Godavari Nashville

We sat outside on a warm spring day. The setting was really nice. Then the food started coming and it escalated into an even nicer experience with all of the great aromas. Everything was great. It’s kind of embarrassing, but even the mild was a little spicy for me. Still tasted great and it was only an issue for the first couple of bites. The portions were ridiculous. My pictures are from after we ate, I forgot to get before pictures because we were too eager to get at it. Driving tip: the Google street view is at the back of the building. When you’re at that spot at the end of the shopping center in the pictures, the entrance and parking are just around the corner.

So far I have been horridly disappointed by Indian food in the US. Usually Indian cuisine is dumbed down and made bland and insipid for the Caucasian palette. BUT NOT HERE! My first bites into the pepper lamb brought me back to the years of my PhD in Hyderabad. Indeed, when beads if sweat began to form on my forehead and neck, I knew I had to call the waiter and insist that he convey my compliments to the chef. The bread was perfectly soft. The gongura mutton was nostalgic! And the best part? We asked for MEDIUM spice. This restaurant gets my seal of approval for authenticity! Keep up the standards good folk!

Tried couple of biriyanis when I visited Nashville, Staff was not that friendly, Boneless chicken biriyani was good, Chicken dum biriyani was just ok, Goat biriyani felt not good.. There was lot of flavor less onions in the biriyani, looked like the ready made battered fried onions..over all less spices and taste. Easy to navigate and find this place. Lot of parking space, open for dine in. Quick service and clean inside. Moderately priced and ok quantity food.

This spot was good! It is small and cozy inside. We tried the lentil crackers that were brought out and they were too spicy (for us). Mixing both sauces was a better option to tame the spice. Next, we had the "Apollo Fish", which is what photo we shared. The taste was really good! It did have some spice to it too. For our meal, we customized Lamb Korma and one of us had Goat Chettinad. Both dishes come with fragrant basmati rice. The taste was good and flavorful, yet spicy (for us). Just know/be mindful that with this type of cuisine, spice is expected! The good thing is that all the food was flavorful. The people were nice as possible too.

Amaravati buffet is the best in town ! Unfortunately when Covid hit all buffet’s had to be shutdown . Yet the great friendly staff and management team came up with a great strategy — sampler platter !! This platter has all of your favorite + plus hot fresh naan brought to your table !!! There is no other place better for lunch or dinner then Amaravati!!!
