πŸ‘πŸ‘ So many compliments from our guests! What a piece of good fortune to find this place. We planned a 50th Anniversary party for my in-laws on Thanksgiving weekend and for many reasons, ended up waiting to the last minute to book a caterer. We had a diverse crew RSVP - all ages, meat eaters, vegetarian... People often mention delicious, Magic, Bites, dips,

    What a wonderful gem full of all the Turkish delights! I had lunch & enjoyed the spinach & cheese pide, spanikopida, spicy hummus and freshly made pita. The owners are so friendly and welcoming - and the bustling shop was bright and inviting. Outdoor seating on the street, perfect for summer days! Take away available too!

    The owner suggested I have a cheese and squash pide straight out of the oven drizzled with olive oil and it was absolutely amazing!!! Their dips and baklava are so so delicious. The closest experience I’ve had to Turkish food outside of Turkey!

    So many compliments from our guests! What a piece of good fortune to find this place. We planned a 50th Anniversary party for my in-laws on Thanksgiving weekend and for many reasons, ended up waiting to the last minute to book a caterer. We had a diverse crew RSVP - all ages, meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans, gluten free etc. Not an easy fix in Southern NH. I basically took a stab at the Google map, but Magic Bites delivered. Amazing party food from beginning to end. Have you ever had fresh pita instead of the stale super market bagged stuff? These pitas arrived warm and soft, one hour out of the oven. Not only was the food fantastic, but Elif and Atilla arrived with clearly printed labels for each dish listing the ingredients and detailed serving instructions. The price was more than reasonable compared to other places we considered. I easily give this establishment my highest recommendation and would not hesitate to book them again. THANK YOU MAGIC BITES!!!!

    Owner is very nice and a pleasure to talk to. All our bread was so fresh and the dolmas have an amazing rich flavor. We will be back!

    We got mini cupcakes from Magic Bites Bakery for our wedding and could not have been happier! They were delicious (and were ALL eaten!) They use real ingredients and it makes such a difference. Both the frosting and cake part were amazing. Since we were at the bakery for the tasting and tried some of their dips, we've also fallen in love with their Middle Eastern dips. Their lentil fingers are incredible, as is the basil hummus and Muhammara.

    I cannot recommend Magic Bites enough. My company did an order for a 30 person reception. When I called, Elif was so helpful in putting an order together. I was not personally familiar with Mediteranean food, but Elif walked me through their options and put together a delicious menu for my team. She was very clear and kind in all of her communication. On the day of delivery, she walked me through each option. All of the dips were labelled with ingredients and every other option was clearly labelled as well. The food was second to none. Let me start off by saying their pitas put other pitas to shame! They were so soft and fresh, I've never had another pita that even comes close to comparison. Their dips were also amazing and come in containers clearly labelled and wrapped to ensure no spills. We also ordered meatballs, a variety of pides, lentil fingers, spanakopita, boreks, dolmas, and other items. Everything was absolutely delicious. My whole team was raving about the food and asking when we could order again. We will definitely add Magic Bites to our normal ordering routine!

    I got and tasted some Turkish buns (pogaca) they are really good! And also owners (wife and husband) are very friendly and smiley people! Support Local Business! They deserved that!

    I’ve heard great things about Magic Bites and finally popped in this morning to pick up something for breakfast. The Borek I just got blew my mind, it was so delicious! I can’t wait to go back and try everything else. Thank you for brightening my morning with this lovely treat :)

    I got bread rolls filled with ground beef and Eetch (a bulgar wheat salad with tomato and other seasonings). The rolls were light, fluffy, and buttery with perfectly seasoned ground beef. The Eetch was absolutely delicious, hard not to eat the whole container in one go.

    I ordered food for catering from Magic Bites. People were raving about the food the entire night. Really excellent customer service, food, and presentation. They were also on time with the order, which I greatly appreciate. I will 100% be using them for catering again.

    Wow!!! Amazing food, I mean awesome! And the people were kind, even better than the food. I wish I lived in the MA area (from IL) or I would be here pretty much every day!!

    Delicious food. The cheese roll, hummus, pistachio baclava, and chocolate croissant were so good! Wish they had a little bit of indoor seating, but overall a great experience! Friendly workers.

    They are the best!! They cooked for us on our wedding night and everyone was asking about where we got the food from. They were very generous, easy to communicate and very professional. We are soo happy we got to know them in person as well. Overall, great service from start to finish, highly highly recommended!

    Really sweet spot. So far I’ve only tried their take away options, but that said you can really tell everything is made with love. The dolmades have a subtle sweetness to them, the muhammara leaves your tongue tingling in all the right ways, and the lentil fingers (once warmed) invoke a childhood nostalgia that could make any chicken-nugget-lover-turned-vegan smile. Stop by and see for yourself!

    We worked with Magic Bites to cater our rehearsal dinner and were blown away! We had very high expectations and from the manti to the mezes and borek, the food was absolutely incredible. All of our guests were raving about it and asking where we got it from. We still talk about how delicious it was 4 months later! Elif and Atila are a true pleasure to work with, very professional and communicative, and were flexible to all of our requests and dietary restrictions (they even made something off the menu and helped us set up)! The food was prepared for 30+ guests but still tasted homemade and absolutely delicious. Overall, amazing service from start to finish, HIGHLY recommend for your catering needs!

    Great Mediterranean prepared foods. The staff are incredibly helpful and offer suggestions. Tasty pides, muhammara, basil hummus, lentil fingers, chocolate croissant, and more. No dine in seating inside. One or two tables outside. They have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options in addition to meat options. This place is great for breakfast/ lunch or to pick up some dips to have around for company!
