Lali Son: Nepalese Restaurant 12201 Hero Way West, Leander, TX 78641

"Well as it had 4.8 stars, I thought of giving it a try. Definitely not Nepalese flavors - at least for the Mo:Mo I have ordered. It is just some random spices with different flavors. The Chutney feels like some tomato salsa rather than Mo:Mo chutney. The food taste is okay for the efforts but it is not Nepalese Mo:Mo for sure. I have also ordered some noodles, they feel too dry and raw as it turns into dough while chewing. I didn’t understand how everyone had positive experience with food taste but me. I usually don’t write reviews but only doing it as people who have actually had Mo:Mo before, it isn’t the same. I am just sad I am not gonna be able to eat the food I have ordered."

"Food and service was great at Lali Son, however the gas station where Lali Son is located is very dirty and unkept. I waited only about 12 minutes for butter chicken, chicken korma, and saag paneer. All the dishes were amazing. I asked for mild to medium spice and it was perfect. Just the right amount of spice with tons of flavor. The rice was good too. The naan was a bit soggy, even though I ate it almost immediately after getting it. If the gas station were cleaner, I would come to Lali Son, a lot more often."

"This is just gem of a place in austin... The front desk was very helpful staff... Great Food and only pickup is available as it is inside gas station... Chicken fried rice, Egg and Gobi fried rice were really great.. Veg Noodles was awesome and we ordered south indian high spice... it was so spicy and yummy... Definitely recommend this place.."

"I stumbled across this place while I was looking for a closer Indian restaurant online and decided to try it since the reviews were so good even though it’s inside a gas station. I ordered the chicken tikka roll medium spicy, veggie samosa and the buttered naan bread. The employees were very helpful, I had asked about the size of the roll to make sure it’s not the size of an egg roll and it’s the size of a regular wrap thank goodness! It was so good, fresh veggies good seasoning, it did come with a green sauce and a red. I have no idea what the sauces are but the green kinda tasted minty maybe and the red is a sweeter one (my husband ate all of the red sauce.) The veggie Samosa was medium spicy, plenty for us, they were good too. The naan bread was buttery as I ordered but are just a little thinner than I like. They weren’t fluffy like I’ve had at other places, it was more like a homemade tortilla. We will definitely be back I can’t wait to try the buttered chicken! Online ordering was super easy. I didn’t see any table and chairs inside but they did have a couple outside."
