The food was pretty good and we enjoyed the flavors overall. The only downside was the lighting -- the bulbs are extremely bright and positioned at eye level, making it uncomfortable to look across the table without feeling like your eyes are straining. A softer, lower-wattage bulb would make the atmosphere much more pleasant and match the quality of the food. My head hurts- but my belly is full. read more

Fun Fact: Godavari Denver brings Southern Indian cuisine with love. I had an exciting night trying some new dishes from this cuisine that offers so much more than just the standard fare. I appreciated the guidance of my host, who led me to: * Andhra Masala Fried Fish~So crisp and full of flavor, this appetizer was the joyous surprise of the night for me. Special Paneer Tikka~A plate full of cheese that comes out sizzling? Say less. Telangana Mamsam Korma~A goat korma with bone along with rice and garlic Naan Rasmali~I've never had this before, but boy, howdy was it a great dessert. ‍ Margarita~made by hand with lemon, lime, tequila, and triple sec * With over 30 locations across two countries, Godavari really brings some tatsy eats in a friendly, welcoming environment. read more

I thought it was just ok as far as Indian food goes. Went on NYE around 6pm and there were maybe 3 other tables there aside from myself and my daughter. There were several people working, they kept walking by but it took at least 15 min before we were acknowledged and asked if we wanted something to drink. Food was ok, not impressive. It took another 20 min after we finished our meal for someone to bring us our check. I was left wondering why this place had such rave reviews when we were less than impressed. read more

Service is great. They are always punctual to take your order, and food comes out quickly. Their paneer 555 dish is AMAZING!!! You have to get that as an appetizer. Their upma is good as well. Biryani (which is my husband's favorite) has been lacking the last couple times we were there. Not much chicken meat, and not very flavorful. We've tried multiple chicken curries, and those have been satisfactory. Nearly every time we ordered upma it was good, but the last time it was a bit dried out and chunky. The atmosphere is good, and the food overall is good despite some disparities in quality control. If they could be more consistent on quality of dishes, we would come more often. read more

I have only been here once and had the lunch buffet, they have a lunch buffet Monday-Friday starting @ 11:30, not sure about the weekend. Week day lunch buffet is $18 and it is a typical Indian fare. Nothing really stood out and none of it was bad, just average. If I happen to be really hungry and want to stuff myself will visit again read more

I met my adult son there Tuesday for lunch at 1:30. This was our first time at Godivari and we were interested in their buffet. The food was excellent. Many of the items were spicy and all were delicious. The large buffet was arranged in an L shape with vegetarian foods first in the long strip of the L. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very pleasant and informative. Returning often in the coming months is a certainty. read more

The best Indian food I've eaten in Colorado. Everything was very fresh & flavorful. Good service. Look forward to coming back.

This is our go to restaurant for anything South Indian. We have ordered multiple times and they are consistent with their food quality. We have dined in as well and had their weekly afternoon buffet too. I definitely recommend this restaurant for good quality, tasty dishes like paneer 777, Veg kheema or paneer biryani, punugulu, rasam, dosa and more! read more

Went to this place on Sunday and the food was really good! Great atmosphere and really interesting buffet style seating and serving. Very friendly faces as well everything was superb! read more

Wow! So far this is the best Indian food we've had in Colorado. I'm mainly here to review the lunch buffet since that's what we had. We went on a Friday so the buffet had lots of options though we heard there's even more on Saturdays and Sundays! Apparently the chef just decides what he wants to make so there are definitely some mainstays and also lots of rotating dishes. I think that's awesome. Honestly every dish we had we absolutely loved. Some were just not to our liking but that's more of a personal preference then it tasting bad. But that was like 1 or 2 items. The tandoori chicken was one of the better ones I've had Stateside. It was moist and flavorful. Lots of tandoori especially at buffets tend to dry out but not this one. Also, this is a Southern Indian restaurant so if you're looking for a more 'typical' Indian buffet with food that isn't even half as spicy as it should be then this is not the place for you. But what it is is authentic, actually spicy and super delicious. We also got the plain dosa which was huge and so good! Growing up in Malaysia that's what I had a lot of so it's nice to have it in a place here. Overall we enjoyed our experience and the service was very good too. read more

Great for dinner, delicious southern Indian dishes. Great service probably best service among all Indian places in Denver metro. I would avoid their buffet though, it was too greasy for my liking . Go for dinner !! read more

Godavari was awesome. I went with my sister and we had a great time. The food was buffet style and it was so good. The fruit custard... one of the best things I've ever eaten! The service was nice and fast. The inside had great design making a lunch feel like a vacation. I also enjoyed the "Thums Up" drink they served. Godavari you will see me again. read more

This place is outstanding. I found out about it a month ago, and I've been three times. The buffet is plentiful, and they switch up the dishes daily. Everything tastes fresh, and while I have no basis for saying this, it seems authentic. I'll be back soon and often! read more

Food was amazing. Service was a bit on the slower side, but the place was packed, which is always a good sign. The only negative I can think of is typically asking for extra rice with a dish, has been complimentary. Otherwise, this was a phenomenal meal. Will be back! read more

Very friendly and helpful staff with getting suggestions on what to order. Ambiance was excellent as well and the food was absolutely delicious. I did medium spice and it was just at my limit which was perfect. read more

Decent food and ok service. Pricy for what they serve. I don't recommend this place. Thx!

