The Nalli Gosht biryani here is the real deal, fragrant, fall-off-the-bone and worth every bit of the drive to Khajaguda. The welcome rasam shots are a lovely touch.
Came for the kodi starters, stayed for the mutton sukka. Bold, fiery and full of soul, exactly the kind of Andhra food Hyderabad needed.
Best Andhra thali in the area, hands down. The pulusu is tangy perfection and the staff treat you like family. Highly recommend.
Massive portions, fair prices and flavour that punches above its weight. The pepper chicken is absolutely unreal.
Brought my whole family for Sunday lunch, the thali had everyone going back for seconds. Felt like home cooking, levelled up.
Service is quick, the staff are warm, and that ghee-roast aroma hits you the moment you walk in. Properly addictive.
If you love bold Telangana spice, this is your spot. The mutton sukka honestly ruined other restaurants for me.
Cosy vibe, great cocktails and food that actually lives up to the hype. Already planning my next visit.
