Nasha — Restaurant in Austin

Way overpriced for the mediocre service, atmosphere, and food quality. When we got there, loud Mexican music from the kitchen was playing and to make things worse, the TV over the bar was playing the movie Fatal Attraction. Not exactly appetizing when you’re forced to watch the infamous bunny-boiling scene during dinner. When we asked for a to-go box, the blonde bartender woman didn’t bother boxing up our food; instead, she tossed out a half plate of our uneaten carne asada, despite very clearly asking for a to-go box and even making the “box shape” to her. When we asked if the box was coming, she apologized and said she already threw away the food. Maybe she was just tired but it was disappointing for us to pay that much to eat only half of it and have it thrown away. She seemed more interested in chatting with her construction-worker friends at the bar. Overall disappointing and unprofessional, not family-friendly. I first went to the east side location 10 years ago and raved to everyone I knew about it. I even took my 80-year-old dad there. I will not be coming back to either locations due to the sloppy service and decline in food quality. The chicken tikka masala was way too fatty and caused heartburn as well- something I’ve never experienced in all my years of eating Indian food. Save yourself the trouble and find a better...

I highly suggest that staff speak to whomever was sitting at the bar area on January 25th 2025 at 9:30pm (male).. I pulled up into the spot immediately in front of the store, and kindly shut off my headlights to ensure I wasn’t bothering the inside as it’s all windows, WHILE I waited for my friends to arrive to grab food. Welll, not even 30 Seconds of me sitting there waiting, the male stood up and aggressively waving his hand at me shooing me away with the rudest look on his face. I was taken back, and checked my car lights to make sure they were off…they were. Then he kept doing that as he sat back down at the bar and the female staff in front of him was just what appears to be “laughing it off”, as a woman in my 30s, I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. We did not enter the establishment as I drove down a few places and got pizza at Jets Pizza which had no rude man shooing me away. Also while I was driving away, he was pointing and again rudely staring me down. Just completely uncomfortable feeling. I feel bad for this establishment if this man is an employee...

A Truly Disappointing Experience

We were really looking forward to trying Nasha in South Austin, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in the city.

We started with the garlic naan, which had no salt or flavor whatsoever—completely flat and bland. Hoping the entrees would redeem the meal, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala (medium spice), but it was equally disappointing. It had no real spice, no depth of flavor, and tasted almost watered down. It felt like they completely forgot to season it.

We also ordered a fresh lime soda, and it was honestly undrinkable. It had no sugar, no balance, just a bitter, sour mess.

Despite voicing some of our concerns, we ended up leaving most of the food untouched. The only redeeming part of the visit was that the service was quick and the server was polite and attentive, but sadly, good service can’t make up for such poor food quality.

We’ve tried a lot of Indian fusion and traditional spots in Austin, but this was by far the worst meal we’ve had. Definitely won’t...
