Best New Restaurants in Austin, July 2025 | Eater Austin

"This Mumbai bar and restaurant opened in March, offering an array of bold flavors from India with a Texas flair. Electric Gravy serves a colorful drinks and food menu, featuring samosas and “gravies,” including saag paneer, pork vindaloo, and chana masala over basmati rice. The Bombay sandwiches might be the most eclectic combination on the menu, with fried chicken wrapped in naan and grilled cheeses infused with butter chicken, chutneys, and saag paneer. In addition to wine and craft beers, Electric Gravy serves thrilling cocktails that turn traditional classics on their head. Try the Mahsarata Mule, a mix of vodka, kokum, lemon, cucumber, and Fever Tree ginger beer, or the Mumba 75, a rendition of the French 75 that infuses dry gin with rosewater, cardamom, lemon, and sparkling wine. There are also dirty chai espresso martinis, and frozen drinks like a Lassi Painkiller and Electric’s signature margarita. Those who aren’t drinking, fear not — half of its cocktails can be made alcohol-free." - Courtney E. Smith
