Texas-tinged Indian food and imported beer? A winning combo for sure. Whip In might be most known for having one of the best beer selections in the city, but don’t miss the rotating menu of Indian recipes (dine-in or takeout) made largely from organic, locally-sourced ingredients. Part convenience store and part deli (without the horrible fluorescent glow of either), this place is still relatively undiscovered even to locals. Order food at the counter and grab any one of hundreds of bottled beers—or over a dozen on draft—and enjoy what seems to be a truly Austin-only experience.
RECS: The menu rotates, though they always serve several outstanding Basmati rice bowls (some vegetarian) and popular “Panaani” sandwiches. The “Beef & Beer” chili is a crazy combo of Indian curry and Texas flare, which goes well with their perfectly authentic chana masala.
