Best WLM Reviews
Wow this place is so different because it's on the side of a highway, looks like an old liquor store and serves Indian food with epic paintings of Ganesh on the side patio and on the inside you feel like you're in an old musty pub. Need I say more? Have I completely sold this place!? Good, come with me on my fantastic Whip in adventure.
It wasn't my idea to come here, it was my friends because I have genius friends. They were always intrigued by the strange looking Whip In sign off the side of the highway, beconing people to try their Indian food. Who wouldn't be intrigued? So we arrived, ordered some beers (they have a wide variety!) and sat outside on the patio. I'm kicking myself now for not taking some great pictures of Ganesh - next time.
After a while we decide to order some food and settle on:
paneer tikka - quite nice, it comes with a sauce and lime which compliments the flavour
bhindi masala - mild with nice flavor. I didn't get the slimy texture I usually get with okra which was a plus
spicy paneer tikka masal - I liked this one because it was creamy with a good amount of heat
dosa- the dosa came with sauce and a daal and was packed full of potato and veggies
naan - yum!
The food was quite good and the overall vibe was a lot of fun. It's such an unexpected place, definitely try it!
Love at first bite! I didn't know what to expect from this unique dining experience but it was perfection from start to finish. We ordered samosas, chicken lollypops, lamb kebab and the chicken tikka masala naan pizza. Everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious. There are so many excellent draught beer options it is hard to choose what's next. The bartender was super friendly and offered samples of the beers we were not familiar with. The take home beer selection is outstanding. If I lived in Austin I'd be a regular, for sure.
I've been here several times over the last few years! Their food is great, the place very much feels like Austin if that makes sense. They have a large selection of craft and local beer, absolutely delicious Indian food, a charming outdoor area to sit, and really nice staff. The only drawbacks are the pricing (a teensy bit high for what you get), and the place might look a little sketchy from the outside, but it's a really cozy and stylized inside and in the outdoor seating area.
Can't believe it's been 3 years already! Celebrating my birthday at @whipIN has become a tradition. Every year, they manage to surprise me with incredible food, a fantastic atmosphere, and impeccable service. We always have a blast with 30-50 guests, and @whipIN always delivers. Thank you for making my birthdays so special! ???? #birthday #whipIN #foodie
I love places like this… restaurant/ bar/ market. Not to mention - indian food?! Rather than the typical bar food is a big win in my book.
4/5 tikka masala
3.5/5 garlic naan
5/5 vibessss + service was incredible
Wow what an incredible meal. Chicken lollipops were savory, spicy, tender and delicious. 10/10. Same with the gobi manchurian- seasoned and cooked perfectly. 10/10. I had the korma with lamb for an entree and damn, it was SO good. Again, there was so much flavor! It had a decent amount of heat, but not overwhelmingly so that it masked the flavors of the dish. 10/10. I live in the neighborhood (also a native Austinite) and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to eat here! The beer and wine selection is also quite good, and they also carry ice cream; quite literally a one stop shop for a cozy night in! Will be back!
Stopped in on a whim for lunch & so happy we did!! Love the vibe & had a great playlist going while we were there. We ordered the samosas, chicken biryani, tikka masala & garlic naan. Food was
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! They make it fresh when you order & portions were generous - had to get go boxes (yay leftovers!). Have a cool courtyard that’s dog friendly. Can’t wait to go back & try some other items & maybe checkout happy hour as they have more beer & wine than you can shake a stick at, LOL.
Austin has lost another one of our great hot spots. As long as I can remember the Whip Inn was known for having one of the best beer selections in Austin. I was in Austin and stopped in tonight to relive some memories. When I asked about available beer options, I was informed by the bartender that the only Belgian ale they had was Blue Moon. Big disappointment at what was one of my favorite spots when I lived in town.
