Kids love the butter chicken. We've also catered from them 2-3 times for large parties 100 people and it was all really good. While the restaurant and food are good, their outside, parking smells of gutter. It's quite a stink. They don't have a business next to them. Not sure what that is however seems like a health hazard. The city should definitely check.

First visit, on a Monday, so pretty quiet dining. Pretty basic setup with menus and drinks,…read morefriendly staff was attentive and welcoming. The Hop Queen ordered the non-veg lunch special, butter chicken, and I ordered the Vindaloo (spicy), as this is my usual litmus test for a new Indian restaurant. Everything was prepared fresh for us, nothing tasted like it had been prepped before we arrived. Lots of fresh spice flavour, and the naan was a bit different (in a good way) from other places - nice texture and crunch with the flavour. Lots of interesting looking items on menu, it was a nice touch that almost all were ID'd with a specific region in India. Would be fun to work through the menu and try different items!

I've been able to try this place a few times in the past. I usually get the Samosa Chat which I…read morereally enjoy. They pile on the sauces so it's very flavorful. I've also tried their samosas by themselves and they are pretty good. They are comparable to what you would get at an Indian restaurant. This time I decided to branch out and try the Sev Puri, which was just okay. I liked the flavors but I wish it was warmer. I think the toppings made the dish better. This is a food truck located near a gas station, so you might have to actively be looking for it. They also have plenty of tables outside so you can eat your food right there if you want. Also, the service was pretty quick. We waited less than 10 minutes for 2 items. Would recommend if you're in the area!

I am not sure why this place has so high ratings ! We went in on a Friday evening around 8pm and…read morethere was no one . There was no one even on the reception. We waited for a bit and then had to actually walk in and call someone. We helped ourselves and sat down . And after a bit the same person came over to take our order . It was sad that there was only 1 person as well as they never knew English ! It was super hard for us to explain or ask anything related to menu . Half of the things in menu were not available! Everytime we ordered something the server had to go inside and check if t was available ! It just became super awkward.. we decided to walk out ! It's a simple restaurant but at least they should have someone on front who can talk to customers and take orders !

Still an awesome value for the quality and quantity of food we get, and we appreciate the adjustable spice levels! They always ask, and then double check after the food is served, to make sure it's what you wanted. I like extra spicy, and they gave me the "make the gori cry" level, and the Hop Queen likes extra mild, and it fits her tolerance well.

Food - 10/10: Easily some of the most authentic North Indian food I've had in the Austin area…read more Every dish was packed with flavor and tasted freshly made. The portion sizes were generous too, so you definitely get good value for your money. Service - 10/10: The service really stood out. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about our experience. They checked in on us throughout the meal without being intrusive, which made us feel well taken care of. Ambiance - 7/10: The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and welcoming, but the atmosphere is fairly simple. It's not a place I'd choose for a fine dining experience, but it's perfect for a casual meal with family or friends. One small change that could make a big difference would be swapping the bright white lighting for warmer yellow lighting--it would instantly create a cozier, more inviting vibe. Overall: If you're craving authentic North Indian food in the Austin area, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Great food, excellent service, generous portions, and a satisfying dining experience. I'll definitely be back!

Had dinner at Tandoor recently and really enjoyed it. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was…read moreclean and relaxed, and the service was very friendly. The biryani was especially good -- the chicken was moist, flavorful, and literally falling off the bone. The paneer tikka masala was also a standout and full of flavor. Portion sizes were generous and the prices felt like a great value for the quality and amount of food you get. The only thing I'd personally like to see changed would be fountain drinks and ice water instead of canned or bottled drinks, but that's a pretty minor thing overall. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

As an Indian person myself, I can confidently say the food here is very authentic and reminds me of the flavors my mom cooks with. It's also filled with Indian families and customers, which is always a good sign that the food is the real deal! On my visit, I ordered the egg curry and a dosa, and both were excellent. The egg curry was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, while the dosa was fresh, crispy, and delicious. They also have a wide variety of vegetarian options, so there's something for everyone. The food tasted fresh, the portions were satisfying, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Overall, this is one of the better places in Austin for authentic Indian food. If you're looking for tasty, freshly made dishes and a genuine Indian dining experience, I highly recommend checking it out.

I got a Chole Bathure and it was fine. My main issue was the service. It just took far too long for orders to be placed, items to be received, and even simple things such as water & silverware to be provided to us. There was no organization or process of sorts with the staff. The same people at the front seating people are also taking orders.... something doesn't feel right. Places near me in NJ have figured this out, but this weekend staff have not. Also, it was weird that 2 of us ordered masala dosas, yet one arrived 10 mins before the other. Made absolutely no sense.

My order: road-side mushrooms Rava dosa Kalakki Parotta Simply fell in love with the mushroom because of that authenticity. They were so juicy and tasty and the curry leaves were good addition. Rava dosa was great and when paired with chutney it was good. The parottas did not taste real good. It had a wierd after taste to it. That is the reason why I lowered the rating. Will return and try the other dishes. Service was impeccable and was on-time! The dishes were reasonably priced.

This place is right around the corner so I decided to give it a whirl…read more I ordered online, and got there to pick up at the time it said it would be ready. There was one customer waiting, and not another person. I waited about ten minutes. My son loves chicken Tikka masala, so we ordered him some. It is spicy. I'm into a moderate spice, and this is burning my lips as I type. There was no option when ordering online to determine level of spice so we weren't ready for that. Beyond the spice the chicken was tough, so even if the spice was toned down the chicken wasn't great. The tandoori chicken is nice and flavorful and tender. $17 for three drumsticks and two thighs might be a bit steep. Overall not an overwhelmingly good experience.
