" Great food, fantastic service! I was really impressed by how flavorful the dishes were. My Butter Chicken was creamy and tasted heavenly with their naan, while my partner tried the Lamb Biryani and was equally satisfied. The only downside is the atmosphere felt a bit relaxed; a livelier vibe would enhance the experience. Still, Golkonda is a solid choice for authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very excited to try Golkonda as I've heard so much about it! However, my experience was a bit mixed. The biryani was tasty, but ordering felt a bit confusing, and I didn't receive what I thought I'd ordered. The staff was nice, but some more training on menu items would help avoid confusion. Overall, I might try again but with more caution next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has become my go-to for Indian food in the Bay Area! Every dish I've had here felt like home-cooked Indian cuisine. The flavors are bold, but not overwhelming. My recent favorite is the chicken tikka masala. Staff here are cordial and offer great suggestions on the menu. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! I was not expecting such authentic flavors in a modestly priced setting. The Gongura Chicken was a standout. The service staff took excellent care of us. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves Indian food—or just great food in general. A relaxed environment to share a meal with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" To be honest, I’m not overly impressed with the food. While I did enjoy the service and ambiance, the Biryani I had was not quite what I expected. A little bland and not enough spice; I had to ask for some chutney to make it flavorful. I would be willing to try a different dish next time, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" We heard plenty of good things about Golkonda, and it did not disappoint! The Biryani was absolutely delicious! The staff worked so hard and were very attentive. However, we found it slightly overpriced for portions compared to other places we have tried. Still, the quality of food is what we came for, and it was incredible! " (*Curated Review*)

" Golkonda fulfills the craving for authentic Indian cuisine brilliantly! I had the Vijawada chicken biryani, and it was just perfect. The spices used reflect their Indian roots. However, the restaurant lacked a lively atmosphere, which would have added to the dining experience. Regardless, I'm excited to go back and try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
