It starts with roti.

Godamba roti is a hand-stretched flatbread, griddled fresh. We wrap it burrito-style, chop it into kottu, and serve it alongside slow-simmered curries.

Rice & curry is a spread.

One plate, many little things: basmati rice, lentil daal, coconut-kissed greens, and your choice of curry — served the authentic way, on a banana leaf.

You pick the heat.

Every dish is made to order, from Texas-mild to island-hot. Halal chicken and vegetarian options are always on hand — just ask.
