We, a party of 12, went there to celebrate the birthday of a friend. We did not have to wait too long to get our food. We ordered a couple of appetizers, some breads, a couple of biriyanis, 7-8 entries, and 2 desserts. All dishes were quite tasty. Some dishes were too creamy, but that is something you expect from all Indian restaurants. The service was good as well. We will definitely go back there.

Its My first time visiting Godavari Princeton, hoping to eat Roomali Roti which was unavailable we need to call them to check for the availability!!
We ordered Raju Gari kodi vepudu in which salt is missing and taste is ok ok…Gongura Kodi khebab is good tangy to taste. On Entrees we ordered Kurnool Kodi and Telangana kodi kurma with garlic naan and butter naan. Both curries are on little sweeter side because of lot of onions in the gravy, both are ok ok.
Over all there is some missing flavor in every dish!!

Food here is delicious, full of flavors and have a wide variety of indian platters. They have good vegetarian options as well. Spice level is usually high. So, ask for ‘mild’ or ‘medium’. They have an area for events and catering which can accomodate upto 40 folks. The catering team is helpful and responsive.

was my first time visiting Godavari, and unfortunately, it was not a pleasant dining experience for me.
I arrived around 6:50 PM and was craving something tasty and satisfying. I started by ordering a full Tandoori Chicken Kebab, specifically requesting it to be cooked well-done. After about 25 minutes, the dish was served, but it was not well-done. It looked good, but the taste and texture were underwhelming and not fully cooked to my liking.
Trying to give it another chance, I asked the server for a better recommendation. He suggested the Afghani Chicken Kebab, which I ordered. After another 20–25 minutes (around 7:40–7:50 PM), that dish came out too—and again, not cooked enough. I had to send it back because I couldn’t eat it.
By then, I was hungry and frustrated, so I asked if they had a good biryani. The server recommended the Mutton Dum Biryani. I didn’t expect much at this point, but I still hoped at least the biryani would be decent. It was served around 8 PM. Unfortunately, it was not a dum biryani at all—just colored rice with mutton pieces, lacking the aroma and flavor of real dum cooking.
Meanwhile, the Afghani chicken was finally brought back after 5–10 more minutes—but by then, the experience had already left a bad taste in my mouth.
In total, all three dishes—Tandoori Chicken, Afghani Chicken, and Mutton Biryani—were disappointing. The flavors, textures, and cooking quality were not up to the mark, especially considering the high price.
The only good thing I can say is that the ambience and seating were nice. It’s a clean, well-decorated place for a family outing. But if you’re a true food lover, I would honestly not recommend it. My stomach was not happy, and I won’t be returning.

Visited this Godavari after mixed experiences in Minnesota.
The ambience was excellent with optimal lighting and music, and the restaurant was clean and well-staffed.
What we ordered:
Bamma Gari” Rasam:A flavorful, spicy, and slightly sour soup. Enjoyed it.
Gongura Vankaya Koora (Eggplant Special): Mediocre taste; lacked depth. Garlic naan was good.
Old City Veg Dum Biryani: Disappointing. Bland compared to other dum biryanis. Salan lacked flavor.
Mini Idlis with Ghee:
Large portion but average taste. Chutneys and sambhar were underwhelming. Price was not reasonable.
While the service and interior were commendable, the food fell short of expectations. Wouldn’t return unless seeking milder South Indian flavors.

I went in for a quick appetizer for a drive back.. it was perfect.. I needed up getting spicy version.. even though it seemed like 6/10 spice wise.. but chilies fried with chicken have good balance of heat Whr you chew into them..

The food is really good, with each dish prepared carefully and full of flavor. The quality of ingredients is evident, and everything tastes fresh and well-balanced. Along with the food, the way customers are greeted makes the experience even better. The staff is polite, welcoming, and attentive, which creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere from the moment you walk in. This combination of delicious food and excellent customer service makes the place enjoyable and memorable, leaving customers satisfied and happy to return again.

Ordered chintachiguru mutton pulav for mains tawa fish and cashew chicken for appetisers. Pulav and fish were too good. In Chicken, salt was less, but when we told the staff they took and did it again and came out good. Service is good, staff recommended the pulav and is really good. Went on a busy Saturday afternoon but still food arrived quick and hot.

Absolutely delicious food and great service!
We tried Godavari Princeton for the first time about a week ago and loved it so much that we came back again this week — and it was just as amazing! Everything we ordered was full of flavor — the Maharaja Chicken Fried Rice (Szechwan style), Chicken Tikka Masala, Chitoor Chinese Noodles, and Kurnool Kodi Kura were all outstanding. Even the soups and fries were spot on.
You can really taste the freshness and care they put into their dishes. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s now officially our go-to Indian restaurant in the area. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food in Princeton!

Me and my wife visited this place together and tried Chanti Gadi Kodi Pulav, Chicken 65, Chicken Tandoori, and South Indian tiffin Rava Dosa. Honestly, everything tasted amazing — full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We both really enjoyed every dish. The food quality and taste were excellent, and the overall experience was very pleasant. Definitely one of the best places — we’ll be coming back again for sure!
