Andhra Bhavan Canteen

Recently had dinner at Andhra Bhavan Canteen and it was a fantastic experience. The canteen is conveniently located just a short walking distance from Mandi House Metro Station which makes it super easy to reach. The food was the real highlight - tried the mutton fry and prawns fry and both were bursting with authentic Andhra flavors. Perfectly spiced, cooked just right and full of that traditional taste you’d expect. It honestly felt like a treat for the taste buds. The staff were polite, welcoming and helpful making the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively, full of energy yet comfortable enough to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. I couldn’t try the veg thali this time but I’ve heard great things and will definitely go back for it on my next visit. Overall, this place is a gem for anyone who loves authentic Andhra cuisine. Highly recommended!

One of the oldest places in Delhi for affordable Andhra meals and Chicken Dum Biryani. Lunch is the best time to dine here. Though it is fairly crowded during lunch time you can get a seat in less than 10 mts. Unlimited veg meals cost ₹200 and the Chicken Dum Biryani ₹300. Veg meals are fairly good with Poori, two vegetable dishes, Pappu (daal), chutney, rice, sambar, rasam, curd, pappad and a sweet dish. You also get a pickle and spicy powder with ghee on the table. My favourite is the daal with pickles and spicy powders and ghee. You can also order side dishes like mutton fry, chicken fry, prawns fry and fish fry at an extra cost. These are small portions and quite spicy. The food is sometimes indifferent at dinner time. They serve dry chapatis along with daal and other vegetables. Inconsistent food quality is a big problem here.

Andhra/Telangana bhawan is situated on Jaswant singh Road, 10 minutes walk from India gate circle. Main entrance is at Jaswant singh Road. Main entrance is allowed to resident guests only (not for canteen visitors) The canteen entrance is from Ashok road (adjacent to circle). The quality of food is Ok (not verygood / excellent). Atmosphere, cleanliness and ambience is below average, but surprisingly, food seems to be overpriced. Point to be noted that Prices at Saravana bhawan and other South Indian / Andhra restaurants are on the lower side compared to the prices being charged here. Ambiance at canteen here doesn't gives feeling of eating at national capital state bhawan canteen, such bhawans were constructed as representative of states at Delhi capital while promoting state's culture, heritage and while selling food at subsided prices. Felt very disappointed for such quality of food and poor ambience while paying very high prices. Andhra pradesh and Telangana government should make a note of this and should provide the food at affordable and nominal prices.

Though the place is very popular the standard has fallen over the years. The main attraction is the South Indian thali which is priced very cheap. There are better South Indian restaurants in the area. The waiting time before you can expect to be seated is not worth the quality of food served here

Enjoyed the food to its core. Simple. Tasty and satisfying. No need to review a place which is a legend in itself. We ordered a thali And to my surprise it was too much for one person . Ahet we ordered a mutton fry which was too good for that matter.

Excellent place to eat the authentic Andhra food. They offer thali and biryani. We choose thali for lunch. Sharing the food is not allowed. Generally the place is crowded but there is staff to manage crowd. Food is unlimited except sweet and curd. If you want extra sweet dish or curd then you need to pay for it. Food is tasty.

Very tasty south indian food thaali. Huge rush and you will get your number for seat after a long queue. Must try their prawn fry, mutton fry and rice with ghee and gun powder. Thalli can be refilled unlimited time but applams only once. Will go again for their biryanis.

Today I visited Andhra Pradesh Bhavan restaurant, and as a non-veg lover, I ordered one Chicken Biryani and one Mutton Fry. The Chicken Biryani was absolutely delicious – full of flavor, with perfectly cooked rice and tender chicken pieces. The Mutton Fry was more like a rich gravy dish, and it was too good! The meat was well-cooked and packed with authentic Andhra-style spices. If you enjoy spicy and flavorful food, you’ll love it. One thing to keep in mind if you’re visiting during a busy time, you might have to wait at least 10 minutes, but it’s totally worth it. The place gets crowded, which says a lot about its popularity. Must visit with family or friends if you're looking for authentic Andhra non-veg food in Delhi
