"A family-oriented South Austin restaurant that feels like home rather than a nouvelle-cuisine destination, it aims to satisfy a wide range of palates with popular, Americanized Indian dishes. Standouts include a butter-tender tandoori chicken, saag paneer whose cheese has a pleasing elastic bounce, and a cauliflower 65 that reimagines South Indian flavors with a kung pao–style kick. The kitchen gently guides diners through bold flavors—the butter chicken features impossibly soft, pillowy meat bathing in a creamy, buttery tomato sauce reminiscent of a smokier penne alla vodka—and fresh-cooked, crispy-edged naan with a spongy interior is perfect for sopping up the saucy plates. The buffet comes recommended, though diners should not expect every specific dish to appear on any given day." - Erin Russell
