Zaviya Grill in Texas

"Simi was the sweetest lady ever! The service here is truly next level — friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. My server made great menu suggestions and made sure everything was perfect. The food was incredible, full of rich flavor and cooked just right. You can tell they care about every detail. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Austin. Highly recommend!"

"I had a fantastic experience at Zaviya Grill and can see why it gets such high marks! From the moment we walked in, the service was great—the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our meal. We didn’t have to wait long at all, as the food was brought out quickly after ordering, which was impressive given how fresh everything tasted. The highlight was definitely the Chicken Karahi; the spices were perfectly balanced and it was absolutely on point. Additionally, the portion sizes were plentiful, leaving us feeling completely satisfied. The restaurant's ambiance added the perfect finishing touch; it has a lovely, inviting atmosphere that makes it great for both casual dinners and special occasions. If you’re looking for authentic flavors and a top-tier dining experience, this is the spot."

"Um. I have tried this restaurant for the first time. I have tried their Karai Chicken with garlic nan...Karai chicken was just above from homemade chicken curry, it's not like that flavorsome. It comes with plain rice. I dnt know why they provide rice with Karai Chicken. How ever we took garlic nan. Garlic nan was good. They served raita and a sauce at first. Raita was tasteless. Ambient was good. May be they have different items with good flavor."

"Went here for iftar on a Monday and the place was packed. Still managed to get one table. The food is really good. They keep refilling the dishes with hot food quickly as they get over. Every item on the buffet was fantastic. However, the need for customer service is highly desired. The person handling the phone and cash counter needs a lot of training. And I mean A LOT. Either that or get a designated person. This one couldn't understand half the things I was saying or asking - both in person and on the phone. She kept talking over me and was in a hurry etc. I understand it's a fast paced environment and things get busy but sometimes customer service makes or breaks the experience. Besides that, this place is highly recommended."

"We dined at Zaviya Grill last night and had a great experience. The service was warm and welcoming especially from Simi, who served us with a lovely smile and made us feel right at home. She was attentive, friendly, and really added a positive touch to the evening. The food was delicious, and the dessert from Alpha was a perfect finish to the meal rich, well-presented, and full of flavor. Overall, a great spot for good food and even better service. Will definitely be back!"

"Great service, and they never sacrifice anything for the quality that they are known for. I’ve gotten fried rice, korma, grilled items including beef Bihari and various chicken items. I just Indian restaurants by the quality of their naan, I haven’t found a place in Austin yet with better naan. Never once has it failed. Owners are always involved and this new remodel looks amazing!"

"Great place for Pakistani / Indian kind of food. Loved the poori, and the channa masala n aloo along with it was pretty authentic.. Also loved and enjoyed the goat chops and goat kadai with garlic naan.. Must try i would say- 1.goat chops.. 2. Sweet lassi.. 3. Garlic naan suggest to go here when u r super hungry.. as the portion size is really good for 2.."

"Zavia Grill is an absolute gem in Austin. The flavors are bold, authentic, and clearly made with real passion. Every dish tastes like it came straight from a home kitchen — rich spices, fresh ingredients, and portions that leave you satisfied. The chicken karahi and biryani are standouts, packed with depth and perfectly cooked. The naan is soft and fresh, and the chutneys add the perfect kick. On top of that, the staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about the experience you have. If you’re craving true Pakistani comfort food or want to try something new, Zavia Grill is a must‑visit. Austin is lucky to have a place like this."
