"Even devout carnivores won’t miss the meat at this South Indian sanctuary of vegetarian fare. Centered around luscious curries based on coconut and cashews, tamarind and tomatoes, legumes and everything from mushrooms and eggplant to okra and artichokes, the menu extends to some 20 different types of dosa and snacks like medhu vadai (lentil doughnuts) and idli (steamed rice-and-lentil cakes) — plus soups, chaats, and breads galore." - Ruth Tobias

Newly opened three weeks ago - the space used to be Madras Cafe. Their food is excellent! We mostly tried the South Indian foods and everything was pretty spot on. You order up front and get your food when they call you up, and the rest is self serve. Brilliant! They have a nice setup where you can pack up your leftovers yourself and put it all in containers and bags. Highly recommend (as an Indian American who knows her food)!

I visited this place during my recent Denver trip!! The place is very decent, nice ambience and their food quality is really good!! The gutti vankaya biryani was my favorite item. Not to forget, the karam dosa was equally favorite too. I tried the small onion samosas, malai kofta with butter naan, punugulu…. and all these items are really fresh, tasty and amazing. Would love to visit this place again when i am in denver…. Not to forget, I ended my meal with chai and its just like the same irani chai that i had in hyderabad…. Highly recommended!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

New Authentic Indian flavors in Aurora. Must try items: Biryani, Naan & Curry., Kababs, Irani Chai. Quick service, great ambience with reasonable prices.

New ownership and the dosa was actually crispier and less oily. They also added a new peanut chutney that was delicious to the array of typical items like sambar and coconut chutney. They reintroduced their bisibheli and it was yummy. And now, they have a nonveg menu too. As usual it's run down inside and could use some tlc, but I'm hoping the new owner will invest in that. Still worth visiting for the authentic dosas.

Recently been to this place and I can say they serve the best dum/boneless chicken biryani. Their appetizer's Dragon Chicken, Majestic Chicken and DB style are a must try. They also have wide variety of kebab’s.

We ordered Chicken Afghani kebab , Chicken hakka noodles , Chicken schezwan fried rice and Mango Lassi. Taste and Quantity both were great. Noodles will remind you of india street food . Kebab was so tender and flavorful. I would definitely be a regular visitor.

Friendly staff and the Mysore bonda was very good but the chutney was very watery and hardly had any flavor. Also Desi bites special chicken biryani was the worst i have ever had. It was so dry rice was undercooked and the chicken is rubbery and next day it started to stink. I have had so many biryani but never this kind. But apparently it is dry because it is pan fried. I cant speak for other items but special biryani and the flavored rice comes as a side for curries are not good. This is the first and last time i am ordering from here.

I recently dined at Desi Bites and loved their Tandoori Chicken! With each bite, I felt as though I had journeyed back to the vibrant streets of India. It's a must-try for anyone looking for authentic Indian flavors

Great food!! The service was fast and accommodating because I changed my order to to-go in the middle of it because I had to run for a meeting last-minute. Also, the best Paan you can find for sale in Colorado. I really hope this place lasts forever because there's just no other place that I know of to get Paan this delicious :D

Unusual fast food indian cafe. You order at the counter and they call you to pick up when ready. Food is very good. I had the dosa and my wife had poori with egg curry. Both were excellent. The egg cuury came in a to go container. There is a station which has utensuls, napkins, to go containers, plastic bags, water, etc. You can get a cover for your to go container at the station

This is our 2nd time returning to Desi Bites. This time for Father's Day. The service was quick and our food was fresh and hot! We order chicken and onion pakoras plus samosas. The pakoras were hot and very tasty. With a party of 6, the food was plentiful! Masala dosas, chicken kabobs, chicken biriyani and cashew chickebln curry! The vegetarians were very satisfied and the chicken lovers found the meat juicy and moist. We love the restaurant feel without the big wait! Their service and food has gotten much better since our last visit! We'll definitely keep coming back...

It took forever for my food to come out. I ordered the Dal Makhani. My partner who came with me ordered chicken biryani and his came out automatically. 10 people were served before I was, and they ordered after me. Despite that, food was great.

Previously called Madras Cafe, this has been one of our go-to places. They recently changed their name to Desi Bites and also added Non Vegetarian items to their menu. The last time I visited this restaurant, we ordered a variety of dosas and I ordered Idlis. I have loved Idlis, Sambhar and Coconut Chutney since my childhood in India so I know a thing or two about how good this simple dish can be. Sadly, Desi Bites was disappointing in this regard. The Idlis were rubbery - as if they had been sitting around for a while. The Sambhar that all 4 of us had with our Idlis and dosas looked and tasted like they had added water to it. The Coconut Chutney was forgettable - not even sure there was ANY coconut in it! A real disappointment. We always have frozen Idlis, Sambhar and Coconut Chutney in our freezer at home and they tasted a LOT better than what Desi Bites is serving. I LOVE Idlis and Sambhar and Coconut Chutney ... but now I am very hesitant to order these at Desi Bites - when what is in our freezer is so much better. I hope the Desi Bites management reads this and takes quality-improvement steps. Meanwhile, don't expect top quality when it comes to these items at Desi Bites.
