    The Sankalp is a restaurant group with ventures in hospitality, real estate, packaged foods, and more; and this particular location in Tech Ridge on the north side of the strip mall at I-35 and Center Ridge Dr is likely one of the many franchised locations; this one serves both veggie and meat dishes. They have a standard strip mall storefront; but the design inside is actually quite nice. The booths, while comfortable, can easily be moved when getting in or out of them. Each time I've gone to this restaurant, there has always been someone to greet patrons and help with pickups. I've both gotten takeout and dined in with them once each so far. Interestingly, I found my experience between the two slightly inconsistent. When ordering through their Toast Tab page online, most dishes offer four spice levels: mild, medium, spicy, and extra spicy. The default level appears to be medium which I would recommend based, compared with spicy, given my testing so far; the difference as far as I can tell is that yes, spicy will be spicy, but the base flavor will change from something that is fragrant to something that tastes mostly of straight chili peppers (and not the fruity type of chilies); the chilies cover up the base flavors. However, when ordering inside the restaurant, they did not mention spice levels, so I'm not sure of what spice levels were utilized. For takeout, I've ordered the following and also noticed that estimated pickup time on their to-go orders are not very accurate; I arrived 20 minutes after the promised ready time, and I still had to wait about 10 minutes before the order was ready. They have a pretty comfortable sofa to sit on while waiting and writing Yelp review drafts. Kohzi Sukka (medium) -- the chicken was tender; the seasoning on it was decently flavorful; there were bits of coconut shavings I found, but overall it was not as flavorful as it could have been. Corn Methi Malai (medium) -- the corn flavor came through quite nicely, and I was able to taste most of the spices. Malai Kofta (spicy) -- the kofta was soft and fragrant; but the base flavor was covered by chili flavor, no doubt because I selected the spicy option. I'm really not a fan of the chili that they use, especially since it is not a fragrant type of chili. It is possible to obtain spicy food that does not cover up the base flavors; this particular preparation is not it. Chaas -- I enjoyed this drink. It is watery, yogurty, with spices, and it has a strong cumin flavor. For dine-in: Pav Bahji -- I suppose this came as "spicy" by default. The curry was mostly chili flavored, leading to the impression that this was a bland, tasteless curry (when eaten alone). In other words, the flavor had been cooked out of it, and only the chili flavor remained. However, when coupled with the toasted buns the combo yielded more enjoyable bites. Adding the onions and lime juice to the curry did not appreciable assist the bland base. I think the version I received was poorly executed. Cheese Dosa -- it should be noted that all their dosas come with potato masala (whether inside, on the side, or simply excluded). The provided chutneys were fine, though a bit on the lighter side. Chicken 65 -- I tasted mostly chili flavor; the underlying flavors which make chicken 65 iconic were quite muted. Also, the signature crispness was absent. There was a lack of tang in the flavor profile. This rendition was poorly executed. Overall, some common themes I noticed were that their spicy dishes are unbalanced and bland, since the non-fragrant chili flavor dominates. Their "medium" dishes have a decent amount of flavor, but the flavors are not as pronounced as they could be. I suspect if they utilize a different type of chilies, or if they increase the quantity of spices incorporated in their "spicy" dishes, they'll be able to correct for the current defects.

    I'm really picky when it comes to Indian food and I've grown up eating Indian food my entire life. It is safe to say that this is one of the best restaurants I've eaten in Austin!!! I wish their tables were a bit bigger because it wasn't able to fit all the food we ordered but everything was so delicious. We ordered the butter chicken, it wasn't sweet like most restaurants tend to make it and it carried its spices well, the vadas were super fresh and light (i hate vadas but it was well made) their sambar was not watery and packed with flavor not just masala and spicyness that hinders the under layers of it, the pani puris were packed with flavor, and the paneer 65 was one of our favorites. The other was their Paneer Momos!! I've only had momos in India, but it brought those memories back. Honestly a 10/10 on every food item we ordered. For dessert, we ordered the kulfi falooda, which could've been less sweet. They added the roofsa syrup I believe which wasn't needed and personally I found it way too sweet. Nonetheless it was still enjoyable after adding some milk at home! I'd come back here again and again. Our server was super nice to us. She checked in on us and they even dragged out another table to add onto ours because we ordered so much! She repeated our order too. The inside is roomy but the music was throwing me off. They'd play one song hindi, and then the next song would be english Just stick to one (hindi)! haha Love Sankalp!!

    THE BIG: Indian restaurant serving up giant dosas in the Tech Ridge area of Austin. Modern interior feel and plenty of parking in the lot outside. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with a friend and we got to work with eating. We first ordered the vaghar idli which is a steamy rice cake with curry spices. It was alright, I tasted more of the starch than the flavors itself. For our entrees, we got the veggie dosa which was gigantic. Probably 1.5 feet long. The curries we got were the paneer tikka masala and the butter chicken. Alongside that was the garlic naan. To be honest, the naan and dosa was alright. The entrees were great! Also in the middle of eating, the power went out, so we had to zelle our bill rather than using their POS system. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall damage done was around $74 for a bunch of food. I'd recommend coming at least once and trying out their dishes.

    Masala Pappad
    Bhavika C.

