Desi Bites Cafe (Hicksville) — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

Mixed Reviews. I and my family members ordered food from here on a few different occasions and some of the items were good and some seemed like they came out of the freezer and or made at an earlier time. Let's start with the good!!!

Chole kulche were good. Ordered a few times. Dahi bhalla were horrible. The bhallas seemed like they were either store bought or made ahead of time and then thawed out to serve as they received the order. The dahi seemed less of a dahi and more like the consistency of Lassi. To be honest I've had better tasting bhalla's out of a Box. Tikki don't get me started on that I've had tikki's from quite a few places and I can honestly say the first time it was decent and then the second time we ordered it was undercooked and had a very hard texture in the middle. So we gave them another chance and tried the tawa tikki and it was again had seemed either made earlier then frozen and thawed then heated in the microwave and threw it on the tawa for crispiness another thing about it is that when you have a to go order you don't smother is with the Lassi like dahi and not give the sweet sauce. So will definitely not recommend you...

DONT GO. I wish I could give zero stars. We came here first time.

1. We got a sandwich and we found food sticker inside the sandwich?! Attached is photos and we couldnt believe our eyes. And even after all this they gave us NO REFUND for sandwich WITH PLASTICSor wasn't even fazed by it. Just disgusting service. Eating at a street on India would be cleaner maybe.

2)when ordering we asked which burger doesn't have mayonnaise bc it has eggs and we don't eat eggs. He then recommended us a sandwich and after my husband tried sandwich we asked if it has mayo, he said yes. So why did he recommend that to us?!

I am just shocked that the chef/cook maybe didn't even wash the vegetables/hands bc if he didn't remove the sticker and hot pressed it inside the sandwich, we literally ate melted plastic.

If you care about your body, don't eat here. You have no idea what they are...

If you’re craving authentic and delicious parathas, DesiBites is the place to be! I tried the gobi, mooli, and aloo parathas, and each one was packed with flavor, perfectly crisp on the outside, and generously stuffed. The homemade taste and fresh ingredients really stood out, making every bite satisfying.

A word of advice—this place gets super busy on weekends, so if you don’t want to wait, pre-order your food in advance. The wait can be long, but it’s totally worth it.

I also tried their ginger tea, but personally, I didn’t find it to be a perfect blend of milk and tea. It’s premade and quite heavy on the milk, so unless you prefer your tea that way, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Overall, DesiBites is a fantastic spot for paratha lovers—just plan ahead and maybe...
