Here a must visit place while you are in Bengaluru. It's Andra cuisine, both veg and non veg are excellent supported by some authentic pickles and chutneys..
One area where I think they could evolve and innovate is desserts..
One of the best authentic Andhra Meals which happened to be must try from my recent Bangalore diaries was one from Nagarjuna residency that has been operating for almost more than three decades.
Bhojanam/ Andhra meals had right from home styled ghee podi rice to their sweet.
For the pricings and the items that arr served along with the meals turned out to be one of best and especially value of money. The meals from picture also has mutton kheema balls, Fish Simhapuri.
Taste is good but little expensive,
We really liked their food and service. We ordered it yesterday afternoon and food was really delicious and upto our expectations . Parcel was very nicely and delivery was also fast . We really enjoyed.
Value of money n quick service
The best Andhra restaurant in the city. Truly the best place to have your lunch with your friends or family or colleagues. I love the fact that over the year, I personally feel this place is worth visiting atleast thrice a week. The food is worth the money you pay for it. Thank you for having us at your restaurant.
We have been visiting this place for more than 12 years now. Quality and taste remains the same while there has been a steep increase in their price year after year.
Meals here are the best!
If you like your food spicy and delicious then this is the best place to go!
Tried Mutton Biryani and Seer Fish Fry here!
I would say the dum taste of juicy mutton is heaven!
However waiting for the table is inevitable here. ALWAYS CROWDED!
FINAL WORD - If you're planning to have some authentic Andhra food, then this is the place for you!
'Nagarjuna' is a class apart. I love this place so much. The food here is all things love. The biriyani, the chicken, the curry with the biriyani and the meals - I just cannot get enough of it, EVER! I've been to various outlets and all of them have a few things in common:
1. They all make the same kind of (excellent) food. So you can go to any outlet and you won't be disappointed.
2. They're always, I repeat, ALWAYS crowded. You'll never get a reservation. Waiting is inevitable here.
3. It's freaking brilliant. You will not be disappointed. Ever.
Although it is a little bit on the pricier side, it's definitely worth the money. The quantity and quality are impeccable. You will not regret it.
This is definitely one of my most favorite Andhra restaurants in Bengaluru. If you're new here, make sure you go to 'Nagarjuna' for some lip smacking Andhra food!
Overall rating:
Food - 4.5/5
Service - 3.5/5
Ambience - 3/5
Expensive for sure but totally worth it
Can never get bored of this place... A must try biryani for all the biryani lovers....
One of the best South Indian meals I've ever eaten in Bangalore. And natu vellai is so gooddd.
Nagarjuna serves some really good andhra food. You get the best biryani and meals here. If you like your food spicy and delicious this is the best place to go to.
Excellent place. I had mutton curry and wife had veg thali. Both were great in taste. Awesome cooking and taste
The chicken biryani was awesome. The gravy was mixed well with rice .It had the right amount of spices though it.
Well well well !!! It's a home away from home. If you are missing 'ghar ka khana' ,then this is the place for you. A simple yet tasty Andhra cuisine which more or less would replicate to the taste of north Indians. Amazing sambar,curd dipped deep fried chiilies, tangy chutney ,ghee ,almost around 8-10 side items on unlimited servings .Because this place is quite popular hence you can expect a waiting time of 10-20 mins though the wait is worth.
Ambiance is quite attractive and the use of flowers throughout the entrance entices you. The staff is friendly and looking forward to serve you. The best thing is the food. You can enjoy traditional Andhra food and the food itself is very simple which takes the taste to the next level. A must visit place and a jewel in Bangalore food landscape.Food is served on banana Leaf must visit if in Bangalore
Amazing place. Thali and chicken kabab is one of the best combi one can have. Also mutton biryani is absolutely in accord to my tste.
