This is a wonderful addition to South Austin! This is your one-stop shop for all things Indian – groceries, snacks, movies, frozen foods, veggies, spices and snacks. The staff is very helpful and will even take suggestions for products that they don’t currently stock. They have fresh samosas for $1.00 each, chapattis (Indian bread) that come in fresh every day and also a weekly shipment of fresh vegetables. The pre-made spice mixes are a good resource for those starting out with Indian cooking, instead of buying all the spices you need individually. These packets carry recipes on them, so that makes it easy! Shaan brand is my personal favorite.

They carry a variety of Indian snacks – the biscuits and banana chips are my personal favorite! The cost of these snacks makes it affordable to explore and find out what you like and don’t like. The shelves are well stocked and the store is clean. This was the only Indian grocery store in South Austin for a while, but now faces stiff competition from Gandhi Bazaar, which opened a second location down south recently.

This east side gem will satisfy your cravings for southern cookin’ with a Cajun flare! I’ve only been there for lunch but based on my experience, I imagine dinner is fabulous as well. Lunch selections include sandwiches like the New Orleans Muffaletta, catfish po’boy and the chicken salad sandwich which has a spicy twist to it. Or you can go for the larger portions of entrees like ribs, or meatloaf which comes with your choice of 3 sides. They’ll also bring out warm and yummy corn bread with lunch. In addition, Hoover’s features daily specials and a host of delectable desserts, which are worth saving room for! Definitely go to Hoover’s when you’re hungry :-)
