Bomb a Indian food. Good vegan and vegetarian dishes available- good service as well! Highly recommended
Samosa chat was good but the paneer katti roll was sweet.. rather than savory and indian it tastes almost a bit sweet and from a different cuisine not sure what sauce they put in their or maybe it was the pickles.
Delicious Food, Excellent Customer Service, clean and organized delivery system, I highly recommend Samossa Bites. I used catering services offered by Samossa Bites, and they assisted me in item quantity selection based on my guest counts, went todetails of the orders, added additional convenience to accomodate my vegan guests for the same order. My guests enjoyed the foodso much they even requested to take some home. Thank you Samossa Bites! Awesome job!
First of all I'm so thankful that Samosa Bites has made their food Halal.I can eat in complete peace knowing that .Being Indian I can tell you their food is real tasting Indian food which is distinct from Bangali and Pakistani food which tend to get alllumped together and I love all three of them but their is subtle differences in spices used and methods of cooking. Theirbutter chicken is one of the best.I also love their baked chicken wings which they offer in several flavors and is amazing.Amuch healthier option than being fried.All their food, meats, vegetables, and spices seem fresh and I don't find them to be toooily or overly powerful.
The food was fine but it might be a better idea to dine in. Even considering the bad weather, delivery in two hours without a notice put me in uncertainty and eventually made me order from another place and it just arrived when the other delivery came soI had too much food in the end : The Naan was delivered cold but I liked that the chai tea was still warm and tasted good.

The service was friendly and the staff was accommodating. The food was delicious. Special thanks to Shravan.
I had a 20 piece box of samosa the taste was super delicious with very healthy level of oil , and crunchy . The packaging was so premium quality . Service was good. I like the samosa with red sauce they gave with the order. It was reasonably priced with nice interior of the restaurant. The parking options are limited but can find within one or two blocks of driving . It is accessible by train , taking MTA transit is most convenient to access the store.
A hidden gem in Astoria. A small place with a lots of pure Indian flavor . I can't fully express how good the food was. Next time will definitely try their samosas. Don’t miss it. The best Indian restaurant in Queens
Hit the spot when you're craving that desi pizza! Paneer tikka pizza was delicious. Although it is a small portion and very little toppings for the price.
Excellent food, excellent beverages, sauces are delicate and flavorful. Cozy little dining area perfect for a small group of friends or date night.

We’ve only gotten delivery from Samossa Bites but their food is fantastic! The pizzas are delicious they have the best butter chicken I’ve ever tasted. And I’m Indian and very picky with my Indian food but this place never disappoints.Food: 5/5
Friendly service, the workers were very accommodating (turning on the fan so we could eat comfortably outside, turning down the music the outside seating was like a cozy hut which was nice on a hot sunny day. The waiter asked what spice level we wanted which was very nice especially if you are not accustomed to ordering Indian cuisine. The menu had so many option from samosas to pizza, so they’re are certainly options for people of all dietary needs and taste buds : The waiter came out of the shop and waved goodbye to us, they were just really friendly! I had a great experience and the food was just what I was craving! so good and great service means I will be back soon for a quick, tasty and affordable lunch : I had the Samosa Chaat
This place is a hole in the wall but can be spotted by their outdoor dining setup. The place inside is small and can seat around ten people maximum. I tried to dine in, but apparently, they have a rule that states that you can't eat inside unless you order $15 worth of food. On a normal day, I can, but I just wanted samossas as that's what they're known for at the restaurant. I went with 2 other people, and we all chose samossas, which is what the restaurant is named, and they just wanted to take out.The person at the register didn't really help us out. He was busy taking orders over the phone and giving them to the delivery people. He wasn't coherent either when we asked questions. Anyway, I ordered the mixed order where it comes with 5 different kinds. I got the 5 on the menu, which are spinach, diced potatoes, chick peas, ground lamb, and ground chicken. It comes with two different sauces, which goes great with the samossas. All were pretty good, but the meat ones were the best for me.
Samosa Bites is small, quaint, cozy and friendly. The person working was welcoming and helpful. The menuis substantial so I am grateful for the patience of the worker.I chose the eponymous samosa. It comes 4 per order. It came out hot and fresh and quite tasty! The two sauces were equally tantalizing. I enjoyed this experience and will return to try out the other items on the menu.What a cool little place to happen upon in the middle of the otherwise industrial part of Astoria.Wishing you well with lots of customers in the coming months ??
Very pleasant dine in experience yesterday. Samosas were great. Goat Biryani was a top notch on along with long basmati rice. Keep up the good work guys ?

