Chicken Majestic – An Andhra Classic Comes to Newark Avenue

Straight from the heart of Telugu-speaking regions, Chicken Majestic has long been a favorite for its tangy, spicy, and yogurt-based flavor profile.

We bring this legendary dish to life with strips of marinated chicken, stir-fried with green chilies, curry leaves, and creamy yogurt — creating a zesty, flavorful explosion in every bite. Whether you’re discovering it for the first time or reliving nostalgic flavors from home, Golconda Chimney’s Chicken Majestic is a must-try on your next visit.

Kothimeera Chicken – Herbal, Tangy, and Totally Unique

Fragrant, vibrant, and packed with freshness, Kothimeera Chicken is our homage to coriander lovers. This dish originated in home kitchens across Telangana, where fresh coriander (aka kothimeera) is used not just as garnish but as the star of the show.

At Golconda Chimney, we’ve recreated this gem using tender chicken sautéed in a vibrant blend of coriander, green chilies, and traditional spices. The result is an appetizer that’s aromatic, tangy, and perfect for a refreshing start to your South Indian feast.
