Asiana Indian Cuisine

This place ought to be more packed at all hours. What a great Indian spot and everything was on par with the best I've had. The goat was great and their specialty naan and desserts were incredible as well. Highly recommend the cauliflower 65 as an appetizer. The classic tiki masala has somewhat of a more tomato flavor but doesn't take away from the creaminess. Rice is cooked perfectly soft and fluffy and airy. Service was quick and kind!

I ordered about $100 worth of food from here last night. I got the tandoori chicken, lamb chops, goat vindaloo, Palak Daal, rice and naan. It was the most disappointing meal I've ever had. It was unfortunate to spend so much for such poor quality food. The lamb chops were so dry and over cooked that it was not enjoyable. I could not even bite through the lamb chops. I couldn't rip a piece off of them. I am a lamb lover, tried lamb all over the world and this was the worst. The meat was gritty due to being over cooked and no amount of chewing let me get through the meat. I think they put yogurt on the meat but it just bubbled and looked unappetizing. The goat vindaloo was mostly bones. Like with the tiniest amount of meat on them. It may not have even been 1 oz of meat. It was a bowl of bones. I don't know why a restaurant would serve people this food. I do not recommend wasting your money here. I am not sure how they have the reviews that they do. Whoever was the cook last night should consider another career. This was the worst cooked food. I am not even sure how it was so bad. I've had well done lamb and this was not that. I still have most of the food. Please restaurant owners look at whatever was going on last night and never let it happen again.

We had been here on a weekend for lunch en route to Austin. This Indian restaurant was very nice, spacious with lots of parking space. The taste was delicious and the service was nice. The naan was especially good.

best indian food in austin!! this is our third time coming here from houston. i saved it so that everyone we visit austin we make a trip here to support a small business. food is always fresh and tasty served hot! and don’t get my started on the garlic naan 🤤 it’s the best i’ve ever had.

maybe my fault for ordering so late at night but this was disappointing :( i got a mixed grill platter, i appreciate it came with extra rice and what appears to be a box of just tikka masala sauce. wish it came with a chutney. the meat was extremely dry. like my chicken made a cracking sound when i cut into it. it was also HUGE chunks of breast so extra dry. the lamb kebab was like eating into a block of sawdust. the shrimps were somehow barely cooked and not even grilled. also they forgot my mango lassi.

Quite possibly the worst mixed grill I have ever tried. The meat looked freezer burned and then grilled because it was as hard as a rock. The chicken was was hard. Called management and they apologized but what good does that do? Never again from this place. Don't eat here, you will get sick.

Food here is basic Indian, can't go wrong. Good prices and big spacious dining room. The server Ali is always welcoming and busting to keep the place clean. I like the location also, for me it's been a convenient go to.

I've wanted to try Indian food for a while, my husband and I decided on a random Monday to finally try it. I'm so glad we went here. The staff was so kind and answered our questions, was fine with how long it took me to settle on a dish. The staff started the experience off delightfully. The food was amazing. I loved the flavor, the beautiful presentation, and the amount was more then we could eat. To me, their skill shown in things like their perfectly cooked rice (it was tasty on its own) and the tenderness of the meat. But the flavors have made this a new favorite. I will be back, and I hope you will check them out.

Delicious! The best saag I've had in Austin and possibly the best overall. The kadai was spicy,the Tikka masala was in the creamy side, both were also delicious.

By far the worst Indian food I've ever tasted. I ordered the Sambar and there was no lentils in it only vegetables. It lacked flavor so I ordered some traditional Dal and although it had yellow lentils it wasn't any better than the Sambar. It lacked a lot of flavor, it was extremely liquefied. It wasn't thick and none of the food had spices. The basmati rice was bland and dry. The wait service pretty okay, there was this chubby guy that asked us 10 thousand times how we were to the point it made the experience bad because he was bothering us. I asked him for water. He came back to the table with the water in his hands then asked if I needed water. I was thinking, okay this guy must be tired because I just asked for some. I think the food lacks flavor because the main clientele. The food is terrible and if you don't enjoy spice or flavor just blandness definitely come here. Even the gobi Manchurian was awful. I won't be returning and not recommending. Even my African friend kept emphasizing that this was the worst Indian food she has ever tasted.

