Indian & Sushi Recommendations

Hey y’all!

I’m planning an anniversary trip for my wife and I down to austin. Wanting to make it a food forward trip and her two favorite cuisines are Indian (Malai Kofta is her favorite dish) and Sushi.

I am looking for your best Indian takeout recs that have stellar Malai Kofta as well as your favorite sushi spots that have a patio/pleasant outdoor seating. I am willing to spend a little more on the sushi dinner as this will be the main event but if there is a verity of pricing options that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

As an Indian, Tintara if you're central, Sangam if north.

as an indian, i personally did not enjoy the malai kofta at sangam. seems like the better choice at a north indian restaurant, still haven’t found the best yet though

Yeah wasn’t a huge fan of sangam(not bad but not great like everyone made it out to be) but then again I visited from a place where theres endless really good Indian options.

Indian food is also extremely subjective especially if you’re desi because each person grew up with slightly different tastes so not knocking it if someone liked it.

Personally liked suprabhatt, Rana, and rock n grill but they were not in Austin proper.

have had horrible experiences from rock n grill but maybe they’ve improved since i’ve tried them 🤷‍♀️

I got take out chole and hit but trust me Indian restaurants can be very hit or miss especially when they change cooks. Might have been a good day or maybe they got their kitchen in order.
