worst experience ever...my whole family got sick...even my 1 year old baby suffered..we ordered chole batura..didn't knew this could happened to us...will never go again!! read more

Gokul has been the vegeterian favorite for Atlanta people for as long as I remember. If you are looking for a Indian vegeterian snack place with very affordable prices this is the place for you. They have variety of North Indian and few South Indian items. If you are craving good chat in the evening make this your destination. They also have a huge selection of sweets and savors in here that range from fresh jalebis to nylon sev. Do not expect good service at this place as it is a Indian fast food joint with self service. The prices are very reasonable and the items taste good. There is also a pan shop conveniently located inside the business with hoard of flavors (chocolate pan, seriously!). The place can be more well maintained and a few items can be more tastier. read more

Gokul Sweets - Long array of sweets and savors - Indian Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

See all

Gokul Sweets offer wide range of Indian sweets and snacks along with the regular dishes but then the taste and the quality is not standard. Jalebi was very soggy, not so crispy/not so fresh snacks and thali they offer do not taste good chapatis were dry good thing is they have friendly staff and the pani puri they offer is tasty. read more

This is place is bad. Food is bad service is bad. As if they are trying hard to recycle old stale food. Order falooda and it was acidic and bad as shit. I literally thought about driving back 10 miles to throw them back at you. This place is dirty please avoid there are better Indian restaurants in The area read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! Was completely ignored at the counter trying to place and order. I'll never beg anyone to take my money NEVER AGAIN!! read more

My daughter walked right to the counter and the lady did not acknowledge my presence. My daughter is 13 with darker skin. I walked to the counter and the lady serviced me immediately. This place has discriminatory practices. Stay far away and try another store that appreciates your business....then again this is Georgia, perhaps consider making your snacks read more

Disgusting food! Stay away! I ordered food for my kid's birthday party and ordered Dahi wada and Ragda Patties. Both dishes were stale to say the least. Dahi wada was made from bread (and not from lentils as their website claims) and was hand's down the worst food I've ever had. They were huge and ugly- clearly compensating for the lack of taste. Ragda Patties was just as horrible- I ended up throwing out most of the food. Luckily I had other dishes that were home made which saved the day. read more

Who spends Christmas day in an Indian cafeteria? Well...we did....and evidently so did a whole horde of other Indian families. :-) We had the following: Samosa Chaat (2 samosas swimming in a mix of chutney, yogurt, chickpeas, and tamarind sauce Saag Paneer- Lightly creamy sauce, spinach wasn't overcooked the point of being creamed (which is a good thing for me), and paneer (Indian cheese) was slightly fried. Perfect with a plate of white rice. Paneer 65- Basically a vegetarian rendition of "Chicken 65"- cubes of paneer deep fried in flavored batter. The batter never gets as crispy as the chicken rendition, probably because of the inherent moisture trapped inside the paneer. (Or maybe they didn't fry it hot enough?) Pav Bhaji Dosa- Basically a dosa stuffed with tasty curry, accompanied with coconut chutney and lentil soup. This dosa is cut into sections, and is flat, unlike the usual puffy cylindrical dosas. In summary, if you want a tasty, super carb load, and don't mind a vegetarian menu, by all means come here! For some of us, you may end up with "Burning butt syndrome" a day or so afterwards....you've been warned. read more

I've heard about this place from Indian friends before, but haven't had a chance to check it out in person until recently. Came with the hubs on a Saturday afternoon around 2:30pm. The place was packed with Indian folks--you know it's a good sign when an ethnic restaurant is full of its own ethnic people. I get a good feeling about this. I order the masala dosa and the hubs gets the special fried rice. Also got the fried potato balls (vada) and a mango lassi. The fried rice comes out pretty quickly. It's very flavorful, with bits of fried mushroom and paneer. Can't go wrong with fried. The outside of the potato balls was a little bit soggy, but the stuffing (potato with spices) is tasty. The mango lassi was a mistake... it was WAY too sweet and thick. I can make it better. I had to add water to it to thin it down. Sadness. But the best part of the lunch, IMO, was the dosa. We had to wait a while for it, to the point that I thought they'd forgotten about it. When it came out, I realized it was huge! The dosa was crispy perfection, and the stuffing on the inside was the same as the one in the potato vada. Tasty stuff. It also comes with coconut chutney and the standard lentil soup. All very good complements to the dosa. I'll be back for the dosa again! Yummy in my tummy. PS- half of the store is a all sweets place. The other half (in the back) offers vegetarian savory Indian fare. read more

