We stopped in randomly craving some Tikka Masala and found out they offered a lunch buffet!! There were many different yummy curry options and it was fun to try some things I wouldn’t typically order like the Bhindi Masala which was spiced perfectly and the okra added the perfect crunch and flavor. Highly recommend stopping in for this lunch buffet — comes with mango lassi too!!

⭐️Amazing Experience at Nalas! ⭐ I visited Nalas for the first time and had an incredible experience! I tried the samosa, dosa, and momos, and the taste was absolutely amazing—unlike anything I’ve had before. The food was high quality, fresh, and full of flavor. I also want to appreciate the staff and co-workers for their excellent service. They were so kind and welcoming, making the experience even better. I highly recommend Nalas to everyone! If you want to try something new and delicious, this is the place to be. I will definitely be coming back—again and again! Thank you to the entire team at Nalas for such a fantastic experience!❤️😊

Absolutely, hands down the BEST and most AUTHENTIC Indian food we have ever had. Extensive menu with a variety of southern Indian food. The Mysore Masala Dosa had a wonderful texture and the lentil soup, spices, and curry sides were flavorful. The Lamb Rogan Josh was an absolute delight. Sid was fantastic ABC great company. He helped describe the different dishes and ingredients and had great recommendations. Now for drinks! The Nannari Sarbath made with lemon juice and nannari root is light, refreshing and not overly sweet. The Mango Lassi was also very good. We got one to go as a small dessert treat and was much like a mango smoothie. Absolutely delicious. We were also brought some Gulab Jamun… a treat!!! Sid explained that these donuts are good as a little breakfast with coffee and I will be trying that soon! Thank you to Nala’s, the chef, and Sid. This place is a hidden gem, and absolutely heavenly. Clean restaurant and restrooms. OH. And they have a buffet on Saturdays and Sundays! We will have to come back soon to try. Five stars! I would give more if I could!

The ordering system is a bit odd, but guess this is Austin's style. The server almost has to order for us, but we managed to figure it out after 15 minutes... The food is actually very good and didn't waste my ordering effort.

Ordered Masala Dosa and Uthappam. Both the dishes were great. Good taste. Sambar was great. Chutneys were horrible, cold, no taste, not fresh. Ambience is nice for sure, Hindi songs playing on screen. Floor is sticky when we walk, needs better cleaning, tables have rings from hot drinks or cold, need cleaning. Place is sort of hidden, difficult to find, is behind a Holiday Inn.

Worst food everr. Ordered food from here as a take away. Not at all edible and had to throw away all the food. We ordered a bone in chicken curry and found a goat piece within the chicken curry and all the chicken was boneless. Also, we ordered chapati to eat with the gravy but the chapati was as hard as cardboard. Last but not the least, we ordered goat sukka as a side. It was not at all fresh and was so chewy and rubbery, basically undercooked. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Sorry for being harsh but it was a very bad experience for us.

Very disappointed! I really wanted to like this place, but the service is consistently unreliable. I arrived 45 minutes after placing and paying for my order (just 4 parottas, that's it!), only to find they hadn't even checked the system until I walked in. Unfortunately, I’m done giving this place second chances. It’s frustrating because South Austin needs more reliable spots, but I won’t be returning. :)

NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED!!! Worst food!! No flavor at all. Paneer korma had more gravy with 1-2 pieces of paneer. kesari bath has bad smell of oil. Looks like the oil was used for frying multiple times. The quality of food is very bad.

This was one of the worst food experiences I have had. We ordered idlis and kesari and every single item was terrible. The sambar and chutney were absolutely horrible and tasted completely wrong. Not just bad, but inedible. We could not take more than a bite or two. The kesari was also awful and had to be thrown away. We ended up throwing the entire order into the trash. Complete waste of money and food. There is no excuse for serving food of this quality. I would strongly advise others to stay away until this place seriously improves.

The overall condition and service of this restaurant are extremely disappointing. The air conditioning rarely functions properly. The restroom lacked basic necessities such as toilet paper; instead, napkins meant for hand use were provided. The hand soap appeared to be diluted with water, the hand dryer was not working, and there were no tissues available. The diaper-changing station was secured with cling wrap, which raises serious safety and hygiene concerns. Regarding hospitality, no chips or fryums were served when we were seated. However, these were promptly provided to other customers who arrived later, which felt unprofessional and inconsistent. The food quality was also below expectations. The chutneys served with the dosa were extremely cold, and one did not resemble coconut chutney in appearance. The onion dosa was poorly prepared, with onions unevenly placed, an irregular shape, and a very small portion. The batter did not seem fresh. The restaurant itself was untidy, with visibly dusty blinds. Given the condition of the dining area, it is concerning to consider the state of the kitchen. This has reportedly been the situation for the past two years. It is disappointing that these issues remain unresolved. I will not be returning.

This was an absolutely terrible food order. The food arrived burnt, dry, and badly overcooked, with several pieces completely charred and impossible to eat. It looked careless and poorly prepared, like quality control doesn’t exist at this place. The vegetables were soggy, flavorless, and clearly overdone. To make things worse, the biryani was nothing but flavored rice—no proper masala, no aroma, and none of the rich taste biryani is known for. It felt misleading to even call it biryani. For the price charged, this level of food is unacceptable. Overall, a waste of money and time. I won’t be ordering again and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

One of the horrible Nepali cuisines I have ever had in the US. The food didn’t have any authentic taste; they put too much oil in the chow mein. Neither the momo nor the jhol were better. The ambience was terrible, and the service was poor. If you wanna try Nepali cuisine, do not go to this place; rather, drive quite far to find Nepali restaurants or stay on an empty stomach if you have the only motive of trying Nepali cuisine and didn’t find one.

Ordered fried rice and chicken 65 The fried rices is worst and doesn’t even taste like fried rice. The rice is all over cooked and mashed. The chicken 65 is somewhat okay but not the best m.

I would give this place a negative # of stars if I could. It's absolutely horrible!!! I ordered the goat curry with rice and garlic Naan. The rice was old and hard, cold and tasteless. The goat curry had only chunks of fat and bone, no actual edible goat meat at all. The garlic Naan was burnt and had no garlic or any other flavor or toppings on it, just plain burnt Naan. This place obviously does not care about it's customers at all and has absolutely disgusting quality food. There are some great Indian food alternatives out there. Save yourselves the waste of money and order from Clay Pit, Bombay Grill, Madras Dhaba or basically anywhere else but this place.
