Jaipur Palace - Austin

This is how much chicken comes in an $18 to-go order of tikka masala. And there is only enough rice to cover the bottom of the pan. I saw all of the great reviews online and figured I would order. Maybe you need to eat at the restaurant because I ordered 3 entrees and I feel like combined they have 1 chicken breast in them. Spent well over $50… pretty sad definitely would not order from here again.

Jaipur Palace is an exceptional spot to savor authentic Indian cuisine. It was my second time exploring Indian food, and the server was incredibly helpful with recommendations, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re ever in Austin, Texas, be sure to check it out – you won’t be disappointed!

Overall, it was alright. Paneer Makhani and Bhindi were okay, but the garlic naan and other breads were amazing - shoutout to the bread person! Definitely skip the Gobi Manchurian - terrible choice. Service was great - quick and attentive. Might go back.

Starter we ordered was chicken 65 not great . Chillie paneer not great it was more gravy. Not dry. Main food was good. We Ordered yellow dal was great with bhindi masala was good as well. Naan was fresh soft and good . Shrimp vindaloo was great too. Sweet dish was gulab jamun. Good. Overall great taste apart from let down appetizer. Not consider best like Dallas hashtag India restaurant.

This is our new favorite Indian restaurant now that our old favorite changed it's recipes. It's location is kind of hidden, so we initially stumbling onto it. The food is always fresh and made to order. Unlike a lot of other authentic Indian restaurants, they understand and respect that we want our food "mild". :) We're still working our way around the menu and everything we've tried so far has been excellent (we mostly eat meats and naan). I strongly recommend you give it a try if you're looking for a new place to eat. The staff is always polite and attentive.

Amazing food and catering service!! Our family loves to eat at Jaipur Palace, so we catered Jaipur Palace for my daughter's engagement ceremony. There were around 100 people attending, but the entire ordering process with Sunil was absolutely seamless. The food was delivered without issue, and they even provided people to set up and serve all the guests until the end of the event! All the food was amazing with the perfect spice level, and there were lots of compliments from the guests! With the ease of ordering, high level of communication, and top-notch food, we hope to continue using Jaipur Palace for our catering needs and 100% recommend it for others!

This place has the best north Indian food in south Austin! Their butter chicken and garlic naan are my absolute favorite! It’s tangy and spicy and creamy and just perfect! The quality doesn’t change if you order takeout either which awesome if you just want to order in for the night! Also loved their samosa chaat and the service is great too! 👍🏾

Quite possibly the best Indian restaurant in Austin. After eating at several Indian restaurants in Austin I feel this one is the best. We ordered chilli paneer appetizer that was the perfect texture paneer (tofu) with perfect spice level. We ordered Veg tikka masala and Paneer chilli main dish with spicy naan and wow. The food was just amazing. So much Indian flavor and the portion was huge and price was perfectly set too. The biryani was just incredible. Biryani is hard as you can overwhelm the flavor or under do it. But they managed to make it just right and perfect. It came with Indian yogurt (raita) and unlike other restaurants this is authentic raita. Not your HEB yogurt hastily mixed with cucumber pieces. This was well marinated with pepper and black salt and such. The taste complimented the biryani so well. I was also surprised pleasantly that they gave the food with generous rice and onion salad mix. Anyone can try making Indian food. But the richness of Indian food and the amazing palette and flavor can only be done by some few skilled people. Jaipur Palace is that place.

Best Indian food in all of Austin. The price is fair and the food is amazing. We ordered spicy paneer appetizer that was so perfectly made. Really whet appetite for main course which was veg tikka masala and paneer chilli. Both were generous portions so we had take home and it came so fresh smelling and appealing. We paired it with cilantro chilli naan which was actually moderately spicy and regular garlic naan. While the naan took a bit longer it was perfectly made - not crispy or crunchy nor doughy and thick. It was such a perfect text with the vegetable curries. Then we got Biryani and it was just perfect. The raita yogurt that came with it was actually properly done raita and well marinated. Many Indian places give you some rubbish thinking we do not know. Indian culture and food is so popular here for its colors and flavors that people know. We want properly flavored and spiced and not bland "Americanized". We eat spicy food and the restaurant respected us giving us proper food cooked with spice and flavor. Biryani was really great and satisfying and such a huge portion too. No room for desert but food came with onion chilli salad which made the food really enjoyable. This was truly a great Indian restaurant find in Austin. Best in ATX