Food: 4/5 Asiana serves up some great curry and samosas at a decent price. Definitely worth stopping by for lunch since they won't be as busy as they are at dinner. Service: 5/5 They're on top of it here making sure our drinks were always full and explaining the menu well to help us make a decision. Environment: 4/5 Great chairs, but loud music and a bit empty feeling on the inside.

The place looks amazing,kind staff and welcoming. I had the lamb curry with white rice. The food was good but not to my liking when it comes to Indian food .Bare minimum flavors on the curry,actually it didn't even taste like curry,it tasted more like masala sauce(very dissatisfied). Rice was good,typical jasmine long grain rice

Asiana is a respectable option if one is seeking fresh Indian food in South Austin. Every time we've gone it seems like the dining room was mostly empty, but several people came in and out to pick up their to-go orders. To be fair, every time we visited, it was after lunch time and before dinner time, usually mid-afternoon, so that could explain why there were so few diners. The food though is good and prices are fair. I remember particularly liking their lunch time thali plate which features many of their specialties. It's a great way to sample a new place and their offerings without breaking the bank. Their curries are good and the service was quick and polite. The place has been clean every time we visited. Portions are generous and we ended up with leftovers. Nothing negative to report! I recommend it if you're in the area. This is an Indian place that won't disappoint.

My recent visit to Asiana Indian Cuisine in downtown Austin near the airport left much to be desired, especially regarding the service. We arrived with hopes of enjoying good Indian food, but unfortunately, the service was extremely poor. After ordering samosas for appetizers and dosas for our entree, we waited an unusually long time--about 20-25 minutes--for the samosas to arrive. Despite our inquiries about the status of our food, the staff assured us it would be coming soon, but the wait continued. The staff appeared lethargic and unconcerned, showing little urgency even when we expressed that we were in a hurry. This lack of attentiveness significantly detracted from the dining experience. Regarding the food, while the samosas and dosas were finally served, the quality was just okay. My masala dosa was notably disappointing as it lacked salt in the masala filling, which was a major oversight.

Great Indian spot with good service! We ordered the onion pakoras, butter chicken and chicken biryani and everything had very good flavor. The portions were also huge. I would return for sure. The place also was not very full but there were quite a few takeout orders.

Service is quick and friendly. Food is absolutely delicious and the dining area is nice and spacious to eat. I'm a beginner with Indian cuisine and I throughly enjoyed it! I got some Tandoori chicken to take home too and it was mouthwatering! Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu.

My first Indian restaurant experience! I had lamb Hyperabadi, naan and Masala chai. Exceptional service and elegant ambiance.

Service was slow. Water was slow. Check was slow. If you're running a but late do not recommend this place. Food was authentic and was worth the wait. Did not like the Sambar since it was too thick. Tomato & Coconut chutneys along with the Gun Powder were amazing. My order: Masala Dosa Ghee Roast Samosa Salt Lassi Loved the Samosa. It was fresh and good. The dosas were perfect! Ghee Roast was crisp to the point.

It was my first time visiting Asiana with my partner who was craving some quality Indian food and after reading online reviews we decided to check out Asiana. We ordered chicken curry and chicken tikka masala. The server helped me switch out the rice that comes with the tikka masala with plain naan without charge. The chicken curry was decent but the bigger blocks of chicken resulted in the interior being a little dry. I chopped up my chicken tikka masala to encourage more sauce absorption. I loved the combination of the chicken tikka masala with the naan! The tangy sauce and the nicely crisped naan were a match made in heaven. As someone who isn't naturally drawn towards Indian food, their tikka masala is definitely something I would want again. Their serving size was enough and good value for the cost. We ended up taking the chicken curry to go since we both worked on finishing the tikka masala (it's a lot of chicken!) We also ordered veggie samosa and while it also was a portion size befitting the price, it was a little more disappointing personally because the exterior wasn't as crisp. Overall it was a great first experience. The interior looked clean and the furniture looked new. The servers were also very accommodating.

