June 7, 2025 review ---…read moreWe visited this place with our friends and got paneer Pulav, rava dosa, poori aloo. We never had Pulav here before but thought of trying because it was listed as new item. My husband was craving for poori so we got the poori aloo and ofcourse, rava dosa is one of the best here so we didn't want to miss that. We got poori pretty quick and were told that other items were coming pretty soon. Rava dosa came after in few mins but it was soggy and cold. You can tell that it's not just came out of tawa. It looked like an old order to me. I asked to call the manager and told about dissatisfaction with rava dosa. He first tried to defend, then I asked him to touch and tell and if it's fresh. He said he will get it replaced and get a fresh one coming. Ofcourse that took 15-20 mins to come. Paneer Pulav was good. Not too spicy and it came with yogurt to balance. Rice was also sticking to each other so it looked like paneer biryani to me but ofcourse very balanced spices version. My friend also ordered the veg keema Pulav but I like the paneer one more. Service can be hit or miss so I'm reducing one star but overall good quality is good. Also when I visited this back in June, they had the buy 2 Pulav at a certain price offer going on. We looked at it later and checked that out cheque had individual priced for each Pulav. Manage gave the reason as we ordered two in 15 mins gap. He later offered us the balance as courtesy but we didn't take it. I think this should have been accounted while creating the cheque in first place. Overall good place for vegetarian south Indian food.

The food is great. It's a real shame I never want to go back…read more Saturday night, prime dinner time, the place is all but abandoned. Despite that, service is plodding, slow and inattentive. The appetizer was served last, and it wasn't even piping hot, as if they had just made it. You only get one tiny 8-ounce plastic bottle of warm water to drink, unless you go out and grab another one out of the pack in the other room. That said, the dosa is excellent, textures and flavors on point. Onion pakoda are crave-worthy, crispy and well seasoned. The spices are bright and bold, unrestrained, and deeply satisfying. It's fantastic that so many options are vegan as is. Unfortunately, the issues with payment was the final straw. I had a coupon that seemed to completely flummox the poor guy, and while fumbling with my phone, executed the transaction with Google pay, which is not at all how I wanted to pay. He "couldn't" refund it, for some reason. It makes me so sad. Seems like a great, family-run place with excellent food. I won't be revisiting.

The banh mi and fried dumplings I got were so delicious and tasted super fresh. The nuns all working at the truck were so sweet too. Love being able to support a place like this. I also loved the grassy courtyard where the truck is parked. It was a little rainy when I went, so it was very peaceful back there.

From fan favorites like Pani Puri and Seb puri and pav bhaji to the signature Bombay Sandwich and Puri Bhaji and Chole and Parathas, this place has the tastiest offerings. Just mouth watering food that is amazing and tasty. Located conveniently off of I-35 in Austin so easily accessible barring traffif, with ample parking, you will love their selection. They have carrot halwa which is just incredible desert. Vada Pav is another amazingly done dish. The gentleman taking orders feels like your uncle Ben in how calm and friendly he is. Definitely must visit as once you do you could become a regular. it just hits that spot nicely. They also give you free bottled water and food is incredibly tasty.

I have never been here and I wanted to give it a try because they had a veg grilled sandwhich aka bombay sandwhich. My order: Veggie grilled sandwhich Vada Pav Chole poori Jeera Lassi The price was really on the affordable side but the food wasn't perfect. The sandwhich lacked chutney applied across the entire bread and as a result the sandwhich was dry and choking. Loved the filling, but three layers of bread should be oozing with spreads, else it is going to be dry. Vada pav on the other side was really great as recommended and I loved it, wish the bread was smaller because the vada was smaller than the bun and thus the bun was a larger portion every bite. Jeera lassi was great, no complaints here. Chole poori on the other hand was a neutral order. The poori was made to perfection but it lacked salt and the chole on the other hand was perfect as well but it lacked spices, masala and was bland but it was very well recommended. Imight return to try the chaat.

Only downside was the spice level, ordered medium but was a bit too spicy for me . However I think that is how this biryani is supposed to taste, just not the right spice level for me as that's the lowest spice level I could go. Wish they had a 'mild' option. If you can handle a lot of spice, this one is a good try .

The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, making it a great spot for both a quick lunch or a laid-back dinner. Definitely coming back and would highly recommend it to others.

