Come for the spirits. Stay for the biryani.
Classic cocktails executed cleanly — and one you won't find anywhere else. Nothing overly complicated. Just well-made drinks at a bar that happens to serve the best biryani in Leander. Texas Hill Country wines, local Austin beers, and bold South Indian bar snacks.
“Pookosu” Karuvepilai Melagu
Named for our signature cauliflower dish — this is the drink that tells the HOC story in one glass. Tamarind-infused Old Monk rum, fresh lime, a jaggery cloud and mint, with the unmistakable warmth of black pepper and curry leaf. Served on rocks or up.
Pookosu — Karuvepilai Melagu
$15On the rocks or straight up. Complimentary chakna also available — availability varies by day.
In every South Indian village tavern, the chakna matters as much as the drink.
Ours are bold, fried and built to pair with whatever's in your glass. Some are available depending on the day — ask your server.
