“Foodie” Fridays in Austin

Dorie picks







It’s Friday again and this week my selections take on an Indian theme which is popular here in Austin. I’ve got some restaurant choices for you serving authentic North Indian and Contemporary Indian cuisine.

1. Bombay Grill http://www.bombaygrilltexas.com

 The Bombay Grill serves authentic North Indian Cuisine.  Indian food varies in flavor and style depending on what part of India the food is based on. The Bombay Grill uses fragrant, pungent and warm spices from all over India and blends them to create dishes that each have their own unique flavor. They take pride in presenting dishes that are rooted in northern India’s rich heritage.  Their menu includes such favorites as Chicken, lamb and beef in different levels of spice, Tandoori oven varieties and a large selection of vegetarian dishes and freshly baked breads are served.

 

2. Star of India  http://www.starofindiaaustin.com

 

Austin is famous for having an amazing culture of music and entertainment and providing Austinites with a wide variety of

restaurants for its food lovers.  Indian cuisine is no exception

with its exotic herbs and spices and attracts people from every

walk of life.  The Star of India restaurant is one of the best

best restaurants serving authentic North Indian cuisine.  Their

menu is varied with choices like Lamb Curry, Chicken Kabob and

Tandoor Naan.  Their bar offers a selection of Indian beers along

with domestic and imported beers and wine. The food is

authentically prepared in their restaurant and they want you to

enjoy their hospitality and consider their home yours.

  

3. Clay Pit  http://www.claypit.com

 The Clay Pit offers contemporary Indian cuisine and a bar that is warm and inviting.  They are dedicated to providing the best service and want to exceed your expectations.  Their Indian food is fresh, innovative and the pricing is moderate. Their traditional Indian food includes Chicken Tikka Masala & Saag Paneer as well as unique appetizers like Curried Mussels and signature dishes like their Khuroos-E-Tursh (a stuffed chicken breast served in a delicious cream sauce). Their bar features over 100 bottles of wine and specialty drinks that complete their menu. And, they have a great happy hour featuring Indian tapas and daily specials.

Dorie, this is a good local post. If I visit Austin I will keep this in mind. I did not know that you like Indian cuisine.

Dorie, You know. This is terrible to say but I don't know that I have ever tried this type of cuisine.  Your post makes me want to go out and try some today so not only are youhelping restaurants in your area but ours too. LOL

Yum Yum Dorie! I used to hate to eat Indian food because I had to eat curried water buffalo and potatoes for 3 weeks due to our mission team losing the food! But that was 15 years ago and now I have grown to absolutely LOVE it again!! Wish I was in your town!

Dorie, Sounds like plenty of great options for those that enjoy Indian food.  Liz loves it and I've developed a bit more of a taste for it over the last couple of years.  Bill

Good morning Dorie-what a great idea putting a menu of restaurants together.  I love Indian food and just finished taking an Indian cooking class-it's really healthy too! Lots of lentils!

Dorie- I love your Friday series.  I'm going to have to see what we have here in Palm Beach County.  And, I agree, it's even better if you have someone who is familiar with the different dishes.
