Some times I crave Indian sweets :D --- Bengali sweets in particular, so always looking for spots…read moreto satisfy that craving. Picked up few assorted bengali mithai (for my non-Indian readers - this is typically milk based sweet and is made out of strained milk curds and sugar). The place has good choice of these sweets and also savory snacks. The shop is walkable distance from Journal Sq Path station. The place looks clean, service was attentive and quick. It looked like they serve freshly made snacks as well in this place.

Went here to pickup an order placed through a third party app.Got a push notification on the app…read morethat the order is ready to pickup.Went in and asked for it ajd they were very confused.then they checked and started packing the order.I was okay with that and expected that to take 5 mins may be since it is all pre prepared food. Then the girl at the counter started to engage with customers who came after me and did all the packing and billing etc. I asked her after 10 mins and she said it will take sometime.And when is started complaining,a lady came from inside and said they don't have a couple of things i ordered and asked for replacement. Serivce is terrible.Avoid this place if you can.There are much better places in the area. The food was okay.Not worth the time and money.

Why keep telling lies about the order whether it's take out or dine in. Wasted my 30 mins in the restaurant today for just a simple snack in the morning where no such crowd was there. They need to work on their business and improve customer service rather than chitchat about life. Such a slow process, totally disappointed by their behaviour as had to walked out on empty stomach WORK ON UR BUSINESS IF U WANT TO GROW UP ELSE SHUT IT DOWN!!!!!

Just the sauces will have me coming back again and again - loved the poori and the dosa.read more

Come here for some of the food and not much else. I think that's a fair description…read more We came here on a whim on a Friday evening hearing about their dosas as we were craving some. Living around historic downtown, this is the closest area for our cravings. As alluded to above, the place is basically cafeteria-style. You order up front and wait for the food to be ready. You pick it up in paper plates and then you eat. The place inside isn't really that clean and on some days, don't expect A/C, but I guess that's the territory we are in. The moong dal vada was good, but quite spicy. Perhaps a bit too much. The onions somehow helped offset the spice a bit. The onion rava masala dosa was actually pretty good. Very generous portion too. Mango lassi took longer to arrive than our food. It was good, but that seemed weird. Place might need to focus a bit more on hygiene as this area gentrifies further and further. Parking is around the area in lots. Sadly, my old car effectively died in a nearby parking lot and now this restaurant is indirectly associated with that tragedy.

Tasty weekday lunch specials, which comes with your choice of entrees (up to two choices), naan,…read morerice, and a dessert. It also includes a mini buffet of appetizers (on the day I went, the appetizer buffet had small breaded chicken cutlets which were like chicken nuggets, chili paneer, a chickpea salad, and dosas). It was plenty of food. Had to dock off a star for the confusion around the pricing. The lunch menu had prices for every different combo of vegetarian and non-vegetarian protein which we didn't realize, so be sure to ask if you're not sure. Some people in my group were surprised at the bill. Also note that gratuity is automatically included for dine-in. I did not notice that and was annoyed that I added more, even when asking the server. The server didn't comment.

You will see multiple different restaurants within a span of hundred meters... and I'm sure you'll be confused where to eat.. if you're craving for a good south Indian spicy food food I strongly suggest this restaurant.. it's also BYOB.. fantastic service.. the biggest headache is parking.. It's hard to get street parking and I had to pay about $12 for the parking... if not for the parking this restaurant has only positives . I also had food in their Edison branch. We ordered chicken Chuka and it was really peppery and good.. perfect South Indian aRoma and taste.. my friend had fish fry and he just loved it.. there were five or six small pieces of the fry.. I still think it's slightly expensive about $20-$22 for the fish and generally all of the dishes.. the best one was dindukal thalapakatti biryani . Nice and very tasty . Good experience overall. Wanted to give a 4 star but gave a 5 star just for the taste and service !!!

Continuing my gastronomic tour of Little India in Jersey City landed me at Golconda Chimney…read more Golconda specializes in Indian fare of the Hyderabadi variety. Golconda appears unassuming from the outside, but the interior is welcoming, quiet and offers a slightly more formal dining experience. But, I however, stopped in for take out. I ordered samosa chaat, chicken biryani, naan and a lassi. The food came out quicker than I expected however didn't seem to suffer in quality. I really loved the food here. The flavors are complex and not muddled. The rice was fluffy and not oily. And the presentation and packaging done with care. I should warn those of you who may be more susceptible, the default spiciness level of the food seems to be in the medium-hot level so adjust you order accordingly. I would definitely eat here again and likely dine in given the ambiance of the restaurant. 9.5/10

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant after it came highly recommended for it's…read morebiryani options. I will say this that the Dum Mutton Biryani was very tasty and had a very generous portion. The mirchi ka saalan was probably the most authentic I have tasted in the US. Very like what I have tasted in the past in Hyderabad. The malai chicken kebabs were succulent and tasty. Inspite of all these amazing plus points, I rated them low as there communication and app updates were very poor. What bothered me was that they changed status from preparing to wrapping up indicating that they were ready to hand it over to the delivery partner. The first person reached and waited over five minutes and left. Then I saw someone else was designated and the poor guy waited over 30 mins and was nice enough to stick around when he didn't have to. And the restaurant kept stalling and telling him it will be another 10 mins. My issue is not that they took long, I understand make good quality food takes time and I am fine with that. But then don't miscommunicate and make a delivery person wait around impacting his income. I hope they improve their operations and communicate accurately. Overall, inspite of the operational issue, the food was really good and I recommend it. Maybe it might be better if I visited and dined in.

We tried their original samosa chaat, and wow--it was absolutely delicious. The portion size was amazing for the price! We visited again and this time tried the aloo paratha along with their samosa chaat. The aloo paratha is made from scratch and tasted wonderful. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. Great food, and generous portions.

The best part honestly was the mango lassi, super concentrated but not overly sweet, just mango delicious goodness.
