Aha Indian Restaurant | Breakfast Buffet

We arrived at the restaurant almost around 11 PM, and despite the late hour and the chilly weather outside, Chandu welcomed us with a warm, friendly smile and served us with great patience. We ordered idly and dosa, and both were delicious—definitely worth the visit. The food was great, but what stood out the most was Chandu's exceptional service. His attentiveness and positive attitude made our experience so much better. Highly recommend if you're looking for tasty food and excellent service, especially late at night!

Ordered paratha and paneer tikka masala. The paratha is absolute store trash you get from any big box indian store. They charge you for the convenience of putting it the pan. Paneer tikka masala was good, rich and creamy sweet.

I arrived at 8:45 a.m., and they asked me to wait another 20 minutes! If they can’t stick to their own schedule (with breakfast starting at 8 a.m.), why even list such early opening hours? Extremely unprofessional and frustrating for customers.

Have been trying breakfast buffet here for a month now. I guess today they showed up the real quality of their food and the way they serve. I was served BURNT dosa, cold idlis. When I ask them for some food refill it was not done. And it was filled up when another customer asked for it.
I have been ignoring the hygiene of this place(roaches crawling everywhere) as the food was served right. But not anymore. I am not sure if the seating area is that disgusting, what mess they would be having in the kitchen. The lady at the counter, who served as well, knew I didn't like the food. But she was only the one serving me all the stale and burnt food. Seems like she did it on purpose. I dont even know her.
For compensation, they gave me a dollar discount(which i didn't even ask).

Try this restaurants if you do not care about your health.

Edit: all the 5 star reviews look fake. They have been countering the true/actual reviews in worst way possible, even by threatening in some of them. This restaurant and people at this place should come under scanner.

Unfortunately I didn't even get a chance to try the offerings here. If the attitude of your staff is so dismissive and rude within the first 30 seconds, it's not a good sign. I did ask for the owner's name only to be refused. The attitude of the staff can be a good measure of how the owners are. You never know who's walking through your doors and what they could mean for your business. My experience from just that initial interaction is enough that I reconsidered what I went in there for in the first place.

I am being generous with 3 stars. I rarely write critical reviews as I avoid harming vendors.......if I don't like the food I just don't go back. But in this case considering I have been eating Indian food around the world including India for 50 years and have tried so many Indian restaurants in the Austin area I felt compelled to let diners looking for reviews to know some facts:
1) The "whole tandoori chicken" not actually a chicken......it's 4 whole legs, which is common practice and I prefer the legs. In this case it was 2 legs (rather small but acceptable for tandoori) and 2 more legs that looked like a sparrow's legs it was so pathetically small........almost comical but embarrassing that any Indian chef would put that on a plate. That means in order to cook the larger legs in the tandoor so not raw at the bone the tiny legs will be way overcooked on the same skewer. Duh! Even worse......the marinade tasted of nothing but clove it was overpowering, distasteful and ruined it. I could not eat because it was so off flavor. I have never ever tasted clove in tandoori and if it was there is was so muted as to not draw the attention of your taste buds. Such a simple mistake ruined otherwise decent tandoori chicken legs.
2) The onion kulcha showed that their cook was a "shoemaker" meaning he had no idea what he was doing. This was nothing but tasteless naan, no onions no stuffing (which is what kulcha is......2 naan's pressed together stuffed between with a variety of options). There was no soft puffiness, no ghee on top, it was flat and tasteless, even a weird texture almost like it was undercooked. Uneatable.
3) paneer tikka masala was very good, as was the basmati rice that came with it.
4) Aloo-Gobi - I am including the 2 pictures of this dish I downloaded from both of their websites......very clear this is a dry northern style dish.....no sign of gravy or sauce. What I got was nothing but a creamy mild curry sauce (which was ok not bad nothing special) with several chunks of potato and not 1 recognizable floret of cauliflower......what was there was broken up and soft/mushy because instead of sautéing the cauliflower fresh or par boiled and finishing the usual way by cooking off all the water this was the opposite. It was eatable one time as not bad....just not memorable in any way which is what I expect from good Indian food. More importantly it was NOTHING like the 2 pics on THEIR websites.

When there are so many authentic Indian restaurants in the area that know what they are doing this place falls woefully short. There may be other dishes on the menu worth trying but I won't waste my time since too many unacceptable/poor recipes & mistakes on the 1st try.

Two recommendations:
Subham Chettinad Grill in Round Rock - get the whole tandoori chicken it is top notch preparation, 4 big legs, and real value at $20 with the perfect marinade.

Bay Leaf in Round Rock - the chef is a very experienced Punjabi chef so classic northern style.....try his bengan bharta and gobi bhurji they are classic examples of punjabi veggies.

I hate one someone change prices on spot, when confronted the lady said they increased the price but thats definitely not the case. I ordered the same thing for less in doordash and i checked all other platforms its the same but when i order on call for pickup somehow it changed and thats a bad experience, it feels like cheating. I even saw her changing prices on billing machine, nope, i hate that!

As soon as we walked in, the restaurant was empty, ugly, and dirty. We ordered water and it came in plastic bottles and wasn't cold. When the food came, it didn't taste good and had a bad amount of spice and spices. Our experience was horrible and we will not be going back.

They were running instagram ads offering buy one get one free.
Ambiance is worst.
We ordered gobi Manchuria and baby corn pepper fry.
Pepper fry was oily. Gobi was spoiled and stale. I could taste it was at least a few days old and is actually gone bad. They are running ads to dispose stale food to customers. Stay as far away as possible from this place. This place is a health hazard and should be taken down.
