Fountain soda-came with the all day combo

Grace L.

Deccan Bites is a fast casual restaurant to get some crispy fried chicken. There were a lot of choices, but I ultimately decided on the all day combo ($11.99). This came with 2 pieces of leg and thigh, as well as fries and a fountain soda. I also got the potato garlic tots ($3.49). I enjoyed the juiciness of the fried chicken, and the sauces that came with it were addictively delicious. I ended up dipping my fries and tots into the sauces. I wish there was more sauce because they were that good! The parking lot was huge, so it was quite easy to find parking. After you order, you get a buzzer to notify you to pick up the food. The soda fountain is self-serve as well. Next time, I'll opt to order more chicken instead of an additional side!

Fried chicken and Indian food? Well it's more of an Indian flare on fried chicken, but why not! My wife found this place on Yelp and wanted to give it a try since we were going to be in the area. There is a small amount of parking in front of the restaurant but some of them are only 30 minutes but they also have a drive through. The inside looks like a typical fast food restaurant and there are about 10 tables inside. You order at the counter and they will hand you a buzzer to notify you when to pick up your food. We ordered a few different things and everything tasted like you would expect. The 65 chicken was interesting and had a lot of flavor. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. I got the spicy and it was decently spicy, but I have a higher spice tolerance. Tater tots were crispy with a powdered garlic taste. Overall, the food was tasty but reminiscent of fast food fried chicken. For the price, I don't think it's worth the money. Definitely worth a try though, especially if you're in the area.

The Family meal ($34.99) was a great deal with 10 chicken tenders already being worth more than the equivalent entree size, but it also came with a huge pile of fries. I would definitely return, for the same meal, but I really want to try their samosas and mango lassi. I found the chicken to have the perfect amount of crispy batter. For those of you who are not very tolerant of spicy foods, the chicken meat itself is amazingly tender but was marinated in something quite spicy so there is a lot of intrinsic heat to the chicken. Even though we ordered the no-spice option (but I think that applies to the batter). I demolished the chicken tenders, but it took a lot of water and nose-blowing to get me through the whole meal. I really enjoyed the dipping sauces (one of tasted like tikka masala?) The french fries are crispy and lightly coated with additional seasoned batter. They reheated perfectly in my air fryer with my leftover chicken tenders the next day. The garlic tots ($3.49) were deliciously crisp. Only the drizzle of sauce had garlic flavor so I definitely wish that it came with its own side of garlic sauce that we could dip the naked tots into. The Family meal also comes with two fountain drinks, but neither of us drink soda so we just drank water. I think they have all the usual assortment of sodas that you can self-dispense. The restaurant is casual. You order at the counter, and you pick up the food at the counter when they call you. We came at opening so it was very quiet (not even any music), but I like talking to my partner rather than shouting over music anyways. Although some low-volume music is always appreciated as background noise. There is a free parking lot with plenty of spots.

The fried chicken here is bomb! Very crispy, good flavor and have good heat. Personally I'm a spicy wimp so I can't really handle the spice that much but my friends loved the hot spice. I got classic and it had a hint of spiciness. The fried are very well done too. The chicken quality and crispy quality is well done. The location is a newer complex that has apartment complex and some cool food places.

Just realized I haven't reviewed this yet! I love the flavor this place has to offer! Definitely that tandoori flavor is there. Its for sure a halal place and their take on chicken sandwiches is excellent. Today I got wings with their special sauce amd garlic sauce on the side. Its quite delicious! For 10 wings its 10$ and I also got tots. Its about 3$. That garlic flavor made the tots just taste so much better. The cashier was friendly and helped me out with what's good. I've been here only twice. Its a good enough size for families getting a quick bite. Its clean inside and roomie. I'll come get other things for sure. Id really like to try their samosas and some breads. Im just on a strict diet so I can only have one tot and one chicken wing and a bite of a a chicken sandwich. I know, diabetes suck!

Deccan bites is a halal/ Indian fusion fast casual restaurant. The options were unique and reminded me of places I have visited in my international travels. My wife got chai tea which was great. We shared the chicken zinger burger which was good, but the real star of the show was either the osmania biscuit or the Bun maska. The service was great and the young man who served us convinced us to try the freshly made bun. It was great and we ordered another so we could share with our kids who wolfed them down. The ambiance was chill with an international flavor. This place is legit and as I was looking at their menu again my mouth was beginning to water. We need to go there again and you need to give them a try.

This Deccan Bites opened months ago. Parking was plenty. The indoor dining space is plenty. There were predominantly Indian guests here. I thought that was a good sign! I pre ordered on the phone. It was hard to hear and understand the worker. My order was almost ready when I arrived. The man at counter was blah at first but came alive after he opened up the Osmania cookie case. He said the smell was amazing. I ordered 3 but ordered more after he said that. They were pretty good but my teen didn't like them. Apparently on India the breakfast of choice is said cookies and Chai. It was lunch but I got both. They were a good pair. The coffee came out scalding hot. I really mean this as it spilled on me and was burning hot! I got the chicken burger. I really enjoyed it. It has the Indian spice in it that sets it apart. I'm really glad I came today.