So one of the items we ordered was Gobi Manchurian this item was off with soy sauce flavor dominating and big pieces were uncooked. The onion kulcha and garlic naan pieces were so small compared to other restaurants. In similar Indian restaurants, four pieces are equal to two pieces. The layered parotta was also small, just two pieces. We were not served rice as well. A particle was present in the chickoo shake. I was explained that it was just a seed. They took the drink when we showed them the particle and were not provided an alternate but charged for it. read more

We went for the lunch buffet. If you are a non-vegetarian then it's a good value. But if you are a vegetarian, come really hungry. Because 25 dollars per person is too much if you are vegetarian. The food was fine, not exceptional. But there is a variety, so if you are very, very hungry go pig out! read more

Probably a bad night for them. The mutton biryani was okay. About a fourth of the meat was bone. The bone probably adds flavor. Maybe I'm just not used to mutton bones in my biryani. Didn't receive the Basmati rice with our order. Paid for two garlic naan and only received one. If we're ever in the area maybe we'll give it another try. First impression was not very good. read more

This is the best Indian place in Denver, I have found. So many vegetarian options. Highly recommend going on Friday, as the selection tends to be the strongest. read more

My family and I have gone several times since their opening. Although busy, and therefore still figuring out kinks, their service has always been excellent. The employees are polite and thoughtful. The decor plays wonderful homage to South Indian styles while remaining contemporary and comfortable. And food is delicious!! They have unique items, drinks, and desserts you wouldn't find at other indian restaurants in denver. I hope the simplify the extensive menu a little, to continue to focus on high quality and tasty meals. Would 100% recommend to all in the area!! read more

Indian food is a lot about variety and the wide spectrum of flavors, and this is that one Indian restaurant in Colorado that has the most options on the menu. The quality of food is one of the best that you will find around here. Service is also great. Ambiance is casual, good for friends and families. If you haven't tried their buffet yet, you definitely should! I really hope that their food quality remains consistent. read more

Spicy food from the North of India. Lots of flavor and a great staff. I went twice during my trip to Denver, that is how good it was. Try the Dosa! read more

Absolutely the best and most authentic Indian food I've ever had. The flavors are truly balanced, deep, and satisfying. I'm drooling just writing this!! I've brought friends here and they agree it's quite unforgettable. There are so many mediocre places that you go to because it's a bad habit. Try this place to shake up your routine and just know your time, money, and energy to go somewhere new will be well spent here. It will become your favorite and your health and happiness will thank you for it. read more

Food is awesome. Love the ambience. Service is decent. Being a South Indian place, it is packed by Indians so definitely a great sign. But what sets this place absolutely different from the rest is including Sunny Leone Mixed Hakka Noodles in their menu. You guys deserve a medal. But other than South Indian, I wouldn't order anything else. No Indo-Chinese and no North Indian. Nope! read more

Went in for buffet! Service was good but the food was really cold and not so tasty! Although it was a fair deal for the amount I paid for a buffet lack of taste and freshness is the only reason I give it a 3! I added one additional star because in my last visit the food was good in buffet! read more

Godavari Denver - Buffet - Indian Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

Indian Brunch Buffet - with an explosion of Indian restaurants in South Denver there are so many welcomed options. Godavari is a new addition with a quirky interior where you are welcomed by a Tata truck face and wait of an hour to be seated. Once seated you will patiently wait in a line to try over 30 different indian dishes. Most of which I can't recall but the few that stood out the most were the Mutton, Briyani and a shrimp dish. Here comes the odd part - the invention of a glove has done miracles for healthcare settings and infection control but the staff here have no concept of what gloves do. They have them on, touch their faces, shirts, put their gloved hands in their jeans pockets, touch pens and serve tables with the same gloves - The highlight is also the use of plastic utensils that one grabs at the bar ... not a bad thing but just odd. Overall decent food if you can get past the long wait, long lines to get food in the restaurant and the glove issue. read more

Buffet food options were great! South Indian curries were authentic and flavorful. I will go back to try menu order next time.

My sister and I followed our noses for the most amazing lunch buffet at Godavari. You won't be disappointed!

Just had the lunch buffet and it was very good. I wish they offered more curry dishes. The curry shrimp was excellent. The nan was good. They cleaned your old plates promptly. I highly recommend. read more