We went to Nagarjuna on recommendation of one of my colleague for lunch from office, and to my surprise there were more than 100 people waiting for their turn to get a table. I was curious seeing the crowd, we waited for 20 mins to get a table and ordered Chicken Biryani, Chilli Chicken, Chicken Fry, Pepper Prawn, Lime Soda. I loved the chicken biryani and chilli chicken personally, food was served on banana leaf traditional south indian way and typical Andhra style food. If u love spicy food this should be your goto place.
Must try Biryani. Best Andhra Cusine in Bangalore. Good luck getting a reservation though.
The ambience of the place is very clean and nice. The staff were courteous. The unique style here is that the dishes would be served in banana leaves. The quantity of dish is sufficient for 2 people. The taste was spicy and delicious! The place is good for spice lovers.
Loved how the staff is generous with the ghee
The yummy Andhra style cusine with very comfortable ambience and friendly staff , you'd like to visit again !!! Every bite had it's spectacular flavour and it's worth every penny... The biryani is the signature dish not to miss at all specially for the biryani lovers... On the whole a perfect place to visit with family and friends. The special gravy served with biryani is like cherry on the cake.. if your visiting Bangalore for the first time this place has to be on your checklist..Go Grab a bite soon.
South Indian food at its best, another legendary outlet of Banglore, super fast service, excellent food, a friend recommended Mutton ghee rost so I ordered only that, super tasty, juicy mutton. With flavors of South. Will certainly return to enjoy more food
M a strictly non veg person but this place let you forget that’s their mouthwatering veg dishes. Also they serve great South Indian food.
Amazing service specially Persona named Raghu he assisted us well must visit
Tasty chicken biryani&chicken chilly
Nagarjuna lived upto my expections on food and service,I heard a lot about this place and thought of trying it out with my family and actually didn’t disappoint us. We tried couple of Dishes and andhra meal and everything was really good.
Service was also quite quick and responsive which ofcourse adds up to the overall experience.
So Good job nagarjuna Guys..👍🏼
One of the finest Andhra restaurants in the city. Very spacious ,still crowded during weekends. Good variety in menu. I had ordered veg meals. The dal , the potato stir fry, chutney , kheer all were good. However,it was like any other Andhra style restaurant of this class,I didn't feel anything special in the taste.
It is one of the best restaurants serving andhra delicacies in bangalore , there dal poppu is very tasty. We had ordered a veg thali which was good. overall it is worth once a visit to taste the spicy andhra cuisine
My favorite is Andhra chilli chicken......
😍😍............
Meals are great here
...
Staffs are courteous......
Service is also gud....
Come here for the most authentic Andhra Thali. They serve you on banana leaves and that is a lovely gesture by itself. Also go for the Mutton Roast and the Chicken Roast done in Andhra style.
Nagarjuna is a vastly popular chain of restaurants that serves native Andhra cuisine and has branches across Bengaluru. Established in 1984, this joint is always packed to capacity and there is an unavoidable waiting line, but you get a table soon enough...pretty fast moving crowd

My two fav dishes here are the Mutton Kheema Meat Balls and the pappu (daal) on their veg thaali. The meat balls are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside with absolutely delectable flavours. The veg thaali over all has a decent flavour profile...other dishes to note are their rasam and sambar👌. Was waiting to visit this place for ages !! Im a happy camper now 😋🥰
The quality of food and service at Nagarjuna has been consistent over the years. They don't cut corners. Please do note that the restaurant gets insanely crowded on the weekends so please plan ahead.
Whenever I feel like having Andhra food I visit Nagarjuna. I order any of the 3 dishes - Guntur chicken, Chicken 65 or Kodi Iguru served on plantain leaves with chapaati and buttermilk. And each time the preparation is the same. Their quality has not dropped even a little. My only suggestion would be to add a little more spice in the buttermilk as it tastes bland (but that's my preference).
I would like to try their Andhra Meal (someday) as it's one of their top dishes and recommended by many.