I strongly recommend not to try the dahi puri, tikka masala and bullet baby corn. The dahi puri had the chick peas straight from the fridge cold with no chutney and less yogurt. The tikka masala had spoilt potatoe patties used and the bullet baby corn had only one spice in it which was hot. Tried to wash it all down with salt lassi which was watered down with some strange spice in it. Had to leave most of the meal as it was inedible. read more

Im a huge foodie from Mumbai livin in Atlanta for over 2 years now...I've had the best chaat in India from Agra to New Delhi to Jaipur to Mumbai so I know what good chaats taste like - not ultra spicy like some people prefer but with just the amount of sweetness, spicyness, tangyness and the like... Gokul Sweets is just the place if your looking for really good chaat in Atlanta. The chole-bhature ( chickpeas curry with a traditional Indian bloated bread - blooody tasty) is to die for..I would even go as far as saying it compares to what I've eaten in Mumbai if not better. The samosa chat as some folks pointed out is awesome. The chilly paneer or fried mushroom or manchurian are really awesome too ( appetizers). The rice and vegetable dishes (bhindi (okra), paneer, alu dum(potato curry)) are definitely good but not the best. The sweets in this place - Gajar ka halwa (carrot sweet) and boondi ladoo as well as some of the pedas are really good. The place and decor are nothing great but trust me the food is really enticing ! Oh also i would highly recommend Ragada Patties ( very similar to Samosa chaat but better than it) Also please avoid the pav bhajis - horrible ! All in all a place me and all my Indian friends keep coming over and over again ! read more

I'm a little conflicted with my feelings on this place. My in-laws wanted to take my husband and me here for a while now. The way they were talking about it excitedly made me think this was the greatest place on earth. Just before we were to leave for the place, my husband and I finally looked through the Yelp reviews and were horrified to learn of the sanitary conditions of this restaurant. Immediately, I grew wary. But I didn't want to dash their hopes so we decided to go along with them on New Year's Day. The first thing we noticed was the place was jam-packed with people - mostly Indians. There was a long line to order the food. Once you place your order, the cashier will give you a table number and you find a table (hopefully - or you just wait around until a table is free). There is a section toward the back where you get plastic utensils and napkins. Once the food is ready, the ladies will yell out the table number and you get your food. You, then, proceed to eat the food. We ordered dahi vada, masala dosa, fried chilis, and malai kofta with nan. The food as a whole was okay - albeit a bit too greasy for my taste. For the price, it wasn't terrible and the food was provided relatively fast. But you could easily tell that pretty much nothing is fresh. Since the place was famous for its sweets, we decided to get mango barfi, something that was new to us. We normally just get regular barfi. I'm not sure what to make of mango barfi - it tasted similar to sweet chalky mango lassie? Weird but not terrible. Maybe we should've gotten something more tradition like halwas or gulab. The restaurant itself doesn't look THAT bad - although I actively avoided the bathrooms. Was it top-notch quality - not at all. But it looked somewhat decent and clean. There is one guy that goes around and cleans the tables. How clean the actual rag is - I don't know. I would stick to eating the food in the containers instead of possibly tainting it with the table germs - which could be hard to do if you ordered the gigantic masala dosas and the dosas looked desperate to touch the tables. I don't think I would go back unless my in-laws really want to. It's just not really my type of place. read more

I wouldn't say it is amazing like the sweet shops in India. It is alright, enough to satisfy cravings. For Diwali special, there are a bunch of different discounts on sweet boxes. We made our own mix! Got the jelabi, peda, kaju rolls and laddu. read more

Gokul Sweets - Indian Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

I reviewed an Indian restaurant recently and stated that I didn't know what to order; well, after this experience I have discovered my Indian lover, aka Samosa Chaat. I came to Gokul with my coworkers to grab lunch. As others have said, there's nothing fancy about this place, it's actually just a lunch counter with a cafeteria atmosphere- if you're looking for some schmancy Indian restaurant with all the decor, this isn't the place for you! I wasn't sure what to order but was given recommendations by my coworker and she said that the Samosa Chaat was great. Trusting her, I went with it. Now, the serving is an appetizer and it doesn't come with a side of rice, I think next time I'll get a side of rice to fill me up a bit more. I loved the chick peas, the samosas, and the spice was perfect! For $5 and change this can't be beat. My only wish is that Gokul was more convenient to where I live so I could come more often. read more

