RAS MODERN INDIAN

How have I lived so close by and taken 5 years to discover the best Indian food in South Austin! Being Indian myself, I am quite particular about preparations such as malai kofta and find that most places skimp out on the good stuff, but not here. First, there is so much variety on the menu, including several options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and soy-free customers. I ordered the malai kofta, which was absolutely decadent. They served 3 large kofta balls and plenty of gravy. All bowls come with rice. I can't believe they only charge $12 for this meal that can easily fill you up and satisfy. We also ordered the paneer fried rice ($10) and Gobi Manchurian. The quantities were similarly generous, preparations tasted fresh and flavorful, and prices were unbelievably reasonable. I might be addicted to this place already and can't wait to try other items, including their dosas.

Amazing!! Delicious dosas, chicken tiki masala, and I was not expecting this but one of the best burgers in town (American burger for the kids). We will be back!

Love this little corner market - great coffees, plenty of variety with lots of quality and variety. Fab selection of beers and wines.Make sure to grab a breakfast taco here - they are great!

I am so glad my job is walking distance to this place! So so soooo delicious! For my first time I had the Spinach bowl and added chicken. It was simple yet so flavorful! I will definitely be coming every weekend I work!

Love this place, and I love Cork & Brew. Cork & Brew is one of those classic Austin bodegas like Live Oak Market or Sunrise Mini-Mart or the Flag Store, though with more of a focus on craft wine than craft beer. Their selections range all the way from like, 10 year French Bordeauxs at $100/bottle to exotic, fun Basque reds at $15. Plus a decent (though not too broad) selection of beer & cider, an espresso machine, and snacks you've never dreamed of.Ras, the food truck adjacent, is the first place I feel I've been that can credibly claim to be a fusion of Indian and bar food. You'll get your tikka, sure, but the real treat is the smash burger with curry sauce. That's what you go for, and we probably do so once every couple months - it's just that good. Plus every once in a while they'll do a great special, like their "Southern fried chicken" sandwich with chutney. Their fries are among the best fries at any burger joint in town, too - just super well-seasoned and crispy.

How haven't I yet reviewed Ras?! I eat this dosa maybe twice a week. It's too good. Order it. Located in the parking lot of a wonderful bodega, Ras has some of the best Indian food around.

So delicious. The burgers are truly amazing and they also have the best fries. Perfect for when you're in the mood for great food in a chill environment.

I just had Ras Modern Indian and it is INCREDIBLE. I had the Aloo Keema Dosa (minced lamb). It was so light but insanely delicious and flavorful. Get the Gobhi Manchurian as well. It's the best battered cauliflower I've ever tasted because of the sauces. Can't wait to try everything.

Go inside the convenient store next to the truck to order unless you have your phone. I suppose they think they will make more sales at the store by doing that. Everything was excellent, I just thought it was extremely overpriced for the portions they served. I paid $16 for a bowl that looks like a child would eat. I know a guy on sixth Street that serves better Indian food with 2.5 times the portions for $10. If it wasn't so expensive I'd be pretty happy right about now.

My GO TOO !!! The butter chicken with garlic nann is QUEEN ! Veggie samosas are always crispy and warm. Ordering is always easy and the convenience store is great to grab a drink with your food. Staff in the convenience store is always super helpful and accommodating. Store is nice, clean and AC is always running !
