Andhra Kafe — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Situated just opposite the new Forum mall in whitefield, this place comes with some great out door seating with an interesting take on food being served in renewable containers/clay vessels.

Ambience: (4/5) Very interesting outdoor seating and it’s not exactly on the road so there is lower amount of dust. The seating also feels cooler given the way there is ventilation from almost all sides. The colourful chairs also add a nice touch.

Food: (4/5) The butter milk in a bottle was a nice touch and ensured that it was nice and cool which heightens the flavours. We had the veg Hyderabadi Biriyani and the mutton biriyani. Both were made very well. The veg biriyani however felt a bit heavier on the masala, but it was still a great tasting dish. The mutton biriyani was made super well with the mutton being soft and the overall flavour being very good. A couple of the folks at the table so had the thali which was interestingly done since the main liquid toppings were placed in containers in the middle of the table making it great for people who prefer one of the toppings more. It also meant less wastage which is nice to see a place trying to do.

Summary: (4/5) An excellent option for good Andhra food in whitefield with an equally interesting ambience making it a great lunch or dinner place to try out. Kudos to the management for reducing wastage and using more recyclables which are...

It is one of the most underrated places in and around Whitefield. I have driven past this restaurant so many times without giving much of a notice. I tried this place last Sunday out of curiosity and was taken by surprise the moment I entered with my car inside. The mist coming out of well placed small pipes on top of the roof made the whole atmosphere mystic.

The food is well prepared in an open kitchen. Their non veg starters and curries are really good though the portion is small compared to other restaurants in the similar price range.

Try their Chilli Chicken(not at all the Chinese style, Indian spices in a thick gravy ), Chicken Malai Tikka and Chicken Roast in the starters. Chicken Tikka masala and Bhuna Gosht are good in curries.

They have variety of Draught beer available however mostly it is Kingfisher and Geist which is available.

I have deducted one star as there is a problem of Mosquitoes on the side tables, which i think restaurant can't do much about as they are open air.

Go and Try it, You may find a...

This place is good for an economical meetup over drinks.

Its more of an open air or garden style pub cum restaurant , so if you are going early before anyone else and particularly conscious about hygiene, may want to have to check your table for fine dust and getting them cleaned before you settle in.

They offer beer in both pitcher (1.5 L) and tower (3L) - tower is just the double of pitcher both in terms of volume & cost - so no much savings there.

There are smoking and non-smoking zones .

On the biryanis - go for the Kodi Biryani which is another name for the Chicken Dum Biryani . Better to avoid Boneless Chicken biryani.

And if you prefer a PAN after a heavy meal , you must try the regular Sweet Pan (the Kolkata style , NOT the Maghai one) at the pan/beeda stall near the exit (TIP : if you go in a car , better get your pan BEFORE taking your car out of the parking , as the exit is a very narrow lane and you will be blocking the way.)

Though parking is available for cars , it can get pretty congested...
