Usually order the family pack biryani .. love their chicken dum biryani.. always tasty.. not too spicy

My husband and I recently moved from Phoenix to Austin and wanted to celebrate with a nice dinner. We found this spot just under a mile from our rental, and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely amazing, the service was outstanding, and everyone was so friendly. They offered great recommendations, and the ambiance made the experience even better. read more

Criminally underrated. Best Indian north of the river (yes, much better than Clay Pit). I love their Tikka Masala and Dal Makhni. They recently renovated, and the space is much brighter and family friendly. Servers are nice and attentive. And last (but not least), very reasonably priced. read more

Very good service and good food The people there is nice and very clean place Would highly recommend read more

Unfortunately i think there are better indian cuisines out there in Austin. It is definitely more authentic but the amount of spices they used in every dish we ordered was a bit overwhelming to me. The dosa here is crispy but the three sauces that came with it were a miss to me. We also got the lamb curry which was again super heavy with spices than what I am normally used to in Indian curry that i think took away from the dish. The garlic naan was definitely the highlight as it was crispy and fluffy. The dessert however was way too sweet here and the gulab jamun i've tried at other places you are definitely able to taste more of the rose water in comparison. Overall, the service was really good and the servers were nice but the food here is just ok. read more

Pleasantly surprised with this place! It feels like a struggle finding delicious Indian food in Austin so I'm glad this place was a hit. We got the chicken biryani and reshmi kebab both of which were full of flavor. The kebab was especially soft and juicy while the biryani had some oomphf to it. Only complaint would be that the salaan and raita were so so watery. read more

The food here is lacking a lot. I'm unsure who's the blame but I used Uber eats too pick up dinner the other night. An had 3 different drivers show up the first two ended up leaving because the order was not ready. Mind you it was just a single order meal. I myself called and could not get through I even asked the second driver to ask the front desk to make sure the order was received and was ready. When that driver asked they were told it would still be 10 more mins which was a Lie as it turned into 15. After the third driver shows up the order was still not ready. It took forever to get help with this order. Never again will I go or order from this place The food showed up extremely cold. I was surprised at how they must not care about on line orders. read more

Food was excellent! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself, family, friends, whomever to a meal here. Looking forward to trying more dishes from here! read more

Went for lunch there few days ago. The food was good. Spice level was on the lower side. Which is what I prefer. Food came out pretty fast and service was good. Staff was courteous. Decor was okey they were already doing hearts everywhere while it was still December. What I did not like is they start cleaning up the table while some of us were still eating. What's wrong with that ? They weren't doing it discreetly. While I was eating a long hand came over my plate to grab the plate of person on my side. Lol none the less that's not gonna stop me from going back. I Recommend this restaurant for the food. read more

We had a great dinner here! Love the Sag Paneer & Tikla Masala with Naan. Definitely would like to come back for the lunch buffet on the weekend. Great service too. Fast! read more

We went here for the first time tonight for dinner. It was a relaxing atmosphere with friendly service. I had the Murug Tandoori Full Grill and the chicken was perfectly cooked with just the right spice! So delicious! The boyfriend had Sitara Dum Mutton Biryani and he loved it! We shared our meals and there was quite a bit left over for tomorrow! They serve them as they are ready, so they tandoori came out first. We were excited when the biryani came out & didn't get the picture until we had already dug in - LOL. We will be back! read more

New Sitara - Indian Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is hands down the best Indian spot in Austin. My friends and I came a while back for a sit down dining experience and were disappointed to realize it was a buffet. The hostess/ manager? Convinced us to give it a try and I have to leave a thank you here for her because now I cannot get enough. We come to New Sitara pretty regularly on Saturdays now for their lunch buffet, where they have fresh samosa chaat and dosa made in the dining area by a live chef. All of the Biriyani is made fresh for the Saturday buffet and they have plenty! You can pick any item on the buffet line that looks good to you and it will not disappoint. And don't forget to finish your meal off with a hot masala chai The vibes are also great. GREAT friendly staff, great ambiance. Music is pleasant and not too loud, and even when there is a wait, it goes pretty quickly. I love this place and will never shut up about it. Do yourself a favor and eat here!! read more

Even when there is a small wait at the door, it is WORTH IT! We love coming here & trying all the new food every week. They have a live dosa station where they make it fresh in front of you, huge vats of fresh made biryani, from veg to chicken to mutton. They have a big samosa station where they make samosa chat & we crave it!! I love the diversity of the north and South Indian food. I just finished eating here & I'm already ready to come back! read more

Honestly what an experience! Came here on a girls night and the food and ambiance were amazing. As you can see in the pics, we DEVOURED everything. Honestly I don't know what was better if the food or the service. The service was top tier, they were always attentive and we never had to wait long for our meals. They also gave us some sweets to try since we were curious about that item. Can't wait to come again to try their weekend buffet! read more

