North Austin (Research Blvd)·South Indian · Tamil Nadu·2.8k Google reviews

The best-value buffet on this list, starting at $13.99 — significantly cheaper than the North Indian buffets. Kuppanna focuses on Tamil Nadu-style non-vegetarian cooking: mutton curries, pepper chicken, and prawn dishes that you won't find at typical North Indian buffets. A popular chaat corner adds a fun snacking element. Open Tuesday through Sunday for the lunch buffet (closed Mondays).
