    Side of Fried rice
    Preetesh V.

    What I adore about the place is the decor, ambiance and welcoming vibe. There is plenty of selection in the menu. They also offer limited selection of beer and wine. I would recommend to try the Indo-Chinese variety offered here as they specialize in that area. The kebab and curry selection is also fine. The food lacks the wow effect but is decent and acceptable. Overall if you are around the RR outlet mall area, it's worth a visit to refuel.

    Was craving indo-chinese and tried Monks ! I must say , the restaurant is clean and beautiful ! It gives you a very fresh and welcoming feeling. We were immediately seated on a weeknight ! We ordered the Manchow soup, panner Manchurian, and street style noodles, added a side of veg fried rice and we also ordered some stuff off kids menu ! The service was quick & attentive and the food taste was really good and delicious ! The owner or manger also came to get our feedback on the food. The pricing is on a moderate side . We definitely want to be back to try some other options that looked equally interesting. Ample of parking space available around.

    Welcoming, clean, biz-casual ambience... Fresh! So many choices with as many different flavors! #Savorful Went with a not-too-spicy Chicken Masala. Fragrant... perfect. The male server, Naveen, was pleasant & quick with the order... happily, bc I missed breakfast & my body needed fuel. Ample parking, if you get here when they open. Otherwise, you're competing for space with patrons of nearby restaurants & other retail spaces.

    Dirty tables dirty windows, spit on them what a disgusting place food on the table from previous night service. I can't even imagine what the kitchen looks like.

    Street Style Rice w/ chicken and egg.

    Fantastic, quick and friendly service. Will eat here often! Delicious first dish. They have many I look forward to trying.

    We visited Monks for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the range of flavors -- their Chicken butter Masala and Garlic Naan were both fragrant and satisfying, and the Indo-Chinese dishes had a nice balance of spice and umami. The space is clean with a comfortable vibe, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back to try more from the menu!

    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 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.

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.
