Desi Bites 8542 West 133rd Street, Overland Park, KS 66213

"Pros: (1) Varied menu options (2) Flavorful food Cons: (1) Little seating area (2) Super busy (and I mean super busy) - id have felt a bit awkward eating here, if we didn’t eat with a couple people familiar with this restaurant (3) Slow service - 4 of us ordered at the same time, and 3 got food within 25 minutes. The fourth took about 45 minutes, which was a curry dish like one of the other’s (4) The chicken had gristles and bones in it sometimes (apparently chicken with bones in it is common one some dishes, but isn’t labeled as such for those dishes) Opinion: (1) I sorta feel like 3 stars might be appropriate - the good is excellent. But seems unlikely everything will be good"

"As a nearly daily patron for the past two years, I've sampled nearly every dish on the menu. However, my go-to orders now are the lamb biryani and majestic. Yet, consistency remains an issue; while some batches boast tender, flavorful meat, others leave much to be desired, with chewiness becoming an occasional disappointment. Despite this, my visits have shifted primarily to enjoying tea, though even this experience varies in quality. Nevertheless, the atmosphere of the place keeps drawing me back—it's become a staple for meeting friends, despite the fluctuations in food quality."

"Don’t be fooled of negative reviews and the low overall star rating of this place. The mysore masala dosa was a little soggy due to takeout, but it was still good. The idli-vada was delicious, and so did the Desi Bites chicken biryani (spicy version). The egg bonda was alright. The chutneys and the sambar were pretty good. I noticed that there’s a grocery store, which was pretty neat. The kiosks allow you to order and pick up your order without waiting in line, which is convenient. Give this place a try, your taste buds will thank you for the authenticity."

"Delicious South Indian food. Quick service. Good for all types of crowd. Self service. Hot tea and coffee, has Chinese, Indian, south india a lot of dessert options. Staff is very friendly. They pack food in a very nice way. Hygienic washrooms too. Tons of parking available. You can do grocery shopping as well before or after eating"

""I recently dined at Desi Bites and ordered their noodles. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing as the noodles tasted really bad. The flavor and quality were subpar, and it didn't meet my expectations. While the restaurant had a nice ambiance, the food left much to be desired. I hope they can improve the taste and quality of their dishes in the future.""
