A Legacy of Flavor, Memory, and Love

Siti is more than a restaurant — it is a living story of heritage, hospitality, and identity, brought to life in the vibrant heart of Austin, TX. Our journey began not with a business plan, but with the indelible imprint of generations of culinary matriarchs. These extraordinary women, whose wisdom flowed from instinct, memory, and love, transformed simple ingredients into profound expressions of care and connection. 

Today, that spirit lives on at every table — whether you're joining us for an intimate dinner, a joyful gathering with friends, a rehearsal dinner, or a wedding celebration filled with shared plates and laughter. At Siti, food is meant to bring people together. 

From the bustling hawker stalls of Southeast Asia to the intimate family kitchens where recipes were perfected over decades, our menu reflects a rich tapestry of flavor and technique. We respectfully reimagine beloved Southeast Asian traditions, preserving their soul while delighting a modern palate. Each dish is a celebration of bold flavors, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the hands that first created them. 

Siti was designed as a place to gather. Our space welcomes everything from date nights to group dining experiences, private celebrations, corporate events, wedding receptions, and catered occasions throughout Austin. The aroma of lemongrass and galangal mingles with the energy of conversation and community — creating an atmosphere that feels both vibrant and deeply personal. 

We carefully curate the freshest ingredients to deliver the true essence of Southeast Asian cuisine. From house-made spice pastes to expertly grilled meats and seafood, every bite reflects the depth, warmth, and generosity that define our culinary roots. 

Whether you're discovering us for the first time, planning a special event, hosting a wedding celebration, or bringing Siti to your gathering through catering, we invite you to experience a taste of heritage — right here in Austin — where every visit feels like coming home. 

Meet the Chef

Chef Laila Bazahm leads the kitchen at Siti with a deep respect for heritage and bold Southeast Asian flavors. In 2025, Siti was named a Michelin Guide Recommended restaurant, recognizing the soul and craft behind every dish.

Chef Laila also claimed a win on Beat Bobby Flay with her Kare Kare, a Filipino classic rooted in tradition and reimagined with care. That same award-winning dish is now served at Siti, inviting guests to experience the flavors that earned national recognition.
