Reddy Andhra Mess Thulasi Mess — Restaurant in Zone 8 Anna Nagar

I am totally unsure if all those who have highly rated this place actually tasted the food or just randomly updated their reviews and ratings. Though I consistently ensure to share my genuine reviews on food joints especially, as it's a matter of health and ultimately the reason behind our existence, last night I learnt to not go by the review and ratings as it was totally misguiding.

Parking could be an issue, even for two wheelers because this place is highly sought after by online orders thus the agents who come to collect will occupy at least about half the little available space right outside...

I recently visited this Andhra mess and had a good overall experience. The food is definitely the highlight – flavorful, authentic, and worth a 4-star rating. If you’re craving traditional Andhra meals, this place won’t disappoint.

The atmosphere is modest and functional, deserving around 3 stars. It’s a self-service setup, so don’t expect full service. Also, the dining area is a bit compact, especially during peak hours, which can make it feel slightly crowded.

That said, if you’re looking for tasty Andhra food at a reasonable price and don’t mind a simple setting, this place is a...