It's taken me a very long time to write a review of Gokul and I've been going there at least once every couple of weeks for the last (almost) 2 years. I guess I owe Gokul that review. Part of me wants to keep Gokul as hidden as it can be so I can avoid longer waits. But, the altruistic side of me has prevailed. Hence, this review. Although Gokul holds itself out to be a "sweets" shop ...(and yes, what a sweets shop it is with a wall full of a myriad of freshly made Indian sweets), my penchant for this place starts with its wonderful food. Gokul has the best chaat in Atlanta (and dare I say it's on par with that in India) and their Indian-Chinese (veg manchurian, hakka noodles etc) is killer. The Paneer Tikka and Bindi Masalas are solid and their dosas are crispy and tasty. All in all, I look past the uninviting exterior, the questionably untidy interior and the stoic service when coming here. Because the food is that good. read more

Best Pani Puri in town. Their chaats and coffee are also great. Been going there for more than 10 years.

You must save room for dessert! You. Must! I have ate at this place before it even renovated into something bigger, which by the way is still not that big. If your looking for something really clean and so on and so on. Just go somewhere else. This place is ratchet. But the food is amazing. This is how the culture is, I am used to it. Americans eh probably not so much. I love the Dhai Puri and The Paneer 65 is to die for! The Bhel Puri is also amazing. My mom gets the karachi chaat which I don't like much. The noodles are good as well and so is the spicy baby corn. I don't like masala dosa, but they have it here. If i can suggest two things to try. It would be .......... 1) Paneer 65 2) Dhai Puri One rule, when you get a drink or even water. Get a straw. Rule of thumb for indian or pakistani places. Put straws in your drink! This place got a 83 for there inspection. So yeah.... There are tons of desserts to choose from. My favorites are Rass Madhuri and you can never ever ever go wrong with Ghulab Jamuns. There is also a tiny shop inside that sells indian movies and this sweet leaf called Paan..Google it...I'll wait.... You will like this place only if you don't care about not being catered to because there is no servers and if you don't care about sparkling cleanliness. PS: Parking is a Mother..... read more

I hope to someday mate with, and produce children by, the Samosa Chaat at Gokul Sweets. Real talk. Enormous selection of Indian and South Asian desserts, as well as a delectable assortment of traditional Indian fare, chaat appetizer-sized fried creations, and some "Indo-Chinese" rice dishes. Everything is vegetarian, and they have daily specials that discount menu sections throughout the week. read more

So much variety! They have a ton of different chaats, Indian Chinese and other vegetarian snacks. I got Papdi Chaat, Hyderabadi Pani Puri and Malai Falooda. Papdi Chaat was decent, and I couldn't finish the Hyderabadi Pani Puri. The filling of this Pani Puri is better than normal Pani Puri, but I just can't stand that spicy water - it's gross! My recommendation would be to go with Dahi Puri. The Malai Falooda was amazing - there was a bit of rabri at the bottom! Absolutely delish! read more

I enjoy looking at the large selection of sweets and choosing the ones I want to try. I think they have sugar-free and splenda options. I've had their thali, which is all right on weekends, but lacking on weekdays. Food is mediocre, and service is all right. The lady at the counter smiles once a month, I think. You may want to skip this place if hygiene is a top priority. read more

Nice place to get all indian sweets,snaks,food and paan. Will visit again when i come back to Atlanta. read more

See all

We went for the Indian sweets, which I'm addicted to, btw. Usually, I get my fix when we go to Little India in Jackson Heights once a year. We haven't lived in Atlanta for very long but are so glad to have found Gokul. BTW, I find the sweets at Gokul much better than any I've had in Jackson Heights. The selection is dizzying, they taste more of the ingredients such as pistachios, cardamon, coconut, cashew, etc., etc., and they are not cloyingly sweet -- just perfect. The staff at Gokul Sweets was especially helpful and friendly and they sell their sweets in gorgeous boxes, which make for a most attractive presentation when offering the confections as a gift. Highly Recommended. read more

Its a great place. Delicious mix of South Indian, Gujarati and Punjabi food. We'd been there y'day and gobi manchurian and fried rice was just amazing. It was slightly oily and spicy but thats what exactly the typical Indian street food is. The samosa/kachori chats were mouthwatering and so was masala dosa. The food was on time, good clean place with delicious taste. Well, a masala pan at the end just pegs things out. I recommend this place. read more

