They can be great... but it takes a lot of work. When my friend said we are going to this place I was excited. I love places that serve you unlimited Andhra meals. I ordered their Special thali.. I was at a very large table and I sampled quite a few dishes. First the Good: Their Carrot halwa was amazing. The waiting staff is polite. Cutlet and Pakora are good. The OK Portions,70mm dosa, Rasam, Beetroot Saute The bad Their thali said they had 3 and a fry curries... I got only see 1 curry and 1 fry. Their Dakshin Thali and Uttar Thali are one and the same. I was surprised to see Pongal and Sambar in Uttar Thali and they were missing in Dakshin Thali. They ran out of Cutlets after I got one(supposed to be unlimited thali) Their fried rice tasted ok.. but I don't think it should be called fried rice...it is some where between Biryani, pilaf and fried rice. Our glasses were never refilled. I am not sure I am going to try this place again. The prices are a bit steep and the food is just okay. I left the place hungry even after ordering an unlimited thali...that says it all. read more

Suprabhat - Suphrabhat special thali (unlimited) - Indian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Recently we had an event and we requested Hotel Suprabhat to cater our event and we are extremely happy that we took the right decision. The food was extremely delicious. Every single dish was outstanding. Don't know how to describe the freshness of the gulab jamoon nor the curd rice. The curd rice was purely divine. It was smooth as Thirunelveli alwaa and every single one of our guests couldn't resist going for seconds. The chappathi was super soft and the kuruma was remarkable. Vadai was perfect. In all, the food was purely amazing and Suprabhat will be always our Caterers. Ramesh & family read more

The food is quite good, and that's the only thing I'm reviewing here. The service culture is not good for a mainstream audience; culturally it's very Indian. There's nothing wrong with that if you are used to it. The food is authentic and worth it. The Madurai Malli dosa is my first choice. The schezuan noodle dosa is also good. I've had other things here that I can't remember. read more

Solid food and service, and I love the fact that it is so close to my apartment! It is vegetarian - only but that shouldn't deter you carnivores from setting foot in! I was craving a good baingan bhartha and conveniently stopped by for lunch. The interior is a little strange given that this is an Indian restaurant but I smiled at the tiki-beach inspired decor. The staff work together to serve you, and all 3 people I came into contact with were very nice. I went on the early side.. Maybe 11:20am? There was only one other table occupied, and they seemed to be new to Indian cuisine. Of course one of the staff went over the descriptions of each dish they were interested in, and I really hope that those two patrons are now fans! I ordered my baingan bhartha which is an eggplant dish, and thought it was great! It isn't on the menu but they will make it upon request. I was charged $10 for it which is a little more expensive than their regular items on the menu, but I paid up and left in good spirits. I will definitely be back and I will tell all my friends about it! read more

After having masala dosa for the first time in Chennai, India last year and thinking it one of the best breakfasts I've ever eaten, I've been wanting to try it in Austin. On the recommendation of an Indian friend, my wife and I tried Suprabhat. While I didn't expect it match what I had in India (due to nostalgia if nothing else!), I thoroughly enjoyed the masala dosa at Suprabhat. We started with an order of idli for my wife and I to share. The order had 3 idli (idlis?), sambar and three chutneys - coconut, peanut and tomato. The idlis were very good, warm and obviously freshly steamed. We liked the sambar and all the chutneys, with the coconut being our favorite. We each ordered a masala dosa. I expected them to be large but these were huge! The dosas came with the same accompaniments as the idlis. The dosas were warm, nicely thin and crisp. To my taste, the masala was a bit mild and could have used a little more spice. My wife thought it was excellent. At $7, the dosa was cheap. The total bill was about $20, for which we ate a lot of very good food. The service was good, friendly and prompt. The food came out fresh and hot. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, bright and nicely decorated, with Indian music playing. We really liked Suprabhat and look forward to returning to try other dishes. read more

