I didn’t take a photo of my food while I was in the restaurant because I didn’t think about it.
But holy hell in a handbasket, that is the best Indian food I have had in Austin and I have had Indian food in Austin over the last 20 years that has been absolutely wonderful.
But I read on the sub that this restaurant is pretty amazing and I 100% agree. I can’t believe how good it is.
In addition to our newly cleaned fridge, those are leftovers of the lamb korma, and the lamb vindaloo, and Kashmiri Naan.
The lamb was divine. The sauces are chef’s kiss. The naan amazing.
And I had the madras coffee which was also the best madras specific coffee I’ve personally had
What a gem. I’m so happy to have finally eaten there.

Definitely try to get up North for Indian if you can. Rock n grill and Curry Kitchen are so good. Bombay street food and konfused desi are also great.

Nice.
People here have been complaining about them a lot recently though, saying ownership changed etc. Idk, but glad you enjoyed it.

I haven’t been but everyone says it’s awful now. This is the first positive review I’ve seen of it from someone who has gone recently.

They used to be great but i agree something shifted after the pandemic. Their food is so anemic now. We switched to Jaipur Palace which i think is doing a better job.

Interesting. Are you sure it’s good or do you just think it’s good because old posts on this sub have told you that? All the recent posts on this sub say Asiana sucks since they were sold last year. Did you ever go before they changed hands?

Every time I see a review of an Indian place I have one question: is the author Indian? If not… chances are pretty high that they find it better than it is due to their own spice-starved cuisines back home

Long long time ago, Asiana was the best Indian food in town and I kept raving about it online. It was featured in many articles as the best. I haven’t been back in a year since it’s far from me but it certainly had a leg up. If you have a chance, try sangam chettinad and let me know what you think.

Austin’s Indian food game is honestly pretty weak. Asiana was in it’s prime a decade ago. How is it we have restaurants named “Biryani Pot” and “Clay Pot”, yet no one serves dum biryani in a traditional clay pot with the bread cover that gets broken at the table? That shit is fire, yet no one here is doing it. It’s just butter chicken central, which is the equivalent of ordering a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks.

Asiana is average-to-below-average Indian food. Was just there last week. Very bland and underseasoned.
Sangam Chettinad is a bit far up north, but that’s where it’s at.
