According to a close friend, Safran Austin located on Far West Boulevard, is especially known for being the first in Austin to feature a dedicated Nepalese menu I was not very hungry so I ordered the Chicken 65 (spicy deep-fried chicken with tomatoes, curry leaves, and ginger) ...a South Indian specialty. The chicken nuggets were doused in a flavorful curry seasoned and they were super moist and fresh tasting. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. My server, Dipka, was kind and helpful. She offered me water to go as it was pretty hot outside...nice touxh. There are a plethora of vegetarian, vegan, and halal offerings. Looking forward to returning and exploring more menu items...

Were a bit worried that there was hardly no customers then realized it was after lunch so the lunch crowd wasnt there. The service was fast and the place was decorated nicely. Our food was great. We had lamb tikka marsala, mushroom lamb tikka marsala, chicken biryani and 2 types of naan; chicken and garlic. Everything was so flavorful. We will definitely come to this place again and try other items.

It is the type of day that makes you want to eat comfort food. Bombay to Kathmandu was the ideal place for some lentil soup and naan. My soup was steaming hot and my naan quite tasty. Walking into Bombay to Kathmandu feels like being transported around the world. The beaded curtains, tin doors and other Indian Nepali artifacts made the place appear authentic. I placed my order with the cashier, who was warm and welcoming. The menu is remarkably diverse, offering classic Indian favorites alongside traditional Nepali dishes, which makes it stand out. The restaurant is known for its momos, curry dishes and aromatic sauces. Importantly, there are plenty of options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Their creative fusion items, including curry inspired pizzas are their specialties. My soup was quite generous and filling. Prices are reasonable, and the food consistently delivers big on taste. The staff was friendly and willing to help with spice levels and menu recommendations.

This place is right around the corner so I decided to give it a whirl…read more I ordered online, and got there to pick up at the time it said it would be ready. There was one customer waiting, and not another person. I waited about ten minutes. My son loves chicken Tikka masala, so we ordered him some. It is spicy. I'm into a moderate spice, and this is burning my lips as I type. There was no option when ordering online to determine level of spice so we weren't ready for that. Beyond the spice the chicken was tough, so even if the spice was toned down the chicken wasn't great. The tandoori chicken is nice and flavorful and tender. $17 for three drumsticks and two thighs might be a bit steep. Overall not an overwhelmingly good experience.

The restaurant is clean, well decorated and ready for your visit! The staff are super friendly. I drove home with my order and it was piping hot and spectacular. Chicken tikka is spicy, mildly sweet and so delicious. A great way to conquer allergy season! The paneer butter masala had a lot of paneer. Many other locals have tiny bits of paneer in a sea of gravy. At Tamarind you will not be disappointed! Don't miss the potato samosas... Come on Austin, let's show these guys more lunch time love!

We live in South Texas where you can't find Indian food, at least not these days, so it was a super special treat for us as we were visiting Austin. Indian food is one of our faves, so we felt very satisfied and lucky! We highly recommend this restaurant. We had the chicken lollipops, the garlic naan, the butter chicken, and the tikka lamb.

We ordered the butter chicken, the mixed meat platter with chicken, lamb, and shrimp, the vegetable samosas, and, of course, a mango lassi.

The restaurant was clean, had a nice atmosphere, and the service was pleasant. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

The chicken 65 was still as good as I remembered except the side of rice was really strange. It was DRY! Not as dry as raw rice. It was definitely cooked and then it seems like it sat out for a long time and got dehydrated. I was really turned off by the rice. I don't even know why I packed it to go. I regret tainting my chicken 65 by putting it in the same to go box. :( I'll be trying a different place next time.
