The 13 Best Lunch Spots In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"You could show up to Desilicious for lunch or dinner, but it’s especially well-suited to an early visit since the menu has so many classic Indian breakfast dishes, like idly and pongal, plus a great cup of chai if that 8am coffee has already run its course. A meal here is more about the food than the dining room. The AC only kind of works, pre-filled metal pitchers of water sit on all of the tables, and the TV is always playing Indian pop videos through tinny speakers. None of that matters, because they’ve perfected more than 80 varieties of dosa, chapathi, parotta, and other South Indian staples for you to work through over the course of many midday visits." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, raphael brion
