The menu card mentions a bit about how the restaurant got its name from a coastal village and wild life reserve in east Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, the land of chilly people:)
The interiors had a cosy look about it with soft lighting. I was served a rasam to start with. Now this, I could have every day! Perfect taste and so soothing in the winter chill.
Food I ordered :
Aritikaya slices : Banana slices fried crisp with spices.
Palakoora pappu: Spinach dal
Nuvvulu pappu rice: steamed rice with spicy sesame powder
Mirapakaya Bajji: Stuffed and fried green peppers as a takeaway to snack on later.
I loved almost all what I ordered there. There was onion chutney and ginger chutney to dip into. These were really flavorful. I dipped the fried banana slices in them and enjoyed it the most. Spice quotient was on the higher side so watch it if you aren’t into that kind of food.
The palakoora pappu was fresh and homely and I could eat just that for my meal, which I ended up doing anyways. I dint like the rice not because it wasn’t tasty, but usually basmati rice tends to give an odd odor when cooked and I’m very sensitive to it so I couldn’t enjoy it all that much. Maybe someone with less sensitive sense of smell may not mind it much. I did manage to finish some of it after liberally topping it with dal, chutneys and raw onions to mask the odor. Next time I’ll stick to rotis and the likes.
Disappointment # 1: I did so badly want to taste the sweet poota rekulu which I had heard so much about but sadly it wasn’t available the day I went. Maybe next time I should call and confirm in advance.
Disappointment # 2: Pipe music was awful.
Back home, I ate the mirapakaya bajjis which was good enough, though I like my own preparation of the same.
Suggestions: More desert options. It’s much needed and would be a perfect finish to the spicy meal.
Would I go again? Yes definitely. For one, it was relaxing. Food was tasty. Prices were reasonable and more importantly would want to try their items on the menu the vepudus - fries and their curries and hopefully the poota rekulu the next time around.
