50 Best Indian Restaurants in Austin

“We both loved our food. The person at the counter was very helpful in selecting the right dish and the food came quickly. It's authentic Mumbai food. So of you like that, you'll love the food here. We also ordered rasmalai, and you'll probably not find better rasmalai in this area. Oh and dis I mention how affordable everything is!“

“If you’re into the food truck scene, this is a must in Austin.“

“Desilicious cafe is great. We ordered food from this place for our event and food was great and delicious. Delivered on time and everything was done very professionally. We highly recommend this place“

“Very good food and friendly service.“

“I Have been bringing my son here for the lunch buffet on the weekends,and now he just turned 16. The staff know us well, and if something isn’t right , they fix it right away. Example- small kids :I do feel as they need to be at the table instead of being at the buffet wiping their noses or coughing and then grabbing every single spoon on the buffet. This happened and I told the owner and he immediately fixed it! He replaced every spoon and had a guy wiping the entire buffet area. I appreciate the staff and thank the kitchen personell doing a great job and sending out wonderful food!! I do wish the prices weren’t so high though. I was there every weekend when the prices were at $13, now it’s $20 on the weekends. Too high for me. Now I can only go there once in a blue moon. It’s a shame because it’s one of the better Indian restaurants in Austin.“

“We came here after I took long exams and it was the absolute best place. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the vibe was chill - perfect after a long day. The curry tasted like someone who loves me made it. The staff were super attentive and friendly. 10/10. We'll be back!“

“they were busy and the food came out hot, fast and delicious. the drinks were A1. I had a smokey Paloma and my partner had a Mexican martini. Chris took CARE of us in the middle of a rush. made us feel seen. he even gave us an opportunity to vote for the restaurant on the austin chronicle website. Cory and Roxanne were also awesome. even though there was some dude at the bar giving them what for. if you're visiting and just want to vibe, this is the place.“

“This is hands down the best Indian buffet in town, a hidden gem worth discovering. Their tandoori chicken and goat curry are exceptional, and the garlic naan is simply delicious. The English breakfast/masala tea is a delightful bonus. The owners, originally from Nepal, are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to ensure a great experience. I have been to many Indian restaurants around the world and this one is among the best. I highly recommend them!“

“We have hired Dosa Shack truck for our daughter’s Haldi event at home. It was the best choice . Our guests enjoyed the ambiance, food and the service was friendly and made it personable to our event. Manoj, one of the owners was very professional, communicated timely and his staff are fast and friendly. I would recommend trying Dosa Shack for your events . It added uniqueness to our event and we had nothing to plan ahead or clean up after the brunch. Thanks to Dosa Shack team. Here is a photo from our front yard.“

“Excellent Indian food. I can't believe this place is not more popular. A hidden gam in Austin!“

“I can’t recommend this Indian street food place enough! Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but their kindness truly warmed my heart. On a cold day, they were so sweet to my pup, going out of their way to make sure she was comfortable. Their vegan options are fantastic, and everything is prepared super fast without sacrificing quality. The flavors are vibrant, authentic, and comforting. Whether you’re in a rush or looking to savor a great meal, this place is a gem. Wonderful people and incredible food—definitely a must-visit!”“

“We had party order from Sangam for our event during May 14th weekend for 3 courses (1 Lunch and 2 dinner) for about 100 people. Shiva was working with me and helped with the menu making sure none of the courses repeat any items including papad. He made suggestions based on our preferences and also guided us with the count and other details. Each of the delivery was made promptly at the requested time. The food provided was scrumptious and quantity was more than sufficient. Each of our friends were pleased with the food. Shiva - you are the best to work with and Sangam team , keep up with the amazing food and quality service you all provide. #indianfood #yummytummy #sangamchettinad“

“The Chicken Tikka Massala was the best chicken and rice combo I’ve ever had, hands down. I bought to share with my husband and I didn’t even want to at the end.

The Mango Lassi was definitely very different than I’ve had before, I believe it came cardamom, I’m not really sure, but it was amazing!

