Dishola: Reviews by the Dish

This has recently been added to their regular menu. The cauliflower is perfectly cooked, and the breading is light and crisp. The sauce tasted very familiar to me - then I realized it was very similar to the egg-roll dipping sauce served at Veggie Heaven! I think it might be a packaged sauce that they add some extra seasoning to. Overall, this dish is a nice part of a full Indian meal if you are sharing dishes with others, but I wouldn't order it as a main course. It's more of a snack food.

So, Austin has a plethora of mediocre Indian restaurants, but Madras Pavillion offers this fried cauliflower dish that's worth trying. No, actually, it's NOT an authentic Indian dish. It's actually an Indian-Chinese hybrid (think General Tso's Cauliflower) and happens to be the star attraction on the Friday lunch buffet. Its "fried goodness" aspect provides a much needed crunch factor in a vegetarian diet and has me coming back for more when I need that fix...
