Dwight’s comments:
I went in wanting to like New India. One of the owners used to run an excellent kolache place around the corner, and Austin can always use another good Indian restaurant.
And New India isn’t bad. The samosas were okay, but not as good as Taj Mahal or Bombay Bistro. The na’an was good. As for the goat biryani, it was…okay. The problem from my point of view wasn’t the goat, but just that I prefer Sarovar or Bombay Bistro’s biryani to New India’s. It may just be a personal preference, but there is is. Service was also quite good.
So there’s really nothing wrong with New India. I just can’t work up a lot of enthusiasm for it, since it is off my usual beaten path. And even if it was, I’d probably try the south location of Bombay Bistro first. New India seems like one of those places I should like, but I just can’t work up a lot of excitement over.
