Omg! I took my husband here for a date night and I can't stop thinking about it! We sat at the bar and David took care of us. He was so lovely to talk to and gave the best suggestions. He was definitely not wrong when he said anything we choose we will love. The HH has all of the items on the menu for $5 which is fabulous. It is not a huge menu but a great one to start off with a cocktail, beer or snack before you dive into the full menu. Everything we tried was full of flavor from the cocktails to the naan. I had to buy 2 naan's to take home because I couldn't leave my leftovers so sad and missing the great pairing. My husband and I split everything. We started with the HH samosas which came in a set of 2 (perfect, we each got one and didn't have to fight over them). Then we got the Saag gravy with shrimp and the chicken Tikka. My husband favored the Saag and I favored the tikka but both were well balanced and FULL of flavor. We ended with a cocktail each. He got the Whiskey Uncle which I thought was such an interesting flavor profile but it WORKED! I have never had a whiskey drink with peanut and garam masala. I had the Mumbai 75. It was a light and refreshing drink that looks beautiful as well. I took a photo and instantly sent it to 2 people who NEED to come and get it. They will adore it. read more

Nice ambiance, great service, good food - everything you could get at a cheaper Indian restaurant and get more for your money. The queso was too salty and thick but the other dishes had good flavor; sizes were fairly small for the price and choices were also lacking. I think there's much better similar restaurants that are 1/2 the price. It's conveniently located near other restaurants and bars so you can always head there afterwards or grab something from somewhere else instead. read more

Electric Gravy Mumbai Bar & Canteen - queso and cauliflower bites - Indian Near Me - Austin, Texas

This new trendy indian place in east Austin has some charm but definitely could take some time to grow. As soon as you walk in, the decor is striking and has a lot of charm. We ordered their self proclaimed popular curry queso and the lamb chefs special. While both tasted good, they were so oily. Just dripping with oil. It was a little nauseating but after draining out some of the oil, the flavors were very strong and great. They paired really well with their garlic naan as well. One thing to mention though is that while the staff were very friendly, the service wasn't as attentive as I would have liked it to be. Overall, a pleasant experience and I will give them some grace for the spot being a newly opened restaurant. I will be coming back to see how they grow and develop. read more

A friend and I were trying to find a happy hour spot and we came across this on TikTok! Their HH is literal perfection. It's a smaller menu BUT everything on it is all you need for a cute happy hour vibe. It was also only $5 for each item! The samosas were absolutely amazing, we got about 5 orders total because we couldn't stop eating them! The cocktails were great as well, we had the mule and the marg! The service was impeccable and just the whole vibe was immaculate! We are 100% going back and want to try other items on the menu as well. Don't walk RUN!!! 100/10 for me! read more

THE BIG: Located right off of 11th street and near Old Thousand. Very vibey interior with tons of colors. Street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here for Austin Restaurant Week and it was also during happy hour. We wanted to try the samosas and ordered that off the happy hour menu, which is very well priced. For the restaurant menu tasting, we got to choose an appetizer, entree, and a dessert. So we got the curry fried chicken, chicken tikka masala, mango lassi, naan, kachumber salad, and raita. The entree came with the cucumber salad, raita, and rice. Flavors were good but didn't blow me out of the water. Service was also very slow for almost no one being there on a Sunday. That also dampened the experience. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Ultimately, we spent around $52 for everything. Pretty good pricing, however food was alright and the service could've been better. read more

Pro-tip: have your order ready to put in on one shot. Such a fantastic experience! Service was a bit slow, but it allowed us to catch up with our guests. We all appreciated the careful attention to craft with the cocktails, focusing on ingredients other than sugar. The Dirty Chai Espresso Martini and Pudina Pani Marg were favorites amongst the cocktail choices, followed by Samosas, Curry Fried Chicken, and Curry Queso for appetizers. The Queso is one of a kind! I'd you're feeling nacho chips, do not miss out. Samosas are fried well, and the chicken was exactly as described. All gravies and plates were fantastic, you can't go wrong with any choice. And don't forget the garlic naan!! read more