Asiana is a nice place to have South Indian dishes. We arrived around evening, and the owners and staff were very kind and accommodating. Inside, the restaurant was very neat and organized. The masala dosa was very good, perfectly crisped on the outside and the potato masala filling was also full of flavour. The red chutney and the sambar were a bit disappointing, however the coconut chutney made the dish. Unfortunately I did not try the other dishes, but I'm sure that it would be great.

Solid! There's something stark about this spot, but I can't pinpoint what it is. It might just be the bright overhead lighting. That being said, it's clean, spacious, and pretty quiet. Although it was pretty empty when I went late in the evening on a weekday. I can't say anything about a busier time of business. The service is great here. Fast, friendly, and willing to offer suggestions. I dined with a vegan and they told us one of the naan options we were going to order actually had animal products in it, we had no clue. She even suggested another option which was pretty good. The food is solid. The Saag Paneer is not something I'd drive out of the way for, but I definitely would pop in if I'm in the area craving Indian food. I wouldn't say no to coming back, and I'd try something else.

Plenty of space and many to go orders. Food was great and decent portions too and tasty, never seen the orange soup come with so dipping that with my naan was different. Chicken 65 was nice and lean and kebabs was different as it had mozzarella on it but still tasty, was chunky if you like that. Food came one at a time and had to wait on the naan, usually comes together so best to mention that.

First time having lunch at Asiana Indian Restaurant. We ordered the dinner for two to share a variety of different dishes, appetizer, and desserts. Each dish was outstanding. The service was quick and informative. I can't pick my favorite dish. They all had wonderful taste profiles and spice usage. I will definitely return to try this restaurant again.

Decent Indian food and many options for North Indian and Indo Chinese cuisine. They used to have dosas too but have discontinued South Indian food for some reason. Gobi manchurian was a bit tasteless without any saucy coating. Veg noodles and paneer tikka (less paneer more veggies) were quite good. Service is quick and friendly.

Love the butter chicken. They give a lot of chicken - definitely worth the price. The restaurant decorations remind me of Indian movies that I watched. Good experience overall but hope the waitress could check in on us more frequently.

One of the best places to get Indian food in Austin! Luckily live very close in south Austin. Staff is always friendly and food comes out fresh whether you eat in or to go. The inside has nice furniture and is comfortable.

The food is extremely bad! It is so bad that I would honestly recommend the owner to sell the restaurant and convert the restaurant into a car wash. The chicken was over cooked, the fish which was expected to be very spicy was actually undercooked. There was no spice at all. Either the owner has never been to India or the cooks are sham! Save your money!! DO NOT ORDER from here. I'm right now going to domino's after throwing the entire take out to trash!

This place is awesome. The butter chicken made spicy with plain naan is great. One of my staples for Indian food in the South Austin area. I've also had the chicken tikka masala and enjoyed it. Service is fast, friendly, and they're open late! My only gripe is the lights are too bright at night. If they would dim it a bit at night, it would feel more comfortable and inviting.

This has to be the driest butter chicken I've ever had in my entire life. How could something be soooo dry when it is in a moist sauce? Saag Paneer was very liquidy and very creamy and not much seasoning. I do not know how this place get such high reviews. Also the cheese naan was like American cheese? It was like a grilled cheese sandwich in flavor. We waited for 15 minutes for them to get us our box and let us pay after we asked for the check. They were talking behind the counter for the entire time and there was only one table in the entire restaurant and no to go orders that I saw.

This was always my favorite Indian restaurant, especially in south Austin. It has since changed ownership, and IMO, the food is as good or better than it was before! The samosas are crisp, freshly made, and have a delicious filling and sauces. The fish curry was complex and flavorful, with lots of fresh fish. The saag paneer was up there with the best I've had. Service was excellent. My only disappointment was the mango lassi. A bit too sweet and thick. Another plus is that they've updated the decor with very classy and comfortable tables and chairs which gives the restaurant a cleaner look and a better ambience. Overall this place deserves 5 stars! You won't be disappointed.

Great food, fabulous venue. The restaurant is never too busy, it's a pretty underrated location. Service is friendly and food comes within a reasonable wait period. I come here with my daughter all the time and we always order extra food to bring home. It's a large and usually quiet place to share a delightful meal with a loved one.

