Godavari Cincinnati

"After 4 years of taste disappointments, we bravely tackled their buffet lunch. Why, you ask ? Thanks to our friends' push, we took the plunge. Not exactly a food wonderland, but hey, it was decent enough. The meat played it cool—fresh and delightful. The fish was swimmingly tasty, and the Hyderabad style chicken dum biryani had us doing a happy dance. While each dish had its merits, a sprinkle more of the right seasoning and spice could have elevated the taste to a whole new level. It's like they were hinting at greatness but holding back a bit – the seasoning's version of playing hard to get! Now, let's talk desserts. Shahi tukda was the superstar. However, they might want to gather the sweet troops and rethink the dessert lineup. On the brighter side, the curd rice was a fresh, tasty surprise. Ambiance, oh dear ambiance! It could use a splash of color and some serious decoration therapy to make it as inviting as your grandma's kitchen. Staff members were sweethearts, providing service that even Cupid would be proud of. Speaking of love, a bit of TLC for the ambiance and the staff wouldn't hurt. The price for the food? Well, it didn't break the bank, but it could do with a bit of haggling. All in all, dining here is like a rollercoaster – some ups, some downs, but in the end, you're still craving that next ride."

"The lunch buffet was AMAZING! So many different choices all that taste really awesome. Such depth of flavors. The offerings included both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Also included some drink offerings like Chai tea. For the offerings, reasonably priced at $21.99 per person. Would highly recommend especially if you want to try a large variety of different Indian food."

"Food surprisingly tasted very good with lot of vegetarian options Service was quick and good Place was a little congested but you will not complain about it once you taste the food"

"This place had a super extensive menu with dishes from all over India that you don't see a lot of at other local Indian spots. They also serve up some of the more familiar dishes. I eat tons of Indian, and I certainly learned/tried some new dishes from visiting here. The gongura fish curry (medium hot) was excellent, with intense flavors that mesh really well, really fresh fish flavor, and the perfect amount of spice for me to get a burn without overpowering dish. The chicken chettinadu was also near perfection with the flavors/heat and had giant pieces of chicken. The garlic naan was pretty good, large, but could have been a little softer. There's so much that catches my eyes on the menu, and so far, I've been very impressed. I'll definitely be a regular and keep feeding my curiosity!"
