Will be in Austin (W Slaughter/I35) area in a couple weekends. Looking for eating establishments recommendations for different culture cuisine...not Mexican, Italian, Cajun...not a chain...not sushi. Maybe Mediterranean (loved Zaytinya in DC) or Indian or Caribbean or South American. Don't want to break the bank.
Any suggestions?

Taste of Ethiopia on South Congress

http://www.tasteofethiopiaaustin.com/

Woinee (pronounced Winnie) is the owner and a great lady.

Cuban? Cuba512 on Wm Cannon

Cajun: Evangeline Cafe
Mexican: Hecho en Mexico (locations in Oak Hill and east on Montopolis)

ETA Whip In is awesome, and they have a $9.99 lunch buffet now.

Jacobys
Juniper
Kemuri Tatsu-Ya
Sawyers

Intero or Pitchfork Pretty, both just a little north on 35 from where you are.

I've only eaten at the original location, but this place is legit!

Cafe Malta at Wm. Cannon & Brodie Lane

A lot of the places on East 6th are very good(not sure if you consider that south, it is for me )

I would specifically recommend Buenos Aires for Argentinian food and Licha's cantina has some of the best red snapper I've ever tasted.

Jacoby's is also great over on the east side for southern home cooking.

That same shopping center has a great Vietnamese place, Me Con.

The best Mediterranean place in Austin, is actually out in Bee Cave by the Galleria. Artemis Cafe. Its a second location for a place out in Lake Tahoe. Solid food.

Relevant because Lake Tahoe is considered the best Mediterranean food in the world.

Tarbouch Lebanese Grill on Oltorf is excellent. Great baba ganoush

Not all south Austin, but these are some of my favorites:

East Side King
Casa Columbia
Via 313
Elizabeth Street Cafe
Fresa's
Loro
Odd Duck
Mongers
Launderette
Bufalina
Red Ash
G'Raj Mahal
Asiana Indian Cusine
Ramen Tatsu-ya

Thanks for all your recommendations. We ended up not in South Austin but at the Clay Pit. My first time with Indian cuisine. Loved it. Next time I think we will try Taste of Ethiopia. You sure put together a great list to choose from. Should be helpful to anyone wanting recommendations.
