Really good biryani and chicken!! We ordered the chicken 65 and Golconda Chicken Dum Biryani! (Photos attached - couldn't resist taking a bite before clicking the picture). Portion size is worth the cost!! So go for it! As a Hyderabadi, I ABSOLUTELY APPROVE!! Well done chef! Incredibly sweet service and hospitality!

Absolutely loved the Chef Special Chicken Biryani at Golconda Chimney! The flavors were spot on – rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced without being too heavy. The chicken was juicy and cooked just right, blending beautifully with the long-grain basmati rice. It really had that authentic Hyderabadi touch. The portion size was generous too, making it totally worth the price. If you’re a biryani lover, this is one dish you must try. Highly recommended!

We came here as a group of 6 and everything was SO good! Big portions, full of flavor, and the service was great too.We started with Karam Dosa and Keema Dosa—both were crispy and HUGE, and came with 3 chutneys sambar. Super tasty and fresh. We also shared the Lamb Biryani and Chef’s Special Chicken Biryani—both were super flavorful and cooked just right. Lamb was soft and the chicken had a nice spice.The Butter Chicken was creamy and rich, and their Garlic Naan was soft and buttery—perfect with the curry. To finish, we had Irani Chai—so good! Warm, strong, and slightly sweet. Just perfect after a big meal.The vibe inside was chill and welcoming. Staff were friendly and helped us pick a few things from the menu too.everything tasted great, portions were big, and the food came out fast. Definitely recommend Golconda Chimney and we’ll be back soon!

Went there for dinner on a Friday night at around 630pm and immediately got a seat. The service staff were all very friendly and approachable. We ordered the mango lassi, chef’s special goat biryani, chole poori, garlic naan, and butter chicken. The food came really quickly and the portions were HUGE. Everything was well seasoned and we could taste the richness of the spices. Will totally come back again when we’re in the area !

Had a really good dinner at Golconda Chimney. The food was fresh, super tasty, and felt like real Indian home food. We started with the Karam Idli – soft, a bit spicy, and came with some really good chutneys. The Pesarattu was crispy and light, and the sambar on the side hit the spot. We also got the 555 Chicken – so flavorful and crispy, definitely one of the best dishes we had. For mains, we had Bagara Rice with Goat Curry. The goat was tender and the curry had such good flavor. The bagara rice was just perfect with it. Tried the Chole Bature too – the bature was huge and fluffy, and the chole was warm and comforting. Ended the meal with their Irani Chai – strong and really flavorful. It was the perfect finish. Would definitely recommend this place.
