Amazing briyani! Ordered the desi bites special chicken briyani bucket, and the flavors are amazing! Spicy definitely hits decently hard so be aware! I love spicy food. Pani puri was really nice too! Would come back here to tey more on the menu! Amazing prices too! $30 for 6 portion for me

Very disappointing experience.
The restaurant is located inside an Indian grocery store with a small seating area and a few tables. Unfortunately, the food quality did not meet expectations.
We ordered Methi Paneer, which was runny and unexpectedly sweet. The naans were not cooked or heated properly. The kebabs took about 40 minutes, and we were later informed that the machine was not working, causing further delay.
Overall, the food quality and service were both unsatisfactory and pathetic.

I ordered mutton haleem for takeout on 2/27 at 5:45 PM. I paid $15, but there were no mutton pieces at all. It tasted like plain dal, not haleem. I’ve never seen haleem like this before. Definitely not worth the price. Desi Bites, you are losing customers.

Loved the aloo tikka chat and the samosas! The waitress was very sweet and gave us fried onions in chickpea flour while we waited. Not pictured is my friends butter chicken, which was superb! The portions are large so we’ll have leftovers for a few days ♥️

I was driving around looking for places to visit. New to the area. Saw this place and had to venture in. This place is huge grocery like store with such a variety of all things Indian. I walked up and down each aisle to have a look at everything they had. Some things were familiar to me but there were plenty of new things to see. Part of it is Desi bites. This is a small cafeteria like area where you can get authentic Indian foods and desserts. I tried a few of the desserts in the glass case. I forgot that they like to submerge the desserts in flavored syrup. I found the texture quite different and way too sweet for my liking. Next time I will have to try some of the food dishes.

It’s not even worth one star but it had to give it just to write the review. We are a group of friends who used to every week to eat pulaos. We usually take Dum ka goat pulao or Goat ghee roast Pulao or Dum ka chicken pulao. Every time there is some or the other issue. All the time there’s hair in the food check carefully while eating as sometime it’s a long hair strand and sometimes it’s very small. If it’s one time that can be understood and even after informing them what’s wrong it is still the same there’s no change. And they give very few pieces every other week we go they just reduce the quantity. It’s not worth spending money and they are not hygienic at all. So dead

Really disappointed with my order today. I have ordered from Desi Bites many times and it has never been like this. I ordered the Methi Paneer, Malai Kofta, and garlic naan. The methi paneer had no spinach and was very bland. Malai kofta, bland. The garlic naan was so bland and inedible that I didn’t even finish eating it.
Due to my own health issues, I ordered delivery through their platform via Uber Eats. I have repeatedly called Desi Bites before reporting this issue with no answer. Finally reached out to Uber Eats and their return policy is terrible. They ‘’made an exception” for me but I had to get upset before they would refund anything.
If you are ordering delivery, I would spend your $60 elsewhere.

We visited Desi Bites in Urbandale, Iowa, an amazing Indian eatery that offers a wonderful mix of North and South Indian dishes, along with delicious Indo-Chinese options. The flavors are incredible, and the variety of choices, including vegetarian options, means there’s something for everyone.
Oh my, Every dish we tried was packed with authenticity and taste. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere made us feel right at home. Highly recommend it to anyone craving a flavorful, satisfying meal!

Really good food. Took my family of four for lunch and got the family biryani meal, it comes in a bucket, we had so much food, enough for another meal. Every bite so flavorful. The staff was super nice and friendly. Will definitely visit again!
