The 9 Best Indian Restaurants In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"On paper, Tandoori Lounge sounds incredibly exciting. It’s open until 3am, house beers cost $2, and the name calls to mind a room full of reclining chairs and an endless supply of charred meats. The reality is a little quieter, but don’t let a tame dining room in South Austin stop you from coming. The menu features a mix of North and South Indian classics, plus a handful of Indo-Chinese dishes. But the real reason to visit is for anything cooked in the tandoor oven. All of the meats are heavily marinated, incredibly tender, and finished with ample char." - nicolai mccrary
