With locations in Clayton and Westminster, this place has made a name for itself with delicious dishes that capture the spirit of Indian street food and traditional curries. Our menu is extensive, which can be a bit overwhelming, so we've put together a list of the top 5 must-try dishes. Get ready for some amazing flavours that will take you right to the streets of India.
1. Samosa + Tikki Chaat
You can't go wrong with this combo. Picture a crispy fried samosa paired with a spiced potato tikki. Top it off with a mix of chutneys—sweet, tangy, and spicy—along with creamy yogurt, crunchy sev (thin chickpea noodles), and fresh cilantro. This dish at Desi Bites isn't just a meal; it's an experience. Every bite is a fun mix of textures and flavours that will definitely excite your taste buds. It's a classic street food that gives you a burst of flavour and energy.
2. Butter Chicken
You can't really say you've explored Indian food without trying Butter Chicken, and Desi Bites does it wonderfully. We serve tender pieces of tandoor-cooked chicken in a rich tomato gravy with spices and a bit of cream. It's both comforting and indulgent, balancing sweetness, tanginess, and just the right amount of spice. The creamy gravy pairs perfectly with naan or basmati rice. It's a dish that's always tasty and satisfying, showing off the skill of Indian cooking.
3. Goat Curry
If you want something with a stronger flavour, definitely order the Goat Curry. It's slow-cooked until super tender, letting the meat soak up the deep flavours from a traditional spice mix. Rather than being overly spicy, it's filled with aroma and rich taste. The slow cooking makes the goat fall-off-the-bone tender and the gravy thick with flavour. Pair it with some fluffy rice or warm roti, and you'll really get a taste of authentic Indian cooking.
4. Garam Gulab Jamun with Ice Cream
After all those savoury dishes, you need a sweet treat to finish up. Try the Garam Gulab Jamun with Ice Cream at Desi Bites. These milk-based dumplings are deep-fried and soaked in a sweet syrup flavoured with cardamom and rosewater. Served warm alongside ice cream, it creates a fantastic contrast. The warm dumplings soak up the syrup and melt in your mouth, while the ice cream gives a refreshing touch. It's a classic Indian dessert made even better with the addition of ice cream.
5. Amritsari Kulcha
Hailing from Amritsar in Punjab, the Amritsari Kulcha is a dish you can't miss. This flaky flatbread is stuffed with spiced potatoes and baked in a tandoor until crispy. Desi Bites nails it with its version. The crispy outside gives way to a soft, tasty inside packed with spices. Often enjoyed with chana masala (chickpea curry) and some tangy chutney, it's a full meal that represents North Indian cooking perfectly.
