What I was supposed to get..thanks Uber Eats for NOTHING.
Courtney B.

I ordered food from this location via Uber Eats yesterday (and I never received my food). While I am more than annoyed about this, it's not on Nala, that's on Uber, and I get that. However, I decided to go into the establishment today and purchase a few of the items I was supposed to receive yesterday, today. Today, I re-order the shrimp vindaloo with rice. *Public service announcement* For the folks who don't know, vindaloo is made up of vindaloo sauce, which is usually made from caramelized onions, curry paste, coconut milk, vinegar, ginger, chilies, jalapeno, garlic, chickpeas, lentils, and other spices like salt, pepper, paprika, and turmeric. The vindaloo from the establishment was heavy on chili flakes which was a let down because the chilies in dishes like these are supposed to be simmered down to create the vindaloo itself. Because of this, the vindaloo lacked the punch that one comes to expect. For me, this dish was mediocre at best 2.5/5 I also re-ordered the Aloo Bonda. These were soggy, and that just wont do for a snack like this. The consistency of this snack alone made it unappealing to eat. 2/5

A lunch plate  -mammoth portions!
Susan W.

Some really good flavors, but personally, I prefer the whole spices be removed before being served, but not sure that is tradition. I was a bit put off after chomping into s few. One thing for sure, you won't go hungry here. I had a lunch plate. I chose the non veg meal. It came with several "small dishes" of accompaniment and an adequate amount of white rice. Here is the actual description from the menu. I enjoy Indian Food but am far from an expert. It didn't come with any naan which added to my disappointment. I did have a Lassi which was delicious. Description: WEEKDAY NON VEG MEALS Sweet, Chapati/Poori, Chicken Curry, Fish Curry, Rasam, Rice, 1 Non-Veg Side, 1 Veg Sides, Curd, Appalam and Pickle $11.00 WEEKDAY VEG MEALS Description: Sweet, Chapati/Poori, Sambar, Rasam, Vatha Kulambu, Rice, 2 Veg Sides, Curd, Appalam and Pickle $10.00 I need to return as I feel like when experience really wasn't enough to help me see the quality Indian food that is likely served. I will post an update when that happens....

Indian and Chinese restaurants are getting hit doubly hard right now because of the pandemic and the unjustified hate coming from ignorance. They need your patronage more than ever right now. Napa's also is handling covid precautions well and packages their food very nicely. In Monday's they have a BOGO free special entree deal. We BOGO'd (that's now a word) the Hyderabad chicken biryani, the chicken tikka masala, and the tandoor chicken. We also go some garlic naan and gulab jamun. This all fed 4 hungry people. Don't be afraid of the food being spicy because none of it is. The naan didn't have much flavor, but it got the job done. I do not recommend the chicken tikka masala. The sauce is very underwhelming with an almost chef Boyardee vibe. I think they tailor this to the Texan taste bud. I added some spicy chili sauce at home and that helped. The biryani was tasty! Each tray came with an entire piece of chicken in the middle and it had much for spice and flavor than the masala. I do wish they had served limes though. Luckily I had some at home. The tandoori chicken had good char marks and was moist on the inside. I wish they had kheer for dessert, but instead we got the $4 order of 3 gulab jamun. They were sweet and soft on the inside. If you're near by, this place isn't bad. I just wish they'd spice things up a bit.

Pepper Chicken( supposed to be appetizer) and family size dosa
Sudeshna B.

Ordered pepper chicken (appetizer) and a family size dosa for to-go. Came back home saw the pepper chicken had loads of gravy, they made it as an entre. In the menu, the family size dosa has a picture with potato fillings in the bowl. The one we got didn't have any potato fillings. The food was okay, dosa chutneys were great. But, I just don't like when restaurants mess up my order.

This is such a disgusting experience, I placed a pick up order from door-dash for idly with chutney and sambar and when I was about to taste the sambar from the container there was a big green fly floating, first I taught it some veggie or something coz they do put some veggies in sambar and to my shock it ended up being a big fly. When restaurants provide with food like this and what if I ate the fly without noticing it ? As this is a restaurant near by my place due to bad rains I taught it picking it up and had to face such horrible incident.

Veg combo meal
Bhoopesh K.

One of the best tasting Indian restaurants in the area. Their veg and non veg combo is the best deal for money. You can also get add ons for the combo. Salon, who helped us with the order, gave suggestions on how each the dishes would be and how much quantity it would be. If you want to get authentic Indian taste and also not to spend too much on your budget, this is the place. Taste 5/5 Ambience 3.5/5 Service 4.5/5

Nice Indian restaurant with a variety of dishes. They accommodate newbies. I requested the dish not be too spicy and they were very kind and offered advice on what to order.

Quite honestly, it was better than the onion dosa...more filling. The Marsala dosa was not as crisp on the outside with folded ends. The potato and peas mixture was fragrant and perfectly seasoned with spices. I savored every bite. This meal was so enjoyable to eat. My server was very attentive bringing me a menu to the table and offering me water to drink. She was very friendly and personable. Only one person came into the restaurant while I dined there. He was getting his food to do. Otherwise, it was extremely quite with virtually the entire restaurant to myself. I was having a early lunch. Overall, very chill environment.

The restaurant is clean, well decorated and ready for your visit! The staff are super friendly. I drove home with my order and it was piping hot and spectacular. Chicken tikka is spicy, mildly sweet and so delicious. A great way to conquer allergy season! The paneer butter masala had a lot of paneer. Many other locals have tiny bits of paneer in a sea of gravy. At Tamarind you will not be disappointed! Don't miss the potato samosas... Come on Austin, let's show these guys more lunch time love!

I asked for my order to be not spicy because I have a toddler to feed as well and unfortunately it was still moderately spicy, so my toddler wasnt able to eat the main dishes :/ The chicken tikka masala was okay, pretty tomato forward and felt a lil bland. The chicken was tender though. Same with the saag paneer. they did give me a good portion for both entrees but it was also not as flavorful as some others ive had. dont think I would come back. Would probably try a different spot next time. In the past I have had Northern Indian food that is creamier and the flavor profiles are pretty different. This spot isnt bad though. Samosas were average nothing crazy, the potato filling was bland and outer shell could have been crispier. They also did not give any chutney for the samosas which was a bit disappointing as well.

We ended up going because the weather was great and we wanted to sit outside. Not a lot of Indian places offer that. It's in a quiet neighborhood so that was good. Nothing to see.
