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.

Have you ever walked into an ethnic spot, looked around and saw nothing but people of that culture?…read moreTHAT'S EXACTLY what happened to me when I came here with the fam. It was a little intimidating but mostly exciting. The vibe here was mostly straight business. Waiters standing around like in a military stance, legs shoulder width apart, hands behind their backs waiting for any signs from their tables needing anything. I will keep it 100 and say that our waiter wasn't exactly warm and inviting but they were attentive. The atmosphere is decorated ornately and kinda made me feel like an emperor of sorts, or at least some random squire in the court. We ordered an absolute feast ranging from chicken tikka masala, to garlic naan, rice, samosas, a fresh mango yogurt drink and some flavored tea. Everything was delicious and jam packed with spices. This was one of the few restaurant experiences I've had in the past couple years where I gorged beyond my usual limit bc it was THAT good. My one minor complaint is the chicken tikka masala was more sauce than actual chicken which I found somewhat annoying but I quickly forgave them. The bill came soon after I requested it and the price was fair considering the quality of food we got was top notch. This place has got it going on like a fine lady from Beverly Hills but as you'd expect some attitude from a gorgeous lass that knows she's got it going on, the same can be said for a great restaurant. Ignore the 'tude and come enjoy the grub, it's worth it.

It is a smaller place, and they have only one high chair, heads up. We ordered a few different things to get a sense of how their flavor profile is. We ordered the following: Vegetable Samosa - great ratio of dough and filling; the green side sauce is so fresh and amazing. Butter Chicken - amazing, buttery, flavorful chicken. Vegetable Biryani - very flavorful and just the right amount of vegetables. Spicy Chicken Kodai - this was a fantastic one of our favorites. Mix Vegetable Curry - this was yummy as well but nothing special. Butter , Chili, and Garlic Naan. The naans are great, but if you love a kick, get the chili one. Overall, we really enjoyed this place. I think we have now found our go-to Indian spot in this area. Their menu items do say which region the food is from. We will be back to try other menu items.

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!

My food arrived hot, which was a plus, but unfortunately that was about the only positive. I ordered the chicken shahi korma, medium spice, with plain naan. The korma had basically zero spice, even though I ordered it medium, and the portion was noticeably smaller than what I've received in the past. The naan was absolutely unacceptable. It was extremely hard, stale and had been sitting around for who knows how long. It just crumbled into pieces to where I couldn't even eat it and had to throw it away. After ordering from here so many times, I expected better. This was easily my worst experience with Bayleaf, and I was very disappointed with the quality of today's food. And to whoever packed the naan up, shame on you.

Aug 13, 2025 review for PARMER branch location…read more ---- I understand that this is the page for Leander Location but I'm leaving the review here since they don't have the yelp page created yet for PARMER location. We went there on a weekday dinner around 8pm. They just had the grand opening couple of days ago. We ordered masala dosa and veg uttpam. Both items came quickly. I was really amazed to see their plate and utensils. Sambhar came in a really big bowl and all 3 chutneys (coconut, peanut, tomato) were also good. The waitress came to check in on us after few mins. We provided her feedback. Restaurant is spacious and restrooms were clean. Location is good as lot of Indian families in this area but good competition as well with other south Indian restaurant. They also have bunch of pastry and snacks options pre made and available at the counter. Its a women owned restaurant. Really nice to see another good restaurant in this area.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My husband and I visit regularly--almost every month. The restaurant is spacious and very clean. They serve food on Corelle dinnerware, which elevates the dining experience, and keep several water bottles on each table for convenience. In addition to the waitstaff, they use a food delivery robot, which adds a fun touch. Yesterday, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chole Bhature, and 10 pieces of Dahi Puri. The food arrived quickly, with the kebabs still sizzling on the plate. The spice level of the Tikka Kebab was spot on, and the Chole Bhature was delicious--even getting a stamp of approval from my husband! The Dahi Puris were so good that we couldn't stop eating until they were all gone. We highly recommend this spot.

We asked for "baby spice" for our spice level, and they did a great job accommodating us. Everything still had plenty of flavor and just the right amount of heat for us without being overbearing. The restaurant itself is pretty no-frills and could use a little touching up, but everything was clean and service was quick. I also really enjoyed the authentic music playing throughout dinner--it added a lot to the experience. Definitely a great unexpected find and a place we'll be coming back to.

One of the most memorable dishes we had was a special that our server highly recommended--and it was truly a showstopper. I wish I had gotten the exact name because I can't find it on their online menu, but visually and flavor-wise it was stunning. It came wrapped and cooked in a banana leaf, layered with rich, velvety saag, what tasted like thin dosa or chapati layers, egg, aromatic spices, tender chunks of meat, and curry, all melded together into this beautifully perfumed, steamy package. It was served with a cooling yogurt sauce and a chili sauce that balanced the heat perfectly. The presentation alone was gorgeous, and the flavors were deep, earthy, and incredibly comforting. We also ordered the curry goat, which was delicately spiced with a wonderful, slow-building heat. The meat was tender, the gravy rich without being heavy, and it paired perfectly with the simple white rice that let the complex spices shine. The tandoori goat chops were the family favorite by far. Everyone loved the smoky char and bold marinade. Personally, I found them a bit softer than I prefer, but the flavor was outstanding--robust, well-seasoned, and unmistakably tandoori. Finally, we ordered the Tandoori Pomfret to go, and I had it later with rice porridge. It was absolutely scrumptious. The fish was fragrant, beautifully spiced, and still juicy, making it the perfect comfort meal with the warm, soothing porridge. Overall, Subham Chettinad Grill delivers authentic, soulful Indian cooking with layers of spice, heat, and aroma that feel both traditional and thoughtfully prepared. If you're looking for real South Indian and Chettinad-style flavors in Austin, this place is a must-try.
