The food and flavors at siti are amazing! The roti canai was a great starter, the bread was fluffy and the curry was bursting with flavor. Service was great, everyone was friendly and helped explain the menu since it was our first time here! The laksa and hiramasa were standouts! We ended up dipping the roti into the laksa curry as well. Ended with dessert - pretty sure we got the kaya toast. It was wonderful, and they decorated the place well! My aunt kept complimenting the cute seating and lamps. Will definitely come back for a cozy date night or with friends! read more

Some friends and I came to Siti for a friend's birthday dinner and it was the perfect spot for this celebration. The birthday girl is a huge fan of SE asian food and Siti definitely hit the spot for this craving. The interior ambiance is very fancy and the decor is gorgeous which really gives you a feeling of an elevated experience. The staff were all super attentive and kind and our waiter was helpful in recommending the most popular dishes. I ordered their pandan foam drink and it was so good. Very light and refreshing and made me tipsy which is all I can ask for in a cocktail. Almost all the dishes we ordered were amazing. I was a major fan of the pork belly and chicken wings in particular. The seasoning and crisp on the chicken wings were great and the pork belly had such a juicy and tender texture. The only dish we didn't enjoy was the adobo as it was very dry and did not have a lot of sauce but other than that, a very solid spot. read more

Tried SITI this Thursday during Happy Hour and honestly, this is one of the best Southeast Asian meals I've had in Austin. This is a Michelin Guide-listed restaurant, and it definitely leans more refined than your typical Southeast Asian spot. It's not a random fusion concept--there's a clear identity here. The menu is cohesive and rooted in Nanyang (Malay/Singaporean) cuisine, not a mix of unrelated dishes. Flavors feel authentic, but the execution is more modern and polished. What we ordered: 1. HH Roti Canai - The standout of the night. Flaky on the outside, slightly chewy inside, served with an incredibly rich bone marrow curry. Super aromatic and hard to stop eating 2. HH Chicken Wings - Sweet, slightly spicy, and well-balanced. You can really taste the Southeast Asian spices--more depth than standard wings 3. HH Hiramasa - Probably the least memorable dish for me. It leans more modern with Thai chili oil and Asian pear. Light, fresh, slightly tangy and herbal--well-executed, just not very exciting 4. Laksa - Coconut and galangal broth is fragrant, and the seafood portion is decent. Flavor is good, but lighter than more traditional versions 5. HH Beef Rendang (beef cheek) - A classic slow-braised coconut curry dish. The beef is very tender, and the lemongrass, turmeric, and coconut flavors are deep and well-developed. Great with rice Overall: Definitely worth trying, especially if you're interested in a more refined take on Southeast Asian cuisine. This is not a casual, street-style spot with big portions and wok hei--it's a more modern interpretation of traditional flavors. Well-executed and distinctive, but on the pricier side. However, I feel the Happy Hour does not make sense to me since it just reduces the size of the dishes Ambience: Dim lighting, tropical touches, slightly colonial-inspired decor--quiet enough and very date-night friendly Service: Professional and attentive. Staff take time to explain dishes and ingredients, which adds to the experience read more

We were able to get a table on a Friday night - spectacular service, great selection of drinks and good food! Loved the roti canai here - their dipping curry was very flavorful! Their skewers were also freshly made and paired well with their dipping sauces. My husband loved the seafood laksa. The ambience is very pretty and dim lit - perfect for date night! read more

It hurts my heart to give this spot a 3. Several months ago I had a dinner crew here where we tried several items on the menu, and ALL were fantastic. We have a lot of picky folks and everyone left satisfied. Today I came to try the brunch and everything was just a liiiiiiiittle off. Vietnamese coffee- solid, but you can't really screw up drip with condensed milk. It was a little odd that the waiter came up to explain to me how to do it and then took the little plate immediately after I pulled the filter off so I had nowhere to put my spoon after mixing. Brisket nasi goreng- very salty and the brisket leaned chewy? Not up to Ali's standards at La Barbecue from what know so I'm not sure what happened here, maybe the reheating ruined it? The sauces that came with it were delicious though. Char siu wonton noodles- came with a wonton soup that was very eggy but no flavor. The noodles were very flavorful, yet the pork had nothing going for it. Looking at the menu, I was happy to see longsilog, my childhood comfort meal yet confused at the "Filipino style" vegetarian adobo.. If I'm ordering adobo anywhere, it's DEFINITELY not veg. It's a cute spot, with a bit of gimmicky decor (versus a nice nod/ode to south eastern culture). read more

