    Food was good. Nothing knocked my socks off, but it was all good and fairly priced. Not spicy at all, though you can request spicy and specify spice level

    Paneer and veggie coconut curry on the left and Mattar paneer on the right. Both are tasty.
    Madi M.

    I took one star for their portion size/price decrease. I get they raised prices but why they decreased portions at the same time... Food taste is still good and service is nice. I am not sure about cleanliness in the back, while waiting I noticed employees with no hair nets and the guy used bathroom without taking his apron off.

    Mirch Masala with lamb
    Ashley M.

    Love the service here! Super friendly and helpful. I ordered the Mirch Masala with Lamb and because this is more "American" I requested it EXTRA spicy (mild if there were Indian chefs back there lol) so it was the perfect level of spice. The lamb was nice and tender. I'd definitely recommend. *Don't forget to check-in for 10% off

    Garlic Naan chicken Tikka Masala and Vegetable Samosas

    I came here today for a little lunch date. It was my first time trying Indian food and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the garlic naan, chicken tikka marsala, & the vegetable samosas. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was great too. It is a very small but comfortable atmosphere. I will definitely be back soon

    Tikka Masala Curry Bowl with Chicken
    Marcus R.

    My buddy and I came here for lunch after stopping by at Spec's to pick up my keg. The wait time here was fast when we came. It wasn't busy at all. I ordered the Tikka Masala Curry Bowl with Chicken and my buddy ordered Tikka Masala Curry Bowl with Lamb. It seemed like he got a lot more protein in his than I did with my chicken. Needless to say the food was very delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. They even had to deal with a rude customer who cut in line in front of us and the customer continued to be especially rude to the staff. However, the staff were professional and still managed to keep their composure with the rude customer. Parking is a breeze a because there is plenty of parking in the shopping center. I want to come back again and try the they items on the menu out. There is definitely some kick to the hot spice. But overall great flavor!

    coconut curry

    One of the better places I have been to for Indian food in Austin. The Garlic Nan is well seasoned, very soft and chewy, perfect to complement any dish! The coconut curry is spicy and flavorful! If my open could use more vegetables but overall a solid option. Grateful for the many vegetarian/vegan options here!

    After trying the chicken tikka masala and the coconut curry Lamb, I do have to give it a 5 star for flavor and also good customer service. I was greeted at the door and had an awesome service. The spices are on point. The three times, dishes were consistent with temperature, freshness of the meats and great portion sizes. It has become one of my go-to places from now on.

    Chicken and Grilled Vegetables with Curry and Rice, and Garlic Nan

    Wonderful food and great service! A relaxing place to eat in, and they also have take out (and are on DoorDash). First time here, but definitely looking forward to coming back!

    Our spread. Top regular portion lamb biryani. Bottom kids chicken biryani.

    Tasty and modern! Had chicken and lam biriyani for dinner the other night. I had the kids bowl - chicken and my partner had the full lamb portion. We both opted for medium level spice. However, the chicken was created more modestly. We also got a side of roti. Over all the rice to meat ratio is a bit high. 4:1 is what I would estimate. The flavors are there. I also got the mango lemonade with my kids meal and it was delicious, very tangy but mango heavy. I added a bit of water and it was perfect. Their craft sodas are delicious! All of our items cost us $21 including tip.

    Coconut Curry (v)

    Tonight, I ordered over $50.00 worth of food for curbside pickup. In order to do this, I was required to download yet another app to my phone. Although I need another app on my phone like I need another whole in my head, I downloaded it anyway. When I pulled up curbside, I thought "oh joy, how lucky, my order is ready" as the app indicated my order was ready. Accordingly, I sit in car and I wait, wait and wait some more but guess what, no food. Therefore, I go into the restaurant and there my food is under the heat lamp. But, that's not all folks; when I went into the establishment, I had to wait in line behind another customer picking up a to-go order but had yet to pay. This may not be a big deal to some BUT I specifically indicated curbside and input the make and model of my vehicle, my license plate type and phone number on the order as required and downloaded an app just to be inconvenienced by going into the establishment, and I already paid before I went in the establishment to boot. I had a specific reason for NOT wanting to pick up inside as I have an immune compromised person at home. That's the last time I shall spend any money here.