We have a new favorite Indian restaurant! We stopped in tonight for the first time. My husband had the chicken biryani. It was HUGE and beyond tasty. My kids split a medium spiced chicken Tikka Masala. I tasted it, and it was delicious. My chicken Andhra Masala was spicy and flavorful. The garlic Naan was the best we've ever had. I would skip the chili Naan next time. It was just too spicy. I love spicy, so when something is too spicy, it's super spicy. We tried their sweets from their dessert menu. I don't recall the specific name, but the doughnut one was delicous. Their mango lassi was fresh and tasty as well. All of the portions were very large, and all of their pricing was very reasonable. 13.99 per plate. They were less expensive and offered larger portions than our usual Indian food spot. Their staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance was fun, and everything felt super clean. Except the bathrooms. Not unclean, just not as spotless as the rest of the place. Will we be back? Absolutely. The Tandoori looked fabulous, so that will definitely be one of our selections next time. read more

Second review of New Sitara. We were impressed by their food so definitely wanted to try other food options here. **vegetarian food review** Veg Szchewan noodles - perfectly cooked, veggies were enough, and taste was wonderful!!! Only thing - it's gonna be very hot coz of the chilli flakes in it, so please ask for medium spicy if you cannot have very spicy food. But, if you like spicy, then you will enjoy this dish! Malai kofta- yummy!!! We loved it, the gravy and the kofta were both very delicious! Highly recommend this sabji if you're going here for the first time! Punugulu- we have ordered this before and I think it's a perfect appetizer, it tasted the besttt!!! Love it! What I reviewed last time- Punugulu Mysore masala dosa Biryani read more

This will be my spot from now on when I'm craving and looking for scrumptious Indian cuisine!!

This place continues to be one of the best places for authentic Southern Indian food!! Worth checking it out Chicken majestic is crazy good Some of the best Indian cuisine I have had in years outside of India. Tandoor chicken and lamb chops were very tasty. The lamb curry was insanely good and the lamb tender. Butter naan is a winner :) It won't disappoint Portions were large for the price. Worth the wait and the money (30 deliveries and pickups in a very short time) - place is popular. Highly recommend and will most certainly be coming back read more

Omg the food is DIVINE!!!!!!! Its tastes super authentic and delicious! Makes my mouth water. I usually get the Mutter Paneer and it's the best I've ever had! The inside is very nice and fancy as well and super clean. We were served right away and the lady who was serving us was extremely nice and attentive. They even gave us a free little dessert before we left. That was so sweet of them! 10/10 you guys got to try this place soooooo yummy read more

I heard about this place from a friend. She said it was the best Indian food she'd ever had. I, being inexperienced decided to try it tonight with my daughters. I have NO COMPLAINTS! We were greeted and sat right away. The restaurant was clean and moderately busy. We were immediately given menus and waters. I mentioned to our waitress that this was our first time trying Indian food and that I had no idea what to order. She smiled and immediately suggested to me her favorite things and what we absolutely needed to try. I was delighted! The chicken Majestic- 10/10 Vegetable Samosa-7/10 The butter chicken- 10/10 Dry chicken lollipop- 8/10 Malbar chicken- 9/10 Garlic naan- 10/10, my favorite Our waitress was amazing. I just hated she was a little overwhelmed by how busy they got after we got our food. She did well handling everything and getting us what we needed. I loved everything about our first time here. We had plenty of left overs and took the rest home. This place is amazing!!! Great service, great food. read more

As I write, my full taut stomach looms in front of me as though I need any help reminding myself of the amazing meal I just had. Excellent service, amazing authentic food. Had the paneer kurchan which comes with rice, the garlic naan, chicken biryani that came with raita and dhalcha, and the masala dosa. WOW! All of it was delicious and the chicken in the biryani was so incredibly tender and full of flavor, the raita was creamy and cooling. The paneer in the paneer kurchan was cooked perfectly, nice and firm which contrasted with the tart soft tomato and crunch of green peppers. My friend and I were treated very nicely. Most of the other folks in the restaurant were Indian families which is always a good sign. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

We eat Indian food often and this is by far the Best food we have had yet! Their Chicken majestic is amazing and the garlic Naan is top notch! The Chicken Tikka Masala was very flavorful! The service is wonderful, the staff is very attentive and their recommendations were all amazing! We will definitely be back! read more

My favorite thing we got was the masala dosa. It is this super thin crispy bread with curry potato in the middle. The chicken drumsticks were also good. The andhra masala was a bit too spicy for me but if you like spicy you'll love it. Service was fast and waitress was very nice and explained the menu to us. Chill vibes. It was a great experience! read more