I’ll be coming back for more.“

“Great food!!!! We will definitely be back. Your a better person than me if you can finish lamb tikka masala platter!!!“

“I recommend Sitara, one of the best tasty good food. Value for money. Best“

“Extremely satisfied with party order! Kuppanna offered multiple varieties in South Indian and North Indian dishes including vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Nanda made it easier for us by spending time with us suggesting menu items and order quantity based on the guest. Their briyani and pallypalyam chicken is top notch with same quality and taste as dine-in. I was doubtful on their North Indian dishes being a South Indian restaurant but they completely proved me wrong. Ordered Mugalai chicken and Malai kofta with Naan. Our guests loved it a lot. Thanks to Nanda, Chefs and cooks at Kuppanna offering us delicious food. Strongly recommended for party orders!“

“Best Pakistani Food Austin TX. Perfect service.“

“Been there 3 times in a week! Had a dinner with biryani specials first and followed by two lunch buffet over the weekends. We absolutely loved the food here -- although as someone who has never been to India I am not able to claim how authentic the food is, I can tell how distinct this place from most of the Indian restaurants in the US. The diverse ingredients and species made us addicted and want to explore more of it. I also enjoyed loved the masala chai a lot.
Beside the food, I feel welcomed by the Bobby and all other staffs with their warm service and smile. Looking forward to our next visit for the dosa buffet.“

“I had a great experience with both the food and service! I tried the Dahi Puri, Amul Pav Bhaji, and Samosa Chaat, and they were all amazing. The owner and staff are very friendly. Parking was a bit of a hassle at the old location, but it’s much better at this new one.“

“FANTASTIC customer service and the food was very flavorful and savory. I give it: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“During the worst times in Austin these guys made it possible for people stranded due to the crazy weather to have a warm meal! Great food but above all they went above and beyond. Talk about community coming together ❤“

“delish food!! perfect resturant for a first time trying indian food and best decision!! food was fast and delicious. must try! we got butter chicken, chicken tikka massala, assorted Naan and vegetable samosas. 10/10!“

“Great Service and Delicious Food: For our 25th anniversary party Biryani Pot catered very delicious food. Venu was very flexible, servers very polite and prompt, they managed the entire set up. Very thankful for going above and beyond for this milestone celebration.“

“The only truck of its kind in South Austin serving delicious chaat and Indian street food classics. We tried the live pani puri, dahi puri, vada pav and paan and everything was excellent. If you live in South Austin don’t miss out on this place - definitely beats driving 45 min North to have chaat!“

“Great food and service.
We tried chicken Tikka pizza and rice bowls, every dish is very flavorful and delicious
And most importantly their presentation, freshness of ingredients is well executed in each dish.
New idea of Dosa tacos is very interesting
I will be back again there with my frnds“

“Super tasty Indian food in an extremely clean, fast casual, cooked to order restaurant.

They have nice touches like build your own curry (Note: if you want genuinely spicy, you may want to select !X Hot, or at least Hot), as well as fresh filtered water and sliced lemons so you can skip paying for bottled water.

If you are looking for fully authentic Indian food, this may not be your place; however if you are feeling like really good Indian food in a convenient, speedy and remarkably clean restaurant (it bears repeating how clean they keep this place), I strongly recommend Tikka Shack Indian Grub!“

“Food quantity is awesome as compared to other halal restaurants near by. Customer service is on point. Wait time is 5-10 min. Cleanliness is key at this place. Our food came hot and fresh. I tried the Mongolian Beef and also tried some of the Asian items and they were all good. I really hope the quality stays as it was simply delicious. Will come back again for grill items as we saw some other customers order and it looked yum!“

“Catered food for 1st birthday party. Compliments from a lot of guests for the tasty food!“

“One of the best taste in Austin.“

“You guys love it. We really enjoy the food.“

“I recently visited this place. I must say, one of the best chaat and Frankie’s in austin area. Ingredients are fresh and loaded with flavors. Achari paneer Frankie is to die for it burst all the flavors in every bite. I felt like I’m eating chaat in india. Soooo good.“

