    This is my and my family's favorite Indian restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious! Service is amazing! They have the best staff that makes sure you are happy before you leave! There is some wait time because they are very very busy but the wait is totally worth it! I absolutely love this place! Keep up the good work!

    Food was good... However, this was by far the worst customer service experience I've ever had. Food was brought out in batches, causing us to keep having to send it back because it was getting cold. We waited for 1 hour, in a half occupied restaurant. Families came in after us and left before us. It was very strange. There's also a pretty dirty, unkempt magician dude walking around coming up to your table. He smells very bad, has bad breath and generally boogers hanging out of his nose. I just can't give this place another go. The whole thing is weird.

    One way I know it’s good Indian food is if I see lots of Indian families come here to eat. Good food, unique automated food delivery service that brings dishes to your table but is still served by a person, and even a magic show. Just a heads up the spice level here is a little high if you do not have a high tolerance for it, there are some dishes that don’t even have a mild option. Would highly recommend the chicken 76 and butter chicken here.

    Hey👋🏽, You know the food is good when my family and I have ordered take out from here for over 5 times. There is a reason for that. My families go to is Family Pack Goat Biriyani. Fun fact, this family pack can comfortably feed a group of 6 adults. The affordable price makes this a go to! Now, we have to talk about customer service! I have seen a robot waiter, once. This is truly a modern forward thinking place built on tech. In fact, my online ordering was very smooth. One update I would recommend is having a new menu UX put in. Regardless, the experience was a thumbs up. Picking up the food was also a breeze. The food is estimated to complete within 40mins, but sometimes they can whip up a good batch of food within 30mins. All while ensuring the quality stays true to touch. The reason why this place deserves 5 STARS is that my Mother was so impressed, her smile on her face said it all. 😀 Great job Rock N Grill Team! Looking forward to eating many more with you.

    Stopped by for lunch for the first time today and must say, highly impressed. The best Indian we’ve had. Chicken tikka was very tender and moist with lots of flavor and decent spicy-ness. Also had the Kadai chicken and also very flavorful. Great experience and will definitely return. Worth a try!! Pics show after we had a few bites as couldn’t wait. Also naan bread awesome flavor and crisp and not too thick and filling.

    This is one of the top Indian restaurants in the Austin area. I have tried quite a few and this one stands out. Their meat curries are consistently on point and with good portion size, does not skimp on meat (unlike many other places). The flavor is definitely a little more South Indian influenced. Patience is needed at peak hours because they are BUSY. It is because their food is so good. I’m willing to wait because it is just that good. Also be patient with the staff because they tend to be overwhelmed. The only place I found that serves Shahi Tukda, thanks to them it is one of my favorite desserts!

    Came here on a recommendation of a friend. It did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was delicious. Love Indian food and wanted to find a place that felt like the real deal. You know it’s good when 100% of the clientele is Indian. So you know it’s authentic. Daughter loved the butter chicken. And the naan is 👩🏾‍🍳💋 !

    I’d give this place more stars if I could. Flavor is great, food is fresh, and the staff is absolutely amazing. The garlic naan is perfect. Not too doughy. Chicken Tikka was full of flavor and you can designate the spice level. Try the lamb chettinad and finish things off with a cool mango lassi.

    Food was excellent. Chicken Tika was 🔥. Get you a curry based dish and some Naan too. For desert slurp down the mango Lassi as well. Strong note to avoid the Taj Mahal beer like the plague. This beer they charge nearly $12 for. It's not an import cost either cause they sell these at specs for like 5 dollars for a 22 ounce. I get the markup is real for drinks at restaurants but it hurts my soul to pay that much for a Indian version of a Stella.

    We ordered paneer tikka masala and found a piece of chicken in the curry! Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone , especially vegetarians who do not want to experience eating chicken in paneer curry.

    Portions are very generous, flavors are very good. Usually we get take out, but its worth coming in, the flavors are way better at the restaurant. Service was great, prices are decent. My wife appreciated the quality and authenticity as she was missing the Indian food from England.

    Food has consistently tasted good here on all our visits. This time we got the chicken dum biryani, chicken lollipop and lassis. Everything tasted good but the biryani quantity was definitely less compared to what we usually get. The chicken lollipop was swimming in a lot sauce and it could have been better if it was more dry. The lassis tasted alright. The only negative for us has always been the slow service and food color. They use a lot of food color in a most of their appetizers, your finger are stained a good red color.

