Continuing my gastronomic tour of Little India in Jersey City landed me at Golconda Chimney. Golconda specializes in Indian fare of the Hyderabadi variety. Golconda appears unassuming from the outside, but the interior is welcoming, quiet and offers a slightly more formal dining experience. But, I however, stopped in for take out. I ordered samosa chaat, chicken biryani, naan and a lassi. The food came out quicker than I expected however didn't seem to suffer in quality. I really loved the food here. The flavors are complex and not muddled. The rice was fluffy and not oily. And the presentation and packaging done with care. I should warn those of you who may be more susceptible, the default spiciness level of the food seems to be in the medium-hot level so adjust you order accordingly. I would definitely eat here again and likely dine in given the ambiance of the restaurant. 9.5/10 read more

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant after it came highly recommended for it's biryani options. I will say this that the Dum Mutton Biryani was very tasty and had a very generous portion. The mirchi ka saalan was probably the most authentic I have tasted in the US. Very like what I have tasted in the past in Hyderabad. The malai chicken kebabs were succulent and tasty. Inspite of all these amazing plus points, I rated them low as there communication and app updates were very poor. What bothered me was that they changed status from preparing to wrapping up indicating that they were ready to hand it over to the delivery partner. The first person reached and waited over five minutes and left. Then I saw someone else was designated and the poor guy waited over 30 mins and was nice enough to stick around when he didn't have to. And the restaurant kept stalling and telling him it will be another 10 mins. My issue is not that they took long, I understand make good quality food takes time and I am fine with that. But then don't miscommunicate and make a delivery person wait around impacting his income. I hope they improve their operations and communicate accurately. Overall, inspite of the operational issue, the food was really good and I recommend it. Maybe it might be better if I visited and dined in. read more

I only ordered the Irani chai after looking at the Irani chai poster hanging outside the restaurant. It was the best chai I have had in a long time and I am a very picky chai drinker and I make very good chai. Irani chai is straight forward and simple: more milk that black tea with the milk cooked to sweetness. I would definitely hit the spot, especially in fall/ winter or summer. read more

While the food is good, the atmosphere is disgusting. Bathroom are the dirtiest imaginable, you can see hand marks over from 5 years ago. Waitress brought us dirty silverware, 3 waters for 4 people. When paying for the bill they insisted on cash because they want to save money. Finally, she insisted we bring the check book to her instead of her coming to get it. For an decently prices restaurant, disappointing experience. read more

For my first time in little India, I was blown away by how many restaurant options there were and got a little overwhelmed, so my friend and I went into one of the first sit down restaurants that we saw. I tried the Malai tomato soup as an appetizer and it was so delicious, literally the best tomato soup I've had in my life! My friend ordered the samosas and said that they were great. For my main, I asked for a fish curry suggestion and I let out server know that I was looking for something spicy. He said he'd ask what the kitchen had and I let him know that any of them would be alright. I thought he'd come back and let me know, but instead they chose for me and my I ended up with Andhra Fish Curry which was very good, full of flavor and spices, but not spicy which was the only disappointment. I was still happy to try something new that I wouldn't have normally ordered. The garlic naan was great, my friend enjoyed her chicken Tikka Masala, and I'd come back here in a heartbeat even if just to have the Malai tomato soup again. read more

Food (5/5): I go here frequently due to their partnership with Seated and being one of the few good restaurants that partner with them in the area. So whenever Seated has a promo, they're the go to since the other Seated restaurants in the area are terrible. Having tried many of their dishes on the menu, most are high quality, flavorful and delicious. My favorites are Chicken 65, Samosa Chaat, Butter Chicken, Moong Dal Halwa, and Goat Rogan Gosh. They also have delicious naan and Hakka noodles. Venue (5/5): Spacious venue with plenty of seating. Reasonably clean and comfortable. They host a buffet for lunch which tend to have good quality and options. Service (4/5): Usually helpful service who give water when I'm waiting for take out. They could be friendlier and sometimes the takeout takes a while or I have to call to confirm the order, but overall I haven't had any major issues with them. read more

This was a decent choice for Indian food. We had aloo papdi chaat, gobi manchurian, dal pancharatan, shahi paneer, vegetable biryani, and Irani chai. The highlights were definitely the chai and biryani for the tasty blends of spices in each. The prices were reasonable. read more