Loveeee!! This is the sister restaurant to El Raval and I was so excited to check it out (cuz I LOVE El Raval). My husband and I came here for brunch on Saturday and we were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful interior. We also got a reservation as soon as they opened so service was quick. Our server had good food recs and we went with: La Barbecue Nasi Goreng Nasi Lemak Roti with Banana for dessert Iced Teh Tarek and Vietnamese Coffee for drinks The Nasi Goreng was super flavorful and I got to try the Michelin-starred La Barbecue Brisket for the first time! Didn't know Siti partnered with them. That was a nice surprise. The fatty parts were the best haha! The dish comes with an Italian and Vietnamese sauce. Both were great, but I liked the Viet sauce more because it was a bit sweeter. Nasi Lemak was also yummy! The chicken wings were seasoned well. My husband usually doesn't like eating wings because they can get messy with the bones and everything but when he got a few munches, he loved it! By this point, we were pretty full but we can't say no to dessert!! We got the Roti with Banana and the bananas were caramelized well. Loveee coconut ice cream (again, my husband doesn't usually like coconut flavored things but also enjoyed this LOL). I sadly couldn't finish the last roti piece but I was seriously STUFFED. Vietnamese coffee comes hot. Thank you Siti for accommodating my husband when he asked for it to be less sweet. But then, he wanted it to be a little more sweet, so the server got some condensed milk for him to pour into the coffee. I loved the Malaysian pulled tea but was sad I finished it all in like 5 gulps. The ice cubes are huge and take up most of the glass so it would have been nice to get a refill or something. $8 is pretty steep for this drink but considering how I don't know how to make it...take my money! I wanted to eat the fortune cookie decoration behind where we were seated... Siti is a true 5 star restaurant because there wasn't a single dish I didn't enjoy and everything was cooked perfectly. We had some Valentine's Day credit from InKind and that significantly lowered the bill. I would agree with other reviewers that some items seem overpriced but considering that we ate all this for a fraction of the cost, my husband and I had a great time. No designated parking so GL finding street parking read more

This place brings me back to Indonesia and a bit of the Philippines. Friendly staff, good food. Sometimes there's a wait but the food comes out well presented so that's good.

The interior is pretty, the flavors are unique, and the dishes are very high quality. *Elevated* Southeast Asian food. I was so happy to see classic Malaysian dishes like roti and laksa from my homeland, and Kare Kare from the Phillipines. Though - It is EXPENSIVE. We split the roti appetizer ($12) and the Rice Noodle Dish ($38) that also had duck confit, shrimp, and Chinese Sausage. We also had a couple drinks ($17-18) which had interesting Asian flavors. We sat outside since it's all that they had left. The staff were super nice :) read more

As a Southeast Asian, I had been wanting to dine here. We finally got a reservation, made 3 weeks ahead. My husband is gluten sensitive and their menu (on the website) didn't have gluten markings. But they assured us there were plenty gluten free dishes. Sure enough, there were plenty. In summary: the food was really good. The place was filled with energetic buzz. The decor was elegant with a touch of Southeast Asian flare: chairs with rattan back, black and white picture of ladies in a house, pictures of old alleys. We ordered: Arrak & Aura for me, Citrus Salad, Beef Rendang, Sambal Striped Bass, and sautéed greens & mushrooms. My favorite was actually the sautéed greens & mushrooms. The green beans were crisp, cooked just right. Tasted soooo good. My second favorite was the citrus salad. It's got a nice kick (spicy but not too spicy) and some crunchy toppings. The Sambal Striped Bass was good but I would've liked it to have more spiciness in it. We were warned it was spicy but it's really not. If you've lived in Austin for a while, you'll fine many salsas here a lot spicier than this dish. Even the citrus salad I thought was spicier than the fish. The Beef Rendang was just so so. Not to brag but my son made better Rendang than this. The dish needed more spices: cumin or coriander. And more chilies. The Arrak & Aura tasted good. The drink was made with coconut & pandan washed rum. But I couldn't taste any coconut or smell any pandan aroma. Regardless, there were other dishes that caught my eyes but we didn't get to try. So we will most likely be back! read more