Food was decent and service was just okay. My husband and I came for restaurant week to check this place out! The portion for restaurant week is massive, so we just got happy hour samosas and one restaurant week order. The samosas were fantastic, my favorite part of the meal. The chicken bites were overly fried and the chicken tikka Marsala lacked sauce and flavor. I also didn't like the flat naan. Service was slo very slow. It took a while to get our check and when we asked for our mango lassi with our meal, they gave it to us after our meal. I had to ask for it in a to go cup. Overall the space is nice, and the food is okay, but the service ruined it for me. I recommend only coming for the great HH deal. read more

3.5/5. We tried Electric Gravy for restaurant week and ordered chicken skewers, curry fried chicken, samosas, pork vindaloo, and butter chicken, finishing with a rice crispie treat. The portions were generous and the value was solid, but overall the food was just okay. The naan was soggy and not light and fluffy like I'm used to. Service was the biggest drawback. At 5:30pm with only a few other diners, our server took forever to take our order and gave off the vibe that we were bothering her. For such a slow night, I expected much more attentive service, and it definitely impacted the experience. The highlight of the night ended up being the drinks. The chai espresso martini was excellent and worth coming back for. I might return for cocktails, but probably not for the food or service. read more

I took my son here for his birthday last week and we really enjoyed the food and the experience. It isn't clear where to park but there is street parking and a dirt lot that we think is okay to park in, but we parked on the street a block behind the restaurant just to be safe. The food was a unique/fusion take on Indian food. We had the pork vindaloo, saag paneer, samosas, curry queso, and curry chicken panini. Everything tasted fresh. We of course had leftovers! The mango lassi rum drink was like but a little strong of a rum flavor and the mezcal/tamarind cocktail was just the right amount of sweet. The waitress surprised us with a birthday treat of chai flan which none of us had ever had. We enjoyed it and like that it also had coconut flakes and a coconut flavored cookie! Hope to go back again and try out a few more items on the menu. read more

Electric Gravy is known for their Indian cuisine with a Texas twist. They just launched their new Indian dinner experience where you can try a variety of curries with unlimited refills. Reminds me of a thali. It includes naan, rice, chutneys, curry fried chicken, salad, and vegetable samosa. Basically you get to try multiple portions of their daily curries plus all these extras - then order more of what you like, with unlimited refills at a set price of $37.99. Our dinner included the following gravies/curries: saag paneer, shrimp malvani, chicken tikka masala, vegetable jalfrezi, daal makhani. Both vegeterian and non-vegetarian options are available. Great way to try a variety of stuff! read more

This was another Austin Restaurant Week pick for me and a table of friends. $40 for an appetizer, entree (with rice, naan, and cucumber salad), and dessert The staff was polite and accommodating, but service was a bit slow. The food was good, but it came with mixed reviews from our table regarding the spice level, and that's when we noticed we weren't asked how spicy we wanted our entrees. I enjoyed the malvani chicken. It greatly benefitted from the cucumber salad because the entree alone wasn't spicy enough for me. The samosas were delightful, and the brisket curry was the table favorite. The stars of the show were the basmati rice and the bhel cereal treat dessert! One confusing thing that occurred when we were seated at our table was the fact that the staff kept sitting other parties at the immediate tables around us. They did not utilize the other side of the restaurant, didn't skip a table, and didn't ask if we were okay sitting next to other parties and being privy to every word of their conversations. We asked to move a few tables down and were obliged; It's a small space, so there was no obvious reason why this wasn't done in the first place. It was odd. read more

Great casual south asian restaurant with reasonable prices. Fried paneer was an awesome appetizer. We had the chicken tikka as our main course with garlic naan and mango lassi. I would come back to enjoy it all again! Highly recommend making a reservation. We were a walk-in and the service was a bit slow-- we waited 30 min before someone came and took our order. read more

