    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Joseph Z.

    Food is amazing. Tap water tastes great!!! Service is attentive. Ambiance is modern casual and quiet. I enjoyed dinner and will be back.

    Godavari specializes in South Indian cuisine and has a variety of special dishes. I was most excited to try their 70mm dosa which I had seen on social media. The dosa was almost as large as the table and could definitely feed at least hungry 3 people easily. The only thing I would say is that it is on the thicker side and not the usually thin crispy dosas you get. The chutneys didn't have much flavor and could've had a bit more spice considering the rest of the food we ordered was pretty spicy. The sambar was good. We also got the andhra mutton curry and Hyderabad dumplings biryani. Both were spicy, the good kind, and full of flavor. When we visited, the restaurant was pretty busy for a weekday lunch and it seemed like they were short staffed as it took a very long time to place our order and barely any staff were checking in on the tables. We received our drinks after the appetizers were delivered. Also the tables were not set up with plates, napkins and utensils. We had to flag a server down for them and when they were brought to the table, it was just left in a stack instead of being passed around. It was the same with asking for a water refill, the waiter left the entire jug of water at our table instead of refilling the glasses. It took a long time to flag down waiters and then another wait for them to bring items that were missing.

    Ordered the Paper Masala Dosa! It was 3 feet long - the wife and I managed to polish off a foot each and brought home the remaining foot. The Sambar was delicious! The Chicken 65 was finger licking good. The Godavari Paneer Pakoda checked off the vegetarian protein category. Had to bring home the Moongdal Halwa because we were stuffed to the gills!

    Came here after a hike with two friends. It's very new and spacious. I have been to A2B multiple times but they only have vegetarian South Indian food. This place has non vegetarian options. We got the cauliflower appetizer and it's quite flavorful and tasty. The texture reminds me of fried chicken. The the fish curry and my friends lamb curry and dosa are also quite good. The only issue is the medium spice level is too high for us. I would recommend going with mild if it's your first time and up it later. The service was attentive and fast. They asked for the spice level but didn't specify the spice level applied to all dishes so we all ended up having too spicy of a meal

    Dear Godavari - It looks like you are having a bad day. When your chutneys are more watery than mine and you have forgotten tadka, one wonders what the world is coming to. The mysore bonda was super fried outside and undercooked inside. Why would you do this to me? If you think I'm making it up please see the photo attached.

    Worst service ever. They need to go back to hotel management training. The server dropped sizzling hot chicken appetizer right onto my sister's lap. Then the server smirked and said a sorry barely audible and didn't even offer tissues. My sister's finger was burned and she was in pain. She expressed her pain to another server who was a girl. Server again said quick sorry and smiled again and ran off . This girl left exactly 4 tissues on the table. The chicken was all over the floor and my sister's seat. Nobody came to clean my sister's seat nor the floor. My sister's outfit was ruined it was stained from head to toe in chicken masala. As my sister went to bathroom, I sat there five minutes calling for someone to clean the floor of chicken and the table. All our orders came except for my niece and my cousin's briyani. Briyani never came. My niece didn't eat any of the other food since she said she will get full and not have space for her briyani. I am not joking we waited 30 minutes and then flagged down that same girl server and said our briyani hasn't come. She nonchalantly said it's being prepared. They close at 10:30 pm and still no briyani after 1 hr of waiting time and now it's 10:00 pm. We flag another server and ask where is the briyani? He immediately addresses issue to the girl who doesn't care about her job. She comes and asks do you want the briyani still? My niece has not ate anything of course we want briyani we ordered one hour ago. She asks do you want to pack it ? I said again no my niece has not eaten any food. Finally we see our briyani. Now the server same girl comes and is asking my brother to pay since they are closing. She stands like a guard waiting. She is the worst waiter. Most people would make small talk to not make this awkward but not her. She keeps saying they are closing. Is it our fault that what we ordered 1 hour ago was not given to our table? No apologies and no shame. My cousin who is lawyer suggested suing them since my sister's finger was burned. I understand your a restaurant and it's busy but you need to address issues like cleaning the floor and this girl waiter is an issue. We told her our briyani has not come but she didn't care to see where it is . She needs to be trained to interact with customers. The food appetizers were 5 stars but curries all had similar taste so 3 stars . The briyani was ok but my niece said it was sour. But it's a real shame since service is so bad we would not come back .

    My first time-- I've been waiting for this one after always coming at inopportune times when…read morethere's too long of a line. Honestly, after having this now, I would have waited in all of those lines. Texture-- great. Firm, but still soft enough to scoop and eat without chew. Vanilla flavor was amazing and chocolate too. I usually establish a baseline on those flavors first-- and Bent Spoon knocked it out of the park. Staff here are pretty helpful despite the limited space here in the store. They were quick to serve samples, and get me helped. Not a lot of space in the store itself to linger, although there are some green spaces and benches across the street. If you'd like to eat it indoors you'll probably find yourself fighting others trying to do the same. Otherwise, plan on crowds during any evening, and all weekend. If you find a line, send one representative to wait, go walk around the area or the Princeton campus, and then come back. It's well worth the wait.

I did try a few samples, but most of them aren't exactly for me. I also wanted a flavor that would complement well with the black sesame. That flavor ended up being earl grey. It was perfect. They balance each other well. My coworker recommended this place. He did warn me that the line is long, but it moves fast! He was right. I do have to say I LOVE their paper cone shape for the ice cream. It's smart. It holds the ice cream. It prevents us from accidentally pushing the top scoop off the cone.

The food met my expectations as I got the layered mango crepe and the chicken Santa Fe rolls. The mango crepes were light and exactly what I expected. The chicken rolls were packed in flavor but the chicken was almost no where to be found. I would recommend this place.

Normally we're supposed to order using the QR code on the table and we would select from a pre-set list, but because we had such a complicated order, we needed to order in person and the waitress was super patient with us. We were also able to order teas we normally wouldn't have been able to using the QR code (not all the teas in the menu are available for selection for afternoon tea for some reason). Sandwiches were all delicious, scone was very nice as well. I wasn't a huge fan of their crepe cakes or macarons - very sweet without being able to tell what the flavors were. Mango smoothie and mini chocolate croissant were good though. Decor inside was simple but looks elegant, nice ambiance and appropriate for tea time!

Overall pleasant. I actually preferred the chocolate one, though- the chocolate filling was dark and rich, and there was a good amount of it inside the croissant. The croissant dough had layers, although it seems like they had somewhat collapsed- it might be because I ate them some time after they had been baked, but unsure. It did not feel condensed or too chewy, though. I wasn't the one who ordered them, so can't speak much about the service. I have passed by the storefront before, and it looks small, more of a takeout vibe than a sit down and chat cafe.

Your nose smells all those freshly baked goods. Your eyes dance with delight as you see brownies, cookies, and drinks (psst, they serve more than just milk). Ohhhh the smells of all that wonderful goodness! You can hear the patron's joy as they bite into their edibles. Finally, the taste as you bite into your cookie or brownie. After our senses finally calmed down, Hubby and I got down to business. After purchasing and sharing several cookies and brownies between us, we both favored their original brownies the most. It was not overly sweet and tasted like Devil's Food cake but in a brownie, instead. Delectable! Each cookie is $2.75 but if you purchase 12 cookies, you save $3 and pay $30. The Big Brownie is $4.50 and worth every penny!
