It’s always fun to try something different, especially new restaurants. Godavari is a South Indian restaurant that opened up in East Hartford last summer, and it's already earning positive reviews for its expansive buffet. Visit for the lunch buffet, which is offered every day, even weekends.
During the week stop by between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and weekends between noon and 3:30 p.m. to give it a taste for less than $15. The buffet offers a perfect balance of dishes for both vegetarians and meat-lovers, with typically just under 20 to choose from. Their specialties are the dosas and biryani. The biryani options range from mutton to shrimp, so try a little bit of each one to compare the flavors. Their creamy mango lassi is the perfect accompaniment to a meal.
You can also order a la cart or take-out if you already have a favorite Indian dish.
