Food is bit costly but worth eating
There’s something so appetising about seeming that thali with so many katoris... for me it’s mesmerising. For a South Indian food lover like me, it was a heavenly experience. We hardly get any decent Andhra food in Mumbai. So even when it was just a day visit, I had to have an Andhra thali.
2 diff types of veg thali we ordered and both were complete with multiple curries, dal, rasam, sambhar and payasam... everything was so yumm it’s unbelievable. Of course we over ate to the limit.
We also ordered a fish fry which was yum. Kheema balls were a bit vague since I have never had something like this. It was tasty but didn’t go with the thali.
Wish to visit again soon 😋
Andra meals kinda day!!!!
Goood food!!!!
Dr Thaliiii was goood loved all d curries that they served vth it was quiet enjoyable
But I was little upset vth tat podi coz t was not uptight tat andra podi thing
Only that was I din like ex wig tat alll was quiet nice
So f u guys wanna hv andra meals this is the right place droppppp in 😬
Happiiiiiii eatingggggg 😬😍
The Food was super. Tasted great. Spicy for someone like me who doesn't eat much spice. Typical Andhra food. Thali is the ideal. A'la Carte is very very expensive. The starters in A'la carte are very pricey and the quantity is very very less. Ofcourse fheh were tasty, but price not worth the quantity they give. Good place for team outings or family outings if u crave for authentic Andhra Food.
If you are searching for a authentic Andhra veg meals, here is the perfect place for you to enjoy with your friends and family😃. Their avakkai pickle 💯. Bought 1kg avakkai pickle from them😜. Over all it was a good experience and worth every penny I spent.
Spicy! That's the first thing you need to know about Andhra Food and this restaurant. If you like your food like that it is a good place to go.
The restaurant is decently set up. And variety of food is good.
I really liked my scrumptious non veg thali. I over ate.
The paya soup was tasty too.
The restaurant is good for once in a while. I don't think I can eat this kind of food regularly.
This is hands down one of the best Andhra places for food that I have been to. I have had more than one meal here and not once have I been disappointed. Everyone please go here. Enjoy the food and rub your belly once done.
If you're looking for genuine and flavorful Andhra food, this is the place to head to.
Very few places and people manage to get the right flavor of Andhra Cooking and this is one place that does.
I like the portion sizes served in the Thaali, and the variety too. Typical dishes like Pulusu, Pachadi (Chutney) ,Pappuchaaru (Dal) Vepudu's (fried vegetables) and Podi's.
Service and ambience are both good.
Food was enjoyable. Biryani wasn’t up to the mark, it was normal biryani. The starters were tasty 😋
Andhra Meals Kinda day!
Where ? #ManaAndhra!
In the picture: VINDHU BHOJANAM!
Priced at 625, it consists of Kodi Pulao, fish curry, chicken curry, mutton fry, Boiled egg, rasam, sambar, 3 veg curries, unlimited white rice, pooris, Papad, Village pachadi, curd, thalimpu, sweet and ice cream.
I loved the curries, mutton fry & pachadi the best!
It's unlimited, so it's worth only if you are the kinda person that can actually eat them all. I couldn't. For 625, it's totally worth it. Spice level 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mana Andhra is located in knk road, below nasi & Mee.

