We ordered the chicken tikka masala and paneer masala, and both were absolutely delicious. The garlic naan was light, flaky, and packed with great flavor without being over-the-top garlicky. To top it off, the mango lassi was fantastic! Overall, I give this restaurant a 10/10. The restaurant itself has a wonderful environment with great music. I totally recommend it, and we will definitely be back!

I was so excited to see on a fb post from Nameste of goat curry being offered during buffet time…read more That being said We were not impressed by the quantity of it or any of the offered items. We came in about 45 minutes after opening time, we were greeted and seated promptly. We were then offered drinks! We chose water , which was at room temp ( disappointing). Then the host walked us through how the buffet works. My disappointment was that we came in pretty early(12:30) and the buffet wasn't really ready for the public . Beyond that the buffet includes naan tableside - which was 1/2 of a naan and wasn't included in the buffet price ( disappointing). So our understanding was if you ask for more naan ! You pay for that?????? Any way! We ate and felt like we needed to not eat as much to save food for others. Buffet should be full and ready for lunch! This wasn't.

Wow! What a hidden gem! I regularly pick up food near Dwaraka's and had never really noticed this…read moreplace. It's amazing. The food is incredible and homemade. You can taste the authenticy. Please remember they make their dishes per order and this takes time. A good curry or biryani is not made in 15 minutes. We ordered several dishes. To start we had the samosas, pakoras, and my child had the children's chicken lollypop appetizer. For the main dishes we had the hydrabadi chicken biryani, aloo chole, and my child had the keema child's biryani. We also had the mint cilantro chutney and it reminds me of homemade chutney. All were very flavorful and very fresh. My aloo was served with a good portion of rice. All the portions were large. We ate here on Sunday and we still have leftover biryani and I'm finishing my aloo. One thing we noticed that was odd compared to where I usually visit was the server. They were kind of awkward at first and had the "melinneal stare." BUT consider that people can be neurodivergent! The service was great and prompt. It was a bit warm, but the server heard our comments and went and moved a big fan they had out to combat how warm it was. I highly recommend trying them out! To the chefs - please please please put the tomato dahl you have on your online ordering! I'd come here weekly to taste your version.

I came for the curry and stayed for the naan! Walked in on Friday evening and it was quiet inside…read more This was our first time trying this spot. It did get busier as we were dining. We ordered the pepper chicken, Andhra chicken curry, Hyderabad chicken dum biryani and garlic naan. The pepper chicken had good flavor. I should have asked for something spicier than the medium spice level as it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. The chicken curry was good with tender pieces of chicken. The chicken biryani came with two pieces of chicken on a bone and the flavor was good. I will need to come back to try more items. This place was definitely busy with to go orders.

We will definitely be back again soon for fresh and warm food.

Savory curry that's soothing and delicious! Appreciate the extensive selection and great prices…read more Nice portions as we had plenty of leftovers. They had a clean and neat interior with a welcoming atmosphere. Our food came out quickly after ordering. The food was super hot so be careful not to burn yourself. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Channa Masala are tasty! Choose your spice level on a scale of 1-5. We got #3 for medium, which had good heat without being overpowering. Love all the different spices that gave much depth. Both curries were super flavorful, so a small scoop on top of your given rice goes a long way. The Garlic Naan had some subtle garlic flavor and you can see real bits of garlic on top. Would have liked a stronger garlic flavor. Nice flakiness though. It is kind of hidden in the back of the plaza next to the Cinemark theaters. Make the trip over there for delicious curries!

I tried the Ulavacharu soup--absolutely delicious. It's main ingredient is horse gram, which apparently is in the legume family. It wasn't like any soup I've had before, so description is a bit tough. It was fairly spicy to start with, but less so as I kept eating it. The only things I could identify was ground up horse gram, some sweet onions, and some thinly shaved ginger, but it had a lot of complexity. Highly recommend that and the rose milk (especially if you need some relief from the spiciness when you start out.) I had a little bit of my friend's butter chicken sauce, and that was excellent too. More heavily tomato-based than I'm used to, but a lot of depth of flavor. I'd happily order that in the future. I can't wait to come back and try their buffet when my diet restrictions are over :) Service was great. I asked if a few of the menu items have coconut in them since I'm allergic, and our server double checked with the kitchen for me and was very nice about it. Really pretty dining room as well. The location isn't as central as I'd like, but that does make it easy to find parking in the lot. Definitely recommend!

The chicken tikka and butter chicken were creamy and delicious, great portions, fluffy basmati rice. The garlic naan was crispy, yet fluffy, great flavor, and just such a solid meal. The mango lassi deserves its own description, definitely the best mango lassi I've ever had, and in the discussion for one of the best drinks I've tasted. I will be thinking about this drink for so long, it was thick, creamy, flavorful, but not too rich or overpowering. Very extensive menu with plenty of options, service was very good too. It was a tad warm inside, the music was a little bit loud for my taste, and I wish the water was not room temperature on a hot day with hot food, but really such a great experience and an 'Austin' highlight of Indian food.

We ordered a variety of dishes to share, all of which had generous portions: - Aloo tikki chaat - prepared and served fresh, this street food delicacy was a delight to try and a great start to our meal. - Spinach pakoras were crunchy, hot and tasty. Our party of 4 devoured this appetizer. - Hariyali Chicken Kebab - this was not what I expected. It was served with a gravy like a curry, when I'd expected a dry kebab dish from the grill. It was not my favorite. - Malai Kofta - yum! Not oily, just perfect. - Aloo Naan - very good, though I would've preferred paratha and was surprised that parathas weren't on the menu in a Punjabi restaurant. Ambiance is nothing to write home about. If you are craving a good, authentic north Indian meal with warm service, Bayleaf is a must visit.
