Madras Pavilion Austin Reviews
The vegan food is delicious. Went to the vegan buffet and loved everything. Service is also very good, the host was very attentive.
Just went here with my boyfriend. It was great! I got the idli and they were so fluffy and delicious and naturally gluten free! My boyfriend got lamb and rice biryani and we loved that as well. The flavors were so rich and the staff is very nice and knowledgeable about gluten free options. The menu is full of gluten free and even vegan options.
Food amazing!! Service top notch! Gave me a mango blemded beverage while I waited. Family eating nearby wondered why this old honkie was in their restaurant, but then a pair of crackers came in and were seated, so I wasn't the only honkie in the place. Del makhni is the best I have ever tasted! My wife adored it too! The man bread was divine, cheese, garlic and spinach varieties. I pray they are in business forever! Love this place more than my dog John john. Even though he is a commie and barks at me all the time, It doesn't really matter when this place exists! Now I know there is a God, and heaven does exist. And it is this place! Love it so much!
Met up with a group of friends to enjoy the Sunday night oil-free vegan buffet. It was a hit! Almost every dish was gluten free too, the exceptions being the samosas and panipuri. Lots of options to choose from! Plus they were very accommodating about arranging tables so our group of 16 could all sit together. We're already planning on coming back!
Update: August 18, 2024. The restaurant has the best vegan, gluten free and oil free buffet every Sunday starting at 5:30 pm. The corn halwa and vegan mango lasi were deliciously unique. Great food...great cheese naan... fantastic vegetarian and vegan food. Loved the chicken dishes. Chat stall and deserts are amazing.
My husband and I were hankering for Indian food, and the places I've enjoyed are further away now. I'm so glad we found this spot and gave it a chance! Lots of great vegan/vegetarian menu options. I had chicken tikka, he had the eggplant curry dish, and we started with samosas. I got a masala chai and he got a mango lassi. All delicious, sauces to go with everything were good. We felt cozy and server was very sweet. Food came out quickly, hot and fresh. The naan is also pillowy-soft. We will be back to try more of the menu!!
The food is the most authentic I have found yet. I always order the tikka masala at Indian restaurants, but I decided to try something new here and I was not disappointed. I had the lamb rogan josh and tried a dosa. I loved almost all of it and the 2 sauces I didn't like that came with the dosa still tasted like they were very well made, it just wasn't a flavor I prefer. Mango chutney was great also. I had a great experience here.
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. The bathroom could use some updating.
Awesome food! My husband and I have eaten the lunch buffet three times now, and each time the variety of dishes is great. All the dishes go well together. Everything's fresh and tasty. Plus everything is labelled vegetarian/gluten free/etc, and the staff clear the table and refill drinks really fast.
I thought the food truck was very interesting, I enjoyed my lunch, the spice level was not quite there but still flavorful. I have a high spice tolerance so i am ready to give it another try.
I only went to the vegan / gluten free / oil free buffet, so I can't speak to the regular menu. I really enjoyed all of the vegan bread options, at the time they had samosas which were my favorite! I do wish they had regular drinks, rather than only water bottles. It's pretty rare to have an all vegan buffet, so I really enjoyed that aspect of not having to worry about what I could eat. It was quite a treat, and you wouldn't know based on the flavor that it was gluten-free and oil-free vegan!
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.
Pathetic experience. First of all, food doesn’t taste authentic Indian at all. Secondly, I ordered Vegetarian schezwan noodles from DoorDash and was sent Chicken Fried Rice instead. Thank goodness it was rice instead of noodles otherwise I may have started eating it. Avoid this place.
Ordered chicken biryani which has little flavor, rice taste old and stale, everything has carrots in it, chicken meat is not tender. Overall, its a terrible experience, I highly do NOT recommend this place!
