Hey mister Owner, For god sake, if you don’t know what your dish looks like or tastes like then don’t make it. Do you even know how to make Bombay grilled sandwich. When I first saw it was disgust at first sight. It’s like 2 pieces of depressing bread with mashed potatoes. On top of that you charge like a 5 star Michelin restaurant. Even the homeless would be disappointed. Here is a picture of abomination of a Bombay grilled sandwich that you’re selling. Update your boards, very dissatisfied. 😒 Good luck to your ripoff food business.

I tried the Irani Chai, Aloo Samosa, and Veg Kheema Biryani. The Irani Chai and Aloo Samosa were fairly good. The chai was enjoyable, and the samosa had a nice crispy exterior with tasty aloo stuffing. My only complaint was that the dough layer inside the samosa was a bit too thick for my liking. While these weren’t the best chai and samosa I’ve had they were still decent. Coming to the Veg Kheema Biryani, it was unfortunately a letdown. The dish was quite oily, and the oiliness seemed to overpower the biryani flavors. As a result I couldn’t really appreciate the taste of the biryani itself. I probably wouldn’t order this dish again.

First thing that stands out is how beautiful the restaurant looks… very spacious, well-designed, and a really nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. The menu has tons of variety, which makes it great for groups or anyone who likes trying different dishes. One of the highlights for us was the Mandi… definitely one of the best and a must-try here. They also have a live chaat station after 4 PM every day, which adds a fun touch and gives you even more fresh options to enjoy. Another standout was the fresh sugarcane juice, which was super refreshing, and of course their Irani chai, which is one of the most popular items here for a reason. They even make custom cakes, which shows how much variety this place offers beyond just regular dining. Overall, a really impressive spot in the Round Rock/Austin area with great food, lots of options, and a beautiful setting. Definitely worth visiting!

I recently ordered Juicy Chicken Mandi and Veg Mandi on Uber Eats during a Buy 1 Get 1 offer, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The restaurant listed two separate options for chicken mandi: “Juicy Chicken Mandi” and “Chicken Fry Piece Mandi.” However, what they actually served was the same thing for both. Instead of preparing authentic juicy mandi chicken — which is normally boiled or slow-cooked with spices and steamed in the mandi gravy — they simply used a deep-fried chicken piece and covered it with gravy to call it “juicy mandi.” That is not how real juicy mandi is prepared. The chicken itself tasted bitter, likely because it was overcooked, and the attempt to make it “spicy” was honestly quite strange. Rather than properly blending Indian spices or masala into the dish, they just added chilli flakes on top of the chicken, extra green chilies, chilli powder in the gravy, and an excessive amount of cloves in the rice to force a spicy taste on the tongue. It felt careless and poorly executed. The Buy 1 Get 1 offer also felt misleading. The total quantity for both items combined was basically equal to just one normal order, not two. It seemed more like a

This spot is a really welcome addition to the neighborhood—it’s the kind of place the area has been missing. The food is good, and what stands out most is the impressive variety on offer. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory, sweet, light, or hearty, there’s a solid range of choices that should satisfy different tastes and cravings without feeling limited or repetitive. I was especially impressed by the bakery section—the pastries, breads, and other baked goods looked (and tasted) remarkably fresh, with that appealing just-out-of-the-oven quality you hope for but don’t always get. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Friendly vibe, quality ingredients, and thoughtful options all come together to make it a place worth returning to. Definitely recommending it to anyone nearby!
