Desi Bites - Omaha

I was stuck at work one evening while my husband and the entire family went out to eat at Desi Bites. My husband was sweet to bring me dinner at work though! He brought me the veg Manchurian noodles because I love IndoChinese. I don't know what I expected from this dish, but it wasn't this, and I was very pleasantly surprised!The noodles and Manchurian curry (for a lack of a better word) came in separate compartments of a takeout container. The noodles on their own very actually very tasty! It wasn't super heavily seasoned, but had some vegetables and good flavor. The Manchurian was a heavy sauce with Manchurian kofta/dumplings. I did get it on the spicier side and it definitely delivered! This was packed with flavor and spice and everything nice. The sauce was thick and the dumplings were perfect - they were dense, but also soft. I mixed it with the noodles and honestly it was a very satisfying dinner! Probably not a pick if you struggle with heartburn as it has quite a bit of oil and spice, but I would definitely get this dish again. The portion was definitely enough for dinner for me and I finished the whole thing quickly!

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I love that I can just easily place a to go order and it's always right. I also love how they package their to go orders it just adds to the food it's so good! I love their butter chicken!

Awesome food I love to go grocery shopping at the Indian market next door I recommend spice level of 3-4 if you like it hot 1-2 for mild Desi bites is a hidden gem you have to try this establishment I always hit Desi bites after getting my eyebrows threaded at Santhis brows next door...

The food here was soooo delicious which is why writing this review is breaking my heart. I really wanted to become a regular here, but I will never return to this place. I gave this restaurant two tries, and the service failed me both times. Staff was very unfriendly both times I went. The first time I went, I noticed people having trouble hearing the cashier. When I asked her to repeat something, she had attitude. I ordered the daily special and was charged the regular price anyways. I thought the total seemed a bit high, but I didn't realize until I got home because I had ordered entrees and appetizers for 6 people. The second time I went, I decided to use the online ordering to avoid the issue I experienced my first time. I placed my order, got a notification that it was ready, and went inside to pick it up. There were two cashiers and one was talking to another customer while the other was just standing there. I was going to ask about my order when I realized the online orders were sitting on the display case. As soon as I went over to find mine, both cashiers immediately came up to me asking my name. I tell them as I'm looking at the bag with my full name on it and they both deny I even placed an order. I politely point out that my name is on the bag and then they hand it to me without another word. While this isn't the worst service ever, it was definitely bad enough to rub me the wrong way. The service must be the price to pay for their food, but there are too many wonderful Indian restaurants in Omaha for me to settle at this one.

I've been there twice and had great food both times. The highlights:garlic naanchick tikka tandooricashew curry chickenI had the chicken 65 dosa and the chicken 65 part was great but I wasn't sold on the dosa sauces. I also tried the galibu and wasn't a huge fan

The Chicken 65 dosa was wonderfully spicy to my preferences. The sides to dip the dosa into was a great journey of flavors. Wow

If you are open minded and would love try typical Indian street food this place is for you. They offer variety of options from curry to indoChinese and others. Love it!

The flies that come in the store because they opened the door bite and the lady who takes my order can't help to smear at people. It was a very weird experience.

We ordered veg biriyani with mild spice level. But I don't know what they actually did! May be they misplaced with some other orders. It was so hot that we had to throw the food. The biriyani barely had any vegetables in it. We reported this next week in the restaurant but they did not ever bother to mention a single apologize , just told us that we will let them know. We take out food often from them. We did not expect this kind of unprofessional behavior from them. Really disappointed!!!

When I went with a friend to try this place I really did not like it. It is a "fast casual" place where the menu is up above the counter and you just go up and order and they bring it out to serve you. When I perused the menu online I was impressed with its variety, but for a fast casual place, the prices were high. I ordered the Chicken Korma, my friend ordered one of the spicy fried chicken dishes and a veggie type of Massala. The woman who took our order messed it up my friend's order and when we went up to tell her she got very defensive until she realized she had made the mistake-that really bothered me because, as a former waitress, if you want customers to come back, you don't deal with your order mixup by being rude. She did not even apologize for the snafu.Back to the food, my Chicken Korma was inedible. It was mostly sauce with a few pieces of dark meat that made me think that they boiled the chicken and did not even bother to de bone it Honestly, I was so grossed out that I could not eat it. Other places where I have had it was served with nicely cut pieces of WHITE MEAT, which is delicious and dark meat grosses me out. It seemed that every chicken dish I saw was made with dark meat. My friend's Fried Chicken dish looked tasty, even though it was made with dark meat. Another annoying thing about the place was that you get your own crappy plastic silverware and a little machine where you get ice-water, it was a bit complicated and it was hard to turn off the water. They also gave you tiny cups to use, which I found to look cheap and stingy. They also serve lamb and goat dishes, no seafood.
