Whip in

Whip In has been a locally owned, Austin staple since the 1980s. This week I visited for dinner for the first time in many years and can confirm that this place is still an excellent option for high quality Indian food. My chicken tikka masala was perfect, no weird bits in the chicken and the chili paneer was super crispy and flavorful. This is the best garlic naan bread I’ve ever had. Great meal, great price

I appreciated getting a good wine at easy in and out location. I returned for a late lunch on a Tuesday. Very chill atmosphere, with comfortable seating choices inside and out. I enjoyed the sweet Merian Hive Blackberry Mead. The lamb Somosa was huge with a comforting flacky crust. I want to come back for live music.

Great Indian food and beer selection. Also good place for pub trivia. Businesses like whip on are the last of what remains of the old Austin. Highly recommend

This place is interesting in the best way possible. The vibe is like Metallica meets Indian food meets craft beer meets ice house, and somehow it totally works. Casual, loud music, fun, and definitely memorable! We had the Vindaloo Paneer lunch special ($11.99) and the Chicken Tikka Kebab (listed on the menu as Tandoori Chicken, $14), and each was fantastic. The Vindaloo Paneer had the perfect heat level. It was super flavorful and was a generous serving size. It included plenty of rice. The Chicken Tikka Kebab was thigh meat, and it was cooked perfectly. It came out sizzling hot and was well seasoned and not even close to being dry. It was very juicy. The Jalapeño Naan ($6) was a standout. Great spice, awesome flavor. I’m definitely ordering that again! Their wide selection of draft

Don’t let the exterior fool you, this is some of the best Indian food I’ve had and honestly such a chill love to hang. Service was great and drafts were fantastic!
