G'Raj Mahal
This spot is Permanently Closed.
There are a lot of ways Austin has changed for the worse. But it’s also become a hotbed for global deliciousness and, unlike the horrific traffic the newcomers bring with them, nobody is complaining.
G’Raj Mahal is a prime example. Located in an old, beautifully-renovated bungalow home on Rainey Street, G’Raj not only serves quality Indian food, but also appeals with its neo-Austin chic-as-f*ck ambience. Like any wildly popular Austin spot, G’Raj started out as a food truck, but later expanded into this brick and mortar space with an expanded menu. And the menu is extensive. Unless you’re with a big group that’s down to share, you will be left making some hard decisions on which delicious path to choose. We can help with that down below, as there are some things you’re going to need on your table (as well as a few you can skip).

G’Raj is especially useful because it’s one of the only quality eating options on Rainey Street that isn’t a food truck. We are all for mobile restaurants, but if you’re staying at the nearby Hotel Van Zandt, or on a Rainey Street date, or hosting out-of-towners, you might want to mix it up with a proper sit-down experience. That said, in true Rainey fashion, G’Raj also has a fantastic bar and patio scene to help you continue your never-ending quest to find out which Austin vodka truly makes your life stories sound the most interesting to members of the opposite sex.
