Godavari To Open Its Newest Location In Naperville

NAPERVILLE, IL — Godavari, a renowned South Indian restaurant with dining spots in Chicago and Long Island, is bringing its popular dosas and Hyderabadi biryani to Naperville. The restaurant is set to open on June 29 at 1568 West Ogden Avenue, in the same plaza as Patel Brothers and Marhaba Foods.

The menu at Godavari draws heavily from South Indian cooking traditions, specifically from Hyderabad. In a word, the menu is extensive. Once you get through the wide variety of tempting vegetarian and non-vegetarian items, you encounter Godavari's selection of dosa, one of their specialties.

More than two dozen dosas are available at Godavari. These thin crepes can come stuffed with potatoes, chutney, spinach, and even Maggi noodles.

Godavari features a selection of entrees for both meat-eaters and vegetarians that offers go-to items like channa masala and chicken vindaloo, in addition to dishes inspired by coastal cuisine. Biryani options run the gamut from vegetarian or chicken dum biryani to Hyderabadi mutton dum biryani, which is billed as the "king of all biryanis."

Godavari will also offer a banquet area with close to 200 seats for events and gatherings.
