One-of-a-kind experience! I was recently in Austin, dying for some Indian food, and this place HIT!…read moreThe atmosphere was friendly and inviting. We had the best server, our little group quickly vibed with her! Of everything we sampled, the Samosa Chat and Sag Chicken were my absolute favorite - the spice was on point. Because our group enjoyed spicy foods, our server generously brought us out a unique New Year's drink, and let me tell you, I need to have that on the regular! All in all, a great restaurant!

I'm on a liquids only diet right now, so I was excited that New Sitara had several interesting soup…read moreoptions since I'm finding out that Austin isn't that great for finding menu items outside of smoothies. I tried the Ulavacharu soup--absolutely delicious. It's main ingredient is horse gram, which apparently is in the legume family. It wasn't like any soup I've had before, so description is a bit tough. It was fairly spicy to start with, but less so as I kept eating it. The only things I could identify was ground up horse gram, some sweet onions, and some thinly shaved ginger, but it had a lot of complexity. Highly recommend that and the rose milk (especially if you need some relief from the spiciness when you start out.) I had a little bit of my friend's butter chicken sauce, and that was excellent too. More heavily tomato-based than I'm used to, but a lot of depth of flavor. I'd happily order that in the future. I can't wait to come back and try their buffet when my diet restrictions are over :) Service was great. I asked if a few of the menu items have coconut in them since I'm allergic, and our server double checked with the kitchen for me and was very nice about it. Really pretty dining room as well. The location isn't as central as I'd like, but that does make it easy to find parking in the lot. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic find in Pflugerville. The restaurant is clean…read morebright and comfortable. The host was lovely and helped us go through the menu with suggestions and clear descriptions. The food is absolutely delicious and very very fresh!!! I have a pretty good heat/spice tolerance and I found it highly spiced and fragrant. You might ask for light spice if you're more delicate. We had two lunch boxes, one veg and one not, to sample more offerings, I cannot recommend it highly enough. What magic they do to that cauliflower. Crisp outter coaster without being heavily battered, and tender delicious, perfectly cooked inner. The dal was flavored magnificently. Often it's a sad pile of peas. Not here. The buttered naan that came along was thin and chewy and crisp at the same time and we had enough to take home. The chicken was tender and highly spiced. The potatoes perfectly soft yet managed to not fall apart. Fresh samosas were shatteringly crisp with a fluffy tasty potato filling. The portions are huge even by Texas standards. The value is enormous the prices more than reasonable. This tiny place needs to be high on locals radar I can't wait to go back. This place is going on my rotation

We will definitely be back again soon for fresh and warm food.

Savory curry that's soothing and delicious! Appreciate the extensive selection and great prices…read more Nice portions as we had plenty of leftovers. They had a clean and neat interior with a welcoming atmosphere. Our food came out quickly after ordering. The food was super hot so be careful not to burn yourself. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Channa Masala are tasty! Choose your spice level on a scale of 1-5. We got #3 for medium, which had good heat without being overpowering. Love all the different spices that gave much depth. Both curries were super flavorful, so a small scoop on top of your given rice goes a long way. The Garlic Naan had some subtle garlic flavor and you can see real bits of garlic on top. Would have liked a stronger garlic flavor. Nice flakiness though. It is kind of hidden in the back of the plaza next to the Cinemark theaters. Make the trip over there for delicious curries!

Way to set the bar. My spice level was a 5 and I thought to myself I should've told her 7 but their 7 is my 5 and I like to believe I like spicy food so please keep that in mind. I loved the atmosphere, not too cold not too warm and very welcoming. Customer service deserves its own 5 stars! I will definitely be back to try more things and I can tell this will be one of my staples for when I do eat out. Pictured below, lamb curry with my side choice of rice, chilli momo and garlic & cheese naan. The curry sold the show for me.

The samosas are excellent, crispy and served piping hot alongside both tamarind chutney and cilantro chutney for a sweet, savory, and spicy contrast. My biggest disappointment, however, is that the veggie momo cannot be made vegan. They're stuffed with cheese, which isn't mentioned on the menu. I'm grateful that they're informed and honest about it, but that was my main motivation for visiting. At least, the veggie thupka was tasty, like a meatless version of chicken noodle soup. Comforting, unchallenging, and probably good for kids, too. For the more adventurous, the aloo gobi is not messing around; even the medium spice has a nice bite to it. There only appeared to be one waitress working so service was very slow. Order ahead, or plan to make it a night.

We ordered a variety of dishes to share, all of which had generous portions: - Aloo tikki chaat - prepared and served fresh, this street food delicacy was a delight to try and a great start to our meal. - Spinach pakoras were crunchy, hot and tasty. Our party of 4 devoured this appetizer. - Hariyali Chicken Kebab - this was not what I expected. It was served with a gravy like a curry, when I'd expected a dry kebab dish from the grill. It was not my favorite. - Malai Kofta - yum! Not oily, just perfect. - Aloo Naan - very good, though I would've preferred paratha and was surprised that parathas weren't on the menu in a Punjabi restaurant. Ambiance is nothing to write home about. If you are craving a good, authentic north Indian meal with warm service, Bayleaf is a must visit.

The biryani had good flavor, the mix grill was nicely cooked, and the nihari was rich and satisfying. The restaurant has a spacious, clean, and comfortable atmosphere, and the staff was polite and welcoming, which we appreciated. One small area for improvement: the chai didn't seem fresh and felt pre-made, and the paratha we ordered for our daughter wasn't great--it tasted and looked like a store-bought frozen paratha. Aside from these minor points, it was a pleasant dining experience, and we'd still recommend Zaviya Grill for their main dishes and nice ambiance.

The restaurant is known for its momos, curry dishes and aromatic sauces. Importantly, there are plenty of options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Their creative fusion items, including curry inspired pizzas are their specialties. My soup was quite generous and filling. Prices are reasonable, and the food consistently delivers big on taste.
