    Puris!
    Juveriya M.

    Tuesday night is the night you have to visit Golkonda. For $15, you can get unlimited dosas, pakodas, dessert, and chai. There's 3 different kinds of rice too. Everything was delicious. You order your favorite dosa and they serve it fresh to your table. Service was quick and our tables were cleared fast. The restaurant is spacious and conveniently located next Patel Brothers. The perfect end was chai. I can't wait to come back here with friends and family again.

    Came to try the wkd lunch buffet. The food was as pretty good. A lot of different options. I liked the fresh made dosa station. The dosas are made to order and small. They offer ghee, chocolate, and other option that I don't remember. The service was not so good. It may have been a language barrier, but when we asked how the buffet works being our first time there they couldn't explain and thought we wanted to see the menu and also thought when we went for seconds that we were done and cleared our dishes including my mango lassi that I didn't finish. So I wasn't really happy about that. The ambiance was clean and nice. The price point was okay.

    Service was great and the staff helped to give suggestions. My friend and I had the samosa chaat, naan, tandoori platter, chicken chettinad, and sambar rice. Everything was delicious!! We will be back for the buffet!!

    Lemon chicken tikka from the tandoori oven. Yum!!

    Awesome food and service. I found this place by accident because it's next to Patel Brothers where I shopped. I was hungry so I had some food to go. Today came back with my kiddo, who also loves Indian food. We both enjoyed our lunch. It was a relaxing lunch with a sweet server who got everything right without writing the order so down. It was not noisy or super busy. I will be back so I can keep trying new dishes.

    Visited this restaurant for lunch buffet on a Saturday - it was pretty busy. We had to wait about 15 minutes before we could get seated. They had about 20+ items on the buffet. Biryani was too delicious. Idlis were a bit cold. Other items were good. Would love to visit again!

    Empty curry or sambar

    Really dissatisfied with weekend Lunch Buffet! When we arrived around 2 on Sunday most of the dishes on the buffet were empty! Simply put the Goat Masala had no goat meat, the salad were stale and scary, the Idlis were few and sitting cold, the Pulao tray was empty ! Overall awful experience! Check pictures out before you go !

    Non-veg thali
    Pia T.

    Omg this was amazing! For some reason I am the only one here at lunch on a Thursday and I don't know why. Decided to try this place after a shopping trip to Patel Brothers. Got the weekday special non-veg thali and ate until I was stuffed They may change the dishes out or not, I don't know. Mine had chili chicken, chicken curry, butter chicken, paneer with peas and I think cauliflower, daal, yogurt, some sort of milky desert that tasted of rose water, 2 pieces naan, and more than enough rice to gobble it all up with. Every single item was delicious. The only downside was they seem to be having some trouble with their fire alarm system, and it went off like three times while I was eating. But the food was good enough that I didn't care and I'm willing to give them a pass on that because mechanical issues happen. Definitely recommend!

When I look at the menu, I try to look for dishes that I've never had. I know our waiter suggested butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, but those are the most popular safe dishes for non Indians. I say safe dishes because your average American that walks in, is not going to order something that he/she doesn't know what it is. We ordered chicken 65, kashmiri naan, spinach chicken, kadhai lamb, and tandoori shrimp. Just a FYI, the water bottle(s) that come to your table are $2 each. They're not free. Portion sizes are average. Prices were fair. Service was great and attentive. Usually, there would be parking in the front and back. However, for some reason they were both full and there were barely any customers inside the restaurant. You can also park at the nearby parking garage (top level). That's a 2 min walk. -chicken 65 5 - this reminds me of a Chinese dish but I can't remember. I'm talking about the texture when you're eating it. As an Indian appetizer, it was delicious and would pair well with rice. Very addicting to eat. -kashmiri naan 5 - it has a mild sweet taste that is good with savory dishes. A mixture of dried fruits, coconut, and maybe nuts. -spinach chicken 5 - chicken was very tender and the sauce was flavorful. Very safe dish to eat if you're not that adventurous. -kadhai lamb 5 - the sauce has a more bold flavor than the spinach chicken. The lamb was very good. -tandoori shrimp 5 - Just a warning but this is kind of spicy especially for those that can't handle spicy foods. I like that the shrimp are prawn size and they were very tasty.

They did try to upsell items but were respectful when I declined. I decided to go with 1 of their quick combos, Combo B. It comes with 2 entrees, rice, and naan. For ~$13 this is a great option to try a variety. I tried the chicken tikka masala and the saag paneer. It was flavorful and delicious.

This one's building looks like a beautiful lodge. While there is an online Yelp waitlist (that goes up to 6 people), we had a party of 8 so I called the restaurant and they were happy to put my name down for a reservation. We came to celebrate my dad's birthday. We brought a cake to share, and when we arrived, our server was gracious enough to store it in the fridge until we were ready. We had 6 adults and 2 kids. Kids under a certain height (I forget the details exactly) are free. So we didn't have to pay for the little ones, and not like toddlers appreciate hot pot anyway. It was more, "how do we make sure they don't touch the pot?!" which went totally fine. It's to position the high chairs the furthest away from the knobs/hot surfaces. On our end of the table, we got the half-half broth of classic marrow and the gold cabbage marrow. The golden marrow was SO GOOD. I would get this again and again, because it's hot/sour; the flavor of pickled cabbage and the spice of Szechuan peppercorns. Our server said the spice builds over time, and it did. It was so flavorful that I barely used my dipping sauce. If you like hot/spicy and sour, choose this broth, it is DELICIOUS. The sauce station and the prepared food buffet was located in the middle-back of the dining area. It's a little packed and cozy in there, especially during the dinner rush, you may need to wait a little longer or keep an eye on the area to determine when to get out of your seat. This same area has self-service personal ice cream cups, soda, additional toppings/veggies/proteins, buffet (fried rice, fried chicken, egg rolls, fried buns) AND the sauce station. What I did love is there was a gentleman who was making balloon animals/hats/characters for sale near the front of the restaurant. He says he does this occasionally when he doesn't have other gigs like parties or weddings, etc, so my kiddo and my niece each got a cat and a bunny, respectively. This made their day! And it was nice for them not to be strapped into a high chair the whole time, and have something to entertain them. Overall, 4 shining stars! It would have been great if they had private and semi-private rooms like the Bridgeport location, but I think this wasn't possible due to their building. It looked like they took over a from a Mangia Bubala Roadhouse (Italian and Jewish fare) which took over from a Connie's Pizza. This place has gone through some changes, but it looks like Happy Lamb will be there for the long-run.