Food is average. Not the restaurant quality but more like Indian street food. One order of bread (naan or roti) consists of 2 pcs, so order accordingly. Sweets selection is expansive and decent. I tried the kalakand and milk cake and both were fresh and light on sugar unlike many places which overload the sweets with sugar. Dosas were great but the accompanying dip i.e. 'Sambhar' was below average. Avoid going to the restrooms. They are filthy and you will loose your appetite. I wish the owners took note of other reviewers complaining about the cleaniness and did something. Service time can be high on weekends and it is a self service restaurant, so try ordering everything at once or you will have to wait for your next order half way through your meal. read more

So we were a group of about 14 people who came here after the day of our friend's wedding. The place is big enough to fit around 30 people at any time. The interior is very casual but they have an interesting panorama of pictures with dishes they serve. The lady at the counter wrote down my name at the time of order as Emit instead of Matt. Alright, it's close enough so I'll take it. What's to like here: - pretty tasty food at reasonable prices - excellent variety of Indian appetizers and snacks - fast service read more

My favorite Indian spot in Decatur! And I've been to almost all of them. They're great for dine in or togo. They always get the order right and everything comes out in a timely manner. The dosas are some of the best in town. And make sure to get a side of the pickles. They're like nothing else. Check them out! read more

Awesome food - very flavorful. Veggie only. Paneer 65 is awesome, as is paneer tikka masala.

I cannot live w/out this place. The dahi puri, bhel puri and rose lasse are awesome. They have an extensive selection of sweets and savory snacks. Decor and cleanliness are not their strongsuits. read more

I'm from DC/Maryland area, and I've yet to find a casual Indian or Indian street food establishment. This place is amazing. A friend brought me here because I love pani puri and dahi puri--and boy does this place do it well! Everything we tried--and we tried a lot-- was delicious. The "curries" don't come with rice or naan which is a little disappointing. You won't even miss eating meat here, we got through the meal and were surprised and how full and satisfied we all were--I'm pretty sure we skipped dinner that evening. read more

This place is great to eat when you actually crave for some tasty Indian food/snacks. On my favorite list - Vada paav - for $2.5, the best vada paavs I've had after coming to the States. All chaat Items, bhajiyas. If you are a gujju & have loved the dabeli back home, then the taste of their dabeli may disappoint you but it's as good as you can get oversees so no complaints! Their freshly made snacks - I've tried almost all of 'em. Fresh Paan - It's a must whenever we go there. read more

One of my favorite Indian places in Atlanta. DELICIOUS food. I've put myself into a food coma many a time at this restaurant. Food is quick to come out and always fresh tasting. I've tried most of the menu and always come back to their Mysore masala dosa, bhel puri, samosa chaat, pav bhaji, and chole bhatore. It's best to eat there, however. Because items like dosa and bhel puri are freshly made to be crispy/crunchy, they don't do well with takeout or delivery. read more

They have the best sweets! OMG their sweet samosas are to die for! Not for the light of heart, as their sweet are very high in Caloric intake so I suggest you eat in moderation. =). I had the Papdi chaat and the sweet samosas. Love to eat here everytime I am in town! this place rocks! go Gokul! read more

Unpretentious and delicious, Gokul sweets is my go-to to-go Indian vegetarian food, especially late night. I have never eaten the passive choice of sweets, because that's just not my thing, but I have heard that they are so-so from Indian friends. I always get paneer 65, one of the baby corn dishes and chana masala, then try something new to me--but I only get food to go as the place is not extremely clean and is always packed with hungry people. read more

Pathetic Service and Low Quality Food We usually to Chopaati in the same complex, but it was so crowded we decided to try another restaurant in Patel Plaza. After ordering our food it took almost 30 mins to get our food and they forgot most of our order. They don't even give all the food at the same time. You have to constantly listen for the name of your party to get your food- But unfortunately many customers have the same name and things get confused. The food was also poor quality, the pulav rice was bad, and so was the saag paneer. We would have had pav bhaji too if they hadn't forgotten about us. I refuse to go here again, especially on the weekends. read more

