“ Fast and affordable Indian food without sacrificing great taste. We really enjoy it for lunch when we want some curry, but don't want to spend the time or money for a full service meal. The Vindaloo and Yellow Dahl are our favorites. ”
“ I’d camp outside if I had to. Everything about this place the vibe, the smell, the taste is edible poetry. This isn’t just a ‘we’ll be back’ spot. This is a ‘saved it on Google Maps kind of place. Absolute perfection. 10/10. ”
“ It's a very nice place, with good menu and friendly staff and enough of seating for 30+. It's not very noisy, and you can find a seat to feel comfortable either on the chairs or the couches. There are tables for groups. I liked the food and loved the Indian chai and will definitely go there again for the chai and the gulab jaman (desert). ”
“ I’m new to Austin and was pleasantly surprised by how much my family liked this place. It’s a casual restaurant which comes in handy when going out with two little kids who are starving. We ordered,sat down, the kids food came out first which was helpful, the lemonade that came with the kids meal was so yummy. My girls got the chicken strips and fries. The fries usually come with spices on them but because we hadn’t tried them before I had the spices put on the side just in case. The quality was really good and it was a great price for a kids meal. My husband and I both ordered the Tikka Masala, medium heat and it was delicious. The flavors were great and the garlic naan was very good. I recommend ordering more naan than you think because it’s just that good. Will be returning and had a great first experience. ”
