    We first saw this place in DoorDash and all of their food looked really good, so we said we'd save it to go in person because honestly some foods taste a little better in person. We initially ordered the mixed grilled platter which is chicken with 3 diff sauces but they ran out so we got tandoori chicken which I'm very happy we got because the chicken was so tender and the flavor and spices were perfect. They were a nice size piece of chicken as well. We also got the tandoori salmon which we got medium and it was cooked really well. I think it was more medium well but it tasted great, almost melted in your mouth. It was really good but it was a little tart for me but my bf loved it. Now at any Indian restaurant, I have to get samosas (no matter if I'm on my diet or not lol) and I got the lamb ones. The corners of the crust were a little overcooked but the lamb was so moist and flavorful, it had a little bit of peas in there. I definitely loved those, I really wanted more lol. And lastly we got shrimp noodles from the Indo-Chinese section of the menu. We opted for no vegetables because he's not a huge fan of garlic and we both don't like onions, so it had eggs, shrimp and the noodles. Tbh I loved it, it was perfect balance of flavor and noodles were cooked perfectly. My bf doesn't like a lot of sauce anyways, so it was great for us. For dessert, I grabbed a Shahi Kulfi ice cream bar before we left. I tried the almond one and it was rich, creamy and had bits of almond in it. It was actually really good. I would love to go back and try the other flavors. Our overall experience was a 4.5/5 only because they ran out of some menu items, but I can't wait to come back and try other foods. Please check it out if you have some time. It's not a fancy place, it reminds me of an older Chinese restaurant vibe, but you'll definitely experience some good food and nice people.

    Bollywood Bites is a great spot if you're craving Indian food. The food is delicious and the overall vibe of the place is really nice and welcoming. Service is quick, so you don't have to wait long for your meal. The naan was especially good--very soft and tasty, and it paired perfectly with the dishes. If you enjoy spicy Indian food, I would recommend asking for a higher spice level because the standard spice level may feel mild for people who are used to authentic Indian flavors. Overall, a good place for flavorful Indian food, quick service, and a pleasant dining experience

    Thank you for a WONDERFUL and DELICIOUS meal. Everything tasted made to order and fresh. What made the meal special was how friendly you all were. Thank you again and you have gained new customers. Looking forward to our next family meal.

    The tandoori wings were great and it came out fairly quick when it wasn't busy. A great spot right next to campus.

The food was on point! The gyro meat was seasoned to perfection. I opted to swap the rice out for their veggies and it was a great call. There were bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms in there which complimented the meat perfectly. Their tzatziki is homemade and the perfect contrast to the dish. I'll definitely be back for lunch or dinner soon!

I've been a frequent diner…read moreof this place for years while I resided downtown, but now that I'm a little ways out, it's a treat to dine here, but still really enjoy their food nonetheless. I've always gone with and recommend the chicken kebab. It comes with about 4-5 pieces of grilled chicken, yellow rice, vegetables, and side of tzatziki sauce. The grilled flavor of the chicken just mixes so well with the rice, so having that clean "chicken & rice" meal while maintaining the awesome flavors. The menu is pretty diverse, despite Mediterranean being their speciality. They offer other American dishes like burgers or even pizza; never tried them though, but options are there to diversify. Right now due to Ramadan, their hours are adjusted for dining in, so they stop seating people around 7:30pm. To go orders are the only option; not a big deal for me though. I highly recommend people to try this place out if they haven't; seriously a solid 4 star dining establishment!

I came in a few minutes after 10:00 a.m., the time they open, and while I don't expect a restaurant to be in tip-top shape the second they open, they did not seem at all ready for the day or to accept customers. I stood at the front for a few awkward moments before asking one of the hostesses if I was supposed to seat myself, when she replied "oh no, I'll seat you", and then led me to one of the nearby tables. Somewhat grossly, the tablecloth on the table I was seated at was covered with coffee stains from previous guests, which was kind of unsettling. I then asked for a cup of coffee, and was told that there wasn't any ready, and that I would need to wait a few minutes. Again, not a huge deal, but I would expect a breakfast restaurant to have some coffee ready by the time that they open. Second, when perusing the menu, I was not particularly impressed by their "limited breakfast" options, nor anything on their regular menu. I decided to go with a simple hot dog, and substituted the offered sides with an order of French fries, which ridiculously cost me almost $4 extra. In addition, my hot dog was fine, but nothing exceptional, and definitely not better than one I could've gotten at Costco for a markedly cheaper price. The one (1) bright spot was that the fries were very good, and of higher quality than most other fries I've gotten at similar restaurants. Finally, my server was nice enough, but a little rough around the edges and not overly attentive. In addition, the ambiance was pretty basic, with nothing about it that really stuck out. All-in-all, I wouldn't be adverse to returning to DiPratos on a Saturday or Sunday to try their breakfast menu, but I won't be coming back during the week, and wouldn't really recommend that anybody else do so either.

We tried to enter, but the door was locked. After a few mins. we tried again. Still locked. There is a table with chairs outside, so we sat and proceeded to wait. A few minutes later, the waiter (there was only 1), told us he hadn't bothered to open the door as the chef had not arrived yet. We said it wasn't a problem as we were not in a hurry and we could spend the time having something to drink (iced tea) and perusing the menu. After the chef finally arrived and we could order, we ordered the Dolmadaki to share and two entrees that came with salads. We told the waiter that we would order dessert after dinner. The waiter eventually brought out the salads. Nothing special, but very overdressed. He then brought out the entrees. (In between his service, he spent a lot of time looking at himself and fixing his hair in a mirror on the wall in this small dining room.) My chicken souvlaki was very dry, served in large lumps that were difficult to cut. Potatoes were ok. My husbands beef kabob was flavorless, and his red lentils also lacked flavor. At this point we were still the only patrons and Andrew was the only waiter. He then came over, and asked if we were ready for the check. We informed him that we each wanted to order baklava and that he needed to make sure that our check did not include the Dolmadaki which we never received. He acted surprised that we hadn't received the appetizer, in spite of the fact that we were the only patrons and he was the only waiter. He went back to the kitchen and when he returned he told us that they only had 1 baklava as the chef didn't bake any that day. We requested our check instead. He proceeded to say that the Dolmadaki would be out shortly, at which point we informed him that we did not want them as they were to be our appetizer, not something we wanted to eat after dinner. When he finally brought the check, I needed to ask him to remove the used dinner plates so that I could deal with the check. While I was very tempted not to leave any, left a very meager 12% tip that day. Due to all of the above (and the fact that the only bathroom had an overflowing trash bin, no hand sanitizer in the dispenser, and could have used a good general cleaning) we cannot in good conscience recommend this restaurant. It was also interesting to note that when we left there were still no other patrons, but the restaurant next door was booming. Next time we'll try there.
