Great presentation and demonstrated the mastery of balancing multiple layers of flavors. Knowing the chef came from Semma in NYC (number 1 restaurant in 2025), I was very impressed and happy with the dishes he recommended. In speaking with the staff, it sounds like they are still adjusting a lot of operations. They still don't have some of the dishes printed out on the temporary menu. Still working on their beverage selection. And staff still need to go through more training. If you come here to expect Michelin star level experience, you will be disappointed. If you are here to experience amazing modern takes on southern Indian cuisine, you will fall in love.

TL;DR: -Food was delicious, beautiful, served quickly…read more-Service was ok to awful. Very pushy, seems they are still 'soft launching' despite reviews going back to at least November 2025 -Only beer and wine If you can set aside abysmal service then I would say give this place a try, as the food was at least very, very good. My three friends and I came here for our 'monthly' dinner out. We made reservations but it didn't appear they were necessary. There is plenty of parking which is a major plus. The inside is beautiful and clean and the tables are BIG which is so nice for family style situations. The first waitress that assisted us was friendly and helpful. We inquired about cocktails and she stated they only served wine and beer. When we asked about the wine list, there wasn't one, and she wasn't able to tell us whites from red and had to go get her notes. While waiting for drinks, a second waitress arrived to take our food order. She seemed very insistent on recommending specific appetizers: mosaru vade, cauliflower varuthathu, and the goat sukka. Everyone in the group seemed fine with those options, so that's what we ordered. Our drinks arrived with a third person who identified herself as the bar manager. She stated cocktails would be 'coming soon' despite reviews from February saying the same thing, and asked if we had any suggestions. One friend suggested a cocktail with mint, I suggested a cocktail with pomegranate, as one of the appetizers had it as an ingredient. We were then told that nether of those suggestions were particularly helpful, as a lot of the ingredients she needed weren't available in India? It was an odd convo and its possible we misunderstood her. By the time ordering entrees came around, I'd started to hear other tables being told certain items on the menu provided were not available. When the same waitress that suggested appetizers came to take our entrees, she didn't even ask what we wanted and instead told us we should order the chicken tikka and the palak paneer. One friend tried to order kal dosa and was told they didn't have it, at which point the waitress again told us what things we should order and then stated 'this is our soft launch, so we don't have some things'. I'd planned on ordering Mangalore Squid for my entree but realized at this point that despite the size of the menu, it was clear that they were only cooking and serving specific items. Everything that we ordered was delicious, beautifully served, and came out hot and quick. I have zero complaints about the food. Once the bill came, the same pushy waitress put down a giant, laminated QR code and insisted we leave a review. We paid, she left, then looped back around, tapped on the QR code and said 'You leaving a review is the most important thing to us' then walked off again. She then came back a third time, said 'are you done with this??' and snatched the QR code so some other table could be pressured into a review I assume. As we were leaving, we merged with another group outside that was discussing their meal and commenting on things reflecting our experience. I told them I could tell them exactly what they ordered despite not being at their table, and then rattled off what we'd been told to order; it was item for item. So my main complaint here is print out a menu that reflects what you're serving. You can't 'soft launch' forever and its actually not fair to your wait staff to set up a menu that results in them having to tell people multiple times that something isn't available while also simultaneously pressuring the table into ordering what IS available. It really tainted the entire experience for me personally.

Konfusedesi food truck is back in South Austin, this time located on South 1st Street!…read more We absolutely devoured the 3 tacos we had - paneer, chicken and samosa takos. Each taco had a paratha base packed with a generous amount of filling with the protein, rice, avocado and cucumber toppings and delicious one-of-a-kind sauces that are unique to this food truck. The result is that every taco is packed with bomb flavors and tastes different. The owner is a down-to-earth guy, always greetings everyone with a smile and being friendly. He really should try out for MasterChef as his ability to create mouthwatering and flavorful fusion dishes is quite outstanding. There's a few picnic benches next to the food truck and the area is well shaded with trees. Parking spots are available in the same lot as well.