- located in what seems to be a newly developed area below some apartment complexes, plenty of parking - loved the original chicken - it was flavorful, tender, and crispy - maybe it was because we had gotten takeout but the burger wasn't great - the bun was too stiff? and bready, it was very saucy for my taste, and the chicken wasn't juicy or tender at all - i would try this again fresh though - the sauces that came with the tots were wonderful - there was a curry and garlic sauce which were both so addictive

Deccan Bites is in a shiny and clean building. Looks fairly new. I love broasted fried chicken and was excited to try Deccan Bites version. You get 4 pieces for $16.99 and I chose the original flavor. They fry to order so it took 15-20 minutes for my chicken to be ready. I loved the crunchy batter which had amazing texture. Chicken was moist and tender. Flavor profile was interesting. It was seasoned a bit like Tandoori chicken. French fries had a very thin crispy layer and a tasty fried potato flavor. Very good. Cola drink tasted alot like an R.C. Cola. I was looking at the ingredient list. Made in Turkey and sweetened with sucralose. My favorite cola is Mexican Coke sweetened with cane sugar. Cashier was nice and efficient.

It's still primarily a hot chicken shop, however the ownership has changed, and the products are now halal. Deccan Bites is a new business at The Hub in Scripps Ranch with a recent grand opening less than two weeks ago. The interior layout was the same as before, but all the previous branding has been removed. The menu was chicken (broasted, fried, grilled) seasoned with a South Indian flavor profile. Six combos were available in the center menu screen above the service counter. To the left were main items in the form of chicken legs, thighs, wings, tenders, nuggets, burgers, shawarma, and even a wrap. Snacks, sides, desserts, and beverages made up the right screen. The All Day Combo was my choice which featured a fried chicken leg and thigh, one side, and a fountain drink. My pick was the Potato Garlic Tots for a side. The two pieces of chicken had a nice crunchy crust with a masala marinade that had a moderate amount of spiciness. The tater tots were plain and came with a dipping sauce instead of being seasoned with garlic. Even with the halal preparation, I found the price to be high at $13.99 for this combo. Perhaps the non-fried offerings like the Chicken 65 and shawarma were better values at Deccan Bites.

Another weekend , another search and a new find. Menu wasn't wrong to convince me I'm going to revisit some of my college days. Chicken sandwich that I ordered was quite good and plenty to make for a meal. Fries and sauces equally good. Samosas are rather small bites than the usual ones but well that's what they've got. Get chai or mango lassi, it's all good. Parking wasn't an issue during middle of the day. Suggestion: put some music on.

This place has recently taken over Big Cheech's Chicken adjacent to Starbucks serving 100% hand slaughtered halal. After eating here, I have to say the crispy zinger burger definitely has some potential. The flavor was very tasty, but the chicken portion between the buns was to small relative to the size of the bun. If they stick with the same sesame seed bun, which is a very good bun, they definitely need to kick up the size of the fried crispy chicken in the burger, like they display on their advertisements. The DB sauce that came on sandwich was very good, the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, and the American cheese not melted, which should of been. I order a side of the potato garlic tots, but they did not come with ant garlic on them. I did not understand that. When I question it, I was told the garlic was in the side sauce that came with the tots. Sadly, however, the sauce did not taste like garlic at all. I don't know about you, when I order garlic tots, they usually come with, at the very least, garlic seasoning, but preferably fresh garlic on top. They need to rethink how they make the garlic tots. Service was good. They offered not much conversation, but when it did happen, it was friendly.

The food was prepared well. The staff was very friendly and helpful in describing the menu. The food was tasty with a subtle spice unusual for this gringo. I intend to experience this cuisine again. The facility is clean yet simple. My suggestion is give this new fast food provider a chance

Came here twice, once for hot & crispy burger + Dubai chocolate cup , then again for the chicken tenders. Dubai chocolate strawberry cup is just a layered cup, and the balance and mix was way off (way too much kataifi). Burger was neutral. Chicken tenders were hard as a brick, flavor is just dry seasoning sprinkled on top, and definitely not worth $17. Service is entirely unmemorable. read more

When you first enter this place, the restaurant is very clean and welcoming. There is a person that takes your order at the counter, not a robot or computer. The person the helped me was very helpful and courteous. The food offerings is almost like Popeyes meets Indian. I ordered the chicken tenders with fries, which have quite a kick to them, even at the lowest spice level. The chicken and fries did not feel greasy and both were crispy on the outside and tender inside. There is a garlic sauce that comes with the chicken and it's sooooo gooooood! I also got the Chai to drink. It tasted really good and is way better than the one offered at some coffee places. If I am ever back in the area, I would eat at this place again and try their other menu items. read more

My husband brought this home, and I reheated the fried chicken tenders and fries. I was amazed at how good they tasted after one day. Loved the special sauce and the chai latte. Usually fried chicken is dry or greasy, but this was neither and tasted clean and healthy. I love the ethnic flavors added to a traditional dish. This is a wonderful addition to the community, and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more items from their menu. read more

