    Burned kid chicken
    Mehmet K.

    This is burned chicken, no more comment. It explains everything. If you have respect your business, you should not send this order

    First time trying this dish and a wonderful surprise
    Gail G.

    We went to the Sunday special buffet today and what a wonderful experience. The first surprise was that the chai was included and easily accessible. It was delicious. All the dishes included on the buffet were flavorful and spicy to our taste. Many people might find it hot, but we didn't. The staff was attentive and owner was very friendly. I am currently certified in servesafe, which is a national certification in food safety. In the few times I've been here for Sunday brunch, I've never seen any unsafe practices. My experiences here have been positive. I'm also aware that the earlier you come to a buffet, the more food on the buffet table. Common sense indicate its poor business practice to keep filling bowls toward the end of the time. The staff and others in the restaurant are always friendly.

    Tried buffet first time here. Though options at first glance looked nice but nothing worth when tasted. Everything was over spiced. Biryani was too much loaded with spice , directly hitting your eating tracks. Goat curry was the Only dish which was kind of OK. But overall , did not liked. Will not repeat.# Disappointed !!

    This place was just ok. Definitely not Cumin! We ordered carry out. The prices are much higher than expected and the sauces are kinda watered down. There was a definite lack of meat in the Tika Masalas. The chicken did not taste like it was cooked in a tandoori oven - it was an odd fatty cubed cut of meat. The chicken 65 had an odd thick fatty breading on it, but did have good flavor. The samosas did not come with any chutneys but were pretty good. I don't think their food quality is good- see the rotten lime garnish in my photo... yikes! All in all, I would drive further for better Indian food in Columbus.

    I really loved this Goungura tandoori. Like the ambience and the service!! They were very patient in explaining the items and spice levels. Best authentic indian food in columbus!! I will definitely recommend this place

    After a long and hard day of shopping for my indoor gardening plans (it's still a plan) I headed here as this is one of the few restaurants that are open past 10pm on Saturdays and I was craving some Indian food. I ordered a paneer (cottage cheese) veg biryani. It was good as casual. I had reached just before 10pm. So the restaurant was relatively empty. So we could get service faster than usual.

    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.

    Just plain good Indian fare

    I don't know what's up with the negative reviews but this place has never disappointed! It's elegantly decorated, the food is authentic well spiced and the price is fair. So don't miss this Indian gem! It's so good ;)

    Lunch buffet was great! The biryani has the right level of spice and the rotating paneer curry today was delicious. Highly recommend!

    To start, I could eat middle eastern and/or Indian (specifically Southern) food every day, for…read moreevery meal, and be happy as anything. So it only seemed natural that I'd fall in love with Food Street, but I was worried that my expectations would exceed the reality. So instead of going in... I decided to order delivery through good ole Door Dash - expecting a sad, slightly cold, non crispy shadow what you'd get in person but let me tell yas.... this was not the case at all! Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich was phenomenal! It was wicked crispy, the size of my head (quick makes this a HUGE value... not that my head is that big, but order it to get an idea), bun was not soggy at all, and it did not disappoint. Chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, not chewy at all, and seasoned well. Coleslaw added a nice vinegar contrast (I wish there was much more coleslaw but it didn't stop me!), sauce was smokey and slightly spicy, and the bun was soft. Chicken Tikka Paratha Roll was also a hit! Great seasoning, chicken was incredibly well cooked - melt in your mouth style - with small bits of char - vegetables were fresh, and the roll itself had great chew and flavor w/out being greasy (at all) or saturated. Fries were bangers too. Ready to eat my way through the menu. If it's this good when ordered, can't image what'd it be in house.

    We heard so much about this place we went with a group of people to try it out. The place inside…read morewas nice and clean with nice decor. The service however, lacked. We went to the counter to place or order, we ordered, faluda, garlic chicken wrap, Malia boti wrap gappa chaat and mango lassi. Everything except for the faluda tasted just ok. Nothing for me to go back and try it again. Now let's go back to the faluda. They forgot to give us the faluda. We had to ask 3 times and almost 2 hours later, they finally brought it out. And it tasted nothing like any form of faluda. It was vanilla ice cream with crushed pistachio. No apologies or explanation for the wait. With so many great places to have Indian/desi street food, this is not one of them.

Drove through several lots with others prowling as well. Ended up finding street parking right in front of of the joint. Line was not out the door, which was delightful since it was only 4 degrees out, but my butt was just inside right up against the door. By the time I got to place my order, a spot opened at the counter to enjoy the meal. This place is as much of a coffee house as it is a restaurant. I saw 4 taps and was hoping for an IPA, but they were for coffee and teas. Got a Diet Coke instead. Had the Smashburger and the fried rice to take out. The burger was one of the most awesome burgers I have ever had. I don't know what they put in it, but it was just downright delicious. The fried rice was for my daughter's lunch tomorrow, but I took a few bites of it just for quality control sake, and it was very good as well. Unlike any fried rice you have ever had.