3.5 stars for friendly service and filling my long-standing craving for baingan bharta (roasted eggplant cooked with masala spices, onion, tomato, and yogurt). I first tried a couple of different places on Newark Avenue, but they didn't have baingan bharta. Fortunately, I then found Golconda Chimney. It was late on a weekend, so the buffet looked like a tornado had hit, with many earlier visitors clearly enjoying it. I guessed that the buffet items had been out for a while and instead opted to order a la carte from the menu. I started with a sweet corn soup (vegetarian) that was very tasty and filling, then proceeding to the object of my craving: baingan ka bharta. Golconda Chimney's version had excellent flavor and large eggplant chunks, with a moderate spice profile. Rice on the side was just fine. Bottled water was all I needed to fend off thirst and spices, maybe next time a mango lassi. Service was relaxed and friendly. It was late afternoon and the dining room was mostly empty. Atmosphere is minimalist, perhaps could use a bit more decor. The dining room was clean, but the bathrooms could use more cleaning and air freshener. All in all, Golconda Chimney is a nice place to eat heartily on the busy Newark Avenue India Square strip. read more

Little India in NJ is such a blessing for Indian food and culture lovers like myself. I stopped in Golconda because as I walked up the strip it was one of the more full restaurants. In fact some people were eating with their hands lol. I said to my self that more than one person scraping the plate with their hands can only be a good sign. It was. The food was similar to other good Indian restaurants I've tried but all the flavors were turned up a notch. I started off with the Golbi Manchurian a sort of general tso's cauliflower. It was good but because it was so heavily sauced it lost its crispiness almost immediately. Next up was the aloo chaat. A cold potato chickpea yogurt and tamarind dish that was really good. Its always a good change of pace from the spicy dishes. After that I had some tandoori chicken, shrimp biryani, and a chicken dish I cant really remember the name of. The tandoori was good but a bit over done for sure. The biryani was awesome. One of the best I have had. And the chicken dish was good as well. read more

I was looking for unique food that could be delivered as I was staying at a hotel in Newark and didn't want to leave. I found Golconda Chimney because it was a rainy day and not many places wanted to deliver, and I ordered via the Yelp app. Boy, did I luck out! I ordered the Lamb Hakka Noodles, a Mango Lassi, and the Kheema Naan and Chicken Stuffed Kulcha. Portions were large and delicious, with complex flavors and spices. I'd recommend everything I tried. read more

Really nice anda biryani! Rather than just boiled egg, they garnished the biryani with anda pakode, which was a delicious touch. We started with the hara bhalla kebab, which was also super tasty (unfortunately they were out of the veg seekh kebabs we were hoping for). First time trying katti dal (Haiderabadi style) and I will do so again. Only disappointment was the gobhi Manchurian which was just way too salty. Will return to try the other kebabs! So hard to find good veg kebabs in the city - as a vestige of Mughal cuisine, kebabs tend to be best in India's Muslim areas (the Pakistani restaurants typically don't make vegetarian kebabs since their clientele has no need). So Haiderabadi food is a good bet for veg kebabs and paneer tikka! read more

The best Hyderabadi cuisine I ever had in US, just one thing chicken 65 must be categorize in spicy level 1 2 3 as my American in laws couldn't enjoy it. But for me being hyderabadi it was the greatest chick65. Chai will remind you of nilofar cafe or taiyabaat cafe All 5 stars read more

Pros 1. The Ambience was Modern yet Woodsy feel. 2. Friendly services. 3. Tandoor Hachari (Baked Chicken was so Flavorful and the Chicken's gravy was Deeelicious. 4. Chicken Cashewnut was Savory. (Reminded me of Sesame Chicken and Lemon Pepper Chicken) 5. Mogalai chicken was Tender and Flavorful. 6. Veg Hakka Noodle was good. 7. Veggie Biryani was Flavorful with a light kick. 8. The Chicken Biryani was good and the Chicken was Tender. Cons 1. The Noodle Kheer Pudding was Displayed Hot. I prefer it Cold it's more enjoyable for me and cools down the mouth and stomach from all the selections. 2. The Naan was already made and placed along with the other buffet selections. It was should be made Fresh since it can easily get cold. read more

Nicely done (only about 4 months old). Just dined here as part of a Yelp event. Owners, Vasu and Raj, are Information Technology professional turned foodies who started this as they love to celebrate the variety that regional Indian cuisines have to offer. Mango lassi and the paneer dishes were delicious. Eggplant dish and the spinach cutlets were great - but be warned that they pack some heat. Naan flatbread and Rice Briyani - A+ there! The best of course was the lentil soup. Not a big dessert fan in general - my recommendation, don't leave room for dessert! Dishes were improvised enough that they were innovative but not that much that they border "fusion" genre. Give them a try - you will not be disappointed. read more

