#AnTeRa, a posh regional cuisine restaurant ( Andhra, Telangana and Rayalaseema) that started this month in upscale Jubilee Hills area is making noises around the city with its plush ambience, regional tastes and a bar to enjoy social drinking.
They are running houseful since their opening which shows that they have made quite a buzz in the market. They have huge seating capacity ( easily 100) with enough waiter table ratio, but once the place gets crowded both serving and kitchen staff getting confused with orders and serving. As this is their initial phase, hope things settle down for them and we would have a better picture of how well things would be handled. A quick look at the menu, it was evident that they wanted to keep their menu short and had limited options, given three regions to be covered.
We quickly ordered starters thotakura liver fry, nalgonda mutton fry, makka Jonna wada and royyala fry. Thota kura liver fry tasted good and spicy 😋. Makka jonna wada that came later also tasted near to what we get to eat at home. Non veg however wasn't near to being impressive as veg was. Prawns in Royyala fry was total chewy and dint go well on the table. Nalgonda mutton fry was incositent with meat cuts, wherein few tasted good and few chewy. Manager offered to compensate with couple dishes quail fry and popular Bangla kodi. While quail fry was decent and better one I've tasted among others, bangla kodi again was a flop. It was almost like it was dipped in oil without frying adequate amount and brought on to the table hurriedly. Oil was oozing out of the dish and the Crispy potato layer of the chicken was falling off as it was soggy and uncooked. We had to return the dish again and hit mains.
Avakaya pappu annam with pachi pulusu was very good and everyone on the table enjoyed the dish to the fullest. Pappu charu annam, another veg dish tasted homely. Mamsam ghee roast pulao in non veg was just about decent and felt pretty normal to us.
We did not want to order any more mains, as by then we dint want to take risk anymore and service was being delayed due to heavy crowd. We ordered jaggery ice cream with bobbatlu, leches and panacotta in desserts. Both jaggery ice cream and leches tasted very good. We even repeated leches as it tasted very good. Panacotta was Okish.
Their ambience is nice, they are trying to cope with naive staff and huge crowd, their veg food was good and their non veg was average at best. Our experience was pretty Okish, but would reserve my conclusion on this place until next visit, as the place is...

We had pre-booked for over 20 people, and right from the moment we made our reservation, the staff was incredibly attentive to every detail.

The food, of course, was the highlight of the evening. Each dish was served hot and fresh, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. The variety offered was impressive, catering to all tastes within our group, and everyone was thoroughly pleased with the quality of the food. The restaurant made sure to replenish dishes promptly and even provided additional servings without hesitation.
In addition to the outstanding service and delicious food, the ambience of the restaurant deserves special mention.

The decor was tasteful, and the seating arrangement allowed us to interact easily with one another.
One of the most memorable aspects of the evening was the special effort made by the restaurant to accommodate our cake-cutting celebration.
