Went there for lunch on Sunday. The place was quite empty. Clean, with just a couple of families…read more Our food came out promptly. We had to return the Hakka noodles because they were extremely spicy. The server was willing to replace it immediately. The biryani wasn't the traditional kind, but the flavors were great. We liked how everything was priced. While some other places have increased their prices by 25%~30% we walked away paying just right for 1 appetizer and 4 entrees.

Walking into our private-ish room, the ceiling was literally leaking, which kind of set the tone…read morefor the night. We started with the pani puri, and it straight up tasted awful. No salt, no flavor on the boiled, unsalted dal. They gave no chutney, no tamarind, just green water. It was really bad. Chicken 65 was basically desi spiced popcorn chicken. Not terrible, but it needed sauce or something to bring it together. Someone later said we could've asked for sauce for this and the pani puri but if it's supposed to come with sauce, shouldn't it just come with it? We shouldn't have to ask. Chicken lollipop was actually pretty good, just a bit salty. Spice level was fine. Gobi Manchurian was also super salty but still tasted good. I'm used to this coming with a small side of rice, nothing here. Moving into the entrees, no one at the table really enjoyed their dosas. I didn't try them myself so can't fully confirm. The chicken tikka dosa was just a plain dosa with chicken tikka on the side, which felt pretty lazy. Chicken Hakka noodles were very peppery and salty. Good for a couple bites, but not something you'd want to finish. Definitely had much better Hakka noodles elsewhere in Austin. Schezwan fried rice never came out, but we were still charged for it. They did eventually make it, but by then we didn't even get to try it. Someone got Manchurian Chicken from the entree - still did not come with rice. Goat dum biryani - I only had a bite. It was decent. The one standout was the Chicken Noodles & Fried Rice Fusion. Easily the best dish of the night. Flavorful but still balanced. If I ever come back, this is what I'd order. For drinks, mango lassi was good. Sitaphal (custard apple) shake was okay. Both came in prepackaged bottles, which was kind of odd. You have a bar... why not just make them fresh? Service was rough. The waiter avoided us like crazy. At one point we had to send someone to go find him. To be fair, we weren't the easiest group to deal with, so I'll give him a bit of a pass. Also worth noting, everything except the noodle dishes came out room temp, which didn't help. Overall, just a very uneven experience. A couple decent dishes and one standout, but too many issues across food, service, and overall execution to overlook.

They changed their menu from time to time, I do believe it's a seasonal choice and every time it's so fun the new salads and wraps they put together to choose from. They also have build your own, but I find that their combinations just pop the way they're marrying flavors. They have a generous beverage bar and they also sell juices. I had a beautiful salad and my son had a wonderful rap. We also got some hummus, which has a blend of olive oil in it and it served with carrots and celery. It was amazing! Their dining room is so comfortable and welcoming. They have a club where you earned savings. I was so pleased to find out today that I had to buy one get one free that they gave me for my birthday! I must've overlooked that email. It was a very nice surprise. I can't say enough nice things about mad greens!

The star of the show was the sweet man who took my order over the phone. sometimes when you call instead of placing the order on line, the person on the other end doesn't seem very happy but this gentleman was so kind, it was refreshing!! Even though I mispronounced pretty much every dish name, he was sweet and knew exactly what I was talking about. It really is lovely to interact with people like that.

I have heard high praise from locals, and at the end of the day, nothing beats a city's local diner. It is one of those places that closes by 3 pm every day and feels perfect for brunch after a Sunday church service. I came in a little after 11 am with the man who is basically the face of Hutto at his request. He has lived in Hutto for years and has countless stories of the city to share. We sat as he shared stories with my co worker and me about the history of the city. He is a wonderful man, and if he thinks Hippo Cafe is a must visit, DAMMIT, it is a must visit. The place feels ripped straight out of the 80s with artwork of musicians including Elvis and Willie Nelson, along with Alf, ET, and Gizmo. It is definitely dated, but in the best way. Looking at the menu, they have everything you would expect a diner to have. Everything is decently priced and affordable. I ordered two breakfast tacos and a tea. One was bacon, egg, and cheese. The other was chorizo, egg, and cheese. They were not winning any awards, but my god they were like an omelet on a tortilla. They were filled with eggs. With a little picante sauce, they were great and felt like a classic diner meal. The service is great. Our lady was attentive and very friendly to us. That seems to be the vibe here. There's a lot of 1 stars here, but trust the guy with the Yelp Elite badge and the essay of a review, it's not a 1 star establishment. It's more. This place feels historic and gets plenty of love from regulars in the city. You know what you are getting into when you visit, but what does that really mean? You are getting old town love. A classic meal. A feeling like you have been standing your whole life and you just sat down. That is Hippo Cafe. RIYL: Your classic cafe or painting of 80s icons (Alf)

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST AND NASTIEST PLACE I've ever been to. Every single employee was I'm their pajamas - the place was a mess. My family ordered as I continued to look around the more I saw. The girls young girls right were in their pjs! They were throwing food on the ground in the back the floors were disgusting and juat everything was NOT impressive. I ended up not ordering a dam thing my family knew something was up but still ate. They said the food was ok. I have never seen people in their pajamas cooking for a business! WTH?! If they obviously dont care about their looks the food or the appearance of their store they dont care about much. Pita Fusion you came recommended by our car salesman but you all are disgusting and unsanitary!