Who says no to traditional andhra cuisine? Yes, if would like to experience the typical andhra menu and then this is the place.. I ordered raju gari bhojanam for the lunch and everything was so delicious.. I lovee their customer service which is worth a mention.. Such a quick service.. Must try for andhra food lovers..
Tried the famous vegetarian meal. Simply superb. One of the best tangy, spicy veg meals in the city. Restaurant interior needs a full revamp. It has lost its beauty. Cleanliness should be improved a lot.
Best Andhra food in Chennai.
Good ambience, great place. You can get exact Andhra dishes here. Excellent service. Overall great place to have a lunch.
The place serves authentic andra style preparations.
It is just below nasi and me , great ambience , friendly staff and fast service.
What to order:
If you like spicy food then call for the :
Warangal guntuca kodi: it is basically chicken 65 and it is spicy. The dish was very good and yumm. Quantity is not very much but can be shared.
Bilal kodi biryani : It is the spicy version of the chicken biryani , only thing is the biryani comes covered in a omelet and the chicken is boneless. The dish was super yumm and was spicy .
Will go back again to try the other items on the menu.
I’ve been to the land of spices which is completely unplanned and to the surprise it tasted love, and tradition, and spices many spices.
This food is gold and brown, and white, and red
The red is Tandoori chicken and the brown is lentils and spicy ones.
The smooth warmth of a fire and the sweet
tanginess of spices are here.
Boiled eggs swim in their amber masala bath.
I break the crisp roti and dip it in the sauce.
I bite into a pungent herb or tamarind
seed and taste surprise yes!!! taste surprise.
The familiar is here too yet not always so familiar.
Garam masala, coriander, cinnamon all must
have been scooped out of a tin, or bag, or box
and added to the curries by the cook.
And forget to mention cumin and fenugreek
and spinach and it is transformed into these mouth licking dish ......and so am I.

Exceptional food!!! Finger licking good... Yummm
Best non veg thali I have had!!! Great spread on the plate and simply superb taste!!!! Service could be better and the ambience was just ok!!!! Giving it 5 coz of the spread and taste!!!! Will be my regular whenever am in Chennai!!!! Must visit!!!!
Very surprised to see this restaurant quite empty on a Sunday afternoon.
We ordered veg bhojanam, non-vegetarian bhojanam and chicken Biryani. Food is excellent with very authentic Andhra flavours. The thali menu is quite elaborate and every single dish was tasty. The chutney served with thali (not sure if it's chintakaaya pachadi) is the best.
This is our third visit and the previous two visits were long ago. We are glad that quality of food / taste is well maintained but the ambience looked little neglected. Compared to other restaurants run by this chain, this place definitely looks neglected and needs some work.
Coming to the pricing part, its quite high. This could be the main reason for this place being quite empty on a Sunday afternoon.
Food - 4.5/5
Ambience 3/5
Pricing - 2/5

Authentic Andhra food. Had ordered the veg thali. The dal powder , gongura pickle and sabudana payasam were great . Sambar was as usual. Rasam was bad - tasteless. Kuzhambu was amazing.
The ambience is good , but they were playing loud and disturbing music whilst I was there.
PS :- Some of the dishes here are highly spicy . Good for you if you can handle spice.

One of best Andhra restaurant in the city . I love their meals and biryani. Kodi mirpayaka vepudu is best dish I have eaten . Food is little oily and spicy , but I have no complaints about that . Would be happier if they open branches near to my home . 😃
absolutely new with the authenticity of South India
When I think of mana andhra.. I always remember how spicy it was...
Best andra meal I ever had..
If u could manage spicy ones.. this is place to try..
Good place for telugu cuisine. Mokkajonna garelu was my favourite dish. Thali is very costly where they will not repeat dishes. Biryani is OK and not at all Telugu taste.
We went as a group of 12 people, Valet parking is great. KNK road s tough to park, so this s a dwfeNite plus. The food was awesome, we ordered veg meals, vankaya, egg masala, pappu with gongura. The names r tough to recall. The non veg eating ppl were mad abt the chicken, the meal was awesome too I hear. The food was too good, the set up was nice. Good space between de tables, the service was good. We will go back for sure, to try all the stuff on de menu. The vada in tamarind curry was awesome.
Lovely food, quality of plain rice was very good, their brinjal karam was amazing, Nellore chilli chicken was good, tomato pappu was great but not tangy enough for me, egg miriam was just about ok. But their prices are on the higher side in my opinion, they could possibly slash a third of what they are and they will have a 5* rating, will go again

