Follow me on Instagram (Lizbethology) for more foodventures.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly place that serves authentic Bangalorean and Andhra food, then this is it. The staff are friendly and knowledgable and they also serve a variety of dosas and uttappams with different toppings.

They have a spacious well-lit outdoor dining area with coolers and a standard indoor one.

I was here a few days ago for dinner and tried quite a variety. We started off with fresh Watermelon, Orange and Mango Juices. The watermelon was refreshing though for the mango, a riper one could have been used.

Starters were Banshankeri Chicken Dry, a typical Bangalorean dish, Mutton Rara Ghost and Cheesy Mushroom. All these had different interesting flavours and what stood out for me was the Banshankeri Chicken. These were beautifully presented too.

For mains, we tried Mutton Donne Biryani and Grand Swathi's Special Boneless Chicken Biryani. I must say I'm not specially fond of mutton but I absolutely loved the mutton donne biryani. The rice was so flavourful and the meat was tender, I'm definitely going back for this. The chicken biryani was the usual type.

We also tried Mushroom Dosa and Keema Dosa from their Dosa Menu. The mushroom dosa is an absolute musttry!! Looks ordinary but tasted amazing. And it was really spicy:) A small tip, try the pineapple slice after having the dosa as it'll cool you down:) The Keema dosa was presented beautifully and temptingly with a dollop of butter on each slice. Taste was realy good, though the seasoning could be taken down a notch. Ended the night with some piping hot black tea with lemon.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience for me as I got to taste some Bangalorean and Andhra food at reasonable rates. I can't wait to go there again to try their...

They have a variety of dishes and I must highlight that both the Quality and Flavours are tempting to go back. They also have good portion size. The points I have to highlight are their spice level, which you need to inform them to keep low as the food tend to be on the spicier side. Another aspect is their service which at times tend to relax and get too slow. Staying close by I used to frequent this place atleast once/twice a week but now I stick to ordering at home. I do enjoy the discount via Careem although I strongly feel that the portion size is considerably minimized when dining. Another aspect which I was surprised is that they charge for delivery bag, I only realized this when I picked up a home delivery and was surprised to see this aspect. How else would you deliver food? Felt they should be smart to Incorporate that minimalist fees in their cost somehow. Their Biryani, Andhra chicken and fish fries are delicious. The chapati’s with any dish are a...

DONNE BIRIYANI BENGALURU STYLE IS LIT 🤩

I typically don’t need much convincing to go out for A MEAL, especially not on a Friday!! Coz it’s only day I get in a week to rest from my Job, here in Dubai.

However, last Friday, I had mixed feelings as I made my way to one of my favourite restaurants, GRAND SWATHI, Al Karama, Dubai.

As we entered the location and took our seats, The server, clad in a mask and gloves, handed us menus. He asked if we wanted disposable cups and plates for our food which we accepted, assuming this was the most sanitary option. And we ordered for DONNE BIRIYANI.

Donne biryani is one of the favourites NAATI style BIRIYANI in Bengaluru, Karanataka. It exactly tested same like in my native. Finally after 4 years staying away from my State, I am able to get that authentic foods.

This restaurant is new in the city. But, Thanks for treating us more than we expected!!

IT WAS WORTH STEPPING OUT...
