    This place was absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was full of flavor and the fresh naan. The service was friendly, and the portions were generous. Definitely a great spot for authentic Indian cuisine.

    Navratan Korma
    Sean C.

    Had a few things to pick up on this side of town yesterday and we were looking for a new experience. Found this place tucked back behind my old dentist and a Birds Barbershop. We walked in about 1:00 and it was fairly empty save for a few customers. The waiter was prompt and nice. We ordered a few things-- Chicken 65 (amazingly tender and delicious), the Navratan Korma (veggie curry) at a medium heat, which was just right for me... had a kick but didn't hurt, Raita (yogurt-based sauce) and some garlic naan (4 pieces and delicious). The food itself was stellar. The price was good... was about $42 for lunch (a little more than I'd like to spend on lunch typically, but we wanted to sample more than one dish). The dishes are also made to sample, and the portion could have fed two more people. This is a great option for lunch or dinner with friends or family when you want to try something outside the Tex-Mex / Austin diner scene.

    Lamb Sagwala, Samosas, and Garlic Naan
    Stephanie K.

    A surprisingly elegant retreat tucked into Sunset Valley, with dark marble tables and elevated service. Amy was shy but attentive, steering me towards the Lamb Sagwala - a mild curry (green from spinach, tempering the spice and bringing a variety of other herbal flavors forward). Tender, toasty naan soaks up extra sauce. Samosas are served in twos, a delicate but sturdy crust filled with smooth potato in perfect ratio with green peas. This tamarind sauce is tops! Sweet & spicy, perfectly hanging on every bite. A great option for weeknights when planning dinner is beyond scheduling, hosting larger groups, and date night!

    Goat Biryani

    Medium = HOT! I can't even remember what it was called but it is Tofu based. Enough for 2, absolutely delicious! I remember now it was Kadai Paneer. Yum

    It was decent. The food was alright, not super outstanding. Service is good. The food came out fast.

    Goat Tikka Masala
    Nick G.

    Finally! A really good brick-and-mortar Indian restaurant close to Oak Hill. I ordered the goat bone-in tikka masala medium spicy. With the first bite, I was transported back to the curry houses in Cambridge England, it was absolutely divine! And it was balanced perfectly by the cucumber raita sauce, which I ordered separately. They have a full bar, so I am looking forward to trying out some of the mixed drinks on the next visit. Service is excellent,- polite and professional. The decor is casual , not too bright and I found had an incredibly calming effect, I really did not want to leave I felt in a really good place. I will definitely be coming back here again soon.

    We visited Tandoori lounge for an early dinner. We really enjoyed their curry dishes, garlic naan and vegetable samosas. Very friendly and good service. Yummy food and lots of vegetarian options.

    Channa Masala and Butter Naan
    Martha L.

    The plates were immaculate. I have to say beats any Indian restaurant right now for me. Service was fine diligent I believe it was also one person through the entire restaurant as a host except for the cooks and one expo in the back so I gotta say hands off great service. (Mind my plates we went in) vegan friendly as well !

    Old Fashioned
    KK T.

    This was our first time dining here. The food, service, and atmosphere were fantastic! We had the chicken samosas, garlic naan, chicken saagwala and chicken biryani. Everything was delicious! For drinks, they had a unique version of an Old Fashioned that had warm winter spices. It was super tasty and perfect for a chilly evening. We will definitely be back!

    All you can eat during the weekend
    Thea R.

    A delicious spot! It's not a fancy spot and more of a casual restaurant to bring family and friends. Don't be afraid if you don't see a lot of food in the buffet and it needs a refill. You just ask them to refill or make fresh naan if you want more. Everything I had was delicious. Their tandoori chicken and butter chicken was delicious. The service was very nice and attentive. The cleanest bathrooms in South Austin! I mean it Spotless! I can't wait to go here again. Even if it's a bit of a drive for me...

    Half Tandoori Chicken
    Laura P.

    The food here was honestly pretty good! I really enjoyed it and think that it's a great late night bite with good pricing. I had a half tandoori chicken with a hot spice level which was great, and a strawberry lassi which is now definitely a favorite drink. The ambiance was fair, they had some house music going which I thought was an interesting choice. The service was so so, the manager was accommodating but the server was death staring us and looked like she was about ready to kick us out after an hour. She brought the check while we were eating and having good conversation which I thought was a little rude. 18% gratuity is also included which I think is fair, we are a table of good tippers so we of course added an extra 3% to make it 20! I'd come here again for sure, just maybe would hope for a different server.