Ordered Gobi Manchurian and Paneer chili - Gobi M was extremely soggy and overflowing with red food coloring. paneer chili - paneer was cold when served. Taste is 1 star. Won't recommend and will not be back anytime soon.

Great food and Great prices. Recommend coming here. The service was good. Wine was great. The environment was a chill and great environment. The drinks here were also good.

Everything wonderful wonderful! The food was amazing and so was the kind and attentive service! Vest Indian food I've had in ATX. Can't wait to get back down here again. Also peaceful music and ambiance. Very clean and classy. No frills just comfortable, pleasant and most of all delicious!

This place was simply incredible. The ambiance is great. Good lighting. Floor to ceiling windows that have blinds that you can open up and it gives your entire table a glamorous feel. The staff are very kind. Let's get to the food. They have a meat and non meat 2 person meal option. It's enough for 4 servings and me and my mom got the vegetarian option. It included naan, 4 entrees, and desserts. I added veggie samosas. Well worth the value of the meal which was about $51 bucks! The food was full of flavor. I wish I could have written down all of the dishes! I will certainly be revisiting this place soon with my mom again. She loved it! Please check out the pictures I have uploaded in support of my wonderful experience at this place!

What can I say? Rishi was amazing, the food was amazing. It was my first time there along with my husband and the food was some of the best Indian food we have had in Austin! My husband said that the garlic naan was the best he's had here because it was so well balanced with the garlic and butter. I enjoyed my chicken biryani so much and it was enough for several meals as they have such generous portions! The veggie pakoras were soooo good too. My husband had the chicken tikka masala and samosas and enjoyed that as well. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and Rishi was knowledgeable and kindly told me what I could and could not have, which I appreciated! We enjoyed it so much that we went back a few days later lol. And I will say - when we went, it was quite busy. Rishi helped everyone with a smile on his face, a good attitude, and never seemed overwhelmed or stressed. He let us know that the food was cooked fresh, and we could definitely tell. One of the best spots in Austin, y'all!

Plenty of seating, attentive service, and many options to choose from. I had the chicken tikka masala platter and it came with saag paneer, a separate vegetable dish, a whole naan, and a heaping scope of rice. For $18, this was so filling! I almost couldn't finish it. Overall, the flavor was decent, however I wish they included more than three pieces of chicken and added more flavor and creaminess to the saag paneer.

THE BIG: Located in South Austin, right off of I-35 in the shopping center intersecting E William Cannon Dr. Decent sized dining area with a buffet area (I assume for lunch). THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here on a Sunday night with a couple of friends and it was empty! That didn't matter because the food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Butter chicken, Lamb Biryani and Saag Paneer. Alongside the mains, we got butter, jalapeno and garlic naan. It was plenty of food for 4 people. Each dish was great. I would have enjoyed the Lamb Biryani more if every bite i had didn't crunch into a aromatic (e.g. fennel seed, big chunk of ginger). Otherwise great food and would come back for sure! THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done here was $72 for 3 entrees and 3 naans. Probably the best indian food in Austin, must try for sure.

Excellent! Was not expecting the flavor of the food, everything was beyond my expectations. The ambience was on point. Really loved the music. The service was beyond. The place is extremely clean. Definitely coming back. Thank you so much! Must try: samosa and the rice and the chicken. Amazing.

The butter chicken is fine, the tikka masala is a slam dunk and I always get the lamb! The chicken lollipops are literally addicting. The cheesy naan is the best thing ever created. I try to eat here every month and if I'm lucky every week, it's so damn good!

The Chef was very rude to my girlfriend, trying to convince her that her food wasn't spicy at all. Listen dude, there's a literal chili pepper on the plate. If the lady says it's too spicy...then it's too spicy. Own it and stop harassing the customer. They didn't even bother to take it off the bill.

We came in on Saturday night on the Memorial Day weekend. Plenty of seating available. Service was good. Kadai paneer had too much of the tomato gravy, we prefer it to be bit more on the drier side. We have had better Kadai Paneer elsewhere. Dahl was quite simple just like homemade. Naan and kulfi were good

Excellent food & service. The restaurant is immaculate. Great indian food. I love their butter naan. The butter lamb was yummy. Rarely, do I give a 5 star rating. This restaurant goes way beyond the call of duty. If you love indian food,you cannot go wrong.