Cool modern Indian vibes - I can see what they were going for here. I'll say that I was encouraged by a shorter menu than most Indian restaurants, hoping that the fewer items on the list were done right. I was encouraged by the apps being pretty tasty - the vada pav and samosas were decent. However, I was disappointed by the flavors of the mains - the "chana dal" which was just chole/chana, not actually chana dal which is something different, the saag. It fell flat in flavor and was overpriced. They have an impressive list of cocktails we didn't end up trying, but maybe a redeeming factor there? Don't think I'd come again unfortunately, but maybe a yes for white people? read more

We are not tough to please but something's could be better at this place. Lets start with the positives. The Samosas were flavorful. This is where it ends. We also got the chicken naan and the saag paneer sandwich. The chicken was chewy and probably fried too long, although the flavor was reasonable. The saag paneer had no flavor to speak of; it came across as a big lump of cheese and paneer thrown between two slices of bread. Their outside seating is very congested, I wish they removed 2 tables and space out others so I don't feel like I am a part of the conversation people next to me are having. The inside ambiance is nice and there are other things on the menu we might try if we feel adventurous and go again read more

Ahh, I like fusion restaurants. While Austin misses the mark with authentic Indian and indo Chinese restaurant, these guys do a good job. Went here with office colleagues after a long week. Cocktails - I think they could do better. I'd probably give them a 4/5 here. They could definitely go bolder in their flavor profile. I'd recommend the pudina Marg and the kabutat. All the food was great. Probably a 5/5. Highly recommend the tadka fried chicken on naan. We landed up getting another round. The fried paneer was also great with the butter chicken dip. Highly recommend the curry queso but add the naan along with that. Good to see a place like this open up. read more

Checked out this modern Indian restaurant and thought the vibe was spectacular with colorful quilts on the walls and beautiful tiling on the ceiling. Just a really cool and interesting space. Started with the cucumber and tomato salad, which was a great appetizer, lightly spiced and refreshing. Only complaint is the overwhelming amount of onions, I felt like half the dish was just raw onion at the bottom. Tried the grilled cheese with butter chicken. It did not exactly remind me of butter chicken but was still a delicious sandwich. Would definitely come back to try more. It is also in a great location with plenty to explore nearby in walking distance. read more

I was really excited to try this spot for dinner but was somewhat disappointed. The appetizers and drinks were AMAZING but the main meals i thought were a bit subpar. I know this spot is more of a modern take on indian but the naan didn't feel authentic at all- almost tasted more like pita. And even the chana didn't really taste like a normal chana masala- a lot more dry than I would've liked. I will be back for Happy hour, but I just wish the food was a little more authentic. The vibes inside were awesome on a Friday night - definitely packed so make a reservation! Service was also quick at the bar. I would recommend trying at least once read more

Vibe: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Drinks: 4/5 Food: 2.5/5 The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a very ethnic vibe and Bollywood music bringing a fun groove to the place. Loved the Indian flavored twist to cocktails. Food was bit of a letdown as it didn't really capture the authentic Indian flavors as much. The paneer tadka starter could have used a side of tamarind chutney or such and saag paneer was decent but not great. Grilled naan seemed like it was store bought rather than made in-house. The servers and bartenders are very attentive - 5 star service! Pro tip: Make a reservation in advance as indoor seating is limited and the place is packed on weekends. read more

Absolutely worth a visit for the drinks & vibes! Love the colorful decor, fun art, and retro Bollywood style of this new modern Indian fusion restaurant in east Austin. Enjoyed the oldie Bollywood songs they played as well! The drinks were phenomenal, the best part of my experience. I ordered the dirty chai espresso martini and it was just so delicious! I'll be back just for that. Don't expect authentic Indian food here. Go with an open mind to a fusion experience with some Indian flavors. We ordered: - electric fries - masala fries with a slight kick. A huge hit for the table. - curry queso - absolutely delicious and a nice shareable appetizer! - grilled paneer skewer - mild space level yet packed with flavor. A hit with the kids! - saag paneer - very tasty and fairly authentic! - karahi chicken - pretty spicy but good! I would not recommend ordering the naan as it's just grilled pita bread, not real naan. Stick with rice instead. read more