Samossa Bites is my favorite spot for affordable and delicious Indian cuisine in Astoria! My friend and I discovered it about a month and a half ago, and I’ve been ordering from there ever since. I appreciate their variety of samosa options, especially since I love them but usually avoid them due to my reactions to nightshades like potatoes. My favorite is the Palak paneer samosa. The pizza is tasty, though I wish it had a bit more paneer. The Navratan Korma is fantastic—it's rare to find places that add paneer to it, so I really value that! Their mango lassi is delightful—sweet, creamy, and thick, just as it should be. The vegetable pakora is excellent, and the gobi Manchurian is delicious as well! I highly recommend visiting for their lunch special.
Everything was fantastic! The Paneer Tikka Masala (item 37) was among the best I've ever tasted, and the Mango Chutney (item 103) and Samossa (item 1) were just right! The portions are smaller compared to other places, but the incredible flavors make it well worth the price.
Exceptional Indian cuisine! I've been on the hunt for a great Indian restaurant in Astoria and was thoroughly let down each time—until I discovered this gem. The food here is outstanding, bursting with flavor and genuinely spicy. I've sampled the Chilli Lamb, Daal Tadka, samosas, and mango lassi so far, and I'm absolutely thrilled. I can't wait to explore the rest of the menu!
I ordered the Butter Chicken (#63), Garlic Naan (#47), and a Samossa (#1), and they were all absolutely delicious! I will definitely be ordering again.
The Chicken Tikka Masala (#61) was incredible, and the Samosa (#1) was packed with flavor and perfectly crispy. This was one of the best Indian meals I’ve had in a long time!

Rainy day out had me hungry, ordered the bite size chicken Samosas and mango Lassi, and it is very full. My experience ran smoothly, people were very nice and communicative, the delivery driver was also very friendly, thank you for the delivery by the storm, I am grateful.
Delicious food, excellent customer service, clean and organized delivery system, I recommend Samossa Bites. I used catering services offered by Samossa Bites, and they supported me in selecting the product quantities based on my guest, went to the details of orders, additional comfort to keep my vegan guests for the same order. My guests enjoyed the food so much that they even wanted to come home. Thank you, Samossa Bites! Great job!
First, I'm so grateful that Samosa Bites made her food Halal. I can eat in full peace to know. As Indians, I can tell you that their food is genuine tasting Indian food that distinguishes from Bangali and Pakistani foods that tend to get all banged and I love all three of them, but their subtle differences in spices used and methods of cooking. Your butter chicken is one of the best. I also love their baked chicken wings that they offer in several flavors and is amazing. A much healthier option to be fried. All their foods, meat, vegetables and spices are fresh and I do not find them too oily or excessively powerful.
All we ordered was amazing. From Papadam to the Cheese Naan. From chicken silk to curry chicken. They made everything perfect in terms of spice levels. Service was friendly and friendly. The guy remembered us from a previous visit that felt very welcomed. Only one thing that would change would allow small part of the black daal, because I like it as a side and not as a head. Prices are very reasonable, especially for lunch. Very recommended .

It’s long overdue for me to write a review of samosa bites. The first time I went there I went there was with my sister. She told me when I first moved in that this was her favorite place nearby our house. Now that I’ve been going there since I moved into my place in Astoria, this has been my comfort meal. I now share this meal with my new roommate and my best friend and the lady at the front desk always remembers our order and every time is like where have you guys been Typically, we order tiki masala and garlic naan sometimes what add in some Samosa or butter, chicken and the mango lassi. Everything’s so yummy and the people they are so nice amazing place. Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chicken Tikka, Chicken Tikka Masala Vegetarian offerings: Large vegetarian selection