I was very pleasantly surprised at how good this place was. This definitely has to be my favorite Indian food place in the south Austin area! I loved the variety of options that they have and the food was just delicious! I ended up getting the vegetable tikka masala, and I have been wanting to go back there every day since. They recommended I pair it with the garlic bread and that was the perfect combo! It was a Tuesday evening when we went and there was plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor and we were served our food within 10 to 15 minutes from ordering. Since this is located in the South Park Meadows shopping center there is plenty of parking and finding the location is very easy. Haley recommend, can't wait until I can go back !

We were there at about 6 p.m. on a weekday evening. There were only a couple of tables in use, and we were told the place is usually much, much busier on weekend evenings. It's a comfortable, casual restaurant with a large, expensive bar lining one wall, and booths along two sides. The roomy center portion was filled with tables. Word of advice: Unless you are as limber as you were in your teen years, sit at one of the tables instead of a booth. I slid into a spacious booth at first, but the seat was so low that I found myself in an uncomfortable squatting position. After extricating my ample body with difficulty, we asked to move to a table. The host graciously put two tables together so our foursome would have plenty of elbow room. It was also practical because of the wide assortment of plates, drinks and dishes that we enjoyed. It took us a while to go through the menu, which carefully lists the ingredients of each item. Our waiter was nearby to answer any questions. It even took a while to decide on the appetizers, but our friends were familiar with at least one of them so that made the choices easier. For starters, wife Karen and I chose the Vegetable Samosa, described as crispy turnovers stuffed with potatoes, green peas and spices, served with tamarind and mint sauce. The two turnovers were cut in halves to make sharing easy among the four of us. They were tasty, with a little bit of the zing I expected, yet unremarkable. The appetizer chosen by friends Rick and Kim was another story, however. They went with the Vegetable Pakora, an Indian fried snack of gram flour, spices, onion, potatoes and spinach, with the same two sauces as ours. This stuff was a real treat, and I could've made a meal out of it. It had the mouth feel and consistency of chocolate/coconut haystacks candy, but savory and crunchy. Now, on to the main event. Before ordering, we paid special attention to the part of the menu that described the levels of spice in the dishes. They are described as "mild," "medium," "spicy," and "Indian spicy." After all the stories I have heard about the spiciness of Indian food, I took these descriptions seriously. I was guessing that "Indian spicy" translates to "burn your tongue off." We were told that unless a different level of spice is requested, the restaurant typically uses "mild" spiciness in their dishes. I selected the Butter Lamb, with "medium" level of spice heat. I chose that level because I was told it's closer to what the Indian people typically eat. I also ordered a basket of the Tandoor-baked Garlic Naan for Karen and me. That's a thin, puffy, chewy flatbread similar to pita. It's perfect for sopping up the sauces and gravies that are integral to many Indian dishes. However, it was a little too garlicky for me. My entree came out in an oval dish filled with chunks of tender lamb cooked in a sauce prepared with tomato, onion, butter, cream, ginger garlic paste, and a mix of spices. It was accompanied by a sizable portion of rice. I didn't ask for directions on how to properly eat this stuff, but I just went to town. I lay down a little mound of the rice and then scooped some of the lamb mixture on top of it. I used the naan to soak up any of the liquid that escaped the middle of the plate. It was all a new, delicious experience. I had enough of my dish and naan left to bring home for a snack. Rick ordered the Butter Chicken with "medium" spice, which was identical to my meal except for his choice of protein. His came with a basket of plain naan. He clearly enjoyed his meal with relish and didn't need to bother with a doggy bag. Kim selected two of her favorite vegetarian dishes, not because she was unusually hungry, but I'm guessing because she likes to have tasty leftovers to cut down on the cooking chores. Each came with a side of rice. She also likes her Indian food with what I consider serious heat, so she had both of hers made with the "spicy" designation. First, she picked the Saag Paneer ($15.95), chunks of homemade cheese cooked in sauce and prepared with spinach, onion, ginger garlic paste, and spices. Then, she added an order of Baingan Bharata ($13.99), minced eggplant grilled over direct fire and cooked with green peas, onion, tomato, and a mix of spices. Both of Kim's entrees were served and dished up similarly to what Rick and I had. Plenty went home with her to enjoy another time. Karen picked the Gulnar Rack of Lamb ($20.99) with "mild" spice. It's a section of lamb cut perpendicularly to the spine. It consisted of four meaty chops marinated with yogurt, lemon juice, and a mix of spices. It was grilled in the tandoor oven and served with tikka sauce on the side. It also came with a side of rice. Lamb is one of Karen's favorite foods, and she unquestionably enjoyed her meal. Three of the chops and some rice came home with her.

