G’Raj Mahal

Exotic and local G’Raj Majal has established a permanent footprint on Rainey street. It entices with exotic flare and fantastic choice of wine and beer. There is nothing sexier to me than un-winding in an exotic escape with foreign spices, complex recipes and a darn good glass of beer or wine with someone. With the cooler weather breezing in, wrap your sweetheart and yourself in a cozy sweater and spoil yourself on these heavier dishes that leave you feeling satiated.  Some of my all-time favorite ideas are; Naan stuffed with fruits and nuts,  Saag Paneer, Korma and Tikka Masala dishes with a Belgian beer or glass of bubbles. You can always continue the date on Rainey. Thank you G’Raj Majal for existing. High-five.
