4.7 / 5.0(848 reviews)

Been a rough week and The Bite made sure I end it on a high note. I just ordered late night delivery for tonight's dinner, and next two days of meals. Entrées are high quality ingredients. Made fresh to order. Meat was not dried out. Lightly seasoned to enjoy the fresh natural flavor of the foods. Bonus points for the careful packaging of my delivery order, especially the protective wrapping for the soups. Highly recommend!!! I ordered from The Bite through DoorDash and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The meat was tender, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. The portions were generous, and the sides like the rice, salad, fries, and naan complemented the meal really well. We tried several items including the kebabs, gyro plate, and sides, and everything tasted authentic and delicious. The sauces were flavorful and added a great finishing touch. Honestly, every bite lived up to the name of the restaurant. This place is a gem for Mediterranean food, and I will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend if you want something fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. Great food, very clean place, and wonderful staff. The lamb and beef gyro was made really quick and was delicious. Ingredients were fresh and gyro was put together with care

- Multiple locations (e.g., 62 W 22nd St, 335 Lafayette St) make it accessible in Manhattan. [3] - Friendly staff and casual ambiance: Several comment‑threads mention staff are approachable, place works for a quick lunch. [2] --- 👎 What to watch out for / limitations - It’s not a fine‑dining experience: If you’re looking for a high‑end sit‑down dinner with full service, ambiance and upscale preparations, Bite is not in that category. It’s more casual café/fast‑casual style. - Space / seating may be limited: Some reviews hint at compact interiors and fewer dedicated sit‑down amenities. Example: in the Roadfood review: “There is no seating other than a few beat‑up bar stools on the sidewalk…” [2] If you want a relaxed sit‑down meal, check the location. - Because it’s fresh, simple fare, some may find it less “exciting” than a destination restaurant with elaborate plates. If you want a drawn‑out dining experience, you might get more from a specialized place. - If you go for non‑sandwich items (salads, etc), ensure you check freshness and portion — while many reviews are positive, some casual spots have variable consistency. --- 🎯 My verdict
