FOOD
Much was expected of this new entrant, but the food is pretty standard and is on par with others of its genre.
We chose Karivepaku Kodi Vepudu (chicken pieces cooked in curry-leaf paste) and Jeedi Pappu Mamsam Vepudu (mutton nuggets panfried with cashewnuts). Both were well-made, but the seasoning was not particularly exciting.On the day we went, they didn't have the sig nature Ulavucharu (horse gram soup), though we enjoyed a piquant raw Mudda Pappu Rasam. A seafood version of the Andhra thali was served dhrathali was served with Royala Iguru (prawns) and Chepala Pulusu (fish), two vegetables, ragisangati, dal, rasam, rice and a sweet payasam. The prawns were fresh, the fish tangy and the ragi balls were succulent and easy to eat -perhaps the best we have come across. Natu Kodi Pulao, made with country chicken, was flavourful and not too spicy. We appreciate the management's call to not wrongly term it a biryani. The rest of the dishes were ordinary and the payasam was average, though there is not much to be expected from this humble sweet.
SERVICE
The service was above par. Our server was quick to notice our reactions to the spice levels and brought us glasses of complimentary buttermilk. We will come back for more.
PLUS AND MINUS
Excellent service by well-trained staff is a big plus. The thalis are available only during the day.
