The Golconda Bowl : Andhra
Hauz Khas Village
The
Golconda Bowl: Stingy service, over priced, excellent service…
You
feel you deserve excellent fare only for finding the place after completing a
search in the by (and back) lanes of Hauz Khas village! As for the food, to put
it simply the Biryani is over rated, the rotis too thick and overall the place
is over priced. Wouldn’t have minded the prices, actually, had the helpings not
been so miserly.
Having said that I will probably be going back very soon for
the Gosht Haleem, which is simply outstanding, though a little too greasy (but
worth visiting the restaurant only to have this). Unfortunately, of the other 5
dishes (Nalli Nihari, Kacchey Gosht Ki Biryani, Subz Chowgra, Maki 65, subz
biryani) we ordered last time, only one is worth recommending – the chowgra
(mixed veg) - it has a different, very unique flavour.
All in all, an OK place
for a dinner, but really wish they were not so stingy with the portions of meat
in their curries and biryani (4-5 small pieces), even the Haleem is a tiny
helping; in case of sharing be prepared for dirty looks from your fellow
diners!