It was my first time dining here, and from the moment I walked in, the experience was fantastic. The environment is cozy, vibrant, and beautifully designed it immediately warm-welcomes you with a relaxed, Mediterranean charm. What truly sets Athens Cafe apart, though, is the service. The staff offered the kind of genuine, attentive kind service that makes you feel like family rather than just a customer. To top off an already exceptional meal, they brought out a complimentary dessert at the end, which was a lovely, generous surprise and absolutely delicious! I honestly couldn't have asked for a better first impression. I definitely recommend everyone check this spot out I'll certainly be coming back!

Carnales, sin carne…read more Carnaless is the new meatless mainstay to put on your radar, slinging tacos in North Austin at daybreak. All vegetarian and mostly vegan, mushrooms are at the center of each soft tortilla, dressed as everything from al pastor to chicken fajitas. The best bites are found at breakfast, if you ask me, thanks to MyForest Foods holding it down with their crazy good mycelium bacon! That, plus fresh and chunky guacamole, and I've never been happier to be an early bird.

Their grand opening was on Tuesday 11/18/2025, and they had a great turn out. I missed out on great foods served that day, but when I showed up hungry as they were closing for the day, Daniel Silva is the friendliest host and owner of Carnaless, still offered to make me a taco and coffee. This food truck has a few seatings, and in the midst of a quiet relaxed space with faux grass and covered with green sun shades, I get enjoy their tasty, hearty vegan brisket taco with fresh crispy carrots, cilantro and jalapeño slaw. I felt wholesome surrounded by the dried mushrooms and eating healthy organic food. A story was shared with me about the Carnaless 'brothers', by their brother from another mother Elliod, and how they were up early to prepare for the grand opening and happy with how the community showed up. And I can't help myself wondering about all these other amazing sounding wholesome foods they have to offer from their breakfast and lunch menu. So I will definitely be back to try out more.

I've been going thru all the birthday deals on different apps and Toast had $5 off at Buddha Burger…read moreso I decided to try it for the first time. It's a large food trailer at the corner of Metric Blvd and Cedar Bend Dr in North Austin area. I got The Awakening burger from their "Forbidden Menu" which has a bunch of different bold burgers. The Awakening definitely lived up to its name since the deep fried battered jalapeño and the Awakening sauce are very spicy (and delicious). The patty isn't huge and is a smash burger style, but the burger was filling and bun was very fresh tasting. I even ran into a nice guy at the window for the pickup and we recognized each other from when he was a manager at Sonic. He's definitely at a much better place now with Buddha Burger! They also have a picnic table area with some shade if you choose to eat before you got the road again. And the corner isn't too loud, I'm fact they even had some music playing.

No one smiled and borderline rude. We had ordered: *Pork Eggroll: 3/5- the eggroll filling to wrapper ratio was spot on. The eggroll was traditionally vietnamese but I do not get why the vietnamese eggroll is served with a sweet and sour red sauce. The sáuce was overbearing and made the eggroll not good. I wish there was fish sauce which would have complimented the Eggrolls more. Also, the eggroll was borderline cold and slightly warm. It wasn't freshly fried and serve. I think the eggroll was fried and kept under the warmer light to grab & serve. *Hu Tiếu Ấp Chào - 2/5: the noodle was like a patty and was super thick. The noodle was oily and not cohesive with the dish. The broccoli and veggies absorb the watery sauce but the noodle patty didn't get any of the sauce coating. I wish the noodle was coated with a thicker sauce. The flavor was good. The beef was tender and good. * General Tso Chicken- 1/5: a friend got this. I tried a piece and the chicken was super dry. The sauce flavor was decent. * Hu Tiếu Ấp Chào with tofu: 1/5 tofu was not seasoned or coated with the sauce. Tofu was toss in as an after thought. Food came out quick. Would I recommend this place? Honestly I would like to try their other traditional vietnamese dishes but the service made me not want to come back. One of my friend couldn't eat with chopsticks so we were trying to catch our waitress attention. She ignored us so I had to get up and walk up to ask her. She didn't seem happy I was disturbing her and before i could finish my sentence to ask for to-go boxes she had her back to me. I had to turn to the other staff and ask for to go boxes. The other staff said what?! In a shortly tone. With my encounter I can't confidently say I recommend this place. Wish I had a better experience.