Overall a good place to have a good buffet with decent amount of choices. Chat options provided are a plus. Biriyani is also good along with the sides/appetizers provided. This is a mix of both North Indian and South Indian dishes. Drink provided is usually a tea along with either tang or lemonade which is a plus. Knocking down a couple of star as they were not able to provide the 20% discount for first time checkin via yelp, was informed that it was only for takeout. However it was not mentioned in the fine print. Have repeated this place multiple times but tried this checkin today for review and it felt weird to be given such reason. Apart from this experience this is a really good place for $16 buffet with multiple options buffet. read more

I've had rogan gosh many times in my life and this one has got to receive the award for the worst dish on this side of the earth! The sauce tasted like they used rotten tomatoes and barely any meet, all fat and bones, as if they showed no effort to making a good quality dish! Funny thing is that they charge so much for something so disgusting! Do they even have some sort of quality control? Does the owner from time to time try the dishes his cooks cook and send out? You can see from the picture, since goat is not white meat, all the white parts are either bones or fat, disgusting!! read more

I came in at noon on a sweltering Sunday and was VERY excited to get my grub on! Even thought it super hot outside, my craving for spicy food was relentless. Considering there are so many other Indian restaurants in the area, I was happy to see that this place was picking up lunch traffic pretty rapidly. I never order Indian buffet, because Indochinese dishes are usually not a part of the variety of offerings (and Indochinese is my FAV). This is the one restaurant that does have this type of food as a part of their buffet, and it was a very welcoming surprise! All my favorite foods were included such as chicken 65, Hakka noodles, mixed veg pakora, biryani, paneer, and much more. The dishes I tried were incredibly tasty and spiced to perfection (definitely a rarity for buffet-style food!). My mouth is watering while I'm writing this review! I also tried some additional items off the menu - paneer 65, gobi Manchurian, and chicken w/ oyster sauce. They were simply amazing. Gobi Manchurian is a dish that is easy to screw up, because it's difficult to get the sauce right and the cauliflower can turn into a mushy hot mess. This wasn't the case here. The Manchurian was firm, fresh, and flavorful. :) To cool off my tastebuds, I ordered the Gulab Jamun and Qurbani Ka Meeta. These dishes were super sweet, but they complemented and balanced my meal well. Lastly, I was very impressed by the attentive service and spacious seating. The waiters pretty much read my mind, and I didn't even have to ask for water refills! All in all, I would 100 percent recommend this restaurant to all the Indochinese and spice lovers out there. My only qualm is lack of parking, but this is Jersey City, so it's totally expected. P.S. If you're coming with kids, there are several child friendly dishes available such as chicken tenders, fries, ice cream, etc. read more

I love Indian food, but I never know what to order. Golconda Chimney created a wonderful Yelp Elite event that allowed us to taste a wide variety of dishes. I enjoyed the opportunity to taste some of their select dishes. Mango Lassi - thick and creamy, excellent! I had the Dal Shorba soup to start - I enjoyed it. Favorite appetizers: Chicken Lollipop - crunchy and tender; Chicken 65 - wonderfully flavorful1`. The Hara Bhara Tikka wasn't much to look at, but was delicious. Favorite Main Courses: We were served numerous dishes, and they were all very good. Probably none that I would say stood out above the others. an interesting note on the Chicken Hakka Noodles - I never had noodles before at an Indian restaurant - it tasted like noodles you would get from a Chinese restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. For dessert, I really liked Kaddu Ka Kheer. I generally don't like desserts at Indian restaurants, but this one was a nice blend of flavors (pumpkin, milk, rice, suar and coconut powder) in a beautiful presentation. The Khubani Ka Meetha - boiled apricots - were also very good. The service was friendly and we had a wonderful time. The owners are clearly striving to move up the perceptions of the restaurant and they are well deserving of a 4 star rating. I love their desire to show what they can do. One reviewer suggested cutting back menu options, which makes sense to me - to allow the chefs to focus more on perfecting a more limited set of dishes. Another issue I noticed on prior reviews is that there seems to be problems with the delivery service. Consider cutting back on delivery service until they can staff up properly- as this seems to be the source of some complaints. Based on the food alone - your overall rating should and would be a lot more positive - and attract many more customers to your restaurant. read more

