✨ Best Indian Food Outside India – Andhra Bhavan, A Culinary Gem! 🇮🇳
If you're craving authentic Indian flavors that take you straight back home, look no further than Andhra Bhavan. Hands down, this has been the best Indian meal I’ve had outside of India — and I’ve traveled quite a bit!
We tried both the Andhra Special Thali and the Vegetarian Thali, and let’s just say: the "before and after" pictures of our plates tell the full story — completely wiped clean!
🌶️ Highlights from the Andhra Special Thali:
The eggplant curry was smoky, rich, and absolutely divine.
Kurkuren tindoras (crispy ivy gourd) – crunchy, spiced to perfection, addictive!
Chicken curry – flavorful with just the right amount of heat.
Mutton curry – tender, deeply spiced, and a clear favorite.
Spicy chicken starter – bold, aromatic, and oh-so-good.
Classic sides like sambar, rasam, daal, and bagara rice brought the whole experience together beautifully.
Every dish on the thali had its own distinct flavor and character — nothing felt repetitive or bland. And the best part? We ended this incredible feast on a sweet note with soft, syrupy gulab jamun and warm gajar ka halwa.
🍽️ Portion Tips:
The Andhra Special Thali is generously sized — perfect for 3 adults or 2 adults + 2 kids.
The Veg Thali is ideal for 2 adults.
🙏 Service Shoutout:
We were served by Prachi, who was super sweet, attentive, and a fantastic host. She made the whole experience even more memorable with her warm hospitality and friendly demeanor. Thank you, Prachi!
This was not just a meal — it was an experience. If you ever find yourself near an Andhra Bhavan, do yourself a favor and go. Come hungry, leave blissfully full. ❤️