We were here on saturday night for dinner with a friend of mine from delhi. It was his first experience and mine since my childhood days. I got to visit this place after a very long time coz of my friend. We got to order Veg Biryani, Chicken Biryani and Chicken Sixer. Chicken sixer was too good. Veg Biryani was good, best part was bread pieces in the biryani. I love it personally. Its our Bangalore local style. Chicken biryani was decent. Overall a good experience. Generous staff, quick service, limited menu for vegetarians. Still worth a visit...
Excellent andhra meals but extremely bland biryani.
Have been to nagarjuna twice. First time, had ordered for veg meals. It was very authentic. Special mention to the ghee- extremely aromatic. The second time, tried the veg biryani. You wouldn't be mistaken for a pulav as there was absolutely no masala, just a couple of spices, rice and vegetables mixed together. Not sure what style of biryani it belongs to.

One of my favourite places for meals and Biryani’s in Bangalore! 😍😍😍 the chicken fry and mutton pepper fry are perfect!
And the chilli chicken is superb!
A great place for meal lover
Nagarjuna is basically famous for their non veg cruisine but it is also quite famous for their andhara style meal.
The consists of : Stream rice topped with lots of pure ghee, palak dal, mixed veg, chatni, sambar, rasam, curd, buttermilk,sweet kheer and papad.
It is unlimited meal
The veg thali is so good. Must visit experience if ever in Bangalore. Would strongly recommend to anybody!
Yummy food and good ambiance along with great service at a reasonable price, this is what I would say about Nagarjuna..
This place is very congested and over crowded especially during the lunch hours but a little wait will get you some great Andhra food. The meals are to die for - the side dishes, rice, sambhar and chutneys are amazing. This place serves one of the best meals in town. The Guntur chicken is finger licking good...
Good value for money and authentic Andhra taste.
Getting a place to park your car can be troublesome or near impossible......
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nagarjuna Restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food they served was nothing short of delightful; each dish burst with flavors that left me wanting more. The skillful use of spices and ingredients truly showcased their commitment to authentic and delicious cuisine.
What stood out equally was the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Their attentive service created a welcoming and comfortable environment, making me feel right at home. They were more than willing to answer questions and offer recommendations, adding a personal touch to the dining experience.
The overall ambiance of the restaurant was pleasing, with a comfortable seating arrangement and a cozy atmosphere. I was also impressed by the efficiency of the service, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
Nagarjuna Restaurant undoubtedly impressed me with their extremely tasty food, friendly staff, and impeccable service. If you're seeking a place that combines exceptional flavors with genuine hospitality, this is a must-visit destination that won't disappoint.
Hiiii from Bengaluru.. This was dinner some days back ... The best Andhra Biryani at Nagarjuna and Pepper Chicken Fry 😍absolutely yummmmmy... 👌😋😋😋They have still retained the taste even after years 😍👌
Excellent place for Hyderabadi Biryani and Andhra food (non veg). Service is great. Went for team lunch (9 members) we got the seats right away. Food is excellent, Chicken 65 and their chicken Biryani is amazing which I think everyone knows anyway.. Would recommend this for small group lunch! Price is reasonable for the quality they offer in terms of food and service!
Really loved the food. Veg thali was amazing with lots of side dishes and also the mutton biryani was great.
Nagarjuna offers exceptional vegetarian cuisine that left me utterly astounded upon the first taste. The initial bite was truly sensational. I wholeheartedly recommend this dining experience to anyone, as I am confident they will not regret indulging in such exquisite flavors.
I have visited this particular outlet before but I never reviewed it.
Similar to Corner House, the experience at every Nagarjuna is very similar. We waited for about 20 minutes before we got a table which we expected.
My wife and I had Chicken Biriyani and her friends had the meals. We had Chilly Chicken and Prawns Pepper Fry as side dishes.
I love the biriyani at Nagarjuna and that's what I have every time I go there. My wife likes it as well but not as much as I do. Her friends liked the meals. The prawns dish was very nice. The chilly chicken is extremely spicy.
