West Georgetown has a new one-stop shop for Indian groceries and home-style cooking. Desi Masala, an Indian grocery store and restaurant, opened in August in west Georgetown, offering fresh produce, a meat market and a menu built around curries, biryani, pulao and mandi.
The opening was confirmed by partner Divya Yella, according to Community Impact. The grocery side of the business stocks a variety of products alongside its fresh produce and meat market, while the attached restaurant serves both vegetarian and nonvegetarian dishes, including curries, biryani, pulao and mandi, per the same outlet.
Pinning Down the Opening Date and Address
Community Impact's reporting places the business in west Georgetown, though a separate search-result snippet pegs the opening to Aug. 19 on West Highway 29 — a detail that carries lower confidence than the broader August opening date. The store's address is listed as 3701 W. Hwy. 29, Building 17, in Georgetown, and Desi Masala's website is www.dmasala.com.
That address does not match what an earlier planning report described. What Now had reported that the planned establishment would be found at 3307 W State Hwy 29 — a different street number than the one now tied to the open business. The available records do not explain the discrepancy between the two addresses.
What the Earlier Planning Report Said
Back when the project was still in the works, What Now reported that the tenant finish-out would cost around $700,000 and span 8,840 square feet, with construction expected to begin in May and wrap up before the end of November. At that time, no opening date had been announced, and a co-owner of the project contacted by the outlet declined to share additional information.
A separate project record search snippet from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists a Desi Masala renovation project at 3701 W SH 29 #17, with a start date of May 25, 2025, a completion date of Nov. 25, 2025, and an estimated cost of $707,200 — a figure close to, but not identical to, What Now's earlier estimate. That record is available only as a search snippet and has not been independently verified as an opened-page document.
A New Option for Indian Cuisine in Georgetown
For now, what's confirmed is straightforward: Georgetown shoppers and diners have a new source for Indian groceries and prepared meals in one location, combining a meat market and fresh produce with a sit-down menu of curries and rice dishes. Those curious about the business can also find Desi Masala on Instagram, where the store posts photos and videos under the handle @desi_masala_georgetown.
