Aavakay is a restaurant based in Kandivali which serves some of the best dishes from Andhra cuisine. It is one of the very few restaurants that are available in Mumbai and since I love food from Andhra Pradesh, I decided to visit it. The place is very spacious, ambiance is really traditional and their service is outstanding.

The owner of the restaurant welcomed us and gave us suggestions of various dishes based on our taste preference. In appetizer, we ordered Aloo-65 which was spicy, delicious and tasted perfect with chapathi. In the main course we ordered Kanda Bachali Kura which is a gravy based dish Pohi Leaves & Yam. This dish had right amount of spice, excellent overall taste and we all loved every bite of it. This dish can make you fall in love with the Andhra cuisine instantly. They do have Punjabi dishes also but I would recommend here to stick to Andhra special dishes. We also tried their Veg. Andhra Pulao which was also delicious, very low on oil and had lot of vegetables making it a perfect dish to end the meal with. They provide a special box containing masalas and pickle on the table and each thing in that box makes your dish super delicious.

Thank you again for such a wonderful experience.

So on our way back home after college we decided to have some lunch outside. Our lunch stop for the day was at Aavakay to try out some Andhra cuisine.
The restaurant is located in Kandivali East and they serve proper authentic Andhra cuisine, delicious biryani and south Indian food too. You can also get Veg and Non veg thali.

Delicious and unique flavors. You can see the sincerity and excitement of the staff in serving the food of Andhra. We ordered Pineapple Rasam, Mirapakay Bhaji starter, Mix Veg Talimpu, Thotakura Pappu, Paneer 65 Biryani and Malabar Paratha. Every single dish was full of flavors and I would highly recommend these items. I hope more people will be willing to try the dishes of Andhra and explore this as a new cuisine.

Firstly, the outside area should be better organized, don’t prefer to walk into a food joint and see backend operation area, may b a partition could be better. The staff is courteous and takes well care once we get in...it’s a feast to taste buds with authentic Telugu cuisine....

I’ve ordered the Veg Aavakay Biryani and the Chicken Hyderbadi Dum Biryani from here and I’ve enjoyed both. Now, I’ve never tasted Andhra food prior to Avakay, so my opinion may be misplaced but nonetheless I’ve enjoyed both these dishes here; especially the Veg biryani which has a pickled flavour to it. The portions of both dishes are satisfying but the pricing could be reduced to further delight the customer.

Very diligent service and exquisite menu. I had an Ulavacharu Chicken Biryani subtlety spicy, if it gets too much one can have it with Butter milk. Was also served with complimentary fries and a Dasara special delicacy. Almost everyone working in the eatery would serve you. It had been a pleasant dining experience.

Our dinner stop for the day was at Aavakay to sample some authentic Andhra cuisine. We sampled their Kodi (chicken) Vepudu, Chicken 65, Mirapakay Baji, Steamed Rice and Paruppu Payasam. We were served their customary accompaniments of Fryums and a sampling of pickles and dry chutneys. Our pick of the meal was the Chicken 65. While most of us think this would be a chinese dish, this one surprised us with authentic Andhra flavors. The dish delivers a balanced combination of tartness, chilly and spices. We also loved the Kodi Shorba which is a traditional spicy Andhra chicken soup. We sampled their rice in traditional Andhra style by combining it with the dried chutneys that were provided and adding ghee on top. The best combination for us was with the dried curry leaves chutney. We ended the meal with the Paruppu Payasam. We loved this dish made with lentils(moong daal), milk, jaggery and coconut. We loved the underlying cardamom taste in every bite. This is definitely an ideal spot for someone on the lookout for authentic Andhra flavors.

This restaurant is located in Kandivali and served great variety of food. Especially the South Indian thali. It's very authentic and lip smacking. You cannot miss the gun powder and other powders they serve. Rasam is too refreshing. It's one of a kind place to get some delicious food. Meal is sufficient for 1 person and not heavy on your pockets too.

Aavakay has bought Andha Pradesh in thakur village, Mumbai. Specializing in cuisine from Andhra Pradesh, they have plenty of choices in both veg & non-veg dishes. The food is well priced & prepared with proper quantity & great quality. The chicken & fish dishes we ordered were extremely fresh & the andhra masala added to it had made us craving for more. We had ordered the following veg & non veg dishes:
Aloo 65 (4/5)
Onion Pakoda (3.5/5)
Andhra kodi vepudu (5/5)
Andhra pepper chicken (5/5)
Kodi chukka (5/5)
Royalu vepudu (5/5)
Malabari parathas (4/5)
Paneer do pyaaza (5/5)
Andhra kodi igudu (5/5)
Chicken ra ra masala (3.5/5)
Their super-fast service was an add-on as the food arrived in few minutes of making the order. Since we choose Aavakay to celebrate a birthday party, the restaurant played the bday song & entire staff sung happy birthday song. I highly recommend people to visit Aavakay for a fine dine Andhra experience. Thank you team Aavakay, I would surely visit here again.

