Amazing Indian food in Ellisville. It has become my Go to spot in ballwin/chesterfield area. The food is really good and i highly recommend the special Hyderabadi biryani. This ambience of the place is alright and service is good but the food for sure is Amazing. I highly recommend for you to give this place a try you won’t be disappointed.
Daily specials are really nice. Love the butter chicken and the wings have a great texture and flavor. Tried the Biryani today and also solid. Maybe my favorite Indian place in STL area right now?
We absolutely loved the food! Hands down the best Chicken Tikka Masala and Biryani we've ever had. The breakfast items are the best way to start your day! The service was amazing and the vegetarian options are by far the best on the menu, and I'm not even vegetarian🤣 10/10 Would recommend!
Great spot for chai lovers and desi food enthusiasts! Loved the atmosphere and the cozy ambience — it’s a perfect place to unwind. Being a fan of Desi Bites from Kansas City, I was pleasantly surprised to find the same authentic chai taste here in Ballwin. Tried the Biriyani of the Day — Gongura Mutton Biriyani — flavorful, aromatic, and perfectly cooked. It’s a newly opened spot and definitely off to a great start. Wishing the team all the best — looking forward to coming back again!
Had a great experience dining here. I tried the momos and mutton dum biryani, and both were really delicious. Even though the place was quite busy, the service was quick and well managed. The hospitality was warm, and the ambience made the overall experience even better.
Located just beside the Indian grocery store & with convenient parking. Dine In - They have a huge menu to chose from, so would recommend to be prepared in advance what you are in mood of eating. All their curries, biryanis, pulao and other snacks are DELICIOUS. Also their special dessert (peach delight) is a must try. We are a fan of their indo-Chinese dishes. They also do adjust the spice level well. They do have display monitors displaying your name & approx wait time which is convenient. Only downside at this moment we felt is they are slow and average wait times will be ~30mints. Take out orders - they do have an app you can order from. As well they have a kiosk in the store itself. They run daily offers on kebabs, pulaos, biryanis (typically 2 items for $20). Overall, good pricing & quantity. They are still very new, so hopefully the service speed will improve!
Had a wonderful experience at Desi Bites. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The Pav Bhaji was delicious, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back.
Highly Recommended! Had a wonderful dining experience at Desi Bites. The food was incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. What made it even better was the fantastic hospitality—the staff genuinely cares about their guests. Will definitely be coming back!
This was incredibly good while being very reasonably priced. I ate every last grain of the biryani. I don't even know what the bread is, but it was soft and fresh. I'll definitely be going back.
New casual Indian restaurant recommended by a friend. We ordered the tandoori chicken wings, vegetables biryani and gobi manchurian. All the dishes were delicious and tasty. It appears that they have a large to -go order clients. Very clean establishment with super friendly staff.