Absolutely delicious! We came for the momos and ended up trying a bunch of different dishes…read more(including delicious momos). We came as a group of 5 during a soccer match and had no trouble getting seated- they did have the game playing on a large tv at the back but didn't bother us. The staff was very friendly, happy to answer questions, and also was careful to let us know when we were ordering crazier dishes but didn't push back when we said yeah we want to try it XD I forgot to write this review right away and I can't remember exactly what combo of fillings we got with our momos, but they were all great. The chilly sauce one was good though on the sweet side- some of the group weren't a big fan but I loved it I think the spice balances out the sweet. If we didn't have multiple flavors to try I may have gotten tired of it but I really enjoyed having all the different versions. I think the Jhol was my favorite- the spicy sauce was delicous and I dipped some of the other items in it once we finished the momos! We also tried the sandheko ones which were fun and unique- the herbs/veggies they were tossed with were great. We also tried the special khaja set- this was super fun and something I had never tried before. We all agreed that most restaurants in Austin advertising Nepali food usually serve typical Indian dishes plus momos, so it was fun and exciting to have other Nepali dishes I had never tried on the menu! The set was great, the flattened rice wasn't my favorite but it sure was interesting! I'd highly recommend it if you want to try something new! The only dish I personally didn't enjoy (this is the one the server warned us about) was a mutton dish. I can't pinpoint what menu item it is but it was just pieces of mutton with some spices to dip them in. My husband enjoyed this and ate a good portion but I found it to be so incredibly gamey I could barely finish the first piece lol. Absolutely no points off as it was definitely a personal preference thing and awesome that they have adventurous options! We also got a curry of some sort that was delicious, and some great mixed drinks. We all agreed that we absolutely must come back and try more of the massive menu!!

Honestly I wish I could try out the whole menu in one sitting. The only thing is I'm not very experienced in this cuisine, so I had to look up a lot of the foods from the menu on my phone. I don't remember what I got but these are both chicken! It was great though. It's calm and moody inside. The servers are kind and check up on you in a timely manner.

Only downside was the spice level, ordered medium but was a bit too spicy for me . However I think that is how this biryani is supposed to taste, just not the right spice level for me as that's the lowest spice level I could go. Wish they had a 'mild' option. If you can handle a lot of spice, this one is a good try .

Based on the food we ordered yesterday, I don't understand why this place is not more highly rated. We ordered, Beef samosas - since it was to go it was already soft. I think the flavor profile could have been better Mutton biryani - delicious, mughlai style Beef haleem - they ran out of goat haleem, so had to settle for this. It was mouth watering ly good Mutton karahi - probably my favourite dish. Loved the flavor profile Bullet garlic naan - had a nice spicy flavor Kheer - I think they added kesar or saffron. Loved it

Zaika is a food truck located on the lot of the Super 8 on I-35 South. It is accessible only from I…read more-35 S frontage road, south of the 290 intersection. I ordered online (they use Beyond Menu), and picked up the order. They have a single table, shaded under a canopy. I ordered Chicken 65, Saag Paneer, and a Masala Dosa. All food is packed piping hot into plastic or styrofoam containers. The dosa arrived cut up, and smelled "burnt" (bitter) which was also confirmed via taste. It was packed in a styrofoam box. The texture was chewy, which it should definitely should not be, even if it was no longer crispy from being locked in a styrofoam box. It lacked the fermented savoriness one expects from a dosa. They seem to utilize russets based on the potato texture in their masala, which also contained green beans and peas. It seemed reasonably spiced, but dry and grainy. Overall: avoid this appalling dosa The Chicken 65 comes enshrouded in a plastic wrapped circular takeout container. Chicken breast and / or chicken tenders seem to be the protein of choice based on the taste and texture. Not sure if there is a breading or coating on the chicken (their dish is gluten-free), but it is well-slathered in a sour chili sauce. The sauce is mostly spicy and sour forward, with other aromatic elements not particularly noticeable, including the cilantro and onion. Overall: better renditions of Chicken 65 exist that are more aromatic, crispier, and yet retain moisture within. This Saag Paneer has a weird smell and taste. It's not really thick, and more soupy... and perhaps the weird flavor comes from the paneer. Kinda like how different milks have variations in flavor, including some which might have detectable, undesirable flavors. There are plenty of spices, which I view as a plus, but the spinach is lacking, and the viscosity is too low. Overall: disappointing. again, there are more satisfactory preparations of this dish that can be found elsewhere. After tasting the mains, I didn't bother trying the sambar, two chutneys, and rice that came with. Nor did I bother finishing the food that was ordered. Instead, I focused on writing this review and ordered an alternative meal from a more reputable Indian restaurant. Recommendation: go elsewhere for Indian food. Or stop by to make your own assessment, and then order from somewhere else.
