Food - 10/10: Easily some of the most authentic North Indian food I've had in the Austin area…read more Every dish was packed with flavor and tasted freshly made. The portion sizes were generous too, so you definitely get good value for your money. Service - 10/10: The service really stood out. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about our experience. They checked in on us throughout the meal without being intrusive, which made us feel well taken care of. Ambiance - 7/10: The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and welcoming, but the atmosphere is fairly simple. It's not a place I'd choose for a fine dining experience, but it's perfect for a casual meal with family or friends. One small change that could make a big difference would be swapping the bright white lighting for warmer yellow lighting--it would instantly create a cozier, more inviting vibe. Overall: If you're craving authentic North Indian food in the Austin area, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Great food, excellent service, generous portions, and a satisfying dining experience. I'll definitely be back!

Came in this time planning a minimal lunch (just soup/appetizer), and ordered food for take away…read more As always, portions are fresh and generous, and the to go order was ready to go when we were. Still an awesome value for the quality and quantity of food we get, and we appreciate the adjustable spice levels! They always ask, and then double check after the food is served, to make sure it's what you wanted. I like extra spicy, and they gave me the "make the gori cry" level, and the Hop Queen likes extra mild, and it fits her tolerance well.

They also have desserts displayed that looked yummy. I decided to try something new (Afghani Curry) DELICIOUS! So flavorful with a good kick! Chicken lollipops were so crispy and came with a nice red sauce. Mango lassi was drank within seconds it was great. We will be back for sure!

Got takeout from Spice Matka once and was not impressed. The food was excessively spicy. I am a…read morespicy food lover and am used to Indian cuisine, but can confidently state that this was too much. The amount of spice used was uncomfortable and took away from the flavor of the food. I could hardly taste anything. I'd recommend choosing one of the many other Indian restaurants opening up in the area to try over this one.

Had dinner at Tandoor recently and really enjoyed it. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was…read moreclean and relaxed, and the service was very friendly. The biryani was especially good -- the chicken was moist, flavorful, and literally falling off the bone. The paneer tikka masala was also a standout and full of flavor. Portion sizes were generous and the prices felt like a great value for the quality and amount of food you get. The only thing I'd personally like to see changed would be fountain drinks and ice water instead of canned or bottled drinks, but that's a pretty minor thing overall. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

Tandoor probably has the best Punjabi food in the Austin area. It is very home-style and delicious…read more The space is very kid-friendly too. The restrooms are very clean, which is nice to see as well. The aloo chole halwa puri weekend lunch special is great. If you are Punjabi, you'll find it tastes just like home. I appreciate that they do not add extra oil or cream to their food like some restaurants do. It's simple and homestyle.

The food here is excellent. I tried it randomly based on reviews and it was fantastic. I had the…read morepaneer biryani which was a little different but delicious, especially with the raita. I've also had the veggie tikka masala, which is typically my favorite, and it was great, but my new favorite is paneer makhani. So, so good. Similar to a tikka masala with paneer but better. I highly recommend trying it! I've ordered medium spice level in the past and it has not been very spicy at all. I've only done DoorDash, never been there. It's always been hot, on time, etc. etc.

I appreciate flavor and this place was full of it. My only complaint was that I asked for it to be spicy spicy and it was more flavorful than spicy. Otherwise no complaints! I love Indian food and this spot did not disappoint. The service was speedy and the outdoor dining area is very nice. Will definitely be returning soon to try some more menu options:)

Went there for lunch on Sunday. The place was quite empty. Clean, with just a couple of families…read more Our food came out promptly. We had to return the Hakka noodles because they were extremely spicy. The server was willing to replace it immediately. The biryani wasn't the traditional kind, but the flavors were great. We liked how everything was priced. While some other places have increased their prices by 25%~30% we walked away paying just right for 1 appetizer and 4 entrees.

Walking into our private-ish room, the ceiling was literally leaking, which kind of set the tone…read morefor the night. We started with the pani puri, and it straight up tasted awful. No salt, no flavor on the boiled, unsalted dal. They gave no chutney, no tamarind, just green water. It was really bad. Chicken 65 was basically desi spiced popcorn chicken. Not terrible, but it needed sauce or something to bring it together. Someone later said we could've asked for sauce for this and the pani puri but if it's supposed to come with sauce, shouldn't it just come with it? We shouldn't have to ask. Chicken lollipop was actually pretty good, just a bit salty. Spice level was fine. Gobi Manchurian was also super salty but still tasted good. I'm used to this coming with a small side of rice, nothing here. Moving into the entrees, no one at the table really enjoyed their dosas. I didn't try them myself so can't fully confirm. The chicken tikka dosa was just a plain dosa with chicken tikka on the side, which felt pretty lazy. Chicken Hakka noodles were very peppery and salty. Good for a couple bites, but not something you'd want to finish. Definitely had much better Hakka noodles elsewhere in Austin. Schezwan fried rice never came out, but we were still charged for it. They did eventually make it, but by then we didn't even get to try it. Someone got Manchurian Chicken from the entree - still did not come with rice. Goat dum biryani - I only had a bite. It was decent. The one standout was the Chicken Noodles & Fried Rice Fusion. Easily the best dish of the night. Flavorful but still balanced. If I ever come back, this is what I'd order. For drinks, mango lassi was good. Sitaphal (custard apple) shake was okay. Both came in prepackaged bottles, which was kind of odd. You have a bar... why not just make them fresh? Service was rough. The waiter avoided us like crazy. At one point we had to send someone to go find him. To be fair, we weren't the easiest group to deal with, so I'll give him a bit of a pass. Also worth noting, everything except the noodle dishes came out room temp, which didn't help. Overall, just a very uneven experience. A couple decent dishes and one standout, but too many issues across food, service, and overall execution to overlook.

Ordinary kebab, nothing out of the blue, its just harbhara kebab tikkis, paneer tikka had too much color again ordinary tasting. - Curries: Dalmakhni was really good, Malai kofta was okish and so was paneer lababdaar. Everything tasted good and fresh. - Breads: Laccha parantha was really good, Tandoori roti was good, Chili, garlic and plain naan all tasted good. Each bread was well cooked and tasted great.

I just told my daughter about this place and will bring her family along. There was so much food from our lunch that we had to get a couple of bags to carry leftovers home. I couldn't eat dinner last night and I had some of the leftovers for lunch today. We were the only party at lunch yesterday that were not Indian. That is always a good sign at an ethnic themed restaurant.

Everytime we ordered something the server had to go inside and check if t was available ! It just became super awkward.. we decided to walk out !