The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, perfectly balanced without being heavy. The biryani came in giant portions and stood out with a unique flavor profile that set it apart from the usual versions. The samosas were solid and classic, while the pepper chicken brought a nice, satisfying spice. The chicken korma was especially memorable--different from most versions we've tried, in a really good way. The restaurant is quiet and relaxed for dinner, making it a great spot to actually enjoy your meal and company with your loved ones. Portions are large and great for lunch the next day. Located in a busy shopping center with several popular restaurants, this one truly deserves more love. We'll definitely be back.

We ordered the pepper chicken, Andhra chicken curry, Hyderabad chicken dum biryani and garlic naan. The pepper chicken had good flavor. I should have asked for something spicier than the medium spice level as it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. The chicken curry was good with tender pieces of chicken. The chicken biryani came with two pieces of chicken on a bone and the flavor was good. I will need to come back to try more items. This place was definitely busy with to go orders.

They've recently renovated the space, and it now feels more upscale while still being comfortable and welcoming. Today I ordered a chicken tandoori-style dish, along with the butter chicken and garlic naan, and everything was absolutely delicious.

One of my favorite little touches is the adorable robot that sometimes delivers your food--it always makes the experience even more fun. Between the consistently great food, excellent service, and the refreshed atmosphere, this place continues to be a favorite of mine. I'll definitely be returning many more times.

Even though it's pretty basic amongst so many other dishes they had, I got the Chicken Tikka Masala, medium spice. The portion size is pretty good, and the dish had a generous amount of chicken in it. It also came with a side of rice. I enjoyed the flavor! I'd say for medium spice it wasn't that spicy - felt more like a mild to me. Honestly, I'm pretty surprised to have found good Indian food in Round Rock. Despite the good food, I'm knocking off a star due to the fairly slow service. We were sitting outside so I'm not sure if at times they forgot about us, but I ended up having to walk in the store to ask someone to take our order because no one had come in a while. Our food also came out at different times; the first few dishes came, and then it felt like there was a solid ~5-8 minutes before the rest of the dishes came.

One of the most memorable dishes we had was a special that our server highly recommended--and it was truly a showstopper. I wish I had gotten the exact name because I can't find it on their online menu, but visually and flavor-wise it was stunning. It came wrapped and cooked in a banana leaf, layered with rich, velvety saag, what tasted like thin dosa or chapati layers, egg, aromatic spices, tender chunks of meat, and curry, all melded together into this beautifully perfumed, steamy package. It was served with a cooling yogurt sauce and a chili sauce that balanced the heat perfectly. The presentation alone was gorgeous, and the flavors were deep, earthy, and incredibly comforting. We also ordered the curry goat, which was delicately spiced with a wonderful, slow-building heat. The meat was tender, the gravy rich without being heavy, and it paired perfectly with the simple white rice that let the complex spices shine. The tandoori goat chops were the family favorite by far. Everyone loved the smoky char and bold marinade. Personally, I found them a bit softer than I prefer, but the flavor was outstanding--robust, well-seasoned, and unmistakably tandoori. Finally, we ordered the Tandoori Pomfret to go, and I had it later with rice porridge. It was absolutely scrumptious. The fish was fragrant, beautifully spiced, and still juicy, making it the perfect comfort meal with the warm, soothing porridge. Overall, Subham Chettinad Grill delivers authentic, soulful Indian cooking with layers of spice, heat, and aroma that feel both traditional and thoughtfully prepared. If you're looking for real South Indian and Chettinad-style flavors in Austin, this place is a must-try.
