HOW IT BEGAN
A match made in heaven
BITES is proudly located at 335 Yonge Street W, Downtown Toronto, ON, inside the bustling World Food Market. What began as a small project in March 2021 between owners Monica Navas and Ralph King has rapidly grown into a beloved destination for both locals and tourists. Starting from a simple idea to bring brunch favorites to the marketplace, BITES has evolved into a brand known for its creative street-style foods. The journey involved trial and error, unwavering commitment, and a passion for food that resonated with our community.
Our initial vision focused on offering brunch menu options with desserts, but as we listened to our customers, particularly the vibrant Indian community, we expanded to include authentic Indian street eats like Pani Puri, Vada Pav, and Mumbai sandwiches. Now, BITES is recognized for its chai and Indian street food offerings, while still maintaining a diverse menu that caters to various tastes. We've infused our own unique spin into traditional dishes, creating flavours that are both familiar and distinctively BITES.
With our first kiosk at 335 Yonge Street and a new location set to open this fall at 568 Parliament Street in Toronto, BITES continues to grow. The Parliament Street location will offer a take-out style experience, adding another layer to our brand's journey. Our long-term goal remains to expand, bringing our innovative street food concept to more neighbourhoods. As we continue to build on our experiences and knowledge, our commitment to providing unique and flavourful dishes remains at the heart of everything we do. BITES is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary adventure with a promise to keep expanding and growing.