I was craving Indian food so I went to this place. This is my second time going there after about a year. The first time was fine. However, this time around was a disappointment. I ordered lamb vindaloo and I only got maybe 4 to 5 pieces of lamb cubes and the rest were potatoes and vegetables. The basmati rice was also a little dry. The sauce was good and the service was decent. For the $23 including tip, I don't think it is worth going back unless they improve this place.

Flavors are right on top of their game. Tried the chicken tika masala which it did not disappoint. My favorite is the garlic naan which had a heap full of diced garlic. Will be coming back again

We frequent the Thai place next door, but have always smelled the delicious Indian spices coming from next door. Today we finally gave it a try. Service was nice and friendly. The vibe of the restaurant is very nice and more "fancy" of a sit-down restaurant with the water goblets and fabric napkins. The food was fantastic! Especially enjoyed the gobi manchurian and the samosa chaat. The butter chicken and saag were both great too. Will happily return!

Solid option for Indian cuisine in the South Austin, Southpark Meadows area. The staff is especially friendly and accommodating when we bringing in the little kiddo, so we are very appreciative! They've always got great music and Bollywood videos playing, so plenty to love if you're looking for a little extra culture compared to a fast food kick. For appetizers, love the Pakora and any Samosas. Plenty of entree options to choose from, both in terms of vegetarian and/or protein options (lamb, beef, goat, chicken, seafood, etc.) as well as spice level. I think the spicy option is the best, but for those who want the extra kick, Indian Spicy will have you nice and warm! Don't forget to try the garlic naan!

The ambiance is casual. I would prefer to order to-go. They made their cocktails too wet, not strong enough. I've been advised to order straight liquor here instead of cocktails in the future. Service was adequate. The food is pretty standard, but they hit the spot.

This is the only Indian food I've tried so far in Texas, but this was a great start. The food here is seasoned and spiced well. Spice level is offered on a range from mild to Indian hot. Compared to spice levels I've had in NY, the spice was pretty tame. I will have to try Indian hot next time. We ordered the goat curry, butter lamb, chicken samosas, veggie samosas, and garlic naan for our food choices. The meats could have been more tender, but nonetheless everything was flavored well and portions were fair. The drinks were good though on the weaker side. Service was consistent and someone was always checking to see how things were. We came in here after a movie and will Definitely be back.

Got Jaipur palace to go bc the smell from the parking lot was too irresistible. Real authentic North Indian quality food and the owners are friendly. I try Korma everywhere we go and it was really solid - not too creamy but spicy and seasoned perfectly and a huge portion. Not for the faint of heart. Will be back to try more!

I want to first start off by saying their customer service is some of the best I've ever experienced, the entire staff was kind, helpful and beyond words!! I've never felt more love and kindness at any restaurant!! Now on to the food, Indian food has never failed me but this restaurant has the secret ingredients to the perfect Indian cuisine! If you haven't tried Jaipur at southpark meadows you have got to try them!!

