Among Austin’s Best Indian Restaurants Shallots is a new addition to Eater Austin’s October 2026 guide
For guests who appreciate the freedom of choice, our à la carte menu showcases signature creations alongside classic dishes, thoughtfully reinterpreted with a modern touch.



The brigade at Shallots is guided by experience and curiosity — transforming fresh, seasonal ingredients into dishes that reflect a deep connection to the culinary traditions of India. From time-honored recipes to modern interpretations, every detail is considered: slow cooking, balanced flavors, and pairings that elevate the quality of each ingredient.


We source spices, grains, and specialty ingredients from across India and trusted local partners — from Kashmiri saffron and Malabar pepper to heirloom lentils and stone-ground flours. This commitment supports artisan producers and ensures ingredients stay fresh, essential for a cuisine that remains authentic and deeply connected to its roots.






Shallots Featured Among Eater Austin’s Best Indian Restaurants
November 2026
Shallots is proud to be included in Eater Austin’s October 30, 2026 update of “The Best Indian Restaurants in Austin.”
The publication highlights Shallots’ approach to modern Indian dining in North Austin, with Chef Vinod Kumar, formerly of Michelin-starred Semma, leading a kitchen focused on thoughtful ingredients, regional inspiration, and contemporary technique.
At Shallots, Indian culinary traditions are explored through a modern lens without losing the regional character that makes each dish distinct. From the ingredients we source to the plates we serve, our aim is to create an experience that feels considered, expressive, and welcoming.
This recognition is a meaningful moment for Chef Vinod Kumar and the entire Shallots team. We are grateful to our guests and the Austin community for being part of our journey.