I have visited Aavakay before and have not been impressed but I must say the service and the food has improved so much. I ordered through recommendation from the staff and the food was absolutely delicious and lip smacking. We had the Andhra Kodi Igruh curry with paratha and tandoori roti, rasam rice premixed, kodi chicken starter and some papadoms. The staff was kind enough to give us some extra rasam on the house. If you want to experience Andhra cuisine or something different from your regular outings I highly recommend this restaurant.

Never ever disappointed, they never fail to impress. Our quest for biryani ended here. This must be our 8-9th visit. We had ordered a range of chicken gravies, starters and biryanis. Veg was jaw dropping too, once we ordered brinjal gravy, even that was amazing. They serve hydrabadi biryani comes with a saalan which was spicy and tasty with a very unique flavor profile. Its a testimony to the quality of ingredient.

Now a days we always want to explore new cuisine. So I came across this in Kandivali Thakur village called Aavakay. This restaurant has authentic andhra cuisine. This place is set up with andha theme and music banana leaves bell and all. The place is decent.

When talking about south indian food we only know idli-wada, dosa or sambhar. This place will totally change our opinion on it. The flavours of the food is nice. The taste just can't describe it in words its like the taste is not gone yet. This place gives fryums along with podis (different powdered) spices otger dishes like chicken 65, curd rice, miriyala rasam, chicken curry, hyderabadi biryani, thali and to end with payasam all are worth trying.

Atlast but not the least the staff the are very friendly. The explain the menu so it becomes easy to order the food. A must place to visit.

After a long time found my new favourite....aavakay food rocks!

I had tears of joy! Yummy food...
And also because the food is spicy AF.

But I love it. No complaints....

I loved the prawns, chicken dishes..

Only gripe...the names.... Won't be able to understand. Would suggest adding more pics in the menu, so I can see what I'm ordering and I would order more often.

I loved most of the food, except the chicken Biryani andhra style....i could taste many ingredients like green chilly, red chilly, a dash of chilly, some more chillies, another touch of chilly, sprinkle of chillies, few drops of chilly juiced up, dried chillies.Faaaakkk I'm crying while I'm typing. Spicy AF!

But, lotsa love to aavakay...good food, I'm loving it 👍😀

This place serves amazing food .. simply amazing food !! We had been to this place twice . Once we had the famous dish tomato Pappu which basically means dal .. it tasted simply amazing !! With all the chutney pudis served along with it were simply amazing !! The second time we had opted for andhra thali which was quite filling and tasty though the Pappu was not served along with it. If you wish to have it you have to order it seperately ! Hats off to the owner for building a place with such awesome food !! Will always keep visiting !!

- AAVAKAY - ANDHRA FEW MINUTES AWAY -

The Avakay is a hidden gem! A Big Shout out to Zomato Gold for showing us the very first Authentic Andhra Restaurant in Mumbai.

Our thought when we zeroed down to this place was that we were tired of cliché North Indian, Chinese , Italian cusines, and wanted to try something new and different. When we think about South Indian food we get Idli - dosa and the usual stuff. But this Place is Going to Change your opinion about South Indian cusinie once and for all.

The Name :- Aavakay, its a pickle, yes! A spicy one, and you have to try it when you visit there as they serve it with all the dishes.

What We Had :-

1) Kodi Shorba. :- 3.5
2) Andhra Kodi Vepudu. :- 4.0
3) Malbari Paratha. :- 4.0
4) Semiya Payasam. 4.5
5) Chickem Hyderbadi Biryani 5.0

Kodi Shorba - it has that aroma and the royal feeling. Tastes really awesome!

Andhra Kodi Vepudu - Thick sppicy gravy with Authentic Andhra Taste. Its a must try!

Malbari Paratha - this one is a real malbari paratha and much diffrent than what we get at normal restaurants.

Semiya Payasam - it is basically a dessert , it's more like Kheer, but tastes similar to maharashtrian puran poli but its in liquid form and it has the heavenly feeling thats unmatched!

Hyderabadi Biryani - No! Its not Green, this biryani is extremely authentic as they have a biryani chef who has come from hyderbad and he makes the amazing lipsmacking heavenly hyderabadi biryani.

Hygiene :- 4.0
Interior / Ambience :- 4.5
Service :- 5.0

Aavakaaya is a pickle variety from Andhra having mango & mustard with different spices.
And this eatery captures its essence entirely.
For a cosy family dinner it's one of the best.
Good ambience, good food and courteous staff.
The soup of miriyala rasam and kodi was nostalgic. Kodi vepudu and curry leaf fish had the spices talking
We finished with kodi kuru, malabari roti, huderabadi ch biryani and the signature avakay veg biryani.
I do not have the authority to question the authenticity of flavors. And why should I, when the spice combination is so good the first bite salivates not just our mouth but the soul too.