Siti is easily one of the best new Asian restaurants to hit the Austin dining scene recently. Taking over Poeta's former eastside space it feels like a completely different restaurant leaning into dark, moody tones that set the vibe perfectly. But the real star here is the food and drinks. The wagyu spring roll is a must-order, both the flavor and presentation stand out and set the tone for the rest of the meal. The crab fried rice was hands down my favorite dish; the pork floss on top takes it to another level. The wok-fried noodles are also a solid choice, especially if you enjoy duck and are looking for a larger, shareable dish. Everything was perfectly paired with their turmeric-infused Old Fashioned, a fun and adventurous twist on the classic. To top it off the service was excellent from start to finish, attentive without ever feeling intrusive. They've recently launched a brunch menu and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more of what Siti has to offer. read more

Went here last night finally and we had a delicious meal, especially since happy hour was on from 5-6pm. We started with their crudo (on HH menu) which had delicious flavors. Then ordered the beef cheeks (HH menu) - so tender and tasty. From the regular menu we ordered the roti canai with lamb curry and the laksa with noodles. Both super filling and also delicious! The prices are steep for the non HH items, which can be somewhat hard to justify but the flavors were delicious! Will definitely be back for happy hour again. read more

My fiancé and I met another couple at Siti for dinner recently. We found free street parking a block away and headed inside. We had a reservation and were sat a little bit later. The restaurant was a little on the louder side, and there was an odd, almost bathroom smell upon entering. Nevertheless, the food on other tables looked good, so we didn't think anything of it! We ordered several drinks and a bunch of food to share. The sauces were DELICIOUS. The roti was flavorful and the cab bag was seriously so good. We had several other dishes including the wood fired noodles, pork belly, and the crab and lobster dish. We also got a few chicken skewers. All were tasty. For dessert, we got the banana split and some ice cream. Our server asked us if we wanted 2 spoons, and we said 4 would be better. She misheard us and brought out 4 scoops of ice cream, which was confusing and not what we wanted. I am only giving Siti 3 stars because of two reasons. First, it is very pricey. The bill was over $400 with tax and tip. I just did not feel the meal merited that. Second, both my fiancé and me ended up with so much stomach pain an hour after the meal. We both felt like we were going to be sick, which you never want after a nice, expensive restaurant. I really was worried for several hours. Sadly, I don't plan on coming back. read more

Siti is far from traditional. It's more of a chef-driven blend of multiple Southeast Asian cuisines, to the point where you're not always sure which one you're tasting in a given dish. They've taken over the former Poeta space (SAD!) and have transformed the area to look more Asian colonial-inspired. For our party of three, we shared everything family-style and chose three of the "larger" dishes from the menu: -Wok-Fired Rice Noodles ($38): I would interpret this as Siti's version of Pad See Ew, upgraded with sliced Chinese sausage and a duck leg. -44 Farms Beef Cheeks ($35): Siti's rendition on Beef Rendang. It's rich and stew-like, so definitely ask for more rice--the amount they serve is embarrassingly small for this dish. -Laksa ($32) Not your traditional laksa; this version includes scallops and prawns, which aren't typically standard in classic recipes PRO TIP: Ask for some Roti on the side to dip into the soup! It's giving me curry As many Yelpers have mentioned, prices are STEEP ($40 for "pad see ew"?!), but so is everything else in Austin... if you're looking for a fraction of the cost either find someone's grandmother or book a trip STAT! read more

At first I thought this was fusion. But I'm glad it's not, and instead, it is a nice reimagining of dishes using ingredients available here. Grilled Seabass -- nice spicy sambal. At first, I thought the fish was nice and smokey. However, it turns out that they burned their fish, so much so that the bitterness permeated through the flesh, especially on the edges. When I inspected the skin, the perimeter of the skin was blackened. Imagine outlining the skin of the fish with a black sharpie that is about half a centimeter wide. This lead to a very unpleasant bitterness. The bitterness took the enjoyment out of the fish when eaten alone. However, I realized that to enjoy this dish, one should combine the fish with the accompanying ingredients. When put together make a really great bite. Unfortunately, the bitterness of the fish was a negative. Beef Cheek -- tender beef cheek. This dish was under-seasoned. A reasonable adjustment would be to include more of the slightly pickled herbs. Technically there was lime and more sambal, but the herbs would have lended a continual contrast to the richness of the beef. Rice -- I preferred the nasi santan served with the fish compared to the banana leaf pandan rice served with the beef cheek. Banana Split -- this was basically a deconstructed banana split, similar to most of the dishes here, where each component is separate. Each element was uninteresting on its own, but the combinations led to good bites. House Shrub -- this was pleasant and herbal, with at least galangal and maybe some ginger. My overall impressions of their food: Grilling of their fish was poor executed. Vegetable elements were really well done, and if you combine everything, then the flavors are quite good. However, is this choose your own adventure eating? It is with Siti. The staff don't mention this at all; you just have to realize that all their foods are presented as separate components. All dishes we ordered had their components separated. The components alone were rather boring, but putting everything together makes for wonderful bites. However, it can be risky to separate the components without informing a patron who doesn't know any better. I would suggest a bit more guidance when eating to those less informed (e.g. provide a suggestion to combine certain items when presenting the dish). As for the restaurant itself, it's rather charming inside. There is some booth seating along the wall by the bathroom, and there are mahjong pieces setup in certain corners. The lights are neat. There's a bar. The noise level can be loud, while some of the staff are soft spoken. read more