    Visiting this place for 3rd time. **Food** - 4/5 Best tandoori Goat chops in Austin. Schezwan chicken fried rice with omlette (quantity good for 2 people), chicken lolly pop, breads, malai kofta were awesome. They ensured normal color in sauce and ask for normal sauce in dishes to get original taste of non veg starters. Mutton biryani was little rubbery during previous visit. ***Service** - 5/5 (ask for Sanskriti/Maria) Was hesitant today to go to this restaurant as customer service in previous visit was not good. But today, we all got bowled over by the customer service. Special thanks to Sanskriti and Maria for being patient with us. Inspite of heavy crowd time, they attended to all minute details of our needs. A must visit place in Austin especially for foodies.

    A good Indian restaurant with decent ambiance and with nice South and north Indian music. Chef’s secret drumsticks is a good pick. We visited on a weekend and everything we tasted is good. If you wanna end your meal with a delicious dessert, Rasamalai is a good choice over Gulab jamun. Nevertheless, the post-meal treat, betel paan can savor your tastebuds.

    This is one of the Best, if not The Best Indian food in Austin Metro area. The restaurant is spacious and very family friendly. It can get very busy, if you are in a hurry I would call ahead. Eating here is an experience. There is a ROBOT server! Yes a Robot server who brings the food to you. There's also a magician who can show you a trick or two. There is a LOT of options, including vegetarian options. I had the Manchurian balls for app and Goat Dopiaza. Both were delicious! And the owner personally comes to every table and makes sure you enjoyed your food. Eating here feels like you are eating at your family's house. There is outdoor seating available. Restaurant is very clean and there's a bar. There's a decent amount of parking in the front. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    I like the flavors of the dishes overall. The waiters and waitress that were disorganized, they did not seem to have their own sections, which caused them to miscommunicate. They ran out of alcohol. The pricing just made me feel cheated for what we got. The naan bread was burnt as well. I'd return to give them another chance.

    We arrived there around 6:30pm on a Friday evening and were seated promptly. Staff greeted us upon arrival. It got super busy real quick by 7:00pm ish so I’m glad we went there early to get seated. I could see people were coming in and out to the restaurant due to many takeout orders. We ordered chicken dum biryani , Guthi Vankaya Curry (eggplant), spicy goat curry, raita, plain roti and garlic coriander naan. Our food was brought up by robot server which was something I wasn’t expecting but was very cool actually. Spicy Goat curry sauce was phenomenal. One of the best I have had in Austin area for sure. I got spicy spice level and it was perfect because it wasn’t extra hot but it was a sting to it which is what I wanted. My wife really enjoyed her eggplant curry. The base for the eggplant curry was phenomenal as well. The only thing I’d like to point out is that for the price of eggplant curry we expected more than 2 eggplants in it. We were pretty hungry when we ordered our food. By the time we finished our main dishes we didn’t have the appetite to start on chicken biryani which we ended up packing in a to-go box. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for delicious, full of flavors , mouthwatering foods ! One last thing I’d add is that expect to wait for your food for 20-30 mins if you end up visiting during their busy time. The wait is well worth the food!

    We came here to expand our knowledge of Indian food instead of the 1-2 dishes we normally order. They were extremely helpful to us and recommended many dishes. All were excellent! For us, the food was great and the service was even better. Highly recommend especially if you’re looking to try new Indian dishes.

    This is our first time and food was excellent. We ordered baby corn, mirchi bajji, paneer kebab, tandoor chicken, paneer curry, brinjal curry, naan, etc. All food were delicious. But it was bit oily. please avoid that. Will visit again. Please avoid 'food coloring'. It is a big NO. make it natural. the owner said that people like it but that is changing. People don't ask for food coloring and they have become conscious about the side effects of color.

    Delicious surprise on our road trip! Tandoori Pomfret was SO SUCCULENT, healthy and well seasoned! Everything was tasty and not greasy or salty. They have a nice flair to some popular Indian dishes. There was a magician in house entertaining us and the owner is a man with kind eyes and demeanor. We will definitely be back!

