This place is right around the corner so I decided to give it a whirl…read more I ordered online, and got there to pick up at the time it said it would be ready. There was one customer waiting, and not another person. I waited about ten minutes. My son loves chicken Tikka masala, so we ordered him some. It is spicy. I'm into a moderate spice, and this is burning my lips as I type. There was no option when ordering online to determine level of spice so we weren't ready for that. Beyond the spice the chicken was tough, so even if the spice was toned down the chicken wasn't great. The tandoori chicken is nice and flavorful and tender. $17 for three drumsticks and two thighs might be a bit steep. Overall not an overwhelmingly good experience.

The restaurant is clean, well decorated and ready for your visit! The staff are super friendly. I drove home with my order and it was piping hot and spectacular. Chicken tikka is spicy, mildly sweet and so delicious. A great way to conquer allergy season! The paneer butter masala had a lot of paneer. Many other locals have tiny bits of paneer in a sea of gravy. At Tamarind you will not be disappointed! Don't miss the potato samosas... Come on Austin, let's show these guys more lunch time love!

According to a close friend, Safran Austin located on Far West Boulevard, is especially known for being the first in Austin to feature a dedicated Nepalese menu I was not very hungry so I ordered the Chicken 65 (spicy deep-fried chicken with tomatoes, curry leaves, and ginger) ...a South Indian specialty. The chicken nuggets were doused in a flavorful curry seasoned and they were super moist and fresh tasting. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. My server, Dipka, was kind and helpful. She offered me water to go as it was pretty hot outside...nice touxh. There are a plethora of vegetarian, vegan, and halal offerings. Looking forward to returning and exploring more menu items...

We've heard great things about Sangam Chettinad from a friend and recently saw them on Infatuation…read moreAustin's Top 25 Restaurants, so we finally went to see what all the hype was about and WOW! We've had really good food at other Indian restaurants before, but sometimes the service, atmosphere, or cleanliness can be a little hit or miss. Sangam seriously stood out because they delivered on ALL of it. They were BUSY, like a shit ton of people waiting outside busy , but somehow that didn't affect the quality of the food, speed of service, or cleanliness of the restaurant. Our food came out quickly, everything was fresh, and the whole place still felt incredibly well run. Our waitress Mandipa was AMAZING. She was attentive, patient, never made us feel rushed while ordering, and helped guide us through the menu since so many of the dishes were new to us. And the FOOD... the flavors and cook on everything were what really separated this place from others we've tried. The mutton was incredibly well seasoned, tender, and easily one of our favorite dishes. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and our shrimp dish actually had a solid amount of shrimp, all plump and cooked just right. The garlic naan was LOADED with garlic in the best way and stayed soft and fluffy throughout the entire meal, which is surprisingly rare, plus most places never put enough garlic. We ordered everything medium spice and were honestly impressed that the spice level actually matched what we expected. It had the perfect amount of heat to make you feel it, but not so much that it covered up the flavor. We LOVE spice, so it was refreshing to have "medium" actually bring some heat while still letting all those spices and ingredients shine. If you're sensitive to spicy just note, it might be a little hot for you, depending on what you order. The daily special benne dosa was another standout, crispy, buttery, and the sauces served with it were OUTSTANDING. Even dessert surprised us. The Carrot Halwa topped with ice cream was phenomenal and the perfect way to finish. Every dish had such developed, layered flavor like it had been cooking forever soaking up all those spices and fresh ingredients. This has officially been added to our favorite restaurants in Austin, and we can absolutely see why Infatuation Austin rated it one of the Top 25 restaurants. Hands down the best Indian restaurant we've been to to date. We just moved to Leander, so we're VERY excited they're opening a location closer to us. Highly recommend!

Super fresh, mouth bursting flavors, lil spicy but not to bad just seriously delicious. I do wish the naan was a tad bit more garlic-y but other than that 10/10. The fries were also super good, i know theyre just fries, but dipping them in the tikki masala sauce, damn good! My wife liked her wrap, but said there was to much cheese for her liking, and it was just sort of weird having cheese with the indian food flavors in her opinion. She said she would do the wrap again but with no cheese... and she also really loved my tacos.... We will definately be back to try the bowls and pizza one day, although my tacos were hard to beat! Next time I must try the street style chaat, that sounds amazing to. Keep up the good work guys!

I ordered Tikka Shack through Uber Eats because I was REALLY craving Indian food, so maybe my…read moreexpectations were a little too high, but unfortunately this just didn't hit for me. Overall, I thought the food was just okay and didn't really satisfy the craving I was hoping it would. I also felt like the portions were surprisingly small for the price, so it didn't feel like a great value. One thing that especially caught me off guard was that they charge by each individual piece of naan, which honestly felt a little excessive considering how expensive everything already was. I know delivery can sometimes affect the quality of the food, so I can only speak to my experience ordering through Uber Eats. Based on this meal though, I left feeling a little underwhelmed and don't know that I'd order from here again. With so many great Indian restaurants around, I personally think there are better options when you're craving Indian food.

