Reviews for The Lion Indian Cuisine in San Antonio, TX

Came here for the first time on a Whim for our anniversary and it was a GREAT choice! Amazing friendly and fast service, clean... restaurant, and even better food! We enjoyed it so much I forgot to take pictures of the Veggie Pakoras and Paneer Pakoras, aswell as the awesome Samosas! I had the Chicken Tikka marsala extra spicy (I asked for it it was perfect) and my wife got theVeggie Malai Kofta... Awesome! Best Indian we've ever had in San Antonio! Try it! :) Read more

We ordered to go and the food was ready quickly. They packed everything really well to avoid any spills. Everything tasted good... and authentic. The naan and samosas were a little different than we are used to, but still delicious. My husband likes his foodsuper hot and they didn't disappoint in that area! This is a great place for some quick and delicious Indian food. Read more

Overall very solid Indian food! The ambiance was decent, if not low key. Not pretentious at all. The food was very tasty, I... was impressed with the meat - many Indian places over cook and under spice it, but they did it right. The portion size wasalso good, we got the $42 dinner for two, and it filled us both up, with some take out as well. Service was fast and attentive,never felt neglected. This is def our new Indian spot! Read more

This restaurant is great! They have variety of options to choose from, including tandoor, chicken, lamb, seafood, and it’s a... delight for vegetarian eaters as there are vast variety of options to choose from! Their naan have variety of types too which israre to find amongst other Indian restaurant. I’ve tried the plain naan, garlic naan, Kashmiri Naan, cheese naan. They havewhole wheat options like paratha, tandoori roti, onion Kulcha, and my favorite is aloo paratha which tastes way too authenticand reminds me of my mom. Not to forget, all their breads come with butter on top, which is good as other places charge extrafor the butter (mention no butter if you are a vegan).The staff of very friendly and polite with everyone, they do a great jobof looking after every table even when it’s super busy. The chef takes great effort to accommodate all types of eatersincluding vegan, gluten free, and lactose intolerant entrees. They can substitute fresh cream or milk with coconut milk perrequest which is very thoughtful and helpful for lactose intolerant people to try regular food with a little twist.Unfortunately milk or cream can’t be substituted in their Naan’s, but the best part is again having whole wheat paratha,tandoori roti, aloo paratha as option which makes the dining experience amazing! Their mango lassi is amazing and so is theirraita, as they are made from housemade yogurt. Their iced tea is one of my favorite too depending on my mood, it’s brewedfresh daily. To top the experience, they have a full bar which is amazing in case we need to have a drink before or after meal.My favorite drink is the mango and strawberry margarita. Their bar tenders do magic with drinks. Recently I had the Indiancosmopolitan, it was so good that I can’t even describe it in words! You’ve got to try it. They also have Indian beers suchas Taj Mahal and the flying horse. I’ve had the Taj Mahal and I need to try the flying horse some day. I’m addition to this,I’d like to men Read more