    Had heard a lot about this place specially from influencer's ! But I think the food was just decent / good hit or miss. We tried masala papad , Sizzler 65 , Kadhai paneer , soup . The soup and sizzler was good , curry was decent too ! But the lachha paratha was 1/10 . The menu is quite great and extensive . We went on a Monday evening and the restaurant was almost empty . We were a party of 4 adults and 1 toddler . The tables that sits 4 are quit small and get cramped leaving no place to keep water glasses as well ! Service was just ok ! 1 person on the floor and 1 server . Had to ask for all small things for the table like salt or vinegar etc for soup ! Service could had been better! And there is room for improvement in the taste and food as well ! Enough parking in the complex !

    Traditional Masala Dosa
    Kimberly W.

    Did not disappoint! Highlight is definitely the 4 foot dosa (seriously, check out the picture)- it is insanely good. The curries are really delicious as well. The servers are very attentive and kind throughout the meal.

    Poor experience. Over-crisp dosa, fewer idlis, and reheating a half-eaten curry -- totally unhygienic practice.
    Saroja P.

    I recently tried the South Thali, which included idli, dosa, and vada. The vada was decent, but the idli count was reduced to 4 instead of the 6 listed. The dosa, unfortunately, was overly crisp--more like a papad--and even after they courteously replaced it, it still wasn't enjoyable. What concerned me most was the hygiene -- the half-eaten curry was taken inside to reheat and then served back, which is not a safe practice. Overall, the experience could be much better with improved food quality and attention to hygiene standards.

    Mango MASTANI ( lassi)
    Mohammed G.

    We tried both the chicken curry and paneer. and honestly, it's impossible to choose a favorite, both were packed with rich, bold flavors and served piping hot. The Paneer 65 was a standout too. crispy, well-seasoned, and a great pick for anyone looking for a vegetarian option that still brings the flavor. What really surprised us was the bar menu. It's not something you expect to find at an Indian restaurant, but they've clearly put thought into it. My wife ordered the Mango Mastani, and it totally lived up to the name creamy, tropical, and beautifully presented with just the right amount of sweetness. The space is modern and comfortable with a relaxed vibe, and the staff was friendly and super quick with service. Everything felt fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared from start to finish. If you're craving Indian food with traditional flavor, this is a place to go as it will take you back to Indian with its traditional food

    Goat
    Shanaz I.

    Tiny portions and high prices. The goat biriyani was dry as a bone and upset my stomach. There was an issue with communicating while ordering the food. I ordered a traditional masala dosa and the lady taking the call didn't know what dosas are available and then said they don't have it and offered the 3 barrel dosa which was dry and had at best 1 tablespoon of potato in two and the third was an empty shell with chili powder. The sambar was in a tiny container and the chutney containers half filled so maybe not be so pricey on such a small serving.

    Another mega indian restaurant chain with a location in Austin. The menu is huge; so the other review that says this is the Indian Cheescake factory is true on many accounts. I think it's still early days for this place and it hasn't gained the following as Sangman Chettinad has. So it wasn't that hard to snatch a table here during lunch time and I went with a bunch of co-workers so even a group of 10 was seated easily. Since i wanted something light for lunch went with a dosa. I got the three dosa special and got to try 3. All had pretty good fillings and they were pretty crunchy as expected. The dipping sauces were good; though could be more spicier. They even have the 3 foot dosa. They also have curries and other typical indian fair (a mixture of north and south dishes). Some of the more complex or time consuming dishes were not available during lunch like goat.

    Sizzler
    Zermin A.

    What a complete treat! Will be back just for the experience of the 4ft Dosa! At first I was skeptical, is it worth the money, will it be good, I mean when they make it that large it may not be crispy... I was wrong on all counts! YES it's worth it, it was crispy fresh and fantastic! Definitely worth every penny and off the charts food! The pani puri shots was a great experience too! The puris were so fresh and crispy! I was amazed at how fresh it tasted! The sizzler was delicious! But probably my least favorite. The sizzling brownie on the other hand was out of the world! I felt I was eating a Matilda cake! So chocolaty and goovey! We devoured it! Service was fabulous! The ladies were kind and courteous. The owner/manager came and checked up on us! Ambiance is good for an Indian restaurant it was standard. Overall we loved it and can't wait to go back and try more items!

    A brand new Indian restaurant! A friend said it's like an Indian Cheesecake Factory, and I can agree because of the beautiful interior and extensive menu. (Better lighting and more modern decor). We went with a traditional masala dosa and was satisfied with its giant portion and various dipping sauces. We def want to come back for a date night!

    Chili Momos

    Food was not very flavorful had some spicy-ness but not much else. Like there was no salt or seasoning other than gram masala. The chili momo was probably the only thing that was good. Ground chicken inside a pastry fried and than tossed in a sweet chili sauce. Dosa came out very dark had a burnt taste, it crumbled like chips when we try to rip the pieces. When I ask the waiter he said that how that one is made. But every other dosa coming out is a light brown color. We got the medium spice level which was not hot, both the goat and shrimp curry had the same flavor profile. The place was busy during Friday dinner rush so not much service besides taking order and dropping off the food. I did notice a drink menu but not sure about HH.

I will be thinking about this drink for so long, it was thick, creamy, flavorful, but not too rich or overpowering. Very extensive menu with plenty of options, service was very good too. It was a tad warm inside, the music was a little bit loud for my taste, and I wish the water was not room temperature on a hot day with hot food, but really such a great experience and an 'Austin' highlight of Indian food.
