I only went to the vegan / gluten free / oil free buffet, so I can’t speak to the regular menu.

The food was ok, ordered paneer biryani, manchuria and paneer masala. We asked for spicy and none of them were extremely spicy, they were medium at best. Paneer biryani was like a curry mixed in basmati rice. Lacha paratha was not lacha paratha. Manchuri was fine and freshly made. Only paneer masala curry was good. The prices are high for the quality and quantity.

Delicious food and nice ambiance inside. It was empty during the evening of Saturday when we went but I have a lovely time with my wife and we enjoyed the food. Highly recommend the Chicken 65!

The food is excellent here! One of the best tasting Indian food! They have a large menu for gluten free and dairy free options. Vegan options too. Very personal customer service feeling. Not busy in the evenings so great place to grab a bite to eat when your crunch with time. This rating is based on the food and service.

This place is excellent. The vegitarian and vegan menu is extensive and varried. The dishes were flavorful, well spiced, and the eggplant was particularly well roasted. The Indian food in Austin is generally disappointing so it was a present surprise to find this place. Looking forward to trying the buffet on the weekends.

Really appreciated the vegan buffet. Would love to see vegan options that are *not* also gluten free and oil free though. The chana was good and I liked the rice cakes, but some of the dishes were lacking flavor, which shouldn’t happen with Indian food 🙂 but any vegan buffet will get my endoresment!

Nice lunch buffet with veggie options with free dosas. Some buffet items were cold. Delicious, super fresh garlic naan served. Fast, attentive service. Flavors not as good as the previous owner of Madras Pavilion.

Lots of food color, wrong taste/recipe and lack of flavors.. we also got hair in the food. Our guests hated the food. Paneer kadhai had raw tomatoes and extra spicy with long lost black hair and not to forget tons of dirty red oil. Maybe we were the last order and they wanted to close the kitchen. Horrible!