My friend and I love this place. I'd never really tried anything besides butter chicken at an Indian restaurant and it was my go to bc I'm not big on spicy. Their butter chicken can be ordered at different spice levels and their mild was fantastic. Still had some heat, but wasn't overpowering. This last time we smelled the most amazing sizzling dish when we were sat and asked what it was. The waiter suggested that if we got the Jaipur Mix Grill it was large enough to share and had a mix of several dishes so we could try a bit of all the sizzling plates. When I tell you it was great, it's an understatement. The Tandoori Shrimp & Salmon Tikka were my favorite. Both were tender and seasoned to perfection. The meal came with several styles and a side of Tika sauce for one of the chicken dishes, but it was too good to not have on the rice and the Onion Paneer Naan we got. She and I both ate our fill and the leftovers were enough for dinner that night. My son tried some and loved it too. The staff was so helpful and even explained what each dish on the plate was so we would know what we liked best for next time. I can't wait to come back with the whole family. The atmosphere is beautiful and perfect for a date night too.

My favorite place to get saag paneer !! I've never dined in but have ordered both delivery and take out and the service has always been fast. The employees are really friendly as well and when I go for pickup, the restaurant is bustling but never too crowded. Saag Paneer: 8.5/10 | I get the spiciest level possible and it's so amazing. The paneer is pan fried brown and the curry itself is smooth, silky, and flavorful. Sometimes I add a bit more salt but that's the only change I'll make

This place is fantastic! the food, the service, everything is always great! if you come here, you have to try the butter chicken and naan! thank you all for always wonderful food!!!

Food was very tasty and clean. Service was great too, just prices very high, 1 plate cost almost $20 bucks with taxes, makes it hard to give a tip. Prices in lot of places going up and I think lot of restaurant owners taking advantages of that. I bought biryani few years ago for $9.99 now its $18.99, same portion, lesser meat, dont make sense.

This is definitely top two places to eat Indian food in Austin. I moved on the south side after living up north a few years and this place is amazing it's family run never had anything bad off this menu a local known is asked for the off menu items. Those are usually a good tasty treat, and usually a lot of the staff will be snacking on highly recommend.

After a grueling 2.5 hour drive from Houston to Austin, as per my last review, I immediately stopped by for some amazing Indian food. Our waiter remembered us from 5 months ago as the couple who drives all the way from Houston and gave us spectacular service. Food was AMAZING as me and my wife got shrimp madras, an order of garlic naan, and mango lassi and surely enough we were NOT disappointed. The ambiance is quite chill and felt as if I was eating at a relative's home. As always, I would totally recommend this place and will definitely be back during my next trip to Austin.

My boyfriend and I are in LOVE with Jaipur Palace. The butter chicken has been so consistently delicious every time and the chicken tikka masala to die for. Please don't get me started on the fresh made naan Same servers every time we go, who recognize and greet us with nothing but warm smiles. This place is a diamond in the rough, highly highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious! Generous portion sizes and fantastic samosas. We typically get take out but have had good experiences dining in as well. I'd say that we will make sure to come back... But we already have - multiple times!

I have not been here in quite some time and was in the mood for Indian. I was quickly seated and served water. When I realized I needed to stop looking at my menu, the server was immediately there to take my order which was nice. I ordered pappadum which comes with two yummy chutneys. For my entree, I ordered medium Goat Tikki Masala. This is my first foray into choosing goat which I'm surprised since I've eaten in many places across the world. The goat was tender and scrumptious. And after I decided to put my normal fork/knife eating aside, I was able to eaten by every last non-bone morsel on my plate. Goat is definitely on my order list from now on.

Bad experience. The appetizer was cold and tasted like it was bought frozen from a grocery store . The meat in the Chicken korma was very tough and the gravy was very sweet. They don't even provide appropriate to go boxes for customers.

Fantastic meal. I had butter salmon and garlic Naan. My BFF had the chicken Biryani. What a great experience. Great portions too

Had the chicken vindaloo (not an option to get it non spicy, which was fine with me). And garlic naan. And then more naan. Absolutely delicious. Spicy though, but they will definitely customize the spice to your liking. Great portions, but you won't need a to go box, you'll eat it all right there. Awesome waiter, super clean place, and nobody else was talking loud because they were too busy actually eating their food. Need to try the biryani next time.

