Went on a monday afternoon.This place in north austin is basically for delivery but we wanted to try dine-in.Ordered hyderabadi chicken biryani and dindigul Thalappakatti mutton biryani.Both biryanis didnt taste anywhere near to the ones in other places.Chicken and mutton were not fresh.Sai was the person who was courteous enough to provide us with things like warm water whenever we asked and provided 5% discount when the bill was paid in cash.Food - 2/5Service - 4/5Ambience - 2/5Accomotes 80 people at once. But we were the only diners at that time on a hot scorching afternoon

Thought Id give it a try since it is close to my office. My butter chicken was anything but buttery, watery and flavorless. Like canned tomato sauce no seasoning. Going to have to take it home and dress it up to make it edible.One of the most expensive in this area I would expect better quality ingredients. There are way too many good Indian places around to waste your time on this one.

Despite the reviews, I just tried this place through Uber Eats, while we have a couple go to Indian places near us they were closed. I thought the dishes were well done, we had Tikka Masala Chicken, Samosas and Garlic Naan. I'm picky about Naan and this was very good. The Samosas were right, not perfect, but good Samosas, the green mint chutney is one of the best I've had. The chicken in the curry I could tell it was char grilled but was very tender. The food was 5 stars. The price is why I gave it 4. We used a BOGO through Uber but if not for that would not have been worth the value.

We've tried biryanis from various restaurants in this region, some had stronger flavors. I assume the flavor is in the curry poured onto it. We had the order delivered. Biryani portions were big and there was lots of meat. The Mutton Soup only filled one rice bowl and had two pieces of meat. The soup tasted good though expensive for that amount.

Terrible and dangerously unhygienic food is served here in the name of their Friday and Monday specials. I found pieces of paper and plastic in their mutton biryani we ordered recently. The rice was all dried up (probably left outside for many days) and the meat was also dry and literally black in color.This wasn't my first experience with them. I called them twice before to report similar instances like uncooked food etc. I was okay to write them off as one off mistakes due to the Covid situation. This time I know it wasn't a mistake but they are being very irresponsible. If you don't want to get sick after eating, this is not the place you want to go to. Save yourself some time and money!Never going back again! I would rate it zero if I could!

( Update this after two days after leaving the review I still didn’t get an refund or anyone have contacted me from. This place) Ima be 100% honest I wanted to like the food so much but The food was disgusting nothing was food I never had chicken curry like that it was flavourless and there was so much onions and onions was cut so big and the soup from the chicken curry was just colored water the water becomes thicker when u cook it good with the masala also bought chicken tikka but got lamb tikka even tho I had to pay extra dollar more for the chicken tikka and pulkha was burned and super hard it tasted nothing like it should and I got both of the item mild spicy level but one was away spicier than the other one and we had to through away the food it ruined my tastebud I want my money back and never buying anything from here ever again

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this restaurant. The tandoor fish we ordered had absolutely zero spices in there. The mushroom pepper fry and Andhra chicken were a tad bit better than this making it just edible. What a waste of time and money!

They misplaced the order substituting a non veg dish for a veg dish and kept arguing it was not. Will not be ordering again from this place.

Always great mutton and goat dishes. We have never been disappointed

When you think of a buffet you think of lavish spread. We went to dine in for Nala's sunday brunch buffet. Firstly the selection of food , the quality of food was deplorable. But as we had already served ourselves we sat down to eat. The food was stale/ cold from first bite. When we told the owner/server who came to serve the burnt naan's to our table that food is cold he went over to the buffet table and from there yelled back food is hot enough. They had one burner in the middle for two half trays and decided the food was getting hot enough...it was audaciously shameful. We threw away good money at $14.99+ taxes per person for 4 adults and same charged for our child, as the restaurant gave two hoots to us or our dining experience. We went out to an Indian restaurant to eat after two years and quickly realised take away is the new norm as dine in has gone down the drain. Take my two cents and don't waste your money on their buffet. We will never dine in ever again. Best steer clear of a place which does not address customer concerns and are inhospitable in hospitality industry.
