We love to come here for trivia on Tuesdays at 8! Good beer selection and the staff is great. EDIT: The korma is amazing, and Medium is the perfect level of spice. The pakoras are the shoe string style that's not my favorite, but still good.

I highly recommend this place if you are looking for fresh , delicious Indian food. And or hanging out with friends. They have a large beer on tap selection and 6 packs to go as well. This place has been here for a long time. The owners now are the latest owners and I think they're doing a great job. They have an outdoor area, patio and stage and they have live music sometimes. I had Saag lamb (spinach ),order of Samosas, and an order of Naan and a tap beer.I spent 40 bucks but I had enough food for three meals:)

This place is just cool. I call it a true hole in the wall, although with the utmost respect. It’s away from the crowded areas of Austin. Although don’t let that deter you. A must go to place when in Austin. My first time, although will be a regular. I had the Whipin Grill Platter. They didn’t have shrimp and substituted it with paneer. Wow, that paneer was amazing. Great grill platter. Menu is full of great food. I would 1000% recommend it.

Love at first bite! I didn't know what to expect from this unique dining experience but it was perfection from start to finish. We ordered samosas, chicken lollypops, lamb kebab and the chicken tikka masala naan pizza. Everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious. There are so many excellent draught beer options it is hard to choose what's next. The bartender was super friendly and offered samples of the beers we were not familiar with. The take home beer selection is outstanding. If I lived in Austin I'd be a regular, for sure.

I've been here several times over the last few years! Their food is great, the place very much feels like Austin if that makes sense. They have a large selection of craft and local beer, absolutely delicious Indian food, a charming outdoor area to sit, and really nice staff. The only drawbacks are the pricing (a teensy bit high for what you get), and the place might look a little sketchy from the outside, but it's a really cozy and stylized inside and in the outdoor seating area.

Wow this place is so different because it's on the side of a highway, looks like an old liquor store and serves Indian food with epic paintings of Ganesh on the side patio and on the inside you feel like you're in an old musty pub. Need I say more? Have I completely sold this place!? Good, come with me on my fantastic Whip in adventure. It wasn't my idea to come here, it was my friends because I have genius friends. They were always intrigued by the strange looking Whip In sign off the side of the highway, beconing people to try their Indian food. Who wouldn't be intrigued? So we arrived, ordered some beers (they have a wide variety!) and sat outside on the patio. I'm kicking myself now for not taking some great pictures of Ganesh - next time. After a while we decide to order some food and settle on: paneer tikka - quite nice, it comes with a sauce and lime which compliments the flavour bhindi masala - mild with nice flavor. I didn't get the slimy texture I usually get with okra which was a plus spicy paneer tikka masal - I liked this one because it was creamy with a good amount of heat dosa- the dosa came with sauce and a daal and was packed full of potato and veggies naan - yum! The food was quite good and the overall vibe was a lot of fun. It's such an unexpected place, definitely try it!

he ambiance is brilliant strong nods to the continence store it once was from retro neon sign to the commercial refrigerators full of beer for take away. . The food brilliant several vegan choices . My flexitarian mates assure the CMT dims on par with ant east-end curry hut and yes this is a high compliment. Enough beer and ales for any taste. Servers are amazingly fast attentive. The parking easy . A first choice

This Indian restaurant has one of the coolest vibes in Austin. The food is North Indian centric. Don’t go there if you want to experience a really authentic south Indian food. Prefer entrees and appetizers over biryanis. I couldn’t say less about their bar with a wide variety of locally crafted and commercially available beers, wines.

One of my favorite bars in Austin. Really good Indian style food, a great selection of beers and a nice atmosphere both inside and out. I've noticed that there has been some turn over in staff, but they always seem to hire good folks. Wait staff is friendly and will let you try before you buy. Final point if you are just looking for a to-go beer and wine selection they also have you covered with an excellent selection of craft, both local and not.

2020 update: So much has changed and not in a bad way. Outside area is the same but the inside is completely redone. The actual bar is the same but everything else is different. Still a great spot to get a good drink. Kitchen still good as well. *Original post: The Whip In is original Austin, before it was cool. This bar/beer store/restaurant is always a good option. No matter what your taste in beer there is something for everyone. The inside seating usually has live music but there's plenty of room on the back porch as well

I appreciated getting a good wine at easy in and out location. I returned for a late lunch on a Tuesday. Very chill atmosphere, with comfortable seating choices inside and out. I enjoyed the sweet Merian Hive Blackberry Mead. The lamb Somosa was huge with a comforting flacky crust. I want to come back for live music.

The food is pretty good, the beer selection is nice, and i like the atmosphere. Staff isn’t super welcoming and pick up orders aren’t typically ready on time. The bike racks suck pretty bad. They aren’t secured to the ground very well and are positioned at the bottom of a steep slope making them very hard to use.
