Food and service was great! Water glass was never below half way! We slid in with no reservation on New Year's Eve, beat the crowd. Definitely going back!

The service here was really great and I did love the ambiance. The food was good, but it could have been just a tad more flavorful. Overall, I enjoyed my experience.

Dinner service starts off slow but staff ahead really nice with quick service. The food was really good, they definitely do not skimp on the proteins (chicken and lamb).

My family and I absolutely LOVE Indian food! So when on vacation in Virginia Beach we searched for a place that could satisfy our craving and Masala Bites popped up on google. Based on all of the highly recommended reviews, we decided to give them a try.Surprisingly, the restaurant was packed for it being a weekday. They had a large party too so I think that didn't really help with the wait times. We were seated right away but after that the service really went downhill. The waitress took a while to come by and get our order, after that she really didn't check in on us at all.It's really the food that saved them from getting a lower rating! My husband and I got their Pavbhaji Spiced Samosa for appetizer and their Chicken Curry with Garlic Naan for our main dish. Everything was delicious! The curry was a tad bit spicy but we did order it medium, so if you like a lot of spice then get it that way! Other than that I'm sure mild would have sufficed. Their samosas were perfectly seasoned and the filling was just the right amount. The garlic naan was the perfect pairing with their curry dish also.The only downside was that the service wasn't very good and the food took quite a while to come out. But I enjoyed the food! Hopefully they can increase their staff so customers aren't waiting for long periods of time. 3 stars for delicious Indian food!

My stepson's birthday was coming up, and when he said he wanted Indian, I knew Masala Bites would be the perfect spot! It's fancy inside and they always give great service! I think the portion is worth the price. They have the best Indian food around in my opinion. 10/10 They have a lot of wine to choose from

Absolutely delicious! This was a takeout order so my review is based solely on the food. Everything was quite good and flavorful. They did well making the dishes at the spice level I preferred. The place is pricey though.

The best Indian I've had in a long time. There aren't many Indian restaurants around, this one is worth checking out. Onion bhaji was a big hit with my dining partner. Samosa hit the spot (not the best I've had but solidly good).The okra dish (Amchuri Bhindi Masala ) was new for me and so tasty. I ordered it Spicy and it was perfect! Like a spicy stir fry rather than a wet curry. Great the next day too. Garlic naan buttery and fresh, Menu had several seafood options as well. We tried curry with crab for the first time also. Crab held up well but flavor was over powered (as expected) by the very creamy tomatoes curry. It was so rich and creamy. Service was attentive and warm. Atmosphere was more family to fine dining. Overall great experience. On the expensive side but we did have leftovers for 2 days!
