Kerala. As "knowledgeable " as I thought that I was about the regional cuisines of India, I experienced some incredible new flavor profiles from the south last night at the Denver Godavari restaurant. Huge menu, almost too big/extensive. I could eat here for a year, trying a different dish every day. Are the standard Punjab/Mumbai north Indian restaurants fare seem one dimensional. I can see that a buffet is the way to sample and experience. Sad that the one in Houston closed. So I guess that I will need to look for Chetinnad restaurants when I get home. Some photos of the restaurant on a busy Friday night to follow.

While Godavari has been around for a while, it was new to me... and a delicous experience. Plenty of parking too! Sunday afternoons offer a $25 all you can eat vegetarian and non-veg menu with loads of choices of each. Labeled tags with descriptions allow for easy selections. This was a great way to try a little bit of everything. The food was tasty and not overly spicy. We tried the achars and pickles that were a great addition. Chai is part of the buffet too! I will say they heavily push the buffet, making it seem that ordering off the menu will take up to 45 minutes. However, we saw those who ordered from the menu get their food in half that time. Great ambiance, although a little hectic through the buffet!

We came at 12:20, party of 5. It is self service Sunday buffet and the place was packed plenty of vegetarian dishes as well as non-vegetarian. Choice of mojito and masala chai. There is also a pani-puri bar and samosa chaat made to order. Have to line up for that, small wait as server assembles the snack.

Godavari Denver is simply an easy 5 star Indian buffet! They offer vegetarian and meat options. Service is amazing and staff are super friendly! There's so many dishes to try and everything was fresh and hot. I wish Godavari existed in Texas because man oh man the spicy and flavors of each dish was made like you had went to a family meal! Everything was different flavor profile and it's super authentic! Chicken, goat, paneer, veggies, different curries, different rices, briyani, and so much more! I really enjoyed my meal! This place was packed but we manage to be able to snag a table during rush hour. The thing that I find strange is that they were selling mango lasso drinks kept in a cooler refrigerator display and some other items you can purchase. I wish they would just have that part of the buffet. There seems to be a lot of them and people weren't buying those items because they already paid $$ for the buffet. Do I recommend this place? Yes! If you are in Denver you need to visit this place! Great value and great amount of food! It's a great way to try different authentic indian dishes! Must try and visit! When we are back in Denver we will definitely be returning!

The food is so delicious, but my favorite thing is the desserts. Their carrot halwa is one of the best I've ever had. They also offer ice cream. I looooove the ras malai flavor. Service is excellent as the staff are super kind and helpful. The decor is super cool and creative.

This is India Restaurant & really busy place on weekends, always serve good and tasty india spices that will make your toungue dancing. The inside restaurant is cute and full of decoration will add your appetite to eat more.

Avakai goat curry - so flavorful and fall off the bone meat! The heat was there but doesn't overwhelm the delicious flavor

The food here is incredible! Better than anywhere in my native Chicago area, Devon Street (little India). I mean it! We are spoiled to have such a wealth of South Indian food available in one place. The dosa was perfectly crispy and stuffed with a delicious fresh potato mix, and the variety of Sambal and chutneys served with it were thick, flavorful and fresh! We also ordered the Avakai goat curry, made with mango pickle, and it had the perfect level of heat with LOTS of flavor! The meat fell off the bone, and the sauce was delicious. I also ordered a savory yogurt buttermilk, and it had lots of flavor too, and is my go-to for eating spicy, flavorful curries. Finding a spot with so much variety, including all the dosas, tiffins, chaat, and their weekly specials on top of the creative drinks as well as an alcohol menu - WOW! The atmosphere inside is also a great ambiance and service was exceptionally friendly.

By far the best South Indian restaurant in Denver. If you are expecting a North Indian restaurant where the highlights are Chicken Tikka Masala and Chickpeas, this is not your place. If you are looking for food from the south of the subcontinent, this is your your restaurant. The dosa served here is right on par with what you get in India. They ask your crisp level, and if you choose crisp as I do, you will not be disappointed. The sambar served on the side is top notch as are all of the chutneys, including tomato and coconut. The serving is a bit much for one, and I will end up sharing in the future as I will be back. Now let us talk about the lunch buffet. $18 for weekdays, higher on weekends. The buffet does boast a variety of foods including dishes made from vegetables found in the southern region of India. The buffet is very vegetarian forward, with a small selection of meat and fish kept off to the side. The buffet does include dessert as well as tea/lemonade. Overall the food is very well done. I can handle spice, however this spice level was out of my league. I can usually do some damage at an all-you-can-eat buffet however I had to end my meal earlier than expected as my tongue could no longer tolerate the heat. The service is fantastic and the menu is very welcome in Denver.

Honestly, this is currently the best Indian restaurant I've tried in Denver. Staff is accommodating, food is great and the prices are decent. My first time trying their weekend buffet and my friends here rave about it and rightly so. Their buffet is so good - so many vegetarian options, multiple types of biryanis.. it just makes sense to come here for their buffet! The medu vadas in the buffet were as good my the ones from my favourite restaurant in Mumbai! Loved it. We had to head to the airport and the staff here was so accommodating and got us a table within minutes. I hope this place continues to maintain their food standards and prices and they will always have a crowd waiting to dine here!

Good food and variety of buffet items. We couldn't do justice to all offered items, but very full and satisfying.

Did not like the buffet palate, too blend to be called as typical south indian cuisine.

What time is the weekend buffet served and how much?

The buffet is served when open for lunch at 12 on Sat and Sun. I'm not sure if they have buffet during dinner time. It's $25 for the weekend buffet.

Indian Fusion Sports Bar with Robots? Yep, That's a Thing…read more Paradise Tavern is one of the more unique dining experiences around. It's about 95% Indian cuisine with a small Chinese fusion influence, all inside a massive sports bar packed with TVs, making it a surprisingly fun place to catch a game with friends. The tandoori chicken and lamb chops arrived sizzling, like on fajita trays, with a deep smoky flavor. Terrific!! The food is outstanding! One of the coolest touches? A robot delivers some of the orders to your table, which adds a fun, unexpected twist.

Our experience at paradise tavern was...strange. Myself and another dad went with our two 1.5 year…read moreolds to watch football on sunday. We arrived at 11am when football starts, which is also when the restaurant opens. When we walked in at about 11:05 there was literally nobody in the restaurant. Lights were mostly off and it was a ghost town. After about 3 min of standing there awkwardly someone came out of kitchen and helped us to a table. We were surprised to find out they had no football package. A sports bar with TVs everywhere but no sports package is just an odd thing. Anyhow, we got lucky in that the game we cares about was on a main channel. We were the only ones there for about half an hour until about 50 pool players showed to start an organized pool tournament. Nothing wrong with that. We even watched some of the games. Everyone else in the restaurant was there for lunch or something other than football. We seemed to be the only sports fans there. It just wasn't a football vibe. The food was good. The menu is wayyyyyy too bit. Its overwhelming. They could really downsize the menu a lot. And it was too expensive for what it was. The servers are half humans and half robots and we had to flag the humans down multiple times. At that level of service the prices are just too high. Beer was very reasonably priced though. All in all, for indian food its not too bad. For pool it looks like fun. For football its just not the right place. Go to twin peaks or viewhouse or one of the other solid sports bars that has a better atmosphere for football sundays.
