Best WLM Reviews
First time coming to this Indian restaurant! We enjoyed the fact that they do lunch special with $25 including 2 curries, 4 pieces of garlic naan, 3 pieces of kofta with 2 sauces with white rice! Additionally, we ordered vegetable biryanis and garlic nans! Twas full table for us and couldn't finish it but the amount they gave us were good! Very nice service and twas a cozy and quiet environment!
We'll be back again! Keep up the good work! :)
What an amazing experience!
Zest Chef Tinkoo out did him self. The food was out of this world. So much flavor and tenderness. The rack of lamb was hands down my favorite item.
We ordered Veg Jalfrezi and Puri along with Kentucky Mule and Pina Colada. The cocktails were good, the Jalfrezi was just okayish although we have been hearing good reviews about the restaurant. The gulab jamoon that we ordered was very good. Will definitely visit again.
We have been out exploring new restaurants and came across this Indian restaurant. We have found a few very good ones down in Austin and had high hopes for this place. Unfortunately, we did not find it to be worthwhile to recommend or come back to.
It's located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. We arrived right as the restaurant opened and were seated right away. When we go to a new restaurant, we usually try some foods we are familiar with just to get a sense of how good a restaurant is.
Normally I we would order appetizers at an Indian restaurant, but we kept reading about the "Chicken 65" and we started off with that. They are deep fried pieces of chicken with a 'chili' sauce. The chicken chunks didn't taste very fresh and the sauce was very unimpressive. It's a large appetizer and could easily be shared by four people. But I wouldn't recommend; it was lightly covered with the sauce and the chicken didn't taste freshly cooked.
For entrees we had Chicken Tikka and Rogan Josh along with the Garlic Naan bread. The chicken in our dishes seemed to taste very similar to the Chicken 65; a bit over cooked and not quite fresh. And the sauces were only slightly indistinguishable. Other than color, they both tasted very similar. We ordered every "medium" for a spice level but it was more like mild. And the naan bread tasted like something out of a package and not fresh.
We had heard about this place but it really didn't live up how others described it. The service was quite slow; they seem to focus most of their time on filling "to-go" orders. You might be better off ordering to-go and then when you pick it up, asking to eat it at the restaurant.
There are simply too many good Indian restaurants down in Austin to recommend this place and I would rather make the drive to get amazing food than just settle for average.
Overall experience was ok, it was over crowded, very small place, food is very good, price is bit high( most of the Indian restaurants charge some what like this), one order is enough for 2 people, very friendly staff, tap beer is very famous in this restaurant, saw many people ordering. We went during the soft opening time. Hopefully they will continue their good service n quality in future too. Good North Indian restaurant ????????????
Casual atmosphere with delicious food, I got the curry with Naan and it was savory without being oily. Chris had the chicken tandoori, spicy and rich. Prices are reasonable and service is excellent. I can't add photos because we ate it all ! I'll be back.
We loved the food but it was really pricey. We ordered the Sheekh kabob appetizer which is marinated lamb skewers. They were tasty but a little dry compared to what I’m used to at other restaurants. The chutney helped a lot. We had the garlic naan and it was great. I ordered the medium spiced chicken tikka masala. It was delicious but not spicy at all. Next time I’ll order hot. My companion ordered mild lamb korma which was also delicious. We will come again to try more dishes. It’s nice to finally have an Indian food restaurant in the neighborhood!
The food was delicious but there were fewer choices compared to most indian buffets. Their fish curry was the most liked item. There was only one dessert which had dairy and we had a person w dairy allergy in our group so they couldn’t eat it. The ambiance was good and the restaurant was clean.
Overall a decent experience.
