Celebrated in Every Bite

I tried Andhra veg meals, it was very tasty with the well balanced flavours of native Andhra. The menu consists of well curated Andhra dishes and sides. The meals is soul satisfying... The mutton Biryani was excellent with tender mutton pieces it was on the spicier side like the typical Andhra dishes... The mutton gravy was rich and had a great texture... Rajesh and his subordinates did a great job with the service.. the staff are very polite and friendly.

Nandhini Hotels (RT Nagar) has quite the reputation and is well maintained. I've been going there for years now, and it has never disappointed. Sometimes, there's a waiting period but that is also very organised and you're allowed to sit at the lounge. The food quality is amazing and their pricing can fit any thickness of the wallet. A must try family restaurant! Good ambience. Both AC and non AC seatings available.

Best place to visit with family and friends. I visited it on Saturday afternoon with my family including 2 kids. Nice ambience. Staff are so good to the customers. Tasty food. You will be addicted to this place if you are non vegetarian. Lots of variety. Worthy. Drinks are served. If you want to taste the authentic Andhra Pradesh food, then this restaurant should be in the top of your priority list. I liked the mango breeze mocktail, chicken biryani, chicken lollipop.

When you feel like having vegetarian food, the only place that comes to mind is Nandhini. They are truly the best for vegetarian options, and their non-veg dishes are equally amazing, especially the Sholay Kebab. The flavors are authentic, and the service is always top-notch. Whether it's a casual meal or a special gathering, Nandhini never disappoints. The vibrant spices and fresh ingredients make every bite a delight!