This place is the best! The menu has everything you could want for great prices, which is hard to find these days. The food is fantastic and their fusion cuisine items are off the charts delicious. Not to mention, their portions are big! totally worth it. Will be going back again and again.

Please open a buffet All You Can Eat like in the old times. Prices are too high, why. Please open BUFFET. !!!!!!

Chicken Tikka Masala used to be REALLY good. Then they got a new chef and it's now oily and spice less. The photos of the dish on Yelp speak for themselves. I'll try it again and fix this review if the food improves back to how it once was.

By far my favorite Indian Cuisine in Austin. A group of 4 of use came on a Sunday night and was seated immediately. The servers were very knowledgeable about the menu and quick to accommodate. Highly recommend ordering family style so you can try multiple dishes. My favorites were the butter chicken, garlic naan and the paneer saag. The jalapeño naan and lamb biryani had great flavor and spice, but beware, the spices were in thick chunks, overall, the food didn't taste overly salty! Truly felt like a home cooked meal to me.

Food was delicious, great service, sat in a nice comfy booth. The vegetable samosas are the best I've ever had. Vegetable Tikki Masala was excellent

Food is good the service was alright and the ambiance is not good no extra money spent on it at all.

Asiana hit the Indian food crave for my family! we didn't know dinner was only take-out (due to staff shortage), but it was only ~20 minute wait! definitely pre-order before going! we ordered garlic nan paneer kulcha- stuffed bread with paneer lamb biryani butter chicken saag paneer - cottage cheese & creamed spinach bagara baigan - baby eggplant all super duper good! first time trying saag paneer & it is my fav dish! also remember to get the mango lassi - you will not regret!

Seriously delicious food - will definitely be coming back! Atmosphere is great, nice and clean, and friendly staff. So good!

My bf and I loved this place for a long time, but our last visit put us off forever. I mentioned my food was really spicy, but the waitress and chef tried to convince me it wasn't and gaslight me, even though it had chili peppers in it...The chef was rude and defensive instead of trying to make it right. I was nearly in tears because of how bad it was. They refused to remake the dish and charged us in full, even though I sent it back. Horrible service. It's sad because we were big fans and even left great reviews before and told everyone about them. Super disappointing.

Finally visited this place for lunch after so many years. I remember it always being delicious especially with the buffet that they had. They now have new management and are trying to work on bringing the buffet back full time, but right now it's available SOMETIMES on the weekends. We went for lunch during the week and was fairly empty, so thankfully the food came out pretty fast, but they're definitely short staffed which makes the service experience a little challenging but understandable. We ordered the chicken lollipops to start, but that came out at the end. Either way, so delicious! Entrees: 1. Dal Makhani - delicious and definitely will reorder next time. Comes with rice 2. Malai Kofta - I didn't try this but seemed to be a hit at the table. Comes with rice 3. Goat biryani - comes with raita (yogurt mix) and it was definitely spicy but delicious 4. Lamb Hyderabadi curry - this was spiccyy but also tasty. They brought out free gulab jamun for our friends birthday for all of us which was really sweet and a great end to the meal. Went into a food coma after this. Go check it out!

Food was great. The butter chicken was excellent. The Rasam soup was something new for me. I loved it. The Cauliflower 65 was too heavy. But great flavor. The staff was nice and attentive. My only complaint is the men's restroom. It smells like 42 raccoons have died in it. It's absolutely gross. Would return, but they gotta do something about the bathrooms

Delicious, fluffy naan and creamy saag paneer. The cauliflower 65 was a bit of an odd texture, but still flavorful. Overall, would go back for takeout if the food quality is as good.

I've tried about four or five indian restaurants in the Austin area so far, and this one has been the best. While I didn't try a huge variety of meals here, you definitely can't go wrong with the chicken Tikka masala, samosas, butter chicken, and garlic naan. This was enough for two, and lasted 2-3 meals. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of their extensive menu!

Fantastic, no-holds-barred Indian food. Naan choices are great. Some of the best saag paneer I've ever had.
