Heavenly Bites
Heavenly Bites, aka the new kid on the block, is a small Indian restaurant located in the Burnaby Height’s area. This restaurant I must say has peaked my interest as it took a really, really long time to open but in the end it was worth the wait.
Inside Heavenly Bites
Heavenly Bites focuses on an Indian tradition called Tiffen Boxes which as I just recently found out are small metal pots that fasten together with a handle.
My knowledge of Indian restaurants is some what limited so I can’t quite compare Heavenly Bites with other Indian places and get away with sounding smart. What I do know is I like their style. The restaurant itself is small and minimalistic other than one or two art pieces you’d never know you walked into an Indian restaurant. There is no separate menu if you chose to stay so they hand you the take out menu.
For the appetizer we ordered Pakora ($4.45) which was amazing. I could not stop eating it the pieces were cooked perfectly and the sauce they provided for our meal (not sure what it was but came in a Jones Soda bottle) went well with it. For my Tiffen Box ($9.95) I chose Karai Chicken to accompany my random vegetable curry and rice. If you prefer not to have the Tiffen Box you save $2 but miss out on the vegetable curry of the day.

The Karai Chicken had a great flavor, tasted very fresh and the chicken was perfectly done. As for the vegetable curry it was a bit cold in places but still very tasty.
Will I be going back to Heavenly Bites? Why yes, yes I will. The quality of food, the friendliness of the staff, the feeling of home cooking in the food all adds up to a very nice meal. The only downfall for this place is that it closes early. 7pm cuts the dinner time window short and maybe one day they’ll extend their hours as business picks up. But for now, Heavenly Bites will be a very strong contender for a great tasting lunch.