5 stars for the samosas, which I can't get enough of! Seriously, their lentil-curry-potato mix is money. The people at the counter are nice and I'm really liking the saag paneer, which is not what you'd expect but really good. The sweets are ok, but I come here for the food...I've been to a couple of Indian restaurants in Atlanta that taste like Paula Deen got to it. Gokul is way better than that! By far my favorite takeout right now. read more

Cheap and delicious. Filthy and crowded. If you're looking for some authentic South Asian eats, here, you're getting the real deal. Gokul Sweets isn't a particularly fancy place. The fluorescent lighting is overly bright, and the decor is absolutely garish. Food is served up on Styrofoam, and a sign for drinking water points toward a water fountain next to a stack of Styofoam cups. The booths and tables are a little gross. (If this place were more popular on Yelp, I'm sure someone would've bitched about the 81/B health inspection rating by now.) And a counter near the entrance sells paan (a betel nut preparation that, when chewed, offers a mild high while staining your teeth blood red) and South Asian DVDs, which makes things even more chaotic to the senses. And, damn, is this place crowded. But it's crowded for good reason -- the food is solid. It's not amazing, no, but it's cheap, authentic, and filling. I'm a chaat kind of guy, so that's what I usually go for. I've had the bhel puri and samosa chaat here so far, and they're definitely some pretty good preparations of the stuff. When you walk in past the paan and DVD stand, you'll see a huge display of South Asian sweets to your right. I haven't tried any myself, but this is one of the wider selections of South Asian desserts you'll find in the metro Atlanta area. Keep walking toward the counter in the back, staffed with some pretty friendly folks, for the real food. There, you'll find quite a selection of vegetarian dishes. There's a good-sized chaat menu, offered along with many of your usual vegetarian entrees (aloo mutter, chana masala, bhindi masala, beingan masala, etc., all about $6 to $7 each). Thalis are available every weekday for $7.99, with a special thali available on the weekends for $2 more. And there's a good South Indian spread -- dosas, uttapam, idli, and sambar -- too. Then, there's the Indo-Chinese menu, offering the usual soups, fried rice, and fried noodle dishes (e.g., Hakka noodles). Add to that a few classic Indo-Chinese dishes, about $6 to $7 each, including veg manchurian and paneer 65. And don't forget your drink! There's faloodas, lassis, and chai -- admittedly, all a bit on the expensive side -- along with some imported Indian sodas. (Thums Up, anyone? That's not a typo.) Place your order at the counter, pay (I did see someone use a credit card, though I paid with cash, myself), and pick out a clean -- no, make that "cleaner," in a relative sense -- booth to wait for your name to be called. Good stuff. There are also happy hour specials that run from 2 to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. Tuesdays offer up $4.99 subzi (vegetable) dishes, such as kadai paneer and paneer tikka masala. Wednesdays are set aside for $4.99 Indo-Chinese dishes, including fried rice. Up on Thursday afternoons are $4.99 dosas, including spring dosas, pav bhaji dosas, and masala dosas. And Fridays offer up $3.99 chaats; try the samosa chaat. Parking outside's a bit tight and awkward, but it shouldn't be any problem finding a spot. The food here's probably not worth a trip across town, but it's a solid option if you're in the area. I whole-heartedly recommend this little slice of South Asia. read more

There was a cockroach just walking around on the sweets in the case. Raises serious questions about the cleanliness of this place!

My top choice for Indian food in Atlanta. The food is always delicious, perfectly seasoned, hot, fresh, and spicy. They don't serve naan but have very very good parathas. They also have a huge desert section with around 100+ deserts to choose from. The place doesn't have any indian decor, waiters, or even silverware...but the food more than compensates. If naan was on the menu, they would get 5 stars. read more

The worst customer service I've ever come across. The three receptionists were standing in front of me and talking amongst themselves and picking up the phone calls but refused to ask if we were ready to order. Knowing we were leaving, they kept joking in front of us without the intent of fixing the issue. The food is average, and could be better. The food reflects their bad attitude. The sweets are all right and sometimes stale, but better at Rajhbog and Royal Sweets. read more

FILTHY restaurant, horrible service. Over charges and will argue to justify why they over charged. The counter lady kept licking her fingures to turn order book pages and served out orders with the same hand!!! Thali was so greesy to touch and spotty we asked for our money back and left completely disgusted. Wanna fall SICK go here to eat. Really they should be reported to FDA. We wonder if all they sell is handled with licked fingures or may be worse sneezed on and coughed on. It is hard to believe if employees wash their hands after using the restroom. read more
