Let’s be real, Austin isn’t exactly known for <a href="https://www.thrillist.com/eat/austin/best-dumplings-in-austin" target="_blank">Asian food</a>. We don’t have anything remotely like Jackson Heights in Queens, nor do we have any neighborhood with the word ‘Little’ preceding. But that’s not to say that the eats aren’t here—you just have to look a little harder. 
 
But even Austinites need respite from <a href="https://www.thrillist.com/eat/austin/best-authentic-mexican-restaurants-austin-no-tex-mex" target="_blank">queso</a> and <a href="https://www.thrillist.com/eat/austin/the-best-bbq-joints-in-austin" target="_blank">brisket</a> from time to time, and as we keep adding to our wondrous melting pot of cultures, the flavors are certainly tricking in. Indian joints are popping up all over Bat City, serving aloo gobi, naan, and samosas that you’d never guess hail from a Texan vendor. Ready to spice up your life? Here are the best South Asian eateries in town.

A drive down south delivers you both homestyle Indian cuisine and an atmosphere to match (think a Bollywood wedding reception). Take the restaurant’s lead and go for the sets.

Saffron may be way up north, but it’s definitely worth the trek, even for downtowners. There aren’t many places that serve hardcore North Indian classics inspired by Indo-Chinese and Nepalese cuisine, after all. Everything (including the sauces) is made from scratch, and their eclectic menu includes Kathmandu Kothey Momo, Tarka Daal, and Grilled Lamb Sekuwa.