Good service, Hot and tasty Vadas. Overall good delicious vegetarian food.Excellent ambiance. Upma pesurratu dosa was well made. Dakshin Thali cuuries were fresh. read more

This is probably my favorite Indian restaurant in Austin and I'm not vegetarian. The kids purri disk is huge and my daughter loves it! We get mango lasso every time we come here and it is devoured immediately! The chai masala is a wonderful treat after enjoying our paper Dosa and butter masala paneer and I love their thaili plates! read more

Went today for lunch, and it was sort of a miss. Menu sucks; no photos for newcomers, no lunch specials, no buffet to try multiple things. I ordered samosas, which were ok but pretty oily. Main dish was veggie Korma which was bland, soggy, and gross. Seemed like split pea soup, no cashew taste whatsoever. Did not finish it. Spent like $22 for this meal (including tip), and frankly would have preferred just about any other Indian food over this place. Even Tarka, the Indian fast food joint a few blocks away, is far superior to this. Won't be back. read more

Great food. For those who wanted to try Indian vegetarian food - this is the best place to be. Must try - Poori with Aloo curry - Pongal - Rava Dosa read more

Suprabhat - Fallooda - Indian Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been having a craving for Indian food lately. Today, I indulged in the Executive Thali at Suprabhat. It was so good! The fun thing about Thali is that each time it is different. Today's had Lemon Rice, Aloo Palak, Dal, Sambhar, some type of pudding that wasn't a dessert, plain yogurt, lemon pickle, papadam, puri, and a ton of basmati rice. All for $10. I also got a free fountain Coke just for checking in on Yelp. :-) I have not had a negative experience here. I do agree that they usually do not check on you, but the girl did come by today and offer to refill my Coke. I think that it is more cultural than neglectful. If you get their attention they'll quickly come over and help you if you just ask. There is also an Indian market a few doors down from Suprabhat towards Sonic. I picked up a bag of candy coated fennel to take home. They also have Indian spices, heat and eat entrees, snacks, candy, produce, etc. read more

LOVE this place! Today we ordered way too much but everything was delicious. If you are not familiar with their menu just order any of the items below and you will be in good shape (p.s. the descriptions below are my extremely amateur attempt at describing very sophisticated flavors): Masala dosa= large crepe filled with veggies and 4 sauces on the side. So good you'll smack your boyfriend right in the face for no reason. Chili Gobi= Cauliflower seasoned with Indoasian flavors. This is a spicy dish so ask for minimal spice if you can't handle heat. MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE DISH here. Aloo Bonda- balls of amazement!! Just try it. Mango Lasse- a really really really really good yogurt drink to help cool the spice. Mutter Paneer- The sauce is so rich, creamy cheese and peas. Best paneer in the city. The only thing I've ever tried that I didn't love was the spaghetti dosa. It was just too many carbs in one dish. The restaurant is always clean and the staff is amazing. I can't even explain how much I love this place. read more

I love this restaurant. My favorites are the dosas and the chole batura. I'm sure I'd like other things too I just gravitate towards these items because they're so good that I don't eat much else. Their menu is extremely long, there are so many options. Most of them are south Indian, but I think there's some North Indian food too. Prices are reasonable, about $10 an entrée. Quality of the food seems excellent to me. The restaurant seems clean. I also recommend the mango lassi. I don't really recommend the chai unfortunately. All in all,this is my favorite Indian restaurant In the Austin area, and the one that I recommend routinely to friends and colleagues. read more

Not a best place to eat South Indian food, cold and frozen food will be served to the customers

I shouldn't even rate 1 star to this restaurant. Never seen more pathetic service in any restaurant then Suprabhat. Happened to me twice at Suprabhat. I ordered my food and the server never got it to us. The server sat right next to us chatting on her phone but never got our food. After 30 mins of asking and not getting the food we left without eating. My parents were visiting USA for the first time and with a service like Suprabhat I had to take them out hungry out of the restaurant. Utterly shameful on part of the management as they don't keep a check on the service at all. However good the food may be but restaurant business is service industry and if service is pathetic no one would ever want to go back. Good luck if you going to eat your food here. I am never going back ever!! read more