Siti is a new southeast-asian fusion restaurant located in the bottom floor of the eclectic Frances "modern inn". I was not aware of a dedicated lot so you will have to find street parking off 11th street which usually has a decent amount of spots within a 3 - 5 minute walk. The ambiance when you first walk in is great - it's a nice modern build with beautiful sharp colors and high end finishes. Definitely worthy of a "step-it-up date night" type of spot. Service is great, and menu is just the right size. There's a mix of lighter bites (apps, smalls, satays, sides) and about 4 - 5 "larger entrees" so it's easy to stay focused without being overwhelmed. The most important part of a restaurant is its food, and Siti DELIVERED. I'm usually skeptical walking into a fusion restaurant because sometimes they overdo the fusion and lose the essence of the base cuisine that is so important to the actual flavors and dishes. Siti does not make this fatal flaw and you truly taste the southeastern core of every dish (strong coconut, lemongrass, etc) while adding just a whisp of new to make it fresh and exciting. Every dish we ordered was amazing, but if force ranked: Laksa - I would eat this everyday. It's so creamy, savory, and yet not too heavy. Roti - fried just right, flavored without being forceful Chicken Satay - literally perfect. The accompanying pickles and acidity blended with the mild salty char so well Beef Randang - a bit heavy but intended to mix with the banana leaf rice which really balances out the dish. Overall Siti blew me away. I think I've been disappointed in the last 3 - 4 new "Asian fusion"' places I've been and Siti is now restoring my faith in the idea that Asian fusion can be executed well. I will be back! read more

THE BIG: Located in East Austin right off of E 11th street. This southeast asian fusion restaurant combines the best of all southeast asian cuisines and in one spot! Street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with the wife on a friday night and had a reservation but my flight came in late. Fortunately we were able to snag a spot at the bar and order there. The interior is super nice and vibey like an upscale speakeasy. For food, we got three dishes that included the Ayam penyet wings, roti canai and chili crab claws. Everything tasted great, however the portions were small. The chili crab claws were cute and you got the soak in the flavors of the curry from the dish. The chicken wings werea good size and came with a nice dipping sauce. I also can't complain about the roti canai that came with bone marrow. So so good *drool* THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, the damage done here for three dishes was around $102. Hefty but delicious dish. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes. read more

Great spot to try SE Asian / Singaporean food in Austin! There was one menu item that drew us in and the Chili Crab & Lobster dish is a must order (and repeat)! It's been a few years since we've visited Singapore, and this dish along with the friend Mantou brought back awesome memories!!! It was our first visit and we'll definitely be back with friends to try more! Dishes ordered: - Beef short rib stay - perfectly tender and great char - Roti Canai - the roti was under cooked (chewy with raw dough) and greasy, bone marrow and curry dip lacked flavor / seasoning. - Chili Crab & Lobster - for this dish alone, I'm rating Siti 5 The XO sauce was a wonderful balance between spicy and sweet. While the mantou was a bit over fried on the outside; however the inside was pillowy soft and made the perfect vessel to cover in chili sauce and top with lobster. read more

Giving 4 stars for the great creativity and service of siti. While the concept is great and presentation of the dishes were beautiful, the flavors just fell a little flat for me. Having lived most of my life in the Bay Area eating at a variety of Singaporean restaurants (and also having been to Singapore), this meal paled a bit in comparison of flavor and seemed a bit overpriced. I'd skip the bone marrow, the dessert (it says pandan but was barely any pandan flavor), the chili crab, and the lamb. The deep fried spring rolls, beef cheeks, charred cabbage ($21 was a little steep), and roti was good. read more