It is in the basement of the building, shared along with nasi and me.
Service was quick and good. Restaurant is neatly maintained.
Being a Telugu family, we have always drooled for spicy Andhra foods. After seeing this restaurant in kNk road we just got in to have spicy lunch.
Orders:
Mana thali (₹ 310)
Which had 2 pooris, 2 papad, mint rice,
3 veg curries like mixed vegetables fry, ullipaya fry ( fried onion) and spinach fry.
Sambar, rasam, pachadi, curd and 2 different thalimpu.
The sweet was saggubiyyam payasam (javvarisi payasam). And the most popular podis and gongura pachadi were already placed in the table.
The fried onions were too salty and not at all eatable. Other than that every other dish was good but not spicy .
We also had two other items, guthivankaya biryani and mirchi Baji. That was my choice because I'm the type who never prefer a normal meal plate.
Mirchi Baji was served really spicy and the onions as the topping added more spice to it.
Guthivankaya biryani was the best. The quantity was also good.
I was having Baji and biryani simultaneously and that left me in tears.
This will be the must visit place in kNk road, if you are a spice lover.
Apart from this, the most popular dish in Andhra is pesarattu, a pesaru pappu/moong dal receipe. It should also be tried but the price here is too high.
I have been here two times since last week. The food is amazing. My taste buds are used to the usual chettinad style cooking, this place beat that comprehensively. I loved the fish fry which was juicy and tender, spicily fried. My wife loved the vegetarian dishes.
Went for Dinner with my family , The food was very good as was the quantity. The Chilli chicken and biriyani was excellent. We ordered a couple of more items like dosa and others which were also good. The taste was excellent but was a little too spicy for the kids. Overall a good place to visit .
A must try for people who like spicy andhra food. Meals is the obvious choice for lunch. Went here for dinner and had podi dosa, chapathi and tried egg, mushrooms and avakkai biryani. All were tasty. Service was good and staff were friendly.
It is at the basement of the building, spacious and well lit. Restroom is outside and can be better maintained but nothing major to complain about. Parking can be a problem so just give your keys to the valet.
Non veg stuff are Amazing (my friend's feedback)
Not too expensive and bring your hanky along if you can't handle the spice..
This place tops my list whenever hunger and craving for good food takes the highest priority. Located in the basement floor of the building, we went there for the first time thinking that it would be just another restaurant but the impression that it left was mind-blowing. The staff is very courteous. You will be welcomed with butter milk or lime juice initially. They have a good variety of dishes. I've tried their veg thaali, non veg thaali, chicken Biryani and all were splendid. Their veg thaali is our favorite.
This is one restaurant I end up at often, due to its sheer proximity to work and it's absolutely delicious food. Usual order is Guntur chicken curry with phulka and masala buttermilk, although I have known to order the thali ( veg/ non-veg) on a few occasions too. The thali is a dream!! 5-6 gravies, rice, papad, puri, curd, sambhar, & rasam are a part of this orgy. However if you're a small eater like me beware. I find it difficult to finish.
The service is prompt no matter how busy.
The only thing wanting is a decore. Such lovely food deserves a better setting:)

BEST ANDHRA FOOD. BEST SOUTH INDIAN JOINT.
We went for a Sunday lunch. Place was a little crowded. But the people there were very helpful to get us a table.
Got a glass of Buttermilk as welcome drink. Best summer drug possible :)
We ordered a Chicken soup.
Corn starter. Chicken and a lamb starter. All the above was ON POINT. Spicy yet yummy. While few places discard taste to make it spicy, here they balanced it beautifully.
For mains, A chicken Briyani wrapped in an omelette - Can still remember the taste. Simply WOW. We also got Prawn gravy along with steamed rice. Best combo. By the time we finished mains, I had tears welled up like I was on the verge of a break up :P
I always equate Andhra food to the amount of tears I get after finishing it. And believe me I cried like a baby ;)
To soothe the hotness, we got 3 desserts. The infamous mango icecream, Gulab jamun with icecream and Carrot halwa with ice cream. Jamun and halwa were so warm and coupled perfect with the ice creams. And about the mango icecream, god it was the BEST. Such dreamy taste. All the items came up to a sum of 2.5k and it was totally worth it.

