Shahi Cafe, an authentic Bengali restaurant and grocery store in Austin, continues to offer a delightful dining experience. The Chicken Biriyani remains a favorite for its perfect balance of spices, while the Tehari is still acclaimed as the best in town. New reviews highlight the exceptional mutton yakhni pulao, described as probably the best, and the lamb shank, which is perfectly cooked with traditional desi masala and large pieces of potato, tasting just like homemade curry with a thick, buttery gravy. The beef curry is also noted for being flavorful and satisfying. Although the Chicken Shwarma platter did not impress, the Tehari and other dishes are must-tries.
Customers appreciate the reasonable prices, which keep them coming back. They enjoy the grocery store within the cafe, allowing them to buy extra ingredients to enhance their meals. The vegetable and pepper spreads, along with decently priced flatbreads, further elevate the dining experience. The owner and staff at Shahi Cafe are described as kind and welcoming, making visits memorable. However, customers should still be mindful of the steep downhill entrance, which can pose a challenge when navigating the premises. Overall, Shahi Cafe is highly recommended for its exceptional Tehari, Bengali cuisine, and the overall experience it offers.
