It used to serve the best Dum biryani and
Andhra style meals .
Indian food was also quite good in this place
Tandoor starters are must try
After shopping me n my parents were hungry,so we decided to have lunch here. Good staff team they have. They quickly came n took the order. We order Gobi pepper fry in starter, butter chicken in gravy and some rotis and kulcha in breads. Food was good.
I would highly recommend this place for a spicy non veg food. If you are vegetarian, dont worry this place will not dissapoint you. They also serve yummy veg food as well. Rather than dining, I would prefer a home delivery.
Their chilli mushroom is tasty and it is a run of the mill andhra restaurant. Service is quite lousy and the person on the phone is generally very rude. Food especially egg and veg biryani tastes really good.
Authentic hyderabad style mouth watering food. Once you have food there you will become a fan. Only problem is the ambience, but they have free home delivery too.
Yummy food.... Very dark ambience....looks very gloomy.....it can lil more bright,.............................................
Athithi is a great place to get some spicy Andhra styled food. Based on friends review we decided to get a take away from here. While the ambience is nothing great; the food here is wonderful. The dishes are spicy and very flavourful.
Recommended for:
* Chilli chicken very juicy and spicy, chicken fry and roast, guntur chicken are great too.
* The Biryani is great quite spicy.
* Fried rice veg/egg is great too.
Not Recommended for:
* The dine in experience might not be wonderful.
Food is never disappointing here, so highly recommended for the spicy palate.
My heart (and stomach ;) ) says this place definitely deserves a higher rating but my brain doesn't allow me to.
The food tastes awesome - one of the best after you cross the Jeyadeva bride in BG road. Lot of varieties and lot of seating space and what ever be the size of your team, you will definitely find a place to sit together.
For home deliveries/ take away this is one of the best option and definitely gets a 4.5 - 5.
The only thing i dislike about the place is the quality of service and space they try to maintain. yup, you heard it right. They are intentionally not worried about it and it makes me sick.
Hope they soon change the ambiance so that all the work done in cooking such delicious food doesn't go in vain. :)
I have been to Athithi a number of times, mostly for Dinner during my college days. But even now when i am in bangalore,i make it a point to eat here. The Andhra food here is great. My favourite though is their special Veg biryani, which is served with spicy veg manchurian type balls... Its just yumm, i have not eaten this kind of veg biryani any where else. The ambience though is not great, place is dimly lit (too dim for my liking), also as they serve alcohol some people may feel queasy
Amazing Andhra food !!! I only order from this place, and the quantity they provide in one meal can easily serve two people (even three !!!) .. The amount of rice, dal fry and sabzi they provide always goes for a second serving the next day ... The taste is quite good, and its just simple home food which makes it an absolute treat.. Quite moderately priced considering that one meal can serve two people easily,, Definitely would recommend it atleast once !
This is one place we always prefer home delivery from, because the food is good but the ambiance is a little unfamily-like. Don't know how it is now, but a year ago (when we stopped eating in, and started ordering), it was very basic ambiance. Sometimes, the smell of alcohol would waft into our noses from other tables. It had a very uninviting appearance from the outside. But I don't want to comment/rate based on my older experience.
Now, to the food. Considering their speciality is Andhra food, that the spice levels are high is to be expected (though not as high as Nagarjuna or Nandini). With that expectation, the Athithi Special Mutton Biriyani was very tasty (with medium-not-great quality mutton). Drums of Heaven, though listed in the Chinese starters section, was pretty much an Indian-style spicy set of leg pieces. Very tasty, but in no way even remotely Chinese. Chicken Fried Rice was functional, with a generous dose of eggs, I must say. The downer was the Chilly Fish. While the fish was cooked very soft and the overal dish tasted good, there was no trace of 'Chilly' in it! Very surprising that a dish called 'Chilly'-something in an Andhra restaurant tasted mild to the palate.
The quantity of each rice dish was a little more than one person could eat. Still, Rs.650 seemed a little high for the 4 items we ordered.
Just returned from lunch at Athithi.
Very good food, had the mutton pepper fry & mutton rogan josh, and the veg sheekh kebab, dal makhani & egg biryani for my veggie friends. Everything was either well above average, or just plain outstanding! Especially the mutton - great quality meat & straightforward tasty preparations. The biryani had a raw spice edge to it, that was actually interesting. The sheekh was as nice as veg sheekh can be, and the garlic naan was well....garlicky! The dal makhani & roti were good too.
The place is an absolutely no frills joint - so don't go there expecting anything fancy. Just a quiet place to have a beer (reasonably priced @ 85 for a KF pint + there's Foster's draught) with some good food. The service was fair and non-intrusive. Definitely look forward to my next visit there...hopefully soon :-)
Good food and ambience.
A must visit with family
