Sometimes you need to eat at a place like Golkonda Chimney to truly appreciate the restaurants which are actually good. My brother and I had no choice...it was a weekend..the cook was on leave and we just wanted to order something different for dinner - and Golkonda Chimney was near enough to deliver. Actually, the only reason why I think this joint is doing so well is because of it's location - not many Indian cuisine restaurants in and around Whitefield. After experiencing the food...I would suggest Adaa (near Marathalli bridge) or the Dhaba over this for people staying in the area.
We ordered our favorites - Dal Makhani, Butter Chicken and the breads (Naan, Roti). The Dal was just okay...nothing exceptional and it was grey in colour instead of having a reddish tint..a big turn off! Don't get me started on the Butter Chicken (BC for future posts)...it pains me to see a respected restaurant calling a completely different dish by that name. Who puts oodles of Ginger shreds, spoonfuls of red chilli and a dryish gravy with lots of semi cooked onions and capsicum in BUTTER CHICKEN!?!
The only positive point I found was that the place offers Roti's made of wheat..something for the health freaks out there. Apart from that...the taste and quantity served does not justify the high priced menu. Of course, there might be some items worth trying...but I get a little sentimental about BC and would not hesitate to form my opinion on the entire menu based on this one awesome dish.
