Questions, answered
Everything people usually ask before and after ordering. Can’t find yours? Ask us directly.
Ordering
How do I place an order?
Add dishes to your bag from the menu on our home page, tap Checkout, enter your phone number and delivery address, and pay. You get an order number and a live status page straight away.
Do I need to create an account?
No. We only ask for your name, phone number and address. Your details can be remembered on your own device for next time — you can switch that off at checkout.
Is there a minimum order?
No, there is no minimum order value.
What are your opening hours?
24 hours delivery night charges extra . We take orders right up to closing time, and everything placed before then is cooked and delivered.
Is there a discount on big orders?
Yes — 10% off on orders above ₹2,000. The discount is taken off your item total at checkout automatically, so there is no code to enter. It doesn't stack with a coupon: whichever saves you more is the one we apply.
Can I order for a later time?
Not online yet. For a fixed time — a party or an office lunch — use the party order form or call +91 80914 29394 and we'll book it in.
Payments
Which payment methods do you accept?
UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm and other UPI apps), debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay), net banking and popular wallets. Online payments are processed by PayU.
Is it safe to pay on your website?
Yes. You pay on PayU's secure, PCI-DSS compliant checkout. We never see or store your card number, CVV or UPI PIN — we only receive a confirmation that the payment went through.
Money was deducted but my order didn't go through.
If a payment fails midway, your bank or the payment gateway reverses it automatically, usually within 5–7 working days. If you'd like us to check, send your order number or transaction ID to order@thelittlebites.in.
Do your prices include GST?
Yes. The price you see on the menu is the price you pay for the dish. Delivery charges are shown separately before you pay.
Delivery
Where do you deliver?
To the areas listed on our delivery areas page around New Chandigarh. If yours isn't there, call +91 80914 29394 — we may still be able to reach you.
How long does delivery take?
About 35 minutes on average from the time your order is confirmed. Rain, festivals and the dinner rush can add 10–15 minutes, and we'll call you if there's a longer delay.
How much is delivery?
Delivery costs ₹20 in most areas and is free on orders above ₹499. The exact charge for your area is shown at checkout before you pay.
Can I track my order?
Yes. After ordering you land on a status page that updates as the kitchen accepts, cooks and sends out your food. The link is in your confirmation email too, or use Track order with your order number and phone.
Cancellations & refunds
Can I cancel my order?
Yes, free of charge until the kitchen accepts it — usually within 5 minutes of ordering. Call or WhatsApp +91 80914 29394 with your order number. Once cooking has started we can't cancel, because every dish is made fresh for you. Details are in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
Something is missing or wrong in my order.
We're sorry. Tell us within 2 hours of delivery with your order number and a photo, and we'll send the missing item, replace the dish or refund it.
How long do refunds take?
We start the refund within 24 hours of approving it. Online payments go back to the original payment method and usually reach you in 5–7 working days (UPI is often quicker). Cash-on-delivery refunds are sent by UPI or bank transfer.
Food & allergies
How do I know if a dish is vegetarian?
Every dish shows the green (vegetarian) or brown (non-vegetarian) food mark. Dishes with egg carry the brown mark and an "Egg" tag. Use the Veg only switch on the menu to hide everything else.
I have a food allergy. Can I order?
Each dish page lists its main allergens. Our kitchen handles wheat, milk, egg, soy, sesame and nuts, so we can't promise zero cross-contact. If your allergy is severe, please call us before ordering.
Can you make a dish less spicy?
Usually, yes. Add a note like "less spicy" in the delivery instructions at checkout and the kitchen will tone it down wherever the recipe allows.
Party orders
Do you take bulk or party orders?
Yes, for 10 to 150 people. Fill in the party order form and we'll reply with a menu and a price, usually the same day.
How much notice do you need?
A few hours for groups under 30. A day ahead for larger groups or a fixed delivery time.
Still stuck?
Call +91 80914 29394 or email order@thelittlebites.in. During opening hours we usually answer within minutes.
