    Guys.. I came here 8 months back. Today I came again. The place was not busy. It was a Christmas day. We were the only folks who were having dinner. Starting from service - confused and chaotic. They dint know which table placed which order. There were missing items. I still don't have the spicy dal I ordered. Well, Never mind now. Let me go to the taste. Our table ordered veg food. The dal was very plain though we ordered a spicy one. The Bihari Aloo Gobi said it will have Gobi. However, the Gobi was completely shattered. There were missing a complete naan which was later brought. Overall, there is such depreciation in the quality of food that I DO NOT recommend anyone to visit this place. I am bringing my rating from 4 to 1. Edit: Added the screenshots (which is being removed by the owner everytime I upload it) to show earlier response that was made and to prove we did come yesterday to dine at Godavari Columbus. Thanks for modifying the earlier review.

    We went thinking of weekend buffet would be on but due to civid-19 there is no buffet. But it was worth going. The food is tasty and authentic. Proper distancing of seating arrangements/tables was taken care. If you like spicy food try Calcutta Fish Tikka and hydrabadi mirchi ka salan. The server Joy is very good and took care of us nicely. Very good place for family lunch/dinner.

    Authentic south Indian taste for curries. Actual we can even get phulka roti as well. Nice ambiance, friendly staff and normal cost of food with good taste.

    Good food and ambience. Spice levels are closer to actual Indian food than other places in Columbus. Liquor is also served here.

    Hands down the best biryani on this side of town. The service was personally rendered by the owner. He was awesome. Fresh food, fresh paneer, great taste, reasonably priced, good clean atmosphere. I'll be here next week and the week after.

    New review: Pathetic food - burnt whole fish and plain dosa instead of the masala dosa we ordered. I went with the intention of spending at least $150 for 2 but poor attention of servers and order taker who did not come back for rest of my order since I told him to come back in 5 mins since they did not have what I wanted. Also, I needed to ask for each and everything instead of it being a dining experience. I understand being low staffed and more time for service but that was not the case. Everything basically was bad. I feel bad that this used to be a place I would recommend a year back. Old 5 star review: Awesome food and service. Beautiful ambiance. Service is so quick.

    Earlier this year, my husband and I held our wedding and reception event at Godavari. Having frequently dined at Godavari, the staff was always friendly, courteous and professional, establishing a warm personal bond with us. This was the prime reason for us deciding on Godavari as a venue for our big day. Godavari went over and above all of our expectations in helping make the most memorable day of our lives all the more sweeter. We worked with Renu, Sunil and the restaurant team on every aspect of our event - decor, food, drinks and music. For us, it came no short of blessings in disguise when the Godavari team was able to take the least amount of direction from us and run with each of those categories. Renu and her team handled the decor brilliantly. We knew what colors we wanted to use, the general look and feel of the venue. Renu took that up several notches and provided us with a decorated venue that exceeded our vision. We especially loved the thought that went into the little details like bride-and-groom done up glasses for the toast. Sunil and his team helped take the entire burden of food and drink logistics off of our shoulders and we were grateful for that. All we did was taste and decide what dishes we wanted on our menu. He helped us figure out the quality required for the guest count from his experience and that really helped. Godavari helped provide us with a DJ and music for our event. All of this relieved us from the hard work and effort required in executing the logistics of the event which left us with room to actually sit back and enjoy our big day The pricing also fit into our budget very neatly. The day of was nothing short of a dream. The event was smooth, the flow of food and drinks was great and the hospitality of the staff was warm and amazing. We still have guests talk fondly of the great overall experience. Godavari truly knows how to take a special event and add to it.

    Worst food experience ever. I ordered chicken tikka Masala where I found only three small piece of chicken, couple of piece of onion and green paper. Most important food taste was horrible. Also I ordered chicken 65 and haidrabadi chicken dum biryani and that taste was bad too. Totally waste of money. Do not recommend

    The food was absolutely horrible. I’ve had ready to eat food tastier than this. We ordered for a new year party and a couple items are wrong so we went back to the store. The person there literally said there is no standard here and everyone’s hands are different. I would avoid at all costs. Another costumer joined in behind us to tell us that the food was horrible but then the manager there was litter ally so horrible and rude to him. I have no idea how this place is running. Never going back again. My friend’s dog usually likes all types of food and even took one whiff and ran away

    My friends and I had decided to order food from here for Nee Year’s eve. Firstly, the order was incomplete, the taste was the worst. And when we asked to refund, the person was arrogant and refusing by saying kitchen is closed. I would never recommend this kitchen to anyone, if you wanna make your plans successful.

    Owner is very rude. We order almost 10 dishes and nothing was good. There are many restaurants in the area, this is not the only one. Learn to serve your customers, else one day you will go out of business.For the sake of the god please don’t waste your time and money at this restaurant.

    Worst food that I ever had in recent times. Stay away folks. Doesn't deserve even a single star. They serve something in the name of biryani. Tastes awful. Dont take the risk of earing here.

    Love the authentic Indian taste. Recommend to try Cut Mirchi once, really spicy and delicious with crispy layer.

  • 4/5 Ali G. 6 years ago on Google β€’ 91 reviews
    My ratings today are especially for the two appetizers i have tried today and overall feel of the place as an indian restaurant! You have to order 1. Rayalseema Kodi Vepudu (Chicken) 2. Mamsam Roast (Goat) Apart from that pricing is a bit on the expensive side or i can say above average! I have tried it buffet too which is worth every penny :). So go try some near authentic indian(Andhra Pradesh styles cuisines) food here at Godavari! P.S. Andra Pradesh is a indian state in southern region.

    Ordered old city biryani but they delivered old briyani meaning briyani prepared days old. I can say from smell,dryness in rice etc. I wonder these type of people are in business and serve substandard food to the public. I WILL NEVER EVER order again from this place.
