Veg Burger – Unfortunately, this was disappointing. The patty was not warm, tasted bland, and lacked flavor. The bun was soft and good, but the burger overall didn’t stand out.
Chettinad Chicken – Very good! Excellent flavor, perfectly spiced, and the chicken was tender, fresh, and tasty. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. ️
Rumali Roti – Soft, thin, and served hot — really nice!
Jilebi – Loved it! Fresh, hot, and crispy — took me back to the days in India.
Vijayawada Boneless Biryani – Not great. It lacked authentic flavor and was oddly sweet instead of spicy.
❌ Cons: The paper plate quality was very poor — it was peeling off (as seen in the image).
✅ Pros: Great Chettinad Chicken, Rumali Roti, and Jilebi.
Overall, a mixed experience — a few dishes were amazing, but others need improvement in taste and presentation.
Food:
I originally walked in just for groceries but the moment I learned that they serve Rumali Roti (which is very rare to find in Austin), I was instantly excited.
✅Rumali Roti: Soft, perfectly made, and honestly one of the best I’ve had in Austin.
✅Kadhai Paneer: Delicious, rich gravy, well-spiced, and paired perfectly with the roti.
⭐️Jalebi: This was the unexpected star! They were making jalebis for a catering order, and when I asked for a taste, they generously offered me one. It was crispy, not overly sweet and completely reminded me India. A full 10/10 moment.
I haven’t tried their biryani or noodles yet, but based on other reviews, those items seem to be hit-or-miss.
Ambience:
The upstairs seating gave us a calm and relaxed space to enjoy dinner.
The theme is bright, desi and cheerful.
Final Words:
Desi District is a good occasional visit spot, especially if you’re craving Rumali Roti or freshly made jalebi. Not a “visit every weekend” kind of place, but definitely worth trying once or twice.
On our first visit, we visited a new coffee shop in a new development on Parmer Lane in Cedar Park and noticed this fun looking new building called the Desi District. Having Indian friends who are like family all our lives, I love the food, culture and people. Wow! It was Sunday afternoon and this place was hoppin!
It is super clean, bright and feels like a modern cafeteria kitchen style restaurant. A buzzing family dining place connected to a grocery store with every kind of natural food for preparing Indian food from scratch. The fresh smell alone was divine! The restaurant serves delicious authentic home cooking with an expansive menu. The wait in line is a bit longer than the usual limited menu fast food Indian restaurants, but well worth it.
Their food is affordable and my wife and I were stuffed for $25. Their is no table service. I asked a few friendly people in line about the differences between Mandi and Biryani. I went with the more spicy Biryani. The curry is served on the side so you can customize the spiceyness. Their food is a 15 out of 10! My wife said it was the best Indian Food she has ever eaten in her entire life. The Chicken Dom Biryani was served in an adorable, decorative disposable round box (not styrofoam) that seemed to be on a majority of tables. It serves two people with more rice than we could eat. When I ordered our food, I gave them my last name, Moore. listened carefully for my name to be called out over the PA system. The person calling my name had a heavy accent and pronounced my name as “Moo”-“Ray”. Sweet, kind and helpful people here. We had so much fun. The owners were on site and very engaged with making sure everything was just right. We watched as they prepared an exquisite item called Doza. Doza is a giant 16″, thin, crispy crepe like recipe prepared on the grill. It has a very small amount of wheat flour, but is mostly made out of lentil flour so it is a possible option for gluten sensitive people. It is rolled up, stuffed with savory mashed potatos or just plain and served with homemade lentil soup and yogurt. Excellent, excellent place! We had a mango yogurt beverage for dessert! We will be back to try the Mandi next time.
Overall, the food quality felt inconsistent for an opening day. Hoping they work on maintaining better taste and temperature in the dishes moving forward.
Would like to visit again. Have a nice dining.
The undercooked chicken biryani I ever had. It tasted raw masala. Tasted some and trashed most of it.
Butter naan is burnt and crispy. Looks like there is no quality check on the food.
Rumali roti and butter chicken are okay. Not going back to the restaurant again.
