Namma Veedu Vasanta Bhavan - Austin

One of the best South Indian Tamil restaurants that I?ve visited in Austin. I don?t think the negative reviews truly reflect the taste of the food that we ate. This restaurant has a wide menu, one wouldn?t find some of the items in any other restaurant.The owner of the restaurant served our table so I could ask questions about the chef. The chef is from India, the spices masala are sourced from the real ?Namma veedu Vasantha Bhavan? in Chennai so the food is as authentic as it can get. Weordered the idiyappam kothu, small onion podi uthappam and chilly parotta. Everything tasted really good. The chutneys were abit cold but tasty. Sambhar tasted just like you taste in any good restaurant in Tamil Nadu. The ambience is good too. We?lldefinitely be coming back!

Food is very good. Definitely undeserving of so many negative reviews going around in yelp. I was very skeptical of trying it after reading the reviews and seeing it was empty when entering but feeling good that i took a chance. Quiet a few items werenot available from the menu, thats why 4 star but whatever was available was good. Tried ghee button idly(sorry no pics as wewere super hungry), masala papad, rava masala onion dosa and malai momos. Sambar was really good; not all chutneys were. Momoswere not typical tasting, but good. Wont hesitate to go there again to try more stuff.

Food is average. service is very slow. They have employed one person for cleaning all the tables. Ambience is not good despite the ample space inside.

I wish I can give negative stars for this.Worst food I ate ever in life.When we entered, waiter suggested us that they have very limited items, we said we are ok with it.They served food in Disposable paper plates, with soup spoons.After 1 hour Of ordering, we got food.We ordered ghee podi idly, they gave idly which is sooo sour without podi, sambar or chutney.I ordered corn soup and they gave worst veg clear soup.Don’t ever consider going there.

Worst worst worsttttttttt experience!!!They literally gave paper plates for us and to eat.They gave podi idly which is cold and smells like rotten!!They took 1 hour to give 4-5 dishes and which is not worth the wait!!Most of the items are cold and kinda spoiled!!
