    Grand opening day at the Veranda Bar & Restaurant which specializes in authentic Indian cuisine with a Texas twist. Veranda focuses on fresh ingredients with Indian spices. Some of their specialties include tandoori chicken, curries and garlic naan. We purchased butter and tandoori chicken which came with basmati rice. We also ordered garlic Naan. Butter chicken and tandoori chicken...super moist and next level flavoring. The garlic naan was so good...soft and the right amount of garlic. Kira, our server, was quick to offer us menus. Also, she was also helpful in offering lunch recommendations. From the outside Veranda Bar & Restaurant looks unassuming. However, when you walk in it is a wow interior! The middle of the restaurant is the focal point...small shiny earth toned tiles accented by an ornate chandelier cover the center of the ceiling. The back wall is covered beautiful Indian wall art. Watchout: you pay the actual price on the menu if you pay in cash. However, if you pay by card, you are charged the restaurant's credit card fee. After the review of our bill, we notice a change in the price of the menu items. There is a trend for restaurants to charge credit card fees, however, most disclose as a service charge or credit card fee. When doing business in this area we will consider dropping in again.

    Came here for drinks! Got the Ambrosia and Veranda's iced tea, both delicious. Also tried the garlic naan- amazing! The gentleman working was so nice, great server and bartender. He said he created the Ambrosia drink! I will be back soon!

    Veranda continues to provide amazing Indian fare in Leander. This trip we stayed with our favs at first, garlic naan and the mustard crusted lamb chops. Yum! Then we explored a bit, opting for the okra starter and the goat entree! Both were delicious, as has been everything we've had here. Service was great as always, owners super friendly, visited the table several times to discuss preparation of various menu items. Nice! Highly recommend Veranda.

    Rice, palak paneer, tandoori chicken, lassi

    I've been wanting to come here since it opened. We arrived early to beat crowd. The dining space is roomy and thoughtfully decorated. Service was prompt and professional. We had tandoori chicken at two different heat levels, palak paneer, garlic naan, saffron rice and a mango lassi. The lassi is surprisingly rich and featured boba. The rice is aromatic and serves two. The paneer is generous in the palak purée. The chicken is surprisingly coated in the sauce that gives it a little heat, not just the dry roast that comes from the tandoor, and I honestly think that's the secret that won over Bobby Flay. Now I want to try the biryani and another veggie dish.

    27. Chicken Tikka Masala, 31. Lamb Vindaloo, 41. Saag Aloo, 47. Lamb Kheema Naan

    Really wonderful dinner - nice to have in town! Convenient location for parking too. My husband and I had the tikka and vindaloo along with saag and naan. Super flavorful curries, we'll be adding this to our local rotation!

    Food and service were great and so were the drinks! It was a bit on the pricey side, but portions were large. We will definitely be back!

    We visited Prohibition ATX and loved our experience! Although it took us about 5 minutes to find…read morethe entrance, once we did, we were glad we made the effort. The atmosphere is very relaxed and cozy/fun. The bartenders were very helpful and the drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the old fashioned!

    I am a sucker for a speakeasy when it is done right. I love the idea of being somewhere that not…read moreeveryone knows about. It feels like an IYKYK atmosphere. Located off Anderson Mill in the corner of a strip mall is a bookshelf with a door on the right side. If you cannot figure out the entrance, there is a doorbell to ring as well. I believe it is owned by the same people who own The Mill bar right next door, which makes it feel like a cool bonus space. My friend and I sat next to a faux fireplace, where we were greeted by the only bartender working and placed our order. Once he opened the tab, it was disappointing that he never came back to check if we wanted another drink. It wasn't super busy on the Monday we went, but since he was the only one manning the bar, the bartender was always doing something, so I don't blame him fully for not checking back in with us. I ordered a drink called the Velvet Vice. It looked nothing like the picture and tasted similar to an Aviation cocktail with egg whites. I happened to really like it. It is a very relaxed space, but once the speakeasy gimmick wears off, it does not have much else going for it. It is still a cool place, but I am not sure it was worth the lengthy drive to get there.

It's definitely a neighborhood bar, but with a slightly elevated vibe that makes you feel like you stumbled into the nice version of a local hangout, not the sticky‑floor kind. I ordered three rounds of Hendrick's and tonic, and my partner went with four rounds of Tito's and Sprite. When the bill came out to $140, I had to take a quiet moment with myself. Yes, Hendrick's is top shelf, but even with that in mind... whew. That total felt a little ambitious for a neighborhood bar in Cedar Park. I'm all for a good cocktail, but I also know what these pours cost elsewhere, and this pricing didn't quite match the setting. That said, the service was excellent. Our bartender was attentive, quick, and had that perfect balance of friendly without being overly chatty. She kept an eye on the bar, and we never had to wait long for a refill -- which I appreciated, especially since the place wasn't packed. Honestly, the smooth service was the highlight of the night. The vibe itself is cool -- a little eclectic, a little upscale, and clearly a favorite for the local crowd. It's the kind of place you go when you want to unwind without dealing with the Domain crowd or the chaos of downtown Austin. I can absolutely see why people love it. But between the drink prices and the overall experience, this is one of those spots I'd visit occasionally, not regularly. A cute neighborhood bar? Yes. A $140‑for‑seven‑drinks bar? Not for me.