I guess if you set your expectations low on service and just plan on getting some good South Indian food - this may be your spot The positives - Tasty food - I had the Mysore Masala dosa and Idly Rasam. Both were excellent Needs Improvement - Serving staff were friendly but a little scatter-brained. I waited for about 5 minutes with different people walking by me. I had to actually ask to be seated. - They took my order and delivered my food. There was absolutely no other service. No one came by to upsell me additional items or perhaps even desert. - No one brought me my check so I just got up and paid. There is nothing to tell you that is what they expect you to do. read more

Suprabhat - Andhra Spicy Dosa - Indian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Really horrible, terrible and worst service. Food is okay but not worth to go through the pain of their extreme ignorance to what hospitality even means. It's almost like they take special training on how to treat customers disrespectfully. read more

My family and I really enjoy coming here! We have been going for at least a year and have not had reason to complain. The lay out of the place is nice and the decor makes you feel like you are in a different world. Even the mobile hanging from the celling is an interesting touch. The service is typically pretty good. I like getting a mango lassi and somosas. All the entrees look so elaborate to me. I've been informed that this is just how it would look if you went to India, so it's nothing fancy. Just, what you should expect when you go to an Indian restaurant. I feel like it is safe to say this is one of the best in Austin, I would even say a top 5 for Indian food. If you have never been, it is worth checking out! read more

I like their food absolutely. Once in a while, they are off but that is acceptable. My the biggest complain about them is their ability to take orders on phone. It has happened three times with me in last 3 months that I called them to place an order and they didn't pick up. I went some where else. Many times, I have seen them not picking up other incoming call when I am in queue to pick my food. That is not acceptable guys. You need to respond to the calls. read more

What an amazing understated restaurant! They have an amazing thali and yumm dosas. Kids menu is great. I can't believe this thali is $12 only! If the hakka noodles are anything to go by, their indo Chinese will be awesome. Coming back to try that soon. Also, the guy at the reception is super polite and helpful! read more

Best South Indian Vegetarian Restaurant in all of Austin! I've been coming for many years and will continue to come for many more!

My family and I have loved going to Suprabhat for the past few years. I had consistently received good food and decent service since they opened their doors. I want this restaurant to be successful and expand, but not with the food and service I have received over the last 3 months. I have received cold dosas, raw masala vadas, appetizers arriving with dessert, and many such examples over the last 3 months. I believe they want to do the right things and make sure the customer is happy, but there is no leadership to teach the employees and to make sure they think the same way. Your employees are in the service industry, make sure you teach them a class or 2 of customer service. Most of these people look disinterested in working here (break a smile once in a while). There is one manager I see all the time, but if he is on a break, you better pray. Another problem I have with Suprabhat is why in the world do you need to pre-fill all your water cups in advance. They will stay next to your soda machine completely uncovered until you have a customer, which could be hours. And what about the unused water cups/kids cups? All that water goes down the drain? Similarly, the water jug left on the table usually has stuff at the bottom, because it has been sitting there since the doors opened, or even longer. I hope the manager or owner will have a chance to read this review. Again, I want Suprabhat to succeed and expand their base of operations, but do it the right way. read more

Restaurant with 0 hospitality, 0 taste. Prices are just overrated and are beyond their actual value. I won't recommend this restaurant. It took about 45 minutes for them to prepare our order. The chutneys which came with Idly are VERY VERY salty. We hardly ate anything and left everything as is and rushed out of this restaurant. WORST SERVICE! read more