I ordered the chicken curry and it had great flavor but only about 5 small pieces of chicken. For the cost of $20 it is not worth it. This is not my first time this happens, it's been about 3-4 consecutive times this has happened.

LOVE! I've ordered take out, delivery, and dined in and I've been happy every single time! This food is soo good! Made fresh. 9/10 times I order the Tikka Masala and honestly I'm never disappointed. Vindaloo is stellar. I order medium spice and it's enough kick for me. My husband always gets spicy and I think my mouth is going to burn, but maybe I'm just a wimp?! Samosas, naan, everything we've tried is just spectacular.

The people here are very friendly. The food, even better. My friend and I ordered the Shrimp Biryani. When I tasted it, it was multi-layered with flavors, starting with a sweet flavor that went away pretty quickly and was replaced by a savory taste. Would definitely recommend. I had the butter chicken with garlic naan. I got mild spice and it was such much food I was able to make a whole meal the next day for lunch. They also sell Basmati rice by the bulk bag. I highly recommend this place... so many different dishes to choose from and so many different cocktails as well as beer!

I order from Jaipur Palace at least twice a month and it is always a solid pick. The chicken Tikka masala is delicious (especially when ordered spicy) though the portions tend to be inconsistent. Some days, the pieces of chicken are stacked up to the top. Other days, there are only like 5-6 chunks. Regardless, the flavor is always there. The mango lassi is also super refreshing.

Have been back several times because this place is just so good! Great service, and delicious food every time. We had a great meal here with friends last night, and I remembered to take pictures for once (I'm usually too greedy!) just not of the appetizers~ they disappeared too fast

Great place, great service love it and the food is delicious I've been several times with my family enjoy it vey much.

The food and the rice and the Nan are all so good and the Nan is perfect doesn't get cold to fast. I wish it was closer and just a bit more affordable but if you want to treat Yoself day definitely recommend this place for Indian food.

Food was fantastic. Service was great as well. We drove with friends of ours an hour away and all of us felt it was worth it.

This is a hidden gem in South Austin near Southpark Meadows. I ordered the butter chicken with garlic naan and the veggie samosas. My friends and I enjoyed our meals. The place was clean, service was quick, and I would come back.

The best Indian food you can get in Austin. Best I've had anywhere. The spicy butter chicken is my go-to. The workers are extremely friendly and have let me try different appetizers/desserts. You can't match that hospitality! The dining room itself is extremely unique, definitely something you'll want to see! This is my favorite restaurant in Austin, you should definitely give it a try!

Good food! I got the butter chicken this time and picked up a lamb dish for a friend to go. I enjoyed the food and the portion sizes were good. It was a bit pricey but for the quality and amount of food it was worth it. I still have plenty of leftovers for days.

This was our first visit, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We started with the vegetable samosas which were delicious, although the accompanying sauces were quite thin and not very flavorful. The butter chicken, however, was nearly perfect. Unlike other butter chicken that tastes like Campbell's tomato soup with cream added, theirs packs a punch just like the garlic naan. After smelling and tasting the rice, I'm not sure that it was basmati. It's always a good sign when a place attracts Indian families. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming, polite and attentive.

Wonderful food and service! The owners are incredibly friendly and accommodating and we enjoy the ambiance as well.