checked out @sitiatx two weeks ago + still thinking about that bass. restaurant staff super nice, helpful + accommodating. I called a few days ahead to add a person to my reservation + although we couldn't add someone for that specific time, the host provided me with other options. when those didn't work, he offered to take my name in case of cancellations. so considerate. it's a smaller restaurant so reservations are a must! our server was a lovely guy + kept our waters full! all of the food was delicious. it was really southeast asian comfort food if you ask me, a non-southeast asian woman who hasn't eaten much food from the culture . we were only saddened by the portion sizes + the wait time for the extra food we ordered. we are used to eating family style + that's what we expected from this cultural place but, the three items we initially ordered wasn't enough for the two of us. we ordered an extra dish and it took so. long. to come out. after a while, I asked our waiter for the ticket + he was shocked that it still hadn't come out. in the end, Siti is delicious + hats off to the chef for bringing something different (and executing it well!) to the east austin food scene. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Siti! My husband and I made reservations at 5:30pm on a Friday night, but were late because of our flights. They were kind to cancel our reservation and seat us at the bar when we arrived at 6pm. Service is exceptional and the food choices are incredible. We had the Chicken Wings, Roti, and Chili Crab, which was enough to share for two people. Each dish was blasting with flavor. Chicken wings were crispy and moist. I loooved the Roti, but wished there was more meat in the bone marrow. They gave us on accident a Chili Crab with Lobster. It was alot of meat and very tasting! Overall, this is a great spot for unique cuisine in Austin. Highly recommend making a reservation! read more

4.5 All in all this was a super satisfying and tasty meal. First, you have to go in with the mindset that this won't be authentic southeast Asian food; rather it's inspired by. I saw some descriptions which said this was elevated Southeast Asian but i still think inspired by is more accurate. Chicken wings: the favorite of the table. These are the largest wings I've ever seen in my LIFE. And the crispiest crisp that there ever was. Great flavors, and LOOOOOVED the tangy citrusy green sambal it came with. 11/10. Charred cabbage: this was a very pleasant surprise. Charred cabbage and bokchoy swimming in a mild green curry. Super substantial dish and great with a squeeze of lime over rice. Note: you must squeeze on the lime, it needs the acidic lift. 8/10. Kare kare oxtail: super generous portion (the bowl was packed), but the kare kare sauce itself was a little lacking in the peanutty oomph. I prefer the kare kare at Oko. 7/10 Roti canai with bone marrow: I'm so split on the dish and probably because the name is roti canai instead of naan with red curry. My favorite part of roti canai is always the flaky buttery layery roti. There was no roti here. It was naan/pita. And it was a nice soft fluffy bread but it just was not roti. So, if you go in knowing that ..9/10? Wok fired rice noodles with duck leg and Chinese sausage: I really liked this dish-- the flavors were great, and it had a kick to it even before adding the sambal. Was not stingy on the meats. 9/10. Beef cheeks: this is supposedly inspired by rendang. There was no detectable connection, however, to rendang. Beef cheeks were tender, but flavor fell a little flat. 6/10. Banana split: okay. I liked that the bananas were brûléed instead of just raw. Thy were the smaller sweeter South asian bananas too. Loved the chocolate namelaka -- it was a semi bitter chocolate that offered the whole dish a good balance. The pandan cream however lacked any pandan flavor. 6/10. Oreo miso ice cream: delicious (and we suspect from the merry monarch?). Great balance of flavors. 10/10. A great addition to our Austin food scene. Lovely interior. Great drinks. read more

Overall, I thought the food of this new Malaysian restaurant was good, but a lot more expensive than it needed to me. The location on east 6th is really great. There's plenty of shops and bars nearby to add to dinner which I think is fun. The restaurant itself is stunning, has beautiful wallpaper, lots of vintage and antique touches. The service is fast, personable, and lively. I ordered the wok fried noodles with duck ($38). The noodles remind me a lot of pad see ew which you can get in Austin for under $20. I just think it was really pricey for the portion size that it was. While shareable, you would need probably 3-4 dishes for two people. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't memorable or unique. I also tried the Roti Canai ($15) that came with a bone marrow and a curry to dip with. I mainly have had negative experiences with bone marrow - seems more effort than it's worth. The fat from the bone marrow was good, and the roti was super buttery and soft. I enjoyed this dish the most. For dessert, we got the banana split ($13) that had chocolate namelaka, pandan cream, Sinagpore Sling cherries. I like the Asian fusion on a classic American dessert, but I don't think the Asian-inspired taste really came through for me, but I still enjoyed it, especially the brulee-d banana tops. read more

