the popadoms were left with us whilst we ate our starters. A long wait later our main courses arrived. Once we had nearly finished the main courses, the smoke alarm went off. No apologies from any of the staff, and no indication that it was going to be turned off. We asked for the bill, and the only other table asked for their food to takeaway, as there was no indication the deafening noise was going to end. We were then informed there was no card machine, so I had to sit listening to the smoke alarm for ten minutes whilst my partner found a cash point. A little advance warning if this would go a long way! As we walked round to the taxi rank we could still hear the alarm sounding. Overall a weird experience, made worse by the constant alarms and chirping from the bar area, and the deafening smoke alarm at the end! A lack of music in a completely empty restaurant makes for a very uncomfortable experience. If this hadnt been chosen and booked as a valentines treat by my partner I doubt I would have visited, and I cant say that I will visit again, as the food quality did not outweigh the issues listed above.

We traveled here and chose this restaurant based on the reviews. The food was delivered a bit late, but the owner explained that since the restaurant was full, they had to serve both dine-in customers and takeout orders, making them especially busy. However, the food was delicious and well worth the wait.