Place was great! We were hit with the smell of incense as soon as we walked in, and the restaurant was well decorated, cheery, and homey. As we sat down, we noticed there was a lunch special so we ordered the biriyani special, and my gosh the amount of food was great. I've never had dosas before but I can safely say the crispy exterior with the soft interior was a win. The potatoes inside were flavorful and soft which was a nice contrast to the dosa. When our biriyani specials came out, we were hit with a nice sample of everything. To be honest, I wouldn't be able to recognize everything that was placed in front of us but all of it was decently seasoned, flavorful, and plentiful. Garlic naan was fresh and soft and our egg bajji was nice and crispy. The service was great to with the waitress coming back not overly much to check on us. Even gave us free dessert at the end which was a super nice touch. Overall, would definitely recommend New Sitara! read more

This place was truly incredible. And super busy on a Sunday with full tables. Recommend going family style and ordering several things to share. They have so many items across Indian cuisines you will certainly get whatever you come for read more

When you walk in, this restaurant has great service and very very friendly and attentive staff. The curry's are very tasty. Mutter Paneer is always my favorite. Some of the food is very spicy so I recommend asking for the least spicy dishes if you don't tolerate heat. We ordered mild heat and it was spicier than expected. read more

Tasty Indian spicy food. Great service. They renovated and the ambiance is even better. Reasonable prices too.

Very disappointed on my last visit. The majority of the food is still great. But I can't eat at a restaurant with bad hygiene. Bathroom was dirty. The floor was dirty. They were fixing a table right in the middle of the dining room during dinner service. They were playing a Bollywood movie at full volume such that you can hardly talk. There are Valentine's Day decorations hanging from the ceiling that have been there for a year. And to add insult to injury the service is rude and our rice was served cold. Sorry, I will be sad to leave the good food, but I'm grossed out. Please get your management up to par. Not going back. read more

Fantastic food, extremely fragrant and wonderful rice, chicken curry, and mango drink. The mango drink was absolutely delicious, creamy, refreshing, and not too sweet. The chicken was tender and the curry was so flavorful and delicious. Also, the best service I have ever experienced. The inside of the restaurant is modern and clean, yet has traditional accents. My favorite part is that the garlic naan, rice, and curry was not heavy, or oily, it tasted healthy and perfect! I will absolutely be back read more

This has been our go-to Indian place after moving to the Austin/Domain area. The food is delicious and the service is always good. The menu is huge and covers all the popular dishes from both North and South Indian cuisines. Biryanis - Their biryanis are decent. Family packs come with an appetizer and a dessert offering great value. Tandoori Stuff - We really like their Tandoori platter which has 4-5 types of Tandoor grilled meats. Veg/Non-Veg Curries - Decent. South Indian Specials - Vadas and Dosas are prepared to order and are tasty. Chutneys can be better though. Austin needs more Indian restaurants like this. Until then, this will be our regular. read more

Food and service were both excellent. Dosa was nice n crispy and chutney's n Sam hat tasted nice. Chai was great to finish the meal, will def recommend this place. Nice ambiance TVs we're a bit loud could do without them. read more

3 stars for the service and the tandoori chicken which was excellent. Those were the only things this place managed to get right. Stay away from the chaat - it had a horrible staleness and some weird coconut flavor to it. Their indo-Chinese was neither indo Chinese nor flavorful. The spring trolls were greasy and bland. The masala Papad was over burnt. Their egg bhajji, Malabar paratha and navratan korma were decent. But everything else was average to below average. read more

Food was delicious. We ordered Butter Chicken and it was perfectly mild but flavorful for my wife and my Biriyani had perfectly fluffy rice. We also enjoyed the chicken lollipop. Waitress was very attentive and kind, she gave us very good service. read more

As a vegetarian, I appreciated they catered so many items to me. Hyderabadi food is not known to be the most vegetarian-friendly. My husband loved his chicken and I really enjoyed my paneer. All of the food is a bit spicy, as you expect from Telugu restaurant. Service is endearing for an Indian restaurant - our server cared whether we liked/enjoyed our meal or not. The veg biryani was not amazing enough to write home about, but the chilli paneer and chicken majestic were certainly. read more

Went here after craving some Indian food and we loved it. Gobi Manchurian, sag paneer and chicken biryani were fantastic. The naan was crispy and delicious. We sampled two desserts as well and although I can't remember the names, they were also delicious. We will be going back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone craving some good Indian food. read more

This place is randomly located off Wells Branch. I randomly saw an advertisement in the internet. The dosa was quite perfectly cooked. I respect the decision to separate the filling and the shell. I also felt the seasoning was spot on with all the ingredients. Everything was quick, well balanced, inexpensive, and finally just comforting. read more