Overall, it was a regular experience at Nagarjuna but I love the food, so I give it 5 stars.
A perfect place if you want to try Andhra meals. Nagarjuna will never disappoint you when it comes to Andhra meals even for vegetarian option it provides very tasty food.
It's little on spicy side but taste is worth every penny spent. Just plan your appetite in advance in case you want to try lunch here. Specially Dal here is too good and my favourite.
A must try for Andhra meals, cheers !
One of The Old, Authentic Andhra Restaurants in Bangalore. Someone with Consistency in Taste Throughout. The crowd is way too much during lunch and relatively lesser during dinner. We enjoyed their signature Andhra Meals with Pappu accompanied by Chicken Sixer , Chicken Sholay Kebab , Chicken 65, Andhra chilli chicken , Fish Fry , Mutton Balls. The service was super swift and they make sure you have a Complete Experience during your visit.
Will definitely Visit Again.
Authentic Andhra cuisine, been hearing and seeing Nagarjuna forever and finally visited. Everything we ordered was quite delicious. I am a vegetarian, so options are limited here but decent. I ordered gobi sholay which was yummy - ate this for the first time. You want a meal, or a biriyani then this place would be recommended.
Fun part was that whatever you order, everything is served on a plantain leaf. :)
This branch of Nagarjuna in the residency road is just beside the main road and is opposite to it's main competition, Meghana Foods.
The food never fails to amaze and as always lives upto the brand.
Not enough parking space for cars but limited space available for bike parking.
Must try their Andhra meals and also the biriyani.
We enjoyed the food thoroughly!!
We got the spicy chicken, chicken lollipops and the biryani. The starters were awesome and had so much flavour. The biryani could have been better.
Overall, eating from the leaf and authentically made the whole experience very awesome.
The staff were amazing and the service was great. We really recommend this place!
Had dinner here after shopping as we want to have some good South indian food for my kid.
Tried their Mutton Biryani which was little spicy but it's good in taste.
Also tried their dosa+chicken gravy which is authentic in taste.
They have even ready to offer small portion of rice + rasam for my kid even at late night.
Hope they serve meals for both lunch and dinner menu.
Only concern is they don't have car parking space in this place.
Understood this was their first branch started in Bengaluru around 1980s.
Their staffs were very much cooperative and volunteer for any help.
Rest rooms were also kept clean.
We used to opt for their other branch at Koramangala usually for lunch.
Everything they are serving in banana leaf which is authentic.
Preferred place(chain of restaurants) to have home style food for kids and elderly people.
Ambience - Good seating arrangement. Neatly maintained restaurant with clean washrooms. Well lit place and decent crowd too.
Menu/ Food - Andhra style menu with not so spicy dishes as Andhra cuisine is famous for. The chicken and mutton biryani is the specialty. Liked the chilli chicken and Chicken 65. The cost is little over priced for the quantity and quality of food. A bowl of biryani and with starter would cost you around Rs.700.
Service - I liked the service a lot. The staff is quite friendly and the service is quick. They are polite and take care of guests well.
Parking is a problem for cars. Its wheelchair accessible and safe too.
Enjoy foods biryani. Nice test. Visit every one . Perfect Andra-style dinner. The best vegetarian meal in Bengalor is also available. Non-veg is GOOD . The best parts are fast delivery and hot food, as well as a decent ambiance. When you eat food in a banana leaf, you will get pure retro style. all customer was happy after lunch or dinner.
Great place to have authentic Andhra style food.. they have good options for non-vegetarians...
Here in Nagarjuna Restaurant you can get a wonderful Andhra meal, mutton biriyani and chicken biriyani, everything served here is delicious.
Worth the price.
You have to wait 10 to 15 minutes for the seat in afternoon an night time.
Only here there's a parking issue apart from that everything is okay.