Extremely horrifying experience on Sunday June 20th 2021. We placed a big to-go order for lunch at around 3 pm. While eating food with my family, I noticed a cockroach in the sambar. I was absolutely shocked and asked my wife, who had also started eating, to open and check the other containers. To our disgust, we found two more roaches in one of the container. We stopped searching anymore, as this was just plain gross. I am posting pictures here for the public to be aware, but FYI they are absolutely gross. We called the restaurant, and not only were they rude, but even refusing to acknowledge and apologize for the complete lack of honesty and hygiene standards in their restaurant. I have complained to the Texas Health Department, City of Austin and the Better Business Bureau. I hope they are held accountable as multiple reviews on facebook and google suggest they are a repeat offender. Yelp does not allow a zero star or else I would have done so. read more

If you are looking for a place that will help feed your kids right away when they are cranky and with the right level of spice that the kids (1-12 year old) can manage, this is it. We came here first when my older one was 1.5 year old and both my girls come here. With the new management, the food is even more tastier esp the chutneys. No restaurant except Suprabhat gives ghee with kids idli and less spicy chutneys that the kids can finish and not waste - my kids eat idli, dosa, pongal, poori or rice with paneer curries. We go home and wake up with no bellyache. This is a blessing for busy moms. read more

Went today and the lady at the counter was standing idly just looking around. She dint even bother giving the menu or water. Just kept staring. A good 20 mins later she asked for the order. Still no menu. Then she gave the menu finally. The food was cold. I ordered dosa and it was not even warm. The chef definitely has changed cus the food was a lot better last time around. Just bad food overall with the hostess having a huge attitude problem. Never coming back here! read more

Food is great but the new staff is unprofessional and shady..had multiple pickup with doordash where they mark something "ready for pickup" when they haven't started cooking to fake their doordash stats..most recent visit I rushed to pick up since it was marked ready, and I end up waiting 30 min in the store...manager was unprofessional and couldn't explain when I called them on their shady practices read more

They have great customer service! Extra care every time we come. I love many of their dishes. Lunches are the best. You must try everything. I go often and the service is on point every time. Best idle and paper dosa's in town!!!!! read more

Worst catering services. Food quality is disaster. Items were missing from the request we placed. 271 bucks in trash. Please never ever try this place for catering service. Unanimously food rejected by all the guests aged from 6 to 60. Finally the attitude of the lady who gave the food. She has bare minimum knowledge of what is customer service. I wish they close the restaurant and try to learn manners and cooking. read more

I would have give 0 stars if I could. We went to the restaurant at 7:45 PM thinking we'll make it with plenty of time left for our movie at 9:15 PM. We placed our order at around 7:50 PM. It was a paper dosa, a chole batura, a combo 4, a Guntur idli and a aloo poori. The dosa and chole came in at 8:20 and our friends were stuck waiting for the rest of the order. We waited till 9PM and were forced to cancel the aloo poori. It was the worst service ever and it wasn't only us. People all around us were complaining about the wait time. We are never going back ever again. read more

After reading the bad reviews I was little hesitant to go. But surprisingly I had a good experience, it is not a top notch Indian place. But for the price they are serving quality food. I will visit again!! read more

Service has drastically improved from what it used to be. I feel the food used to be a bit better but it was still good this time around. Tried the thali and rava masala dosa. Dosa was definitely better than the thali. Overall a great vegetarian option in the area read more

Terrible service. You'll regret visiting here. They don't provide anything. You have to get your own silverware, napkins Food served was cold, and manager got offended when we asked him to warm it. They had internal miscommunication and brought food that we never even ordered and charged us for that. Not even an apology for that. read more

The Veg Soft Noodles were simple but yummy. The Schezwan Dosa had more of a kick than expected but tasted good.

The service here is terrible. We ordered pakoras and were told it would take 15 min. We ended up waiting for 1 hour and the pakoras were pathetic. read more

incredible food, and a huge menu! really some of the best indian, pakistani, and indo-chinese food available in austin, extremely highly recommended. service was great, friendly and fast, and the atmosphere in the place is really fun, laid back and relaxed. honestly a real gem, and the fact that it's all vegetarian is great too. GO HERE! read more
