    Side of Fried rice
    Preetesh V.

    What I adore about the place is the decor, ambiance and welcoming vibe. There is plenty of selection in the menu. They also offer limited selection of beer and wine. I would recommend to try the Indo-Chinese variety offered here as they specialize in that area. The kebab and curry selection is also fine. The food lacks the wow effect but is decent and acceptable. Overall if you are around the RR outlet mall area, it's worth a visit to refuel.

    Was craving indo-chinese and tried Monks ! I must say , the restaurant is clean and beautiful ! It gives you a very fresh and welcoming feeling. We were immediately seated on a weeknight ! We ordered the Manchow soup, panner Manchurian, and street style noodles, added a side of veg fried rice and we also ordered some stuff off kids menu ! The service was quick & attentive and the food taste was really good and delicious ! The owner or manger also came to get our feedback on the food. The pricing is on a moderate side . We definitely want to be back to try some other options that looked equally interesting. Ample of parking space available around.

    Welcoming, clean, biz-casual ambience... Fresh! So many choices with as many different flavors! #Savorful Went with a not-too-spicy Chicken Masala. Fragrant... perfect. The male server, Naveen, was pleasant & quick with the order... happily, bc I missed breakfast & my body needed fuel. Ample parking, if you get here when they open. Otherwise, you're competing for space with patrons of nearby restaurants & other retail spaces.

    Dirty tables dirty windows, spit on them what a disgusting place food on the table from previous night service. I can't even imagine what the kitchen looks like.

    Street Style Rice w/ chicken and egg.

    Fantastic, quick and friendly service. Will eat here often! Delicious first dish. They have many I look forward to trying.

    We visited Monks for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the range of flavors -- their Chicken butter Masala and Garlic Naan were both fragrant and satisfying, and the Indo-Chinese dishes had a nice balance of spice and umami. The space is clean with a comfortable vibe, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back to try more from the menu!

    Visited this place and bought a food. The food has trash and it's not meat. It's like fat bait so gross and a seed !!?from leftovers- the rice isn't fresh. Their menu includes meat but they don't have it. Sadly they don't care the customer. This place doesn't have the standard safety food hygienist. They served leftovers.

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.

They even have a robot waiter, but it only delivered food from the kitchen to the front for delivery orders. I ordered one of their daily specials which was the drink. It was a pineapple ginger lemonade. We ordered the masala dosa, Chettinad chicken curry, chili chicken, special pepper chicken and garlic naan. Everything was flavorful and well done. They definitely accommodated spice levels and really delivered. The heat was bold but enjoyable. I'm glad they were not afraid to turn up the heat since I love spicy food. The chili chicken was crispy with great seasoning. Definitely will be getting that again. The special pepper chicken was soft in texture with a nice kick. It grew on me more with every bite. I left with a happy belly and will be back to try more.

I ordered their masala dosa and it was everything I was looking for. The dosa was light and crispy and paired well with the complementary sauces. My favorite sauce was the minty one; its so refreshing. If you don't have a high tolerance for spicy, be cautious of which dish you order because some of them are packed with some heat. My husband ordered their egg biryani and it ended up being way too spicy for him to eat. Don't underestimate the spice level. We didnt ask but I wonder if we could have adjusted the spice level so that it wasnt too spicy. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They answered all my questions. Tuesday is Dosa night which means unlimited dosa. I would love to go back to enjoy dosa night!

We came in about 45 minutes after opening time, we were greeted and seated promptly. We were then offered drinks! We chose water , which was at room temp ( disappointing). Then the host walked us through how the buffet works. My disappointment was that we came in pretty early(12:30) and the buffet wasn't really ready for the public . Beyond that the buffet includes naan tableside - which was 1/2 of a naan and wasn't included in the buffet price ( disappointing). So our understanding was if you ask for more naan ! You pay for that?????? Any way! We ate and felt like we needed to not eat as much to save food for others. Buffet should be full and ready for lunch! This wasn't.

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.
