Gang, I was stuck…read moreon a project from 7am to 1:30pm on US 183 north of Leander and left the job for Austin with a hankering for Indian food. I am a sucker for hole in the wall places at gas stations so I saw from Google a place at the Quick Mart at Bagdad and Hero Way that had good reviews for Indian food. So I gave it a try and so glad I did! I got their Classic Chicken Tikka Masala - Spicy and could not be more pleased! Great portion and flavor so spot on and spice level perfect! Good job Quick Mart Leander!!! I will be back.

I sort of suspect the same folks, or relatives/friends own this place, because the food is VERY similar. I have tried many of the vegetarian and non-vegetarian main dishes, appetizers, breads, etc. and it's a bit less expensive, but just as great IMHO. And as I originally wrote when I reviewed the original owner, it's in a a GAS STATION!! You can't go wrong with either place.

We ordered the dahi vada, street-style noodles, street-style fried rice, and finished off with their Irani chai, which was hands-down the highlight. The food was flavorful, and the chai really hit the spot especially after a long drive back from the long weekend. The service was quick and friendly, and overall, it was a really nice stop. Definitely a hidden gem if you're craving some familiar Indian street food in a cozy, laid-back setting.

The baba ganoush was super creamy and slightly smoky - perfect! We split the combo meat over rice, choosing chicken shawarma and kofta kabob. The chicken consisted of little shavings spread over the rice. It was slightly dry, though flavored nicely. Still quite good. The kofta kebab, though, was the highlight. Ever so slight crunch on the outside, moist and juicy inside with a wonderful aromatic, spiced flavor. Service was attentive and helpful. Very sweet young lady. I don't remember the time we went - maybe on the late side for luch. There was ample seating, which surprised me given the quality. I feel like we stumbled on a gem here. We'll be back for sure!

The Hop Queen ordered the non-veg lunch special, butter chicken, and I ordered the Vindaloo (spicy), as this is my usual litmus test for a new Indian restaurant. Everything was prepared fresh for us, nothing tasted like it had been prepped before we arrived. Lots of fresh spice flavour, and the naan was a bit different (in a good way) from other places - nice texture and crunch with the flavour. Lots of interesting looking items on menu, it was a nice touch that almost all were ID'd with a specific region in India. Would be fun to work through the menu and try different items!

Kids love the butter chicken. We've also catered from them 2-3 times for large parties 100 people and it was all really good.

The city should definitely check.

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.

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.
