Desi Chowrastha - Indian Eatery Round Rock

I recently ordered Juicy Chicken Mandi and Veg Mandi on Uber Eats during a Buy 1 Get 1 offer, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The restaurant listed two separate options for chicken mandi: “Juicy Chicken Mandi” and “Chicken Fry Piece Mandi.” However, what they actually served was the same thing for both. Instead of preparing authentic juicy mandi chicken — which is normally boiled or slow-cooked with spices and steamed in the mandi gravy — they simply used a deep-fried chicken piece and covered it with gravy to call it “juicy mandi.” That is not how real juicy mandi is prepared. The chicken itself tasted bitter, likely because it was overcooked, and the attempt to make it “spicy” was honestly quite strange. Rather than properly blending Indian spices or masala int

This spot is a really welcome addition to the neighborhood—it’s the kind of place the area has been missing. The food is good, and what stands out most is the impressive variety on offer. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory, sweet, light, or hearty, there’s a solid range of choices that should satisfy different tastes and cravings without feeling limited or repetitive. I was especially impressed by the bakery section—the pastries, breads, and other baked goods looked (and tasted) remarkably fresh, with that appealing just-out-of-the-oven quality you hope for but don’t always get. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Friendly vibe, quality ingredients, and thoughtful options all come together to make it a place worth returning to. Definitely recommen

Tried this new place hoping for something good, but left disappointed. A friend and I decided to try this spot after seeing it open recently. When we walked in, there was a gentleman ahead of us trying to place an order, but it was clear he was having a hard time communicating. Unfortunately, the cashier didn’t offer much help, which set a slightly uncomfortable tone right from the start. I had read mixed reviews beforehand, but still wanted to give them a fair chance. We ordered a few items: my friend got the naan, and I tried the idli. Visually, the food looked okay, but taste and freshness were another story. The sambhar was overwhelmingly spicy and lacked the flavor of something freshly mad it tasted like it had been sitting too long. The idlis came three to a serving, but they were c

I came in on a whim because it was next to Best Buy and I was craving Indian food. I got the lunch special for $12 which included starter, entree, rice, naan, and dessert. A huge plate of food that was very tasty. I forgot to take a picture before but you can see I couldn’t finish the entire plate, and I couldn’t believe the price. Highly recommend the lunch special and I’ll be back for more. Also picked up a pound of sweets from their bakery that I’m looking forward to trying!

I ordered 2 veg mandi online and when only 1 was delivered, I called the restaurant and they told me I can go to the restaurant and get the second one. Then the when I went to the restaurant they gave me a chicken starter instead of paneer, which I didn’t realize until I opened it for dinner. These guys are such a mess. I started ordering here since this one’s close, but you are better off ordering or going to the one in Leander.