What a sad disappointment on our first and probable only visit. In a geographical void of Indian food, my husband and I were enthusiastic about our Friday date night to Jaipur "Palace". Very unfortunate to earn our 2 stars when the food truly deserves much higher marks. The service however, was appalling. We had to summon the server for our drink and app order. 20 mins. later our beers arrived, then one entree ( of our two ) was served 15 minutes prior to the other. With nobody returning to check on our status, we passed the time counting the water bugs traipsing up the wall in the adjacent booth. Wanting to order additional food and beers... alas, our hopes were dashed. In a feeble plea for table attention, we bussed and stacked heaps of dirty dishes. The owner/GM ( we presumed ) grumpily deposited a couple of to-go containers, slugging off without a word or clearing any dishes, only to reappear with the handheld payment device. We dangled the credit card but asked that he clear the Jenga dishes before regrettably paying for this regrettable evening. #jaiSpuriousPalacialLetDown

I ordered takeout food from Jaipur Palace and was so pleased. The food was ready quickly and the pickup process is easy as they have a dedicated entrance for to-go orders. The food was incredible and a nice portion size. Extremely flavorful. Inside dining looked nice too and it was busy which shows how great the food is here. I will definitely be coming back!

Delicious!! Loved the food here. I have to have gluten free and it was amazing. Will definitely be back!!

The employees were friendly. The butter chicken, chicken masala and lamb vindaloo were very good. Medium heat was perfect and I got to try a taste of Indian spicy to see how spicy it is. Wow! Good but spicy.

I ordered takeout from Jaipur for the first time based on reviews. Unfortunately our dinner was not good. I ordered saag paneer medium spice and shrimp Korma add veg. Neither had much flavor, which is crazy for Indian food. The saag did have spice, but that's it. Seriously, no flavor!! With all the good reviews I was expecting it to be awesome. Maybe we got the wrong things. Probably won't be back

My husband and I had lunch here today for the first time. It was absolutely delicious! He ordered chicken tikki masala. I had the saag paneer and we split our entrees. Our food was brought out piping hot and perfectly seasoned. It was truly the best Indian food we've experienced since moving to the Austin area 6 years ago and we are regulars at a couple of Austin's Indian restuarants. We will definitely be going back to Jaipurs! The service was good, the decor attractive and clean. Our server was attentive, and even the manager stopped by our table to be sure we were pleased with our meal. I'd have given Jaipur Palace a "10" if I could! Sue Ann H.

We had the Paneer Tikka, Vegetable Samosa, Butter Lamb, Chicken Biryani, Assorted Platter Of Chutney (Mango, Mint, Tamarind & Achar), Garlic Naan, Tandoori Roti, and Goat Tikka Masala. Everything was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back. The service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend!

Might be my new favorite Indian place in Austin! (Previously Asiana). Their menu is extensive and full of dishes that you won't find at your typical Indian restaurant; much more than just chicken tikka. Their spice level is no joke and I absolutely love it. Portion sizes are large. But comes with a higher price tag than most Indian restaurants, but I think the flavors are worth it. Lots of types of naan, paratha and other bread. Loved their goat dishes, so flavorful and tender. As a bonus, they have a really nice outdoor patio so you can bring your dog.

Outstanding lamb korma. The mixed grill dish is too much for a single person. Mango Lassi was standard, I had better. Naan and Raita were a good side for the curry. Pricing quite good, 25% off Mon to Thu. Worth a visit but be careful, spicy is truly spicy and you will be quite full.

I love this place so much. The owners are seriously the sweetest. Customer service is always perfect. Chicken Tikka was tender and favorable Garlic Naan was fresh and perfect

This place is by far the best Indian in Austin. Eaten there 5+ times! Every item I've ordered in superb. Up and down the menu its on fire. Ambiance is just okay but I care way more about the food esp since it's a takeout spot

Jaipur is by far the best Indian food I've had in the states so far. We had a huge group and they accommodated very well and gave the best service I've experienced in a while. Let's start with the food. The Aloo Paratha was a great appetizer and the pistachio/coconut naan was amazing. We had many dishes for the entree and they were all good. Just keep in mind that the medium is very spicy. Even the mild was spicy and I usually can take spice very well. The sizzling meat bowls looked so good, I wish I had gotten that. The service. All I have to say is wow. If they were in it for the good review, they sold me. We got dessert and an appetizer on the house and the waitress took the time to explain everything to us. She was very engaging. Overall, we had a blast and will be back.

There is NOTHING to dislike about this place. This place is clean, well kept, and the people who work here are fantastic!