  • 4/5 Jubin E. 2 years ago on Google
    I did a take out at the restaurant for appetizers only. The food was good - the Tandoori Pomfret was huge and delicious. The mirchi was ok (too many onions overpowered the taste). They also have an onsite magician which was cool. I knocked a star off because i was told it will be ready in 30 mins but got ready in an hour an 15 mins. I asked for chai during this wait - though not required, i assumed it will be complimentary because of the wait, but no, they charged for it. Anyways - the food is promising enough to try a full meal here.

    Awesome food and no doubt about that. BUT customer service and food delivery timings has lot of catching up to do. If you have time on your hands, do give this place a try as you'll not be disappointed with food. We went in and waited for more than 5 minutes before anyone attended us (2 adults and 1 kid) to get seated and there were empty tables. I had to grab a person working there and ask for it. We get seated and placed our order within 5 minutes, as we had to be out of there in hour and half. 45 minutes in we get our appetizer. At this point we are sure we will not be able to get the entree in time. So we ask the server to pack the rest of the order in the to go boxes and not bring it to the table. She said that can't be done now and that once the order comes out we can pack the entire thing in to go boxes. Which we ended up doing, but just says a lot about their customer service. Suggestion is please focus on customer service aspect too, it definitely needs work.

    Food was absolutely amazing!!! Definitely worth the wait!! Most people below are complaining about wait time.. that should tell you how good the food is. Manager/Owner was nice enough to even get us desserts to comfort us! Service was amazing! I own a restaurant myself and I highly recommend this one!

    Ok, photo taken halfway through meal (sorry)… wife and I come here all the time, we have a few dishes that we get every time (chicken 65 extra hot for me) then we usually try something new so we can find new favorites (my wife loves salt and pepper mushrooms). They do a great job of keeping the heat down when we ask (if we brought yankee friends or something) and still pack in the flavor… but if you like hot, and the awesome kind of heat that doesn’t ruin your day…. Just makes things adventurous and clears the sinuses, go ahead and ask for extra hot and they will gladly deliver the heat.

    This is a very good Indian cuisine restaurant. Their food is authentic and very flavorful. Thumbs up on the chicken korma! The atmosphere is nice. The restaurant is clean. Also, the employees are welcoming. I would recommend this place to your family and friends. The can fulfill large orders and to go orders. Added plus for me was the restaurant serves bottled water at the table.

    This was an amazing Indian restaurant! The waiters were very friendly and were very accommodating for the dishes. The Veggie Samosas for appetizer were great and the coconut chicken was an excellent meal! I ordered the Bullet Naan and it was a little too spicy for me but lucky there was extra. If you want authentic and tasty Indian food near the Austin area, this is it!

  • 4/5 Christian O. 10 months ago on Google
    I was a bit skeptical at first, as the name sounds more like that of an American 1950s diner than an Indian restaurant, but the food still turned out to be pretty decent, so Namaste all the same...Chicken Manchow Soup (which was a new dining experience for me), Chicken 65 appetiser, Murgh (Chicken) Tikka Masala, Khulfi (pistachio) Ice Cream dessert were all top-notch, as was the service by Fabiana (a lovely Señorita from Costa Rica). Aaaannnd, they had Taj Mahal Beer to drink, complimentary bottled water, and Bollywood music videos on the TV. My lone gripe is that the decor did not have the feel or atmosphere of a bona fide Indian restaurant. That said, a good dining experience overall.

    I've heard a lot of good things about this place and today decided to give it a try. My wife and I ordered Chicken Chettinad, Chicken Tikka Masala, an order of plain Naan and an order of Roti. Both chicken dishes had a great flavor; the "downside" was that being our first time visiting the place, we were a bit conservative requesting Medium and Mild respectively on spicy level. Both plain Naan and Roti had excellent texture and were delicious dipping in the gravy. Will definitely go back to try more dishes from there and raise the spicy level. 😅😅😅

    This has been the 3rd time I visited this place and as always the food is impeccable! This is one if the best places to get authentic Indian food in Austin. Their portion sizes are quite well matched to the item prices. We ordered Apollo fish fry, tandoori chicken, and goat fry biriyani. The meat and fish were very soft and the biriyani rice was cooked to perfection. Purna was the guy at our table and he was very friendly and warm. Would be back here again!

