Had a chance to taste some great Andhra delicacies at Samaikya... If you have seen my earlier report from my adventures in Arakku, Andhra is a very generous place when it comes to food and it showed in here as well. What we wolfed? Karvepaku Rasam - Nicely done... Great start. Tangy and the hit of pepper gets those saliva glands working for the subsequent dishes. Guntur Chicken - A little stray away from the traditional raw hit of chillies to have a bigger hit from pepper. It was spicy AF and my favourite here. Kandi Podi Kodi - Chicken tossed in the famous andhra lentil powder. Nice but a litle toned down compared to the Guntur chicken Avakaya Paneer - Paneer chunks marinated in mango (avakaya) pickles.. My kind of veg dish. :D Andhra Chilli Wings - A version of the now popular andhra chilli chicken... The raw hit of chillies will clear your sinus and if you feel your ears getting warm, you are probably smoking through the ears.. Lovely, just lovely Gongura Pappu - Cant go wrong with this one... Its what they do as easy as breathing Ulvacharu Biryani - Biryani with the traditional Andhra ullavacharu. On another foodies tip, added a bit of cream and this was great but reduced the potency of the biryani. I like mine HOT which it was to an extent. Did not try the dessert. All in all a memorable experience. Will go back for more.

Review by our Team Ghatotkatcha Samikya means peace!! Here in HSR layout, Andhra food has good it's peace and home having authenticity. They serve dishes from all three parts of Telugu land and also furnished likewise, the paintings are of Tolu Bommalu aata or puppets from Rayalaseema, decorated with Kondapalli Bommalu or Dolls from Kondapalli and the cuision covers are Telangana Handicrafts. Coming to the food, they serve you Karivepaku rasam or a Rasam made with curry leaves and pepper which is strong in flavour, substituted with a soup. The starters ordered are Guntur Chicken which had an amazing flavour of Green Chilli and Guntur chilli with a dash of citrus. Kandi Podi Kodi is one amazing dish where boneless chicken is marinated along with Kandi Podi and this hits your spicy pallet. Chilli Chicken wings stole my heart which is soft and amazing. For main course, we had a Veg and Non Veg Thali. This Telugu Thali shows the perfection in a Telugu meal consisting of Pulihora, Talimpu, Pulusu, Pappu rasam and Sambar, curd, payasam, allam Chutney accompanied by White rice or Annam, Chapati and papad. I can bet that each and every dish is upto the mark!! I personally became a fan of their Gongura Pappu 😋 The non veg has kebabs and Kodi Kura included along the regular fare. Ulavacharu Biryani with Cream or meegada is a beautifully curated dish, this dish will make you fall in love with Telugu cuisine all over again. Nalla Bokkala Kura with white rice is a Telangana dish where mutton bone marrow is used to make a curry and we can eat it with rice, this is a popular dish in Telangana. For Dessert, one cannot miss the Double Ka Meetha, which has Perfection with bread and milk.
