1)It looks this place is the only alternative for hungry stomachs in the entire delhi. 2)oh my god, this place is the only choice for Andhra,telangana, Tamil,kerala and north Indian people. I see a lot of muslims also enjoying the food here . 3) unfortunately both the restaurants ,ground as well as the first floor are FALLING SMALL TO ACCOMMODATE THE HUGE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS,hence we see a lot of people waiting for their turn. 4) I request the government to look into the matter for building a new block with modern facilities. 5) Another major drawback is there is no separate seating arrangement for vegetarians. Same staff, same place,same tables,same glasses,spoons,etc..Hence, PURE VEGETARIANS EXPERIENCE A GREAT UNCOMFORT HERE. 6) The ambience is NOISY,very difficult to move between the tables. 7) The place is very UNHYGIENIC , they have installed wall mounted fan inside the wash room..can you imagine? 8) The management has employed many supervisors and several helpers and the service is very quick. NONE OF THESE STAFF ARE HAVING THE BASIC TRAINING IN HOTEL MANAGEMENT COURSES. 9) Unfortunately there is no place to keep even their luggages, I saw all their belongings are lying outside open to sky. This is the reason I am deeply worried about the hygiene of food preparations. 10) I therefore request the management to think of providing sufficient space for the customers,bifurcating vegetarian and non-vegetarian sections, employing sufficiently educated staff and maintain pleasant atmosphere for the well dining of huge customers in the capital city of...
Read moreLocation wise, nearest metro station to Andhra Bhavan Canteen is Janpath. Precisely exit gate number 4. On foot, it will take 20-25 mins. Autowala may charge around INR 50-80. Andhra Bhavan Canteen are Telangana Bhavan Canteen are the same. This canteen is managed by Sai Caterers Andhra Bhavan Canteen have two entrances. However, commoners are allowed to enter only from one entrance after a normal checking at the check post.
We visited Andhra Bhavan Canteen at the late evening. The menu for the vegetarians had Thali (cost (INR 170) included a long list of variety: Dal (that was too yum) Betroot Chana Subzi (absolutely different) Peanut Chutney (yellow in color, tasted fine) Mix Veg Curry (which I felt was totally ghiya) Rice (that was called special rice, quantity, just 2 spoons) Curd (if needed more, charged INR 20) Papad (if needed more, charged INR 20) Roti (small and soft) Rasam (had lots of chilly) Sambhar (that was nice) 11.Kesar Rawa (sweet dish, too less in quanity) This was the unlimited thali at Andhra Bhavan Canteen. Everything could be taken as many times, one can! However, curd, papad, kesar rawa if required has additional charges.
Every table at the Andhra Bhavan Canteen had 3 distinguished items: Gunpowder (this made us laugh so much) Desi Ghee (garam garam roti pe, waah!) Imli Chutne (not at all good) Service was absolutely delight. They kept refilling the thali with warm food. We were super hungry and...
Read moreCanteen of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Bhawan. Much like renowned fine dining restaurant and cafes, it too has a long waiting queue, especially on weekends. So apart from a good appetite, you also need to go with some amount of patience to fight the crowd and get a table. The canteen has a token system in place, wherein you first need to place your order, get your token, wait for your turn and then head inside to finally enjoy your meal The two-floored canteen is basic with no-frills, but you can sense the seriousness of the business of serving food to the enormous crowd of people the moment you step in. It also makes you wonder that there has to be something special here, or it is impossible to find such a mad rush in a place as simple as this canteen. Hats off to the management for doing such a great job and being perfectly in sync. The service is very prompt and your order hardly takes time to reach you once you get your table. There's no dilly-dally. You eat and move on to let others in. The menu is limited, and the most "in-demand" item from the list includes the South Indian Thali. They also have a few non-vegetarian side dishes throughout the week. If you are an early riser, you can also head there to try their breakfast meal, which comprises a piece each of idli, vada and dosa along with...
