"Every part of Sangam Chettinad’s menu—soups, appetizers, and entrees—is broken down into vegetarian and non-vegetarian sections, each with almost more options than you can count. If you know what you want, congratulations on being decisive. For everyone else, show up on the weekend and you can get one of the thali combos that comes with a massive assortment of curries, dhals, yogurts, pickles, and rice. Indian food has always been one of the most vegetarian-friendly cuisines, and Sangam Chettinad in Jollyville is some of the best in Austin." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"While the Milwood restaurant offers dishes from the entire country of India, its specialties lean more towards Southern Indian, especially Chettinad cuisine from the Tamil Nadu state. The breakfast menu includes egg dosas, idiyappam (rice noodles) paired with coconut milk, and potato masalas. The lunch and dinner menus are more expansive, with entrees such as mutton chops, tangy fish curries, boiled egg masalas, idlis, dosas, and halwa (a pudding-ish dessert). You can grab any mealtime dish to go or have it delivered on Uber Eats and Doordash, but consider coming into Sangam, getting a table, and sampling a few margaritas from the bar before ordering some masala." - Deven Wilson
"Sifting through Sangam Chettinad’s massive menu of soups, appetizers, and entrees feels like reading a textbook of classic South Indian dishes. If you know what you want, congratulations on being decisive. For everyone else, show up on the weekend and get one of the thali combos that comes with a massive assortment of curries, dhals, yogurts, pickles, and rice. It can feel chaotic on the weekends, with a crowd of people waiting in the entryway for a table and the phone constantly ringing for takeout and delivery orders. Just show up during the week or spend that extra time poring over the long menu." - nicolai mccrary
"This North Austin restaurant serves a South Indian menu with dosas, idiyappam (steamed rice noodles), uthappams (a type of dosa), and appams (a type of pancake) paired with delicious chutneys and curries. The vanjaram meen curry (kingfish curry), which tastes like it’s straight from coastal South India, is tangy with the perfect blend of Chettinad masala spices. The karaikudi nattu kozhi masala (country chicken) is another must-try specialty. Eat in one of the comfy booths or order to-go online." - Erin Russell
"For those seeking out vegetarian-focused Indian food, this Milwood restaurant is the place to be. The mostly South Indian menu (with some northern dishes) offers many vegetarian dishes, like stuffed eggplant, creamy aviyal with vegetables with coconut milk and yogurt, biryani, dosas, and much more. Though it’s in a strip mall and a little drab inside, there’s enough space even for large parties. Place to-go orders online." - Erin Russell
