What people say, in short
Most people recommend Ras Modern Indian, which commenters place both on South Congress and in a convenience store on Menchaca. Several praise the fries, including the tikka fries, and two say the portions are large. One diner calls the manali smash burger their favorite locally, one calls the korma bowl a favorite Indian dish, and one says the Indian dishes were excellent and the chicken sandwich the weakest item. One commenter doubts the big-portion claim after seeing a photo that seems to show a single serving.