I'm not an indian food expert and Golconda is right in the heart of little India, so I'm sure everyone has their own favorite. The decor is plain but elegant enough - lots of straight lines and white everywhere. Service was very friendly and fast with good recommendations if you weren't sure what to order. On my visit we got to try several dishes for our group of four. We enjoyed our soups (lentil, chicken), appetizers (kabob mix was top notch), naan, and mains (goat curry, tikka misala, hakka noodles). If you're making your first forays into indian cuisin, Golconda is a great place to start. read more

I came here with a bunch of fellow Yelpers for a delicious three course meal. Parking is this area its bit tricky but after going around a few times I finally found a spot a block away. I started with Dal Shorbha which was a light broth lentil soup which was full of flavor. I'm not a huge lentil lover but I really love all the flavors. I then went with the chicken 65 which was fried chicken in a yogurt and lemon marinate topped with cashews. This chicken was delicious and boy it was full of flavor with a small hint of heat. Now as my entrée I went with chicken tikka masala, I know this is so basic and maybe boring for most when it comes to Indian food but I love this dish :) I was glad I ordered because it didn't disappoint. They served with garlic naam and rice. Everything was really good and the service was excellent. They made sure we had everything we needed. No Indian meal can be complete without some mango lassi. I really love the taste and how it balances all of the heat from the dishes. read more

I have been to this restaurant as well as ordered online. The food here is great. Service not so much. We were a group of four and went to this place on busy Sunday for dinner. First, nobody took the order after giving the menu for 10 minutes or so. Next, we were served one of the entrees first and then came the appetizer which is weird. These were not it, the person who took our order forgot to input one of the dish, and we had to wait for it to get prepared. However, she came and apologized later. Service needs improvement and hence the three stars. With all that said, the food is fantastic! I have had their Paneer tikka, Chicken 65, Egg noodles, Paneer Tikka Masala, and Veg Kolhapuri. All of them tasted amazing. I recommend this place, and I would try their other dishes in future. read more

I came home tired last night from work and wanted to get some good food to celebrate recent work success I had been seeing. I placed the order on seamless at 5:30 and waited the typical 70 minutes the delivery indicated it would arrive in. After about 80 minutes I call the restaurant and a younger lady answered. I tried to explain that the order is late and she said do you realize it takes 70 minutes to get to you. So I asked her if she realized the order was 10 minutes late? Like whats with the attitude. The food came in over 22 minutes late without an apology. I wrote specific directions for where to deliver the food and the delivery driver ends up on the other side of the building. Ignoring clearly marked signs for each entrance he wasted another 5 minutes. Then I tasted the food. I ordered a goat biryani and have had this many times before with GC. I kid you not the rice was old and the goat tasted like rubber it was undercooked. I called the restaurant and a gentleman answered who had a language barrier. He assured me he would call me back in 30 minutes. I called back in an hour and my calls went straight to voicemail. I called seamless and they tried as well. Same thing! Seamless was nice enough to offer me a $10 coupon but that is something this restaurant should own up to doing. I have ordered here in the past but after wasting 3 hours of my night when I wanted to simply relax and eat a nice meal I will NEVER order from here again. I actually was so disturbed by their behavior that I had to write a review for the first time in my life. I hope the restaurant reads this and realizes great customers will never order from them again. read more

I've only ever eaten the weekend buffet at Golconda Chimney but I've always been very happy with it. The room is big, bright and modern, it's a pleasant space to eat in. It's always been a buffet when I've been here but I have found the ladies serving to be very cheerful, and attentive with water/clearing tables/dealing with checks etc. There's a large array of food on offer, I'd conservatively estimate twenty or so dishes with chicken, meat, fish and plenty of vegetarian options. All the usual Indian restaurant dishes are available (Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Soups, Naan, Korma, Spinach and Paneer etc etc) along with some more unusual ones. The food is varied and delicious, I particularly recommend Chicken 65. There is always plenty of food to choose from as the platters are constantly being refilled. Prices are very reasonable. The only thing that I find a bit odd here is that the cutlery is disposable plastic - the sort of thing you would use for a picnic or get with takeout - other than that its a great spot for a spicy weekend brunch. read more

One of the better tasting Indian buffets I've had in a long time. I went with a couple friends around the time they opened.

