In Short
The restaurant is decorated with brass vessels and vases. Prints of Hindu gods and heroes line the walls, which are pink with gold arches. The patrons include families, couples and groups of young people. The large… Read Full Editorial
My Review by Chris via GrubHub on 4/19/2014
Food was great, portions were great but they forgot to add my desert with my order. I called and they offered me an extra desert on the house but I still had to drive back to get it.
one of my favorites now by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 5/24/2011
Star of India is also one of the only places I have ever encountered a beef dish, "Beef Vindaloo," which is one of my favorites now. Slow cooked beef and potatos in a spicy sauce. If it's out, and you're into beef, you really should try…
Great lunch buffet! by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 5/16/2011
Great lunch buffet! $10 gets you an omnivorous variety of dishes. The samosas are wonderfully seasoned and not greasy. Madras soup is rich and complex. Several desserts to choose from.
BEST food in austin by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 5/13/2011
SERIOUSLY the BEST food in austin. But no, if you haven't ever had good indian food before, or if you have been scarred by bad indian food, This place will CHANGE YOU. They are so nice and hospitable, and from someone who eats indian food…
Price was reasonable and the staff were easy to work with by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 4/28/2011
this is where we got the food for our wedding reception. Yeah, that's right, 50+ of our family members and friends were chowing down buffet-style on some awesome lamb meatballs, saag paneer, tandoori chicken (this went the fastest because…
I can't wait to go back! by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 4/11/2011
My husband and I stopped in here on a whim one afternoon for lunch. The only thing I knew about the place was that they had a buffet, and I was starving. That was good enough for me.When I first walked in, I thought, "This place is…
I know what I like and I like this!! by Guest G. via Judy's Book on 3/22/2011
Im not a food gourmet, so I won't discuss "northern" versus "southern" or authenticity but..... I know what I like and I like this!! I ordered from the menu and also had the buffet. The food was the perfect in between for spicy and…
i love indian food by cdubsacks via Citysearch on 3/17/2010
i barely made it before they closed and they took really good care of me. on a different visit same good service. Oh and the food is really authentic, not like the crummy clay pit .
Family owned polite kind by CSMobileUser via Citysearch on 2/9/2010
I eat there often and I find it very very hard to believe that the owner would allow this. I know for a fact that Mr.Singh would never never allow himself or his family to embarass him or the family. They are always polite, kind, well…
Great food, ask for freshly made by CSMobileUser2 via Citysearch on 2/9/2010
Great good. Excellent custom made garlic and onion Nan bread.
Star of India by Patrick B via Insider Pages on 1/20/2010
Not impressed. The staff were not focused on customer service. The food was not hot in temperature. We will not return. We did not get any sympathy from them for our bad experience. Not good food.
Blah by ssassey78 via Citysearch on 5/3/2009
The only reason I'm giving this place 1 star is because a rating is required to post a review.
We opted for the buffet since it appeared to have many choices....bad move. The naan was burnt. The Tandoori Chicken was dry. The Samosas…
Passable, but not the best by nydgill via Citysearch on 10/16/2008
I found plenty of variety on the buffet and the food was good -- but a few dishes weren't the best. The naan was burnt -- edible-ish, but black. The saag paneer was a little off -- maybe not as creamy as I'm used to? I don't know. The…
Love it!!!!!!!! by Olivvia via Citysearch on 8/14/2008
Best indian food in austin. Way better then CLAY PIT which is gross beyond compare. Great amazing food no complaints!!!!
Terrible by adrihat via Citysearch on 7/10/2008
This is the worst Indian restaurant I have ever been to! I have never bothered to write a review for a restaurant, but this will be my first. I don't want anyone to make the mistake I did by trying this place out. The quality of the food…
Worst Indian food I've eaten! by 20080324 via Citysearch on 3/24/2008
I was at Star of India's dinner buffet recently, and my experience is similar to that of many other reviewers. The pakoras had no filling, the 'paneer' in the matar paneer and saag paneer was really tofu, the sweet chutney was canned…
Mediocre food and a ripoff too by atxdiner16 via Citysearch on 1/22/2008
Firstly, the dinner buffet was a total disappointment. The pakoras and samosas barely contained any filling and were greasy. The palak paneer and naan bread were OK at best. I didn't even bother trying most of what was available because it…
Excellent Indian Food, Kind Staff by maxelias via Citysearch on 8/31/2007
I can honestly tell you this place is very special. I recently visited this restaurant and left with such a great impression. Mr. Singh is one of the most genuine and hospitable people i've ever met. The food is fantastic and the staff is…
Star of India is a SCAR on the face of Indian restaurants by crazy d via Insider Pages on 6/16/2007
Worst Indian restaurant we have ever been to. Nearly had food poisoning. The Indian lady over there is highly rude and didn't even bother to find out what was wrong with the food. The food was stale and even the salads were atleast 4-5…