Electric Gravy is located in our neighborhood and is the sister restaurant to one of our most fave places, Old Thousand. They're located almost next door to one another. If you're not familiar with the neighborhood, it can be hard to spot the entrance to Electric Gravy. The facade is reminiscent of a brick office building. Fear not, they've got a visible sign hanging on the building. The exterior has a nice patio area for outdoor eating. The interior decor is light and fresh with total vibes of India throughout. The staff are beyond amazing. Wow. Just some really great folks. There's a long bar with seating as well as standard seating. The food is brilliantly curated by infusing the most fragrant Indian flavors giving everything a wildly delicious taste. The prices are fair and reasonable, especially during happy hour. They've got a happy hour menu with select apps, entrees, and cocktails for just five bucks! The Kachumber salad is one of the best I've ever had. I could eat it everyday! Samosas are perfectly cooked and not dried out like they can be at other establishments. The chutney grilled cheese is crazy good. The pork vindaloo made me feel like we were actually in India! It's that good! Rice, perfectly cooked (oh, I hate an under or over cooked rice). The cocktails!!!! Honestly, they taste like something you expect from a high-end cocktail bar. My neighborhood rocks and so does this small business which I will always support. read more

Came here for happy hour several times and loved it!! I love getting their chaat masala fries and samosas with the maharastran mule!! The curry changes out everyday but the Karahi chicken is my favorite!! It's so nice and spicy and well seasoned. I had their pork vindaloo a different time and it was sour and not very good. The interior is so cute and nostalgic plus they play a lot of throwback bollywood!! Overall definitely coming back!! read more

So this is a beautiful spot on e 11th. The ambiance is nice and the cocktails are excellent. However, as an Indian person, I think my standards for Indian food are pretty high and I think it missed the mark. The saag paneer grilled cheese was good and the fries were ok but the chana masala was one of the worst Chana masala's I've ever had. I was particularly disappointed because this was touted all over ig as one of the best dishes (but by predominantly white influencers) the service was fine but I was surprised that they did not have ketchup for fries or ranch (both on the menu for Other dishes). overall, I'd pop in for a drink and maybe an app but would not come back for the mains. read more

I think I've found my favorite Indian restaurant close to downtown! I visited Electric Gravy on their second day of being open and everything went great. Service was fast and our waiter was very attentive. The food was also really good. We got the curry queso, saag paneer, and the kabutar and pudina pani marg. The curry queso is a must have in my opinion. The saag paneer was also really good, my only gripe with it was that there was too much paneer. The drinks were really strong but I'm not complaining haha The pudina pani marg was spicy and I really liked it. Overall, I had a great time at this restaurant. Will definitely come back!! read more

This is such a cute restaurant, and staff is so friendly! Service was really good. Our waiter checked up on us numerous times throughout the night. I thought the food was subpar, though. The mango lassi's consistency was too icy instead of creamy. My chicken tikka masala wasn't sauce-y enough, and like another review said, the naan was more like pita bread rather than actual naan. The chicken of the tikka masala was really good and moist. The curry queso was quite interesting. read more

Went to Electric Gravy for their $5 happy hour last month with some friends. Liked it but didn't love it. The frozen lassi painkiller was the best drink we all tried, and I must say the curry queso was great. But everything else was just OK or not really discounted from their regular menu. I didn't get to try their main dishes but for a HH it definitely worked out for us. Not sure it was enough to make me go back though. read more

Update: I brought out of town guests here a few months ago and it was a good experience. They even brought out an extra curry for us to try. I just ordered takeout from them - BOGO chicken tikka masala, 20% off $60+, and I would say it was still about $20 more than other places and not necessarily worth it. Edit: I am editing this review because I do feel like the portions were packed with chicken/paneer, whereas other places in town skimp. So I am ok with paying a little more for that. However: The samosas are still small tho, I was also expecting more naan for what I paid - but overall pretty good. read more

