TIRUPATHI BHIMAS YELAHANKA

There was so much talk about this all vegetarian Andhra cuisine restaurant in the food circles, a concept I love (all veg Andhra meals fine dine restaurant) and felt this should be there all over city. Despite staying really, really far away from this place, I decided to take a day off to lunch here. It felt like going on a long picnic because I stay roughly about 21 kms away! But I badly needed time out and retail therapy in the malls close by in the area so it worked for me. For a change, I'd like to start with the minuses whereas I usually start with the pluses when I write a review. There wasn't anything authentically Andhra about this menu at all!! Imagine poori and lobia beans curry and vegetable pulao and raitha in Andhra meals. ..something that's never featured in hard-core Andhra restaurants. The spicy chutneys, majjiga pulusu which are a must with every meal was also missing. Fryums were served over the rice papad too. Staff couldn't really understand or pronounce the dish names properly either. Thankfully the famous Andhra pappu was served…This is my all time favorite everywhere and it tasted great here too. BUT and here are the pluses...the service was great, prompt and attentive, the dishes were all extremely tasty even if it felt some dint belong, which made it worth the travel. I summed it up to a friend of mine – Chaala baagundhi but weird menu. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. Prices reasonable. There are other options too breakfast and other dishes but I dint explore them because my aim was to try only the Andhra meals. If one can put the authentic Andhra part side and go without expectations of eating the same Andhra meals made popular by branded restaurants in the city, this meal is definitely enjoyable. Would I go again? Not my way out, but if in the area, yes. Would I recommend to others? Give it a try only if close by. Overall rating 3/5 My Ratings for reviews 1-No! No! No! 2-Just about average 3- Good. Can give it a try 4-Great!! 5-Yes! Yes! Yes! And I’ll tell all about it.
