Good

I really like the buffet. Everything is clearly labeled with vegan and gluten free symbols. They are very vegan friendly. Food is filling

Delicious food!

I eat vegan oil-free or whole food plant based no oil and not only can they accommodate me but they have a whole separate menu that features items along that vein! And the food is amazing! Everything on the menu is great :)

Pros: lots of vegan and vegan oil-free options

Good buffet

They have delicious food and the buffet has lots of choices. It's a bit pricey, though.

Best Indian option in Austin

Madras Pavilion is the best place in Austin not only for veg options but for Indian food in general. They serve the most authentic food that is far above your typical curries and breads you find at most places. Definitely check out their buffet and watch out for specials. For an Austin Vegan Drinks night they prepared a special VEGAN malai kafta and galub jamun--two things you never find vegan!

Pros: Excellent food, Reasonably priced, Very vegan friendly

Cons: Location

delicious and friendly

The North Indian special at the back of the menu gives you a bunch of little curries and rice and puffy bread. We also had paneer mutter, the fried rice, and channa masala

Uh-oh... what's happening?

I've been there 10 times. I enjoyed it 8. the problem is, those were the first 8 times I went. I'm hoping it's just a coincidence. I'm hoping something hasn't changed in their process. I'm hoping the next time I go it will be as good as the first 8, and not as bad as the last 2.

Pros: food, buffet, service

good south Indian food

Over the time, the quality of food has come down but still favorite of many for its dosa, vada and sambhar.

100% Superb: vegetarian Indian Buffet lunch!!!

For the best veg indian buffet experience, this is the place and Austin is fortunate. Weekday buffet has, like, 10+ items on the buffet, and the main problem is how to balance curiousity and healthy eating! The Sunday buffet is a few dollars more, and well worth it... an extravaganza with more entrees and 'mini' (only a foot long) masala dosas delivered to your table. Sundays are like a festival, with many tables full of large parties, an incredible brunch experience. The Madras Pavilion management of this production is amazing... Evenings are often mellow there, and if you're on a budget, you can always enjoy a bowl of savoury soup with pappadums.

Pros: delicious food, dedicated staff, spectacular buffet

Cons: decor needs a lil tune up
