For once, I felt like someone was penning my thoughts on the canteen.... every word is true, and I enjoye dthe food there the most. I think I went there twice in six working days, andit was indeed a treat even for a pure veggie like me. And the comment on South India = Chennai couldn't have been placed in a better context... fantastic
amazing description, for people who r not aware of andhra food. Any die hard fan of Panneer Palak, Butter chicken or tandoori etc , just eat the andhra meals. Next time you will die for it. Im sure.
thanks a lot for the information...i have been in the capital for 3 months and had no idea where i can have a good meal....hope to know if there are any more places where i can have andhra meals.......
One of my journalist friends took me to AP Bhavan in March 2001 for lunch, coincidentally I had a job offer with a company in Hyderabad about the same time.....this lunch made me think that I am indeed going to the right place. Absolutely delectable. I have been in Hyderabad since then and have enjoyed every bit of it. Though from North, I was never challenged in terms of geography but I did find the treasures of south such as Malabar cuisine when I went to Kerala, subtle differences between Andhra and Telangana cuisine and so on......and it is definitely and delectable richer than generic image of south Indian food people carry in North.
Your article is very good. You described my feeling and feelings like most of the people like me in a very tasty words. Yes hundreds of miles away from Andhra a visit Andhra Bhavan brings back the lost touch.
