NileGuide Expert Says:
Despite the enormous size of the dining room, this upscale ethnic restaurant is constantly packed. Avoid a long wait by making reservations, even if it's the same day.
Description:
- Set in an attractive stone building, this Indian restaurant serves mostly North Indian food from the clay pit. The chef Maqbool Ahmed is the real McCoy, having served a stint at the Oberoi Hotel in New Delhi and has brought his panache for the tandoor to Austin. A must eat at this restaurant is the Tandoori platter bedecked with chicken, lamb, broccoli, tomatoes and even zucchini. As always, Indian restaurants are a haven for vegetarians and this is no exception serving Dals, Paneer and a lot of veggie curries.

There are so many great tasting contemporary Indian dishes here, too many to describe. Their cocktail list is just as interesting as the food.
