Good eve Visitors & Patrons ! This South Indian is a secluded getaway though very much on Main Road. Almost centrally located for anyone, anywhere Austin based or even driving from nearby counties & towns. Ambience is esthetically what Incredible 🇮🇳 is meant for 'Atithi Devi Bhavah'. Their offer for a value added deal was worth to grab for. An Unlimited Dosas (I had three different types, actually four with little amendment). Their follow-up, engagement and striking a conversation was atop of all. I wish I could give them more than 5*. Six, seven whatever out of five stars, Just in case. Their green chutney with mint, must savor that gourmet. Ms. Tanmayee & TeamMates were far beyond excellence. Al the best of luck to them. More than that, Hospitality Warmth Cordial smile was an icing on the cake. Cheers to the TEAM Kuppanna. Khan

Delicious! I ordered the non veg lunch. The fish curry was my favorite. The breads and pappadam were all delicious and the halwa dessert was buttery and not too sweet.

After long time Had the Kongu chicken biryani today and it totally reminded me of kuska back Bangalore! So flavorful and comforting. The chicken noodles had that real street food vibe — simple but so good. Took me back to old memories. Definitely coming back again!

We tried the unlimited dosa buffet for $13.99 plus tax. It starts with one dosa, accompanied by one idli and two kuzhi paniyaram. After that, you can order more dosas, although not all types are included in the buffet. We enjoyed the Egg Kal dosa, Ghee dosa, Ghee masala dosa (a bit heavy on the ghee), and Podi dosa. The filter coffee was just okay, but the atmosphere and service were excellent. Aug’24: Chicken Briyani plus Non-Veg meals was delicious. As usual, service was great. Aug’25: chicken kotthu parrota was delicious but mutton chukka became hard after few minutes

We had a wonderful experience dining at Kuppanna! Every dish we ordered was flavorful and freshly made. The Butter Paneer and Butter Chicken were rich and creamy(intensely buttery), perfect with the soft cheese naan and garlic naan. The cheese naan was an artsy creation and I’ve never tried anything like their Cheese Naan before. The Daal Makhni was slow-cooked to perfection with a indian flavors and dried red chili. The Chicken Tandoori (whole) was a showstopper was smoky, and well spiced. We also loved the Potato Stuffed Dosa, which was crispy and satisfying with its mild filling and dips. For something with a little kick, the Chicken Manchurian hit the spot with its tomatoey and spicy flavors. We also had this Mutton dish which I did not like especially for the intense south Indian flavors. However, wish we got our food in orders: from drinks, appetisers to main courses and chai. Low rating in service and ambience because there were three flies disturbing us and sitting on our food.