    Last night, I visited Tandoori Lounge with my partner (suggested by our friends) expecting dine-in since they advertise being open until 3 am. However, upon arrival at 12:30 am on a weekend, we were told only takeout was available due to maintenance-quite unusual timing for such work. Despite this, we opted for takeout and enjoyed the food at home. The chicken korma was well-balanced in spices with tender chicken, and the garlic naan was excellent. The chili paneer, however, was a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, good flavors but the late-night maintenance notice was odd and inconvenient.

    We called ahead to ask whether we can pickup idlis at their earliest and they assured us that…read morethey'll have them ready by 11:30am (listed opening time). We drove 30 minutes, with the kids, reached there at 11:30a, but no one had even opened the truck yet. They drove up a bit later, shocked to find us waiting (though we had just confirmed with them on the phone 30min prior and their listed time is 11:30a), told us they needed some additional time to unpack the food from their car and setup the truck. Close to noon, they asked us our order again, once again saying it'll just be 5-10 minutes max. At 12:30p, we received our two plates of Idlis. They closed the window so we couldn't even request a status check in between. Thank goodness we had carried snacks with us for the kids. We were curious to try more items on the menu but afraid of the long wait times and inaccurate communication to risk it. Though the freshness of the Idlis is much appreciated, and the sambhar was tasty, this kind of customer experience makes it nearly impossible for us to return. If they had let us know at 11am that they couldn't serve food before 12-12:30p, we would've planned accordingly. Additionally, parking isn't easy here. There are 2 food trucks, with 2 spots nearby and 4 further away. The other food truck was open already so it was hard for us to find a spot.

Started with the Garlic Naan. Heard it was pretty good and I definitely agree. Not only was the bread hot with crispy edges, the flavor of the garlic wasn't too strong but definitely evident and tasty. The Garlic Naan at the south location tasted a tad strange and wasn't as flavorful as the one in the north location, but that may just be an anomaly. My entree was the Dhaba Mutton Curry. You can't say no to bone-in goat. I try to eat different things at restaurants, but after loving it the first time, I had to get it again. The bone-in goat meat is truly tender with occasional pieces of fat. You can really separate the pieces with a spoon. The curry sauce is delicious with just the right consistency to bind with the rice. This dish opened my eyes to the world of goat meat. Seriously. So good. The entree also came with saag paneer (similar to creamed spinach). I don't often rant about vegetables, but this stuff is super delicious. Mix it in with the rice or just eat it by itself, I just can't have enough of it. Can we get endless refills on this? I wanted to ask our waiter, but wimped out. There is an issue with their service though. In the south Austin location, there were only 4 tables with customers, including mine. However, the service was especially slow, specifically after the meal. After showing the waiter our voucher, he put it back down on the table and left. 15 minutes would then go by until they took our voucher again and returned with our check. That's 15 minutes of my party and me aimlessly chatting and glancing around the restaurant. In a near-empty restaurant, speed of service was the last thing I expected to encounter. Other than that, the staff was very friendly and our water glasses were always full.

The flavors were authentic enough though. They have lots of seating inside, and a pretty good size lot out front! They had the order ready in about 10 mins after I made it so they're pretty quick. Overall - not my fave Indian place in Austin but occasionally they send me a coupon and when they do, I go check it out.

    Dismal! Not sure where to start. The restaurant is hidden and does not have proper signs to enter…read more We were welcomed to an empty restaurant with fruit flies and moths As a welcome dish, they gave a basket of fryums, they looked colorful but were bathed in high amounts of salt. My order: Sizzling tikka with Paneer Meen polichathu Madurai parota with veg salna The paneer looked great, presentation was amazing but it did not have any salt! It was not consumable without the side chutney but that was running and not thick in consistency. The meen polichathu was so bitter and gave me a puke. It also had blood stains so the fish wasn't prepped well. The parota was alright not bad but the salna was average. We raised a complaint but not sure if they bothered nor they even understood what our issue was. They offered us not to pay but still we wanted to pay for at least one dish. This just reminded that I had already ordered here on DoorDash and the taste was horrible. It just slipped out of my mind and visited again. To the management: Your ambiance needs work. It's full , boring and not clean Replace the chefs with authentic ones. .. but guess what? Probably they don't want to keep this place authentic since their target customer probably doesn't know the authentic taste and they don't mind?