“I've visited Bay Biriyani in Austin, Texas, multiple times, and each visit has been an exceptional experience. Their Paneer Gongura Biriyani, Paneer Vijayawada Biriyani, and Mushroom Gongura Biriyani are absolutely delicious, with flavors that stand out and leave a lasting impression. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and taste of the food make it worth every penny. If you're a foodie looking for a unique and flavorful biriyani experience, this place is a must-try!“

“fresh and healthy food highly recommend“

“We arrived at the restaurant almost around 11 PM, and despite the late hour and the chilly weather outside, Chandu welcomed us with a warm, friendly smile and served us with great patience. We ordered idly and dosa, and both were delicious—definitely worth the visit. The food was great, but what stood out the most was Chandu's exceptional service. His attentiveness and positive attitude made our experience so much better. Highly recommend if you're looking for tasty food and excellent service, especially late at night!“

“Had briyani and chat, fried rice was ok. Quick service. Suggested for To-go only as theres no seating area. Limited parking space available for quick pickup. They also offer delivery pickup through Grub Hub.One of recommended option for Indian restaurant in South “

“fresh and healthy food highly recommend“

“Thank you again, for a unique & mouthwatering food experience!“

“SO GOOD! Picked up office lunch for a dozen+ people. Cool fusion flavors and good portions. Recommend trying the paneer tacos, just the right "chew" to the cheese in a delicious soft naan.“

“This is in an upscale market and genuinely has the best Indian food in the area. We’ve had the samosas several times and they’re the best I’ve had south of Round Rock. It is reasonably priced with generous portions and genuinely tasty without overpowering you with heat. They’re not afraid to use spice unlike some places nearby. Far better than wasting money on sit down restaurants in the area.

Vegetarian options: Bowls with the standard curry dishes, samosas and Indo Chinese“

“I recently visited the Indian food truck, and I must say, their momo this is truly exceptional. The flavors were rich and authentic, with a perfect balance of spices and ingredients. It's a must-try for anyone looking to savor the delicious tastes of nepal on the go! They have 2 staff
They are really friendly

Parking: 9313 Anderson Mill Rd, Austin, TX 78729“

“Quick stop from work to grab some lunch. Order inside from a bunch of appetizers, bowls ( veg and non veg) , and a couple biryani options. can vouch for the samosa chaat,gobi manchurian and chicken biryani. Will try the bowls next time! Would recommened this for a quick pick up if you have the hankering for indian food.“

“Went there on a Saturday. We ordered chicken majestic , goat biriyani , gongura chicken and kids chicken noodles. We loved everything. The quantity of the food was good and especially the kids noodles. We also love their BG special cilantro chicken. Will definitely recommend“

“I had the opportunity to try Madurai mes express restaurant in Austin. Surprisingly, everything I had was all fresh and authentic South Indian with Madurai touch. After having proper full non veg meal with mouth melting fish masala and pallipalayam chicken, I was wondering whether I am in India or USA. We loved all the food from Mutton soup to unique cool jigarthanda. Wow ! What a food !. Last but not least, hospitality of Mr.Ibrahim was unforgettable with his request, we tried yummy seeraga samba rice mutton biryani.Surely will come back to this place to have finger licking food, when I come to Austin.“

“This place has been a favorite for several months for my family. We've tried weekend lunch and weekday dinners, consistently good every time. Typically, we have 4-5 people but we've done parties up to 10 without any change in quality or speed of service. Medium spice is hotter than most places, so start there...before going up.“

“We catered food from Chatpatti chat for our kiddo birthday party and the food quality was amazing. Everyone liked the food, they packed it so well that nothing spilled. They were very accommodating for our additional request.“

“Great laid back Indian restaurant with genuine and caring ownership/management! We were there during a busy time for lunch but the owner/manager came and spent time and spoke with us to make sure everything was okay.... speaking of which....the food. Is. AMAZING!!!!!“

“Our taste buds were dancing!! Fun and dog-friendly, too!!“

“Great for late night cravings. The portions are size-able but let’s be sincere - this is American Indian food, hence quite bland.The spice level in authentic Indian food will have your mouth smiling, so please make sure you find it. Happy eating!“