  • 4/5 Devesh S. 7 months ago on Google
    A friend highly recommended the place so we decided to go when we were in the area. The service is excellent and they seem to have a robot for food delivery that they sparingly use (I guess as a novelty) and it was fun to see. The food is excellent mostly, the flavors are as genuinely Indian as they can get. The only reason I took one star away is that the some chicken pieces were really hard in both the chicken 65 and the acahri chicken. Except that one problem, everything was great

  • 5/5 Lola R. 5 months ago on Google
    My friend took us to lunch here while we were visiting. WOW this place is so good! We had the goat leg soup, mushroom soup, goan negril goat, Hakka vegetarian noodles, naan, roti, saag paneer and a real delicious appetizer….. bhaji. The selection of beer and wine is good (nice they have 4 Indian beers). Awesome service as well! Some nice music in the background and every now and then a Bollywoodish video (which I love)…..And for me this was amazing because normally I am not a huge fan of Indian food (my other 2 dining partners are). A nice menu selection for sure! I see they are a popular place for takeout as well. Can’t wait to return! Nice portions and took some home!

    We had a wonderful experience at Rock and Grill. The service was excellent, and the staff was very attentive and helpful. The service person, Kavya, was kind and suggested great choices for vegetarian food. She made sure we were comfortable and satisfied with our orders. It was our first time there, but we felt like we were regulars. We will definitely come back and recommend this place to our friends. Rock and Grill is one of the best restaurants in Austin/Round Rock, TX.

  • 5/5 Precious J. 9 months ago on Google
    I am going to give 4 stars for the restaurant. I think that the few things that we dealt with that we weren't used to is chalked up to possibly cultural differences. We would totally go there again. It was interesting to see the robot service coupled with servers. Everything that we tried was delicious. We went since many of my prior clients encouraged me to try certain Indian cuisine. If it wasn't for their suggestions, I wouldn't know what to get. There were many many options. The servers were helpful though.

  • 1/5 Natasha S. 5 months ago on Google
    i ordered based on the amazing reviews and because uber eats offered me an $8 off coupon and i wish id just paid extra for more quality food. it started when my uber driver told me my drink (buttermilk) wasn’t available. the restaurant didn’t even try to cancel it or offer a refund or ask if i wanted a different drink. I had to go through uber to get that refund. the mutton biryani (i got the roast): the rice was “soggy” is the best word i can describe it. the meat was half bones, didn’t taste fresh and there weren’t really a lot of pieces given. I know it’s not standard but i was also expecting cilantro/onion/lime with the biryani and was surprised they didn’t do that. also the fact that i got basically 1/4 of an egg is laughable. paneer chili: i don’t even know how to describe this dish but it was mediocre at BEST. it was slightly better after i warmed it up in the air fryer. the seasoning was weird and the dish was over sauced. maybe they are better on weekends? i wouldn’t know because im probably not coming back.

  • 5/5 Andrei Jaume W. 6 months ago on Google
    The food was extremely tasty and very authentic. The service was also pretty fast for a sitdown restaurant. They had food from all the different regions in India, including home style food and street Indian food.

  • 5/5 Joe J. 9 months ago on Google
    For a place called Rock N Roll I have to say I questioned it’s authenticity, but after eating here I have to say this is some legit Indian food. First thing first, when you go to an ethnic restaurant you look to see if anyone of that ethnicity is eating their, and I have to say a majority of the people their were Indian. So while I’m not Indian I trust the authenticity of this restaurant. The food was phenomenal, not a single thing we had was bad, the garlic naan was great, and the onion pakado was perfect for us. The naan wasn’t too greasy but had a perfect amount of grease and garlic flavor, and for those that don’t know onion pakado is essentially Indian onion rings but better and those were perfectly fried as well and came with 2 delicious sauces. The entrees were simply delicious though, my friend who is white ordered the tikka chicken spicy but to our surprise it wasn’t too spicy at all, we don’t know if this was because he was white or not but we could handle the spicy level rather easily. But the chicken was flavorful, juicy and delicious either way. The veg Hakka was filling and tasty and I got it spicy as well and could handle it rather easily myself. I’m definitely not challenging the restaurant to make food spicier but if I had one critique it’s that the spicy level didn’t feel that spicy (although still delicious and we may get the extra spicy next time). Lastly we had the pineapple soufflé and it was the bomb dot com. Everything was great and we will definitely be back. They even had 3 different beers from India to try which we sampled and were satisfied with as well (unanimously Arka was our favorite) Our server Fabi was great and explained to us the menu, was quick and timely with our order and was good overall. Overall this place was amazing and I will be back sometime.
