GOLKONDA Indian Cuisine

We love this place. Very authentic Indian food. We were suggested by the staff to try chicken fry ,if we wanted spicy chicken. We ordered and it was amazing with all the spices and flavors. Everyone must try this. Their non veg Thali is enough per person, but goat Thali had very few pieces of goat curry and goat fry. But the taste of goat fry reminded me of my grandma. My kids also enjoyed their Andhra chicken curry. We all enjoyed their food and everyone must try it. They started Mandi biryani

Stopped by Golkonda to pick up some food on the way to Great America. Ordered Vijayawada Paneer Biryani, Masala Dosa, and Onion Pakora. While the biryani turned out to be flavorful and enjoyable, the rest of the items were just average.

The main issue, however, was the service. Despite ordering ahead, the pickup took nearly double the expected time as they seemed to be overwhelmed with multiple catering orders. It was quite frustrating having to wait so long with no clear communication.

On the plus side, the place was clean and had ample parking, which made access easy. Overall, a mixed experience — decent food (especially the biryani), but the service needs serious improvement.

The worst biryani ever had.. I tried both country chicken and vijayawada biryani. It was great when I tried before. Not any more.

Great food! Great Service.

I had the methi paneer pulao, and it was absolutely amazing — so flavorful and fresh. Monish was also incredibly friendly and made sure we felt completely taken care of. Overall, a great experience!

Golkonda Restaurant serves some of the best Indian food I’ve had in a while. The Hyderabadi biryani was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Great service, warm ambiance, and truly authentic taste. Highly recommend for anyone craving real South Indian flavors!

Golconda is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic flavors. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant, and the staff is welcoming and attentive. Overall, Golconda is worth visiting.