Since Hyderabadi cuisine is so prevalent in Little India, it took me some time to build up the excitement to try out Golconda Chimney. Instead of taking baby steps and trying out one or two dishes, I took the plunge and went for a lunch buffet on a weekday. To be honest, it far exceeded my expectations. Though the food was not limited to Hyderabadi cuisine, the buffet did justice to even the non Hyderabadi items like the ubiquitous chicken tikka masala.The other dishes that really stood out were the coconut chicken,the chicken 65 and the chicken biryani. All of these were spectacular! The chicken 65 was my favorite, its tangy, spicy flavours serving as a perfect appetizer for the rest of the meal. I have ordered this innumerable times afterwards and the taste has always been consistent. Another dish that is unique here is the Chennai chicken curry. It is an onion and tomato based gravy which is somehow superior to all the usual curries based on the same sauce. The consistency varies with this one quite a bit. I have ordered it 6-7 times and the taste has been different from the initial one at least three times.Since all three variations tasted pretty good, this is my current favorite dish from the extensive menu. Other items I have sampled here which were good were the vegetable pakora, the Golconda chicken dum biryani and the dry chilli chicken. The portion sizes were huge and easily lasted me for a couple of meals. One thing that stood out for me the most was that there was an adequate amount of white meat used in the chicken dishes. I hate eating out at other Indian places which use only dark meat. It's no wonder that Golconda Chimney is gaining quite a following in spite of the high competition in the area for a similar type of cuisine.This is definitely a spot worth checking out. read more

I'm a little bit conflicted on how to rate this place. Generally speaking, the food is good and the staff is enthusiastic and friendly. But the food is also inconsistent and I think that stems for the fact that there are too many menu options. I came here for a Yelp event and got to sample a lot of different dishes. There were some that I absolutely loved and some that I didn't care for at all. The inconsistencies that I mentioned earlier are things such as levels of salt, spiciness, and just overall dish quality. The owner mentioned that they have 150+ menu items. From what I can see, the problems with food quality are definitely related to too much variety. The restaurant has the potential to be really great by focusing on their strengths. There's absolutely no reason for that many menu items and I'm sure it's also expensive from a cost perspective for them to offer that much variety. Here are some of my favorite items: - Drinks: Mango Lassi: amazing, must have here - Soups: Dal Shorba (vegetarian soup): creamy and flavorful - Appetizers: Chicken 65, Chicken Lollipop, and Paneer Pakora - Main Course: Baingan Ka Bharta - Dessert: Kheer read more

This was my first experience with Indian food, and it was a pretty good one! I don't have enough experience with Indian food to judge Golconda Chimney entirely accurately or compare it to anything, but I thought it was really good. Everything we tried had lots of flavor and spices. What we had: Naan bread with garlic- these tasted like garlic knots except way way better. Loved this. Samosa chat- these were fried savory pastries filled with veggies and were really fluffy and yummy. Mango Lassi-basically a thin mango smoothies. Super tasty and good for washing down spices. Hariyali chicken kebab-this was my favorite item that we ordered. This dish wasn't spicy (good for me), and the chicken was super tender and juicy. Bhagara bhaingan- eggplant dish that had lots of spice Goat masala- on the menu it doesn't mention that there are bones in this dish. It was hard to find pieces of meat that didn't have bone with it so I didn't enjoy this one as much. Paneer biryani- be careful if you order this because the portion is MASSIVE. The rice is really tasty, but it had to have weighed at least 3 pounds in total. The presentation of everything was very nicely done. The interior is nice and spacious and the staff is pretty friendly. I would also say the prices are really fair for the amount of food you get. read more

I was fortunate enough to dine here last night as part of an Elite yelp event, I'm really glad that I signed up for this event! The restaurant is located on Newark ave in Jersey City, in a predominantly Indian area, which of course adds to the authenticity of the restaurant itself. I was definitely glad that I skipped lunch that day because I left this event absolutely stuffed. The spread that was prepared was extremely large and overly generous. There were a ton of options and everything I had was really delicious. I really enjoyed the appetizer selection, which included several chicken dishes, veg dishes and soups. The chicken soup "Chicken Manchow" was very spicy and delicious, I really enjoyed it, and definitely wasn't used to having soup from Indian restaurants. As for apps, the highlight for me was the Chicken 65 and Chicken lollipops, both were super delicious and left me super stuffed. For the dinner selection, I enjoyed the Shahi Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala and the the Biryani, I was too stuffed to try the desserts. The owners were very nice, and overall it was a great experience. I would definitely return for a great dinner with friendly service in Jersey City. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more
