The staff were so friendly and explained dishes to us. They catered for our Coeliac guest. The onion Baji were lovely and the ribs were amazing. I would definitely go back.

Food was fantastic, tried the southern Indian dish, Dosa’s for the first time. Really lovely. Decor a bit blue & it was very cold the night we were in

I was a bit dubious when I saw the restaurant- it wasn’t quite what I was expecting in terms of aesthetics or style - more casual that chic. The menu was extensive, maybe too much choice (!) We had some popadoms to start with chutneys- they were stale and soft and chutney too runny so not great start. We then had onion bhajis and pakora to start- both very spicy, I liked but my partner found it too much. Similar story with mains- my veggie main was an aubergine dish which I liked with saffron rice and a plain nann. My partner had a butter chicken dish but he found it way too spicy. The manager was very attentive and immediately offered to prepare a milder version for him, which was very considerate. He had the second version which he enjoyed better. Overall, an okay experience and I enjoyed veggie options but probably spicier than many Irish palates prefer so those less adventurous need to advise waiter to get a milder dish. But staff were lovely and helpful and kind.

The staff and the food were lovely. Sadly it was very overpriced.. I mean £18 for a main course which only consisted of the meat & sauce, but did not include rice or anything else. That was quite shocking 😳 However, this seems to be ‘power for the course’ in Belfast at present… and has only compounded our belief that it is not worth eating out any more!

Friendly service in basic environment, but there is no hiding that the food was not great. The naan bread was overly salty and the curry lacking any real zing.

We chose Bites of India Botanic because they do South India food - specifically dosas. Appeared to be a ‘family’ restaurant with a warm welcome. The food was very good - the dosas were excellent. By the time we left, most of the customers were clearly S Asian family groups. That has to be a recommendation! I wish we could get this service and food in Manchester…

Absolutely delicious food. We had onion bhajis and chilli paneer to start and we asked for recommendations on a medium hot curry. The waiter gave us several options based on the choice of meat so we settled for lamb kadhai with rice and garlic naan. So fresh and tasty. Not heavy or oily. Would recommend highly

We found out that apparently even Indian restaurants adapt their cuisine a bit to the territory where they are located, so our favorite dish had a slightly different preparation, still pleasant. Simple, but excellent the rest

Great experience dinning out with my Uncle and Aunt from India. The Owner was kind enough to prepare a jain feast for my aunt who does not eat garlic and onion. The staff and manager were kind and helpful. Thank you for the experience and yummy food.

We read reviews and really looked forward to visiting, the restaurant was cold and felt damp. The food was well below standard. The staff were friendly but unfortunately we will not be returning.
