Consistently high ratings with strong praise for food quality. 47 new reviews in the last quarter.
“Excellent food and fresh and tasty. Every dish we had was really delicious. Biryanis were well cooked, mutton ghee roast was the best with right amounts of spices and their gongura shrimp curry was the best I’ve had recently. Not just the taste the quantity of each item was good and the food is not too expensive(probably I am comparing it with bigger city prices). But felt good paying less for such delicious meal.”
— Sravani Murakonda“The food here is amazing, but the service is not so much. However, I rated this place 5/5 for the quality of food and the value you get for the price. I have been to a couple of restaurants, but this is my go-to for takeout. Their biryani is hands down the best, and their non-veg appetizers and Indo-Chinese dishes are to die for. If you’re like me—a working professional who doesn’t like to eat out but sometimes doesn’t have time to prepare anything—then you should absolutely order their family pack meals. I order their family boneless biryani once a month, and the quality and quantity of food you get is unreal. I can eat that for at least 5-6 meals. I also don’t mind eating the same thing every day, making it a great value for families. Additionally, they include a non-veg appetizer and a dessert complimentary with their family meals. I almost feel like I should keep this secret to myself, but give them a try—you won’t be disappointed.”
— RASHMI REGMI“We visited this location based on the reviews, and it was definitely worth a try. The crispy garlic naan was excellent, and the malai kofta was equally delicious. The masala dosa was also quite good. One thing to note: they place bottled water on the tables, but it’s not complimentary—there’s a charge if you open it. Service was good throughout our visit. We came for dinner, but they also offer a lunch buffet which we’d be interested in trying next time.”
— Pratik A“A Taste of Authentic Indian Cuisine in the Heart of Delaware Godavari Delaware has completely redefined what I expect from Indian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the aromatic spices and warm welcome set the perfect tone for what's to come. Fish fry was awesome, perfect mixture of spices.The Lamb Biryani deserves a special mention - each grain of rice is infused with flavor, and the meat is so tender it practically melts in your mouth. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They're happy to guide you through spice levels and make recommendations based on your preferences. Prices are surprisingly reasonable ($14-20 for mains), and the portions are generous enough to share or take home. They've got great lunch specials as well. The service was OK OK. Whether you're an Indian food enthusiast or new to the cuisine, Godavari Delaware is definitely worth checking out.”