Meet a few friends and we tried various dishes. The restaurant was clean and quaint inside with several tables and booths. There was one person working the dining area and they got busy by the time we left. As a table shareable items were the creamy Brussels sprout and the Kothey momo (dumplings), main dish I got the Tandoori Salmon and it was delicious. When they were walking out with the sizzling skillet I was thinking who ordered this?! And it was me. lol the Brussels sprouts had a great flavor and I enjoyed this as well as the momos. Overall I enjoyed the food and would recommend if you're in the area. The menu is quite extensive so be prepared to make some tuff choices. The restrooms were a bit odd as they seemed to be not fully built out, almost an after thought? Perhaps.

I started with the Nepali Chiya (chai) it was sweeter, nicely spiced and made in house! I highly recommend it for any chai lovers.

We also went with the momo (Nepali Dumplings. We went with the Kothey momos which you can choose from veg or chicken ($9) and they come with 5 served with a dipping sauce. These were another hit! The sauce was served room temp and not spicy at all. Very well balanced. For my main I went with the lamb biriyani! And great selection! The rice could have been a bit more seasoned but overall 9/10. My friend got the salmon and it looked amazing! This place is really cute and spacious! Plenty of seating, quick and friendly service and lots of parking since it's in a shopping center!

I was a little concerned it might not be spicy enough since it was described as mild, but I was able to kick up the heat to medium, and wow, it was packed with flavor! It's honestly the tastiest Indian meal I've enjoyed in Austin so far. Our friendly waitress also mentioned they serve a buffet from 11 AM to 3 PM on weekends, with more than 60 tempting dishes to choose from. Looks like our next visit will be a weekend splurge--stretchy pants definitely recommended!

TL;DR: -Food was delicious, beautiful, served quickly…read more-Service was ok to awful. Very pushy, seems they are still 'soft launching' despite reviews going back to at least November 2025 -Only beer and wine If you can set aside abysmal service then I would say give this place a try, as the food was at least very, very good. My three friends and I came here for our 'monthly' dinner out. We made reservations but it didn't appear they were necessary. There is plenty of parking which is a major plus. The inside is beautiful and clean and the tables are BIG which is so nice for family style situations. The first waitress that assisted us was friendly and helpful. We inquired about cocktails and she stated they only served wine and beer. When we asked about the wine list, there wasn't one, and she wasn't able to tell us whites from red and had to go get her notes. While waiting for drinks, a second waitress arrived to take our food order. She seemed very insistent on recommending specific appetizers: mosaru vade, cauliflower varuthathu, and the goat sukka. Everyone in the group seemed fine with those options, so that's what we ordered. Our drinks arrived with a third person who identified herself as the bar manager. She stated cocktails would be 'coming soon' despite reviews from February saying the same thing, and asked if we had any suggestions. One friend suggested a cocktail with mint, I suggested a cocktail with pomegranate, as one of the appetizers had it as an ingredient. We were then told that nether of those suggestions were particularly helpful, as a lot of the ingredients she needed weren't available in India? It was an odd convo and its possible we misunderstood her. By the time ordering entrees came around, I'd started to hear other tables being told certain items on the menu provided were not available. When the same waitress that suggested appetizers came to take our entrees, she didn't even ask what we wanted and instead told us we should order the chicken tikka and the palak paneer. One friend tried to order kal dosa and was told they didn't have it, at which point the waitress again told us what things we should order and then stated 'this is our soft launch, so we don't have some things'. I'd planned on ordering Mangalore Squid for my entree but realized at this point that despite the size of the menu, it was clear that they were only cooking and serving specific items. Everything that we ordered was delicious, beautifully served, and came out hot and quick. I have zero complaints about the food. Once the bill came, the same pushy waitress put down a giant, laminated QR code and insisted we leave a review. We paid, she left, then looped back around, tapped on the QR code and said 'You leaving a review is the most important thing to us' then walked off again. She then came back a third time, said 'are you done with this??' and snatched the QR code so some other table could be pressured into a review I assume. As we were leaving, we merged with another group outside that was discussing their meal and commenting on things reflecting our experience. I told them I could tell them exactly what they ordered despite not being at their table, and then rattled off what we'd been told to order; it was item for item. So my main complaint here is print out a menu that reflects what you're serving. You can't 'soft launch' forever and its actually not fair to your wait staff to set up a menu that results in them having to tell people multiple times that something isn't available while also simultaneously pressuring the table into ordering what IS available. It really tainted the entire experience for me personally.

Still working on their beverage selection. And staff still need to go through more training. If you come here to expect Michelin star level experience, you will be disappointed.