This might be the best fried chicken in San Diego. I'm speaking specifically about The Original Broaster Chicken. The chicken is tender and juicy, the coating is light and crispy, and the seasoning is subtle, a little different, but complements the chicken really well. You'll have to wait because they make it after you order (order ahead). If you really like fried chicken, and value legitimately good food, you owe it to yourself to try this. It's worth the time, and it's worth the price. Deccan's looks like a fast food place, but don't let that fool you. It's obvious they take food prep very seriously. The counter staff is super nice, too, and wants to make sure everyone is satisfied. PS Get the mango lassi, too. read more

I was cut off by 3 cars as I was waiting with my blinker on to turn into the line, the cars came from every direction. They had only 1 person taking orders with the massive line & no comment to all the line cutting that was happening. Super frustrating & it's this & a 30+ minute drive thru experience every time. Really wish they'd manage the operations better. Cones for directing cars & a secondary person outside would go a long way. I would love to update this review in the future but had to get it out there - be vigilant because people will cut you & it will be allowed to happen.

Dave's Hot Chicken

Inside it was blazing hot. But what do you expect . There ain't supposed to be good lighting in a scary movie and there will always be a busted AC system at a banging chicken spot. FIHHH STAHGG

I'd heard a lot of good things about Dave's Hot Chicken, so I was excited to finally give it a try…read more I ordered the #3, which comes with a chicken sandwich and tenders. The food itself was great. It was fresh, flavorful, and definitely lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, everything else was disappointing. I came in with my son thinking we'd be in and out in about 10 to 15 minutes. Instead, we waited 37 minutes for a very basic order with no modifications. While we were waiting, multiple larger groups who also ordered at the self-service kiosks after me received their food first. These weren't mobile orders or delivery pickups. The restaurant has a customer order status screen, so I eventually went up to ask what was going on. From where I was standing, I could also see the kitchen's order screen with timers showing each ticket's status. My order was still sitting untouched. It was pretty obvious they had simply forgotten about it. After I brought it up, it still took another 15 minutes to get our food. There was no apology, no acknowledgment, nothing. The layout of this location doesn't help either. It's extremely cramped. The self-order kiosks are right next to the entrance, so people waiting to order constantly block the doorway. As they move around, they end up crowding the drink station and condiment area too. The whole flow of the restaurant feels poorly designed and chaotic. The food deserves the praise it gets, but the service and the logistics at this location completely overshadowed the experience. I might order takeout again, but I definitely won't be dining in here.

OMG... it was SO good! Easily one of the best spring rolls I've ever had. They made it with their amazing lemongrass beef, and the combination was perfect. I came back this morning to pick up bánh mì for my coworkers as a lunch treat and asked about the Surf & Turf Spring Roll again. Turns out I had originally seen it listed under the vermicelli bowl section, not the spring rolls. Thankfully, they were happy to make it for me again. Honestly, they should add a Surf & Turf Bánh Mì and a Surf & Turf Spring Roll to the regular menu. They would absolutely become my go-to order every time!

I recently visited Deccan Bites in Scripps Ranch to pick up a mobile takeout order, and while the food was good, the experience was slightly marred by an unexpected 30-minute wait time. The Food: Deccan Bites offers a unique twist on fried chicken with their Broaster Chicken, which is pressure-fried to achieve a crispy exterior and juicy interior. The Hot Masala Broaster Chicken stood out with its bold, tandoori-inspired seasoning. Their menu also features items like Chicken 65, Zinger Burgers, Shawarma, and Irani Chai, setting them apart from typical fried chicken joints. Drinks & Dessert: The beverage selection includes unique options like Salaam Cola, offering a distinct alternative to mainstream colas . For dessert, the viral Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Chip is a must-try, providing a sweet finish to the meal. Service & Wait Time: Despite placing a mobile order in advance, I experienced a 30-minute wait upon arrival. While the staff was courteous and the food freshly prepared, the delay was unexpected and slightly inconvenient. Overall: Deccan Bites delivers on flavor and offers a menu that distinguishes itself in the San Diego halal food scene. However, the prolonged wait time for a pre-ordered meal is the four-star rating. I recommend allowing extra time when ordering, but the culinary experience is well worth it. read more

We walked into the restaurant brimming with excitement, and thankfully, it did not disappoint. From the very first bite, we were blown away by the incredible flavors. The spicy zinger was an absolute delight being crispy, juicy, and packed with just the right amount of heat. The broast chicken was equally impressive, boasting a perfectly golden crunch on the outside while remaining tender and flavorful inside. The highlight of the meal, however, was the Irani chai was rich, aromatic, and simply out of this world. Every sip was pure indulgence. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself was spotless and well-managed, adding to the overall pleasant experience. We left completely satisfied and already looking forward to our next visit! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Deccan Bites, and I must say, it completely tickled my Hyderabadi taste buds! San Diego truly needed this spice, and Deccan Bites delivers it in spades. The quality of the chicken is top-notch--tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the Bun Maskas and the Chicken 65 paired with Rumali Roti. The flavors are rich, authentic, and bursting with that signature Hyderabadi flair. The atmosphere is filled with delightful desi vibes, making it a must-visit spot. I'm confident their menu will continue to grow, but for now, it's more than enough to satisfy any Hyderabadi cravings. Highly recommend checking it out! read more
