Desi District Building Up Cedar Park Spot

Desi District, the growing Indian cuisine franchise, will soon be opening a Cedar Park location, according to a recent filing with the State of Texas. The restaurant will be located at 12301 W Parmer Lane.

“It’s a franchisee restaurant coming out of Dallas and this will be the first location in Austin,” franchisee Anoop Alladi told What Now Austin in 2023. “It’s an Indian fusion restaurant which includes burgers, sandwiches, and Americanized Indian offerings, but I won’t give too much away just yet.”

When asked why he decided to start franchising, he points to family ties as the main driver.

“I started to franchise this chain because it’s my brother’s restaurant in Dallas. It’s very popular up there and I’m very inclined to participate in the food industry and it’s been my dream to open a restaurant in Austin for a while.”

Public records state construction will consist of an “interior finish out for a restaurant and grocery store in an existing retail shell building” spanning 9,467 ft 2. It will cost around $500,000 and reach completion by December 2025.