We ate at Siti for our anniversary diner and would rate it 4/5. (3.5 rounded up) 1. grilled pork belly - this was my favorite, juicy and flavorful pork 2. chicken satay - shubhs favorite, it was definitely much bigger than other satay i've had, decent 3. nasi lemak - high hopes for one of my fav breakfast dishes aka dried fish, fried egg, shrimp paste. it was delicious except the portions of the fish were so small, i mentioned to the server they skimped out. glad we tried Siti, it was a solid dinner! PSA it is very loud inside and they only let you order the food "family-style" aka placing all the orders at once. read more

Southeast Asian food represent! East Austin gets all the fun new restaurants and I love that Siti is now part of that scene. Between four adults, we ordered three drinks, two apps, three larger plates, and two desserts. Came out to about $70PP after tax and tip, so definitely on the pricier side of things. Food is on the heavier side so don't forget to order your greens! My favorite dish out of everything we got was the charred cabbage, so unexpectedly creamy and flavorful. The other standouts at the table were the pork belly and bone marrow, wish there was more to go around. Husband thought the cocktail was pretty standard and we were both surprised by how simple the tiramisu was - basically a block of vanilla ice cream with cocoa dusting. Service and overall dining room vibes were lovely but bathrooms were kind of a hot mess. For the price range of this restaurant, I was taken aback by how disheveled they were. The floors were wet and strewn with pieces of trash, and one of the toilet seats was literally covered in what I assume is menstrual blood. An unfortunate final note to what was otherwise a nice meal. read more

We dined here a week after their opening day. I was surprised to find it was busy on a Wednesday evening, like what you'd typically see on the weekend. We came with reservations and were seated immediately. The menu isn't extensive so it's not that hard to decide what to order. We shared 3 plates, the laksa, charred cabbage, and beef rendang (listed in order of when they arrived on. I've been to better Southeast Asian restaurants in cities like Atlanta, owned by actual Southeast Asians. Although Siti is in a great location & well designed, the Durian sign did feel "gimmicky" and none of the dishes particularly left a memorable impression. The beef chunks in the rendang didn't taste like beef (or maybe the chef chose too many fatty ones), and the laksa only had 1 piece of shrimp/2 scallops. The pandan rice tasted off. Service was choppy as well, but I gather this will improve after a month in business! If I had to pick a favorite, probably the charred cabbage :) read more

Siti - Roti - Asian Fusion Near Me - Austin, Texas

One star for service and for prices and portion sizes but four stars for actual food taste and quality. My friend celebrated a birthday here and even got a reservation, and we still had to wait nearly 30+ minutes for our table. Pretty ridiculous especially for a group who already had a reservation and had to awkwardly stand by the host stand. Their prices are abysmal and honestly serving people a tiny scoop of fried rice for $30+ and every plate pretty much matching that energy... is shameful. I actually do really like their food, but we ordered maybe 4-5 things and walked out extremely hungry. read more

Located at what used to be Poeta, this restaurant was reimagined into a very intimate space with Southeast Asian influences. My party of 4 was seated in the back patio, and although it was enclosed, it was still pretty hot in the Texas heat. The service was great and we were checked on multiple times. The bone marrow was a great value at $15, the pork belly was a generous serving, and the satay was so tender and flavorful as was their take on the beef rendang. They also gave us some Asian inspired ice cream, which wasn't my favorite, but it capped off the night well. read more

Siti is hands-down one of the best new restaurants in Austin. I have multiple food allergies (gluten, dairy, eggs), and Laila, the chef and co-owner, personally emailed me beforehand with a full breakdown of safe options. That level of care is so rare and immediately made me feel comfortable picking this spot for a large group dinner. We were seated in a semi-private room, which worked perfectly for our group. Parking was simple, and the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere struck the right balance of modern, romantic, and welcoming. The service was truly outstanding. Our servers were warm and attentive throughout the evening, and one of the chefs, Eddie, came out to introduce himself, take a group photo for us, and chat with the table. His kindness and humility made the night feel extra special. As for the food--it was phenomenal. The mushroom + eggplant satay was the standout for me: rich, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I could have eaten several orders of it. I also had the pomelo and citrus salad, which was refreshing and surprisingly large for being listed as a starter. We shared the pork belly ssam, which was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor--one of the best pork dishes I've had in Austin. Drinks were wonderful too; my sparkling rosé paired beautifully with everything. I didn't try dessert myself, but my friends ordered the banana split and tiramisu and said they were the best they'd ever eaten. Portions across the board were generous, and everyone left with leftovers. Between the warm hospitality, incredible food, and welcoming atmosphere, Siti is already one of the best restaurants in East Austin. I'll absolutely be back--especially for that satay. read more