Andhra Recipie. Best for andhra people
Amazing food! But the staffs run and hide in the kitchen sometimes, I don’t know why. And then the owner of the restaurant shepherds them outside. She personally talks to you about the food and asks if you liked the food. And this place serves the best Andhra food!
excellent biryani.. i loved it..
afternoon I have tasted brinjal biryani.. now I tasted avakaya biryani.. both are so delicious.. why don't you make avakaya chicken biryani.... IAM eagerly searching for that.
i have ordered brinjal biryani..Really brinjal biryani is awesome taste..I loved it.. next time I will taste avakaya biryani and chicken biryani..

Awesome Andhra food ! I usually have the nindhu bhojanam it’s a thali they serve for lunch I wud post a pic of it . The Nellore chilli chicken and Veinchina Royallu which is a prawns dish is also great . They also have a mana thali for vegetarians . The podi is so good and they also sell it separately . Food is spicy though but they do have some dishes which are less spicy ! The biryani is too good .
The restaurant with Andhra style food which is very spicy and good in taste. We had both veg and non veg which is awesome. We had nerapakaya kodi, bilal kodi briyani, kheema briyani, rice and fish curry, chilli fish, chilli prawns everythin was spicy. But the cost of food is too much high.

Biryani quality should be better
Very good place to enjoy authentic Andhra cuisine. Ordered Nellore chilli chicken and one curry chicken too.. both the items were really tasty and spicy too.. the ambience is pleasent and quiet. I especially liked the decor with jars of red chillies. The staff is also polite. All in all a very good dining experience..
Ordered Chicken Biriyani and lemon chicken. If you are expecting a juicy lemon chicken starter you would be disappointed like me. It was very dry and had the taste of lemon but the dish wasn't great. We we're welcomed with butter milk and then the food was served. Biriyani was good, similar to the biriyani that we get in Amaravathi.

Superb food, little pricey but worth every penny. Nellore Chicken is a must. One of the Thalis is served on silver plate.
The andhra style biriyani and the gravies they serve here are out of this world. The pickles they have kept for display will make you buy them as they are highly tempting. The chicken starters and soups are classic andhra styled and these are not for the faint hearted. The aavakaya biriyani is a must try and not to forget the nellore chilly chicken. The parking here is little crowded due to the nasi & me restaurant present on the top of this place.
Authentic Andhra cuisine! Hands down the best Andhra meals i've had. Even better than the ones i've had in andhra :)

This place is fullll of Andhra specials and being an Andhra guy staying in Chennai was starved to get these stuff. You should try the special chicken biryani they have and this is like heaven in taste. Andhra Kodi fry and Nellore Chilly chicken are pretty awesomely tasteful.
People over here are respectful and serving with good smile on face. That is what required for any food lover.
Best of the best is bill is not overpriced.
Loved this restaurant and willing to go back with family again...

Quite good place. Different types of dishes obviously for the first time I had. Out of those The Brinjal Biriyani and Bilal Kodi Biriyani were Fingerlickin.. You could try with other ones though.. Service was little dull, well would like to suggest to be better. Pricings also are quite high. So for the delightful food get ready to spend some what more.. Happy Food.. 🥳😋😁😁
Awesome Andhra food.... Non veg Meals super worth
We tried the Veg. Meals yesterday and found the quality of food to be good but the cost was slightly on the higher side. They charged ₹651 for the order for 2 Veg. Meals.
Authentic Andhra food. Service is very good.
I had the full meals veg taali it was brilliant. The quality and quantity was good. It was worth visiting
Great ambience and the interiors looks traditional, the food was awesome with great customer service.
