Sangam Chettinad Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Austin

Horrible and Thrilling at the same time, .. Enter at your own risk...only if you are looking for adventure and be amazed by what you experience.🥹. I ordered .. Non Veg thali, Mutton biryani, Mysore masala dosa. So to begin with - The Thali comes with six - seven types of small bowls big enough to dip your spoon in it to take out whatever they serve in it. I couldn't differentiate what it was. Some dark brown coloured water , which was supposed to be different types of curries. However they all look alike and somehow they are served without any vegetables or meat in it. Well, I was lucky to find a half inch piece of Mutton in my mini mini bowl. Sorry, all the other bowls are still a mystery. The ones I could tell were- boiled chick peas with cilantro on top, some type of pakora - which comes soaked in oil. Boiled green beans, a mix of milk and rice with sugar - oh that was suppose to be kheer, a bowl of ginger flavored water, a generous bowl of mashed and guey rice which they hide by placing a soggy papad stinking with burnt oil and a huge 6 inch puri, over it. It also came with a chicken leg floating in a so called chicken curry. And the best part your Thali, comes in two separate time frames - for you to prepare for the feast. Ya some portions come sooner and some 30 minutes later. To enjoy this feast you will have to be patient for the delicacies to arrive on your table. Once they arrive then you assemble the Thali and solve the Thali puzzle--- Guess what you are eating? . Wow - All the goodness in one plate😁. The speed of service .... Oh my gosh - My dosa was already waiting for my arrival... It came as soon as I sat on my filthy and sticky table. Well don't get be wrong - they keep it sticky - to keep you hooked , so you don't run away before finishing your Thali 😀. The dosa was very average, however it was cold and dry , but of-course it's my fault - as I arrived late and it was already waiting for the past 10 minutes to be eaten. Now comes the Biryani - Well they named it wrong - it was a pulao - I guess they don't know the difference between the both. Well - One good thing with there food is that they serve it- at luke warm temperatures - as they are so mindful ,not to burn your tongue, as they want you to solve the Thali puzzle--- imagine if you burn your tongue 👅, How will you solve the Thali puzzle--- you will not be able to diffenciate between the flavors. Very clever thought 🤔. To sum it up - I requested not to pay for Thali - --again my fault as I couldn't solve the food puzzle -- but they stick with the game rules ... No exceptions for losers like me.

Well I truly enjoyed the thrill ride and unforgettable experience.. Unfortunately, will never be able to experience it again.

Good luck to all new participants. Go and solve the Thali...

Let me start off by say it was 16,000 reviews. It's going to be 16,001 now because this place is awesome.

I haven't had a chance to have much Indian food lately, so I've been eating at a lot of places like curry, kitchen Star of India but Indian breakfast is something different.

Start off by the establishment is huge and beautiful with well decorated design and the layout with the bar in the middle of the large sections makes it ideal to keep a flow consistent between the parties having fun.

Starting off after sitting down we saw the most adorable robot. This thing was weekend and smiling handling food like a champ.

The menu after taking a look and hearing the suggestions from the staff, I decided to go with the combination breakfast. The Mrs. Got the pori ghee dosa.

Oh and then we added this onion dosa as well. It was really really something I just I had before and I just really liked it. Had another place. Boy I'm glad I got it

So long story short, I didn't even pick up my utensils. I grabbed my hands and I dug in. Everything was delicious. Oh yeah and everything's vegetarian so don't forget that. But it didn't matter. It's just place rocks.

Each chutney was good for their own types of dipping.

My favorite breakfast item on the combo plate was definitely the saffron sweetened. What would be constitutely grits?

Overall 16,000 other people agree in some way shaper form that this place is good and you should definitely stop by and check it out...

If you are looking for the BEST Indian food in Austin, Sangam is the place for you! Restaurants which offer a lot of items on their menu often don't get anything right, but Sangam defies this. Everything on their menu is DELICIOUS!

The Tandoor appetizers here are outstanding! Served in a sizzler plate, the Paneer and Chicken tandoor starters are a must have.

Living in the US for almost 6 years now, I have never had good mutton dishes even in California, but Sangam again surprises you. The Mutton Sukka Varuval and Sangam Special Mutton Masala will remind you too much of home.

On weekends my to-go is Grand Non-Veg Thali, the sukka Chicken and Fish served in this Thali are my favorites! Also do find out what is the weekend special dish and order that - it will never disappoint!

As a South Indian restaurant, this place lives to the expectations of serving fresh and best idli, vadas and dosas. One should definitely order the Paper Dosa here :) Surprisingly this restaurant has amazing noodles as well!

My husband is in love with the Poori Chana and Fish Sukka Varuval served here. One can always start or end the meal with hot Filter Coffee.

This place is always super clean, portion sizes are great and the management is amazing! The management is always willing to recommend and suggest dishes on your preference. I have been visiting this place for more than 2 years now, but the quality hasn't gone down one bit.

Sangam has become a home away...
