The Late Night Fix: 5 Irresistible Dishes from Bithika That Belfast Locals Crave After Dark

When the city winds down and the streets of Belfast begin to quiet, hunger doesn’t always follow suit. Whether you're a student pulling an all-nighter, a night-shift worker clocking out late, or just back from a night out with friends, those post-10 PM cravings hit hard—and you need food that delivers both on flavour and satisfaction.

That’s where Bithika Indian Takeaway, located at 133 Lisburn Road, Ballymurphy, comes in. Known for their wide selection of bold Indian flavours, generous portions, and reliable late-night service, Bithika has become a local go-to for after-hours eats.

Here are 5 late-night favourites locals can’t get enough of—and they might just become your new fix too.

1. Garlic Naan – The Comfort Carb That Never Fails

No late-night Indian order is complete without naan bread, and Garlic Naan is the top choice for those seeking that extra punch. Soft, chewy, and freshly tandoor-baked, Bithika’s garlic naan is brushed with aromatic garlic butter that hits the senses before you even take a bite.

It pairs perfectly with virtually everything on the menu—from saucy curries to biryani rice dishes—or simply enjoyed on its own as a carby, comforting snack while you scroll through Netflix in your PJs.

Why locals love it late at night: It's easy to digest, satisfying, and warm—a simple indulgence that doesn’t overdo it.

🔄 Want to mix things up? You can request naan customisations like red chilli flakes or coriander on request.

2. Fanta Lemon 330ml – The Ultimate Refresher

You can’t underestimate the importance of the right drink with a late-night feast. And Fanta Lemon 330ml is a zesty, refreshing favourite among locals. The citrus kick helps balance out rich or spicy dishes, and it adds a nostalgic, fizzy pop to any meal.

Whether you're washing down biryani, kebabs, or gravy-soaked chips, this tangy drink is the perfect way to stay refreshed during your midnight binge.

Can I order drinks individually?

Yes, drinks like Fanta, Coke, and water are all available as standalone items on the Bithika online menu.

3. Gravy Chips – Northern Ireland’s Late Night Essential

There are few things more comforting than a hot tray of gravy chips, especially when it’s well past regular dinner hours. Bithika’s take on this Northern Irish staple features crispy golden chips smothered in rich, savoury gravy—a dish that’s long been loved by locals from Ballymurphy to Belfast City Centre.

The portion size is more than generous, making it perfect for sharing (or not—we won’t judge). It's also a fantastic side for wings, naan, or anything else in your late-night order.

Why it's a favourite: Whether you’re hungover, tired, or simply starving, this dish hits every spot with its saltiness, warmth, and classic flavour.

✅ Vegetarian-friendly and best enjoyed hot—make sure to eat it fresh for max satisfaction.

4. Chicken Wings (4 pcs) – Crispy, Juicy, and Totally Snackable

Craving something with bite? Bithika’s Chicken Wings come in packs of four and are just spicy enough to wake up your taste buds without overwhelming them. Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these wings are ideal for those who want something easy to munch on while binge-watching or winding down after a night out.

Are the wings spicy or plain?

They’re lightly seasoned with a mild spice kick, but you can request extra heat by adding chilli sauce on the side or going for a spicier dip like the house sauce.

Best paired with: Garlic naan and a soft drink for a complete late-night combo.

5. King Prawn Biryani – The Star of the Late-Night Menu

If you’re looking for something substantial but a bit elevated, the King Prawn Biryani is a showstopper. Featuring fragrant rice, perfectly seasoned king prawns, and a touch of Bithika’s unique spice blend, this dish is filling, satisfying, and full of depth.

It’s served with a side of vegetable curry, which makes it even more hearty and well-rounded—great for late-night eaters who want more than just fast food.

Is the Biryani pre-spiced or customisable?

It comes traditionally spiced, but you can request a milder or spicier version when ordering. Just leave a note with your order or speak to staff when calling.