Recently visited this place which is simple yet elegant. The place serves some authentic Andhra and North Indian cuisine. We tried their aratikaya bhaji which is a stuffed raw banana bhaji and paneer 65 Both the appetizers were mind blowing. Then in mains we had their Andhra biryani which was a perfect blend of spices. The taste was amazing and was accompanied by Raita In the desert we tried their paruppu payasam which is a moong dal payasam and must try their dessert. In drinks we had their gateway sunrise and blue magic both were too good Overall I loved the place 😄

Had Paneer 65, Veg Schezwan Noodles, Andhra Kodi Iguru (Chicken Curry), Malabari Parotha and Putharekulu for a sweet dish. Each of these was an awesome dish. Happy to come back here.

Finding a restaurant which serves authentic Mangalorean and Andhara food is a task in Mumbai! The cuisine for one is very underrated and hasn't touched the palate of many yet! The journey of finding good andhara food got to the doors of Aavakay Aavakay , in thakur village has an expansive menu but I loved their south Indian offerings! They really had everything from Chicken 65 to Gassis to Kori rotis! All the delicacies from the south! The ambience of the place is pretty average like any other multicuisine restaurant nothing fancy but the food makes up for it , they even had TVs streaming sporting event We had Guava Mary The best mocktail to have when you are not in the mood for adventure, the Guava juice was paired up with a coat of chilli on the tip of the glass giving it a spicy punch with every Sip, Decent presentation as well! No brainer if you like Guava Chicken Gassi with Neer Dosa Neer dosa with a gassi is a pair made in heaven , I'll be honest and say I prefer my meat in the gassi to be prawns but the chicken gassi served here was delicious as well , the consistency was nice , not very thick but appropriately moist! The gassi with curry leaves and their rich preparation is one hell of a gravy Andhara Pepper Chicken If you live spice this is your cue , the chicken which was fried was blasted with pepper , me being a spicy food lover enjoyed it but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone! The chicken is served in bite size pieces and a great starter to go with your drinks! Chukka Chicken Biryani We ended our meal with biryani , the chukka chicken is a preparation made with caramelized onions , curry leaves , ginger and garlic! The biryani was on the spicier side due to the chicken chukka but I really loved it! The place is really a south Indian delicacies magnet , you should definitely try it if you haven't tried this cuisine! If you love spicy food you should definitely speed up your visit!

Aavakay - A Gastronomic Delight in Kandivali Thakur Village Nestled in the heart of Kandivali Thakur Village, a mere 5-minute drive from Magathane Metro Station, Aavakay is a hidden gem that promises a delightful culinary experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a lovely and aesthetic ambiance that set the stage for an unforgettable dining adventure. As we settled into our seats, we eagerly perused the menu, excited to explore the array of flavors awaiting us. To kick-start our gastronomic journey, we decided to indulge in the Paneer 65 and Aloo Wada as our starters. The Paneer 65 was a burst of tangy and spicy flavors, perfectly complemented by the tender texture of the paneer. The Aloo Wada, with its golden and crispy exterior, revealed a fluffy and flavorful potato filling. It was a fantastic beginning to our meal. Moving on to the main course, we opted for a combination of Parotha and Phulka Roti, accompanied by a mouthwatering vegetable-stuffed sabji. The sabji was a true masterpiece, brimming with a medley of fresh and aromatic vegetables. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors, highlighting the chef's expertise in creating harmonious blends. The breads, both the soft Parotha and the light and fluffy Phulka Roti, were the perfect accompaniments, allowing us to savor every morsel of the delicious sabji. To complement our meal, we decided to explore the mocktail menu. The Gateway Sunrise, a vibrant concoction of tangy orange and refreshing pineapple, provided a burst of tropical flavors that invigorated our palates. The Blue Lagoon, with its mesmerizing turquoise hue and zesty notes of lemon and mint, was a revitalizing and cooling delight. These mocktails were the perfect companions, balancing and enhancing the flavors of our meal. As our culinary journey approached its sweet conclusion, we couldn't resist the allure of Paramannam, a traditional dessert. The Paramannam, a creamy rice and jaggery-based delicacy, was served with a sprinkle of aromatic cardamom. Each spoonful was a luscious blend of sweetness and warmth, leaving a lingering taste that satisfied our cravings for a perfect ending. Beyond the scrumptious food, I must commend the impeccable service provided by Mr. Shinde, our gracious and attentive server. He effortlessly guided us through the menu, offering valuable recommendations and ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine care enhanced our overall experience at Aavakay. In conclusion, Aavakay is a culinary haven that deserves accolades for its lovely ambiance, delectable food, generous portions, and outstanding service. Whether you're a food enthusiast craving an explosion of flavors or someone seeking a cozy and inviting atmosphere, Aavakay will exceed your expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this gastronomic haven in Kandivali Thakur Village. Prepare to be captivated by the flavors, aromas, and experiences that await you at Aavakay.
