Following success at its locations in downtown Austin, Waco and College Station, the Texas-based Indian restaurant Tikka House opened its fifth location in Lakeway in July, owner Kshitij Kumbhar said.

“It's a very regional authentic Indian,” Kumbhar said. “It’s [not] Americanized. We kept the recipes as they were. ... People not only from here, but people from India also like how authentic it is.”

The overview

The small restaurant chain was started by the owners of Tulsi Fine Indian Cuisine in Round Rock .

“It’s a small group of friends,” Kumbhar said. “It's not corporate or anything.”

With most of the restaurant’s owners and chefs coming from a background in hotel management, Kumbhar said they bring around 15-20 years of experience in the hospitality industry.
