Best Indian Food in Austin, TX

This was actually a very difficult list to compile, considering...

•  Austin doesn't have a lot of Indian food

• The Indian food in Austin is not very good

• The opening of Teji's in the Fall of 2013

So I went to Teji's in Round Rock initially- on my way back from the Round Rock outlets. It. Was. Excellent. And I lamented that it was so far away.

Clearly I revere Teji's, so instead of doing a typical ambiance/ food ranking list - I'll provide a list with some commentary on how Teji's is better.

Unfortunately, there is no yummy photo to accompany this post because when I get Teji's chicken biryani - I eat it too quickly to take anything.

Venue	Food Rating	Comments
Asiana Indian Cuisine	2	Food is not memorable.
The Clay Pit	3	Teji's is right around the corner- why would you ever go here? I guess if you wanted a "nice" Indian dinner.
Tarka Indian Kitchen	3.5	Indian fast food done correctly. I'd probably still get a Teji's wrap instead.
Bombay Bistro	3.5	I would go back if I had a group and wanted a "nice" Indian dinner. I much prefer eating out of a Teji's to-go container.
Biryani Pot	3	Wouldn't go back - it was far away and not yummy.
Teji's	5	Easily the best Indian food in Austin (especially the one in Round Rock). I wouldn't ever think of going anywhere else for Indian food. The one near campus is not as good, but a still the best option for Indian foor around.
Paradise Biryani Pointe	2	The biryani was not excellent as the restaurant name suggests.
G'Raj Mahal	3	The ambiance was great. The food was nothing special.
Naan Sense	3.5	It's a cool idea and the wraps are decent.
Shalimar	2	This was the closest cheap Indian food to campus until Teji's showed up.
Masala Wok	3	It's a cute chain. Unfortunately, I would rather go to Tarka.
Royal India	1.5	The first time I went here the food was fine. The second time, it ranks in the top 20 worst Indian food experiences I've had.