Omg! This place was so good. The sign is small so I had to do a double take to make sure I had arrived. I came here for happy hour. Every thing is $5! I loved the pain killer drink bc it's frozen and tasted like mangos. The Mumbai 75 ( a take on the French 75) also very good but kinda hard to drink with all the flower pieces as garnish. I loved the fries and the cilantro chutney was my favorite thing on the menu. Curry queso also really good but I prefer ordering the naan over the chips to dip. Samosas were good but let them cool down before you bite into them. I'm still nursing a roof mouth burn. I liked the tumeric sauce over the cilantro chutney for those. They have a rotating "gravy" entree for $5 the one we had was the Karahi chicken. Great flavor could have used a little more sauce. The desserts were not overly sweet and we were a big fan of the coconut flan that was not on the menu. The mango lassi was basically a mango smoothie. read more

So I went here a few weekends ago in a Sunday afternoon, and it was packed! The parking situation is on the street or in the garage, they validate. The ambiance is so chic and very ethnic. It reminds me of all the cliches you can think of from back home, and it's there! :) i liked it. The restaurant is heavily customized for non Asian palattes, it's not overly spicy but has enough cream thatit doesn't make you puke. The naan was okay! I liked their paneer appetizer but I would only go back for their drinks. The drinks were really nice! read more

Fun and creative menu for both food and drinks. We ordered classics of Saag Panner and Malvani with Shrimp. Both were flavorful and very generous portions that easily could have fed two people. For drinks, we ordered two of their cocktails, which were also very tasty. The interior is bright and festive. The only complaint was they were having trivia night the Thursday we went, so it was very loud (and seemed to be only for a handful - five or less - people). Our waiter was very kind. read more

This was pretty good Indian food, though a little expensive for what you got. My friend and I had the dirty chai espresso martinis, the samosas, the curry queso, saag chicken curry, and garlic naan. The stars of the show at this place were the espresso martinis and the samosas. I found the curry queso to be pretty basic - it's more or less nothing-special chips plus velveeta queso with some curry mixed in. Queso is never bad, but this was not worth the spend in money or calories. Their saag curry was really good, but nothing too much beyond my local takeaway. The samosas, however, were a step above. I think they were double-fried or something was different with the batter than the standard version. And the filling was amazing. The service was good, although they did bring literally all of our food at once - that was a little weird. The ambience was nice, slightly hip, but nothing that blew me away. All in all, I'd visit again if I were in the area, but not sure I'll make another special trip to put this on my regular rotation. read more

Skip this place! Another disappointing Indian attempt of a restaurant in austin Food - bland, not fresh, and not authentic to Indian cuisine - naan is burnt pitas - electric fries- soggy potato sticks with no special chutney - chicken kadhai- super bland, weirdly tiny portion served on unflattering dishwater Service- -extremely slow, had to keep flagging down staff -uneducated on Indian pronunciation of items- it's chicken tikka Not tikki!! Ambiance- got seated in a weird hot corner in the back of the restaurant staring at sad yellow walls read more

The drinks really shine here. I like grabbing a couple of nice drinks before I go out on the town and consume god knows what. The frozen lassi is delicious. Sweet, but I could finish one on every visit and then move onto the next drink. The Kabutar was very good too. It had some flavors I wasn't used to having in a drink, such as tamarind. Having been jaded from the upscale drink options in town, I was quite surprised in that regard. As far as food goes, the finger foods were my favorite. You have to get the Pakora. There are times when I hate fried food, but this was so delicately fried that the batter and salt weren't overwhelming. It pairs really well with a cold beer or drink. The Fried Chicken on Nann was another one of my favorite. Tikka masala was good, but don't expect it to be styled like most other restaurants. I found it to be more mild and had a smokey element to it. The Grilled Paneer was addicting, it left me wishing I could have a velveeta sized brick of it. All in all I'd say it's a great send off spot to get the night started. read more

Honestly this place was just okay.. the samosas were good, cocktails were great, queso was solid. The chicken tikka was super disappointing. The gravy had no flavor and the chicken had wayyy too much char, so it was all you could taste. The Chana masala was alright. Saag paneer was just alright as well. Just not enough flavor across the entrees / gravies. read more
