The Beef Shawarma Wrap was delicious and very filling. Some of the beef was chewy but overall it was tasty. I enjoyed the spicy sauce on the meat and the hummus, cucumber and onions perfectly complemented the wrap.

I look forward to trying other things on the menu in the future.

Do not let this humble place slip past you. They have the best Biryani I have ever had. If the rest of their food is half as good it will still knock your socks off. Do yourself a favor and get lunch here one day and you’ll never look back!

Aziz bhai is the masterchef. I can safely say he is the best Bangladeshi chef we have in entire Austin. We get his Beef Tehari every Friday. It’s one of his specialty dishes. His customer service is as good as his cooking. An amazing guy who always goes above and beyond for his customers. Highly highly recommend Aziz bhai and Shahi Cafe.

Very good food, friendly staff, reasonable prices that have you keep coming back, I can eat their food everyday and not get tired of it. I can say this because I have done this for months. I love that they have their own grocery store within the cafe, so I can buy extra ingredients to enhance my experience. They have great vegetable and pepper spreads but also decently priced flat breads to add to your meal to enhance the pallet even further. If I had all the money to last me for life, this would be the only place I would eat at.

I walked in on 02/14/2025 to get somethings for myself. The owner was so rude and disrespectful. He is a racist and made racial slurs at me

We visited Austin recently and were on the lookout for Bangladeshi food. Every item we tried was absolutely delicious. The mutton yakhni pulao was exceptional, probably the best we’ve had. It had generous amount of meat. The lamb shank was perfectly cooked with traditional desi masala and large pieces of potato. It tasted just like homemade curry, with a thick, buttery gravy. The beef curry was equally flavorful and satisfying. The portion size was great for the price for all the items.

The owner and staff at the cafe were kind and welcoming, which made the experience even more memorable.

100% Deshi Taste.

Goat Akhni Polau is excellent. For lamb shank curry, they use ghee and potatoes to make a thic gravy, you should try it. Beef curry is good too. I have heard their beef tehari is very good, but could not taste it as it was unavailable.

I went there a couple of times. They have good snacks sometimes. The Shawarma plater is terrible. The rest of the food has a home-cooked feel but nothing special.

So good! We had the lamb shank and the lamb biryani for lunch and both were excellent. The staff were also super friendly! Attached to a grocery store so not somewhere to go for it's ambience but otherwise highly recommend!

Bought Chicken Biriyani and it tastes good. The spice (salt and chili powder) is just perfect. I like it better than NYC chili biriyani. It’s the only Bengali restaurant and grocery in Austin as I was told. They had ample amount of rice and chicken pieces and the price $12 was just right for the size.
