Delicious, a restaurant and urban grocery store located in the Lamar Union Shopping Center, has closed. A Facebook message posted Sunday said the closure was temporary and that fans of the restaurant should stay tuned for further details.
Owner Raj Singh, who opened the restaurant in March 2016 at 1100 S. Lamar Blvd., Ste. 1105, Austin, did not immediately respond to a phone call for more information, and Delicious' website was down as of press time. Public relations spokeswoman Paula Biehler said in an email that a new concept will replace the restaurant. Delicious featured grocery selection including local, organic and imported products; wine; beer; pastries; and made-to-order meals for dining in or takeout. Earlier this year, Singh opened a Delicious cafe in the Bullock Texas State History Museum in downtown Austin. Delicious is one of several Lamar Union restaurants that have closed this year. Cedar Park-based The Soto Group announced in June it would be taking over the shuttered Cantine Italian Cafe & Bar, and El Burro Mexican Restaurant and Bar closed in early July after seven months in business.
