   Could improve quantity but that’s how much you get in a top notch South Indian restaurant I guess 😂😂😂

   We went to celebrate my friend's birthday at Andhra Bhavan last week, and the ambience and staff were amazing—very helpful and polite. We've visited this restaurant three times before, but unfortunately, this time the food was not up to par. It was oily, and the taste was disappointing. I’ve always preferred this restaurant for its thali and great taste, but it seems the quality has declined. I would highly recommend that the restaurant manager look into this issue. Overall, though, the experience was still enjoyable. I had ordered Maharaja Thali for 40 Euro which disappointed me. Thanks

   Really great menu with extensive choice of vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Dosas and potato filling was excellent and authentic.

   Great atmosphere - the restaurant was virtually full. Staff very friendly. I had the veg thali. All of the curries, rasam & sambhar were very good. The papad was a little bendy but that was the only quibble. Lots of Indian customers, which is a good sign. Gulab jamun for dessert - delish! Returned the following week & had the vada with sambhar and the Andhra chicken curry. Both also were excellent.

   We visited this restaurant on 01/12/2024. Having been a regular at their Marlborough Street branch, I noticed a significant difference in the food quality and overall experience, possibly due to a new menu launched with the opening of this branch. Food: 1.Chicken 65 (Starter): It was nice but lacked the signature curry leaves present in the original version at the Marlborough Street branch. Despite the difference, it tasted nice. Onions served on the side were really bitter. Masala Dosa (Main): The dosa itself was fine, but it was disappointing that one of the red chutneys is no longer served. Hyderabadi Dum Biryani: This used to be incredibly flavorful in their other branch, but this time it lacked the depth and tasted more like pulao. Our friends used Kadai curry gravy to make the rice more edible in taste. Chicken Kadai Curry: This was the most disappointing dish of the night. The portion size was halved compared to the Marlborough Street branch, which is underwhelming for a €20 main dish. The taste had also changed drastically, leaning towards sweetness and featuring bell peppers, which was a surprising and unwelcome departure from the spicy and rich flavors it used to have. It wasnt even enough serving for a single person. Biryani 65: Given the small portion of the Chicken Kadai, we ordered this to supplement our meal. Thankfully, it was flavorful and spicy, with the chicken complementing the rice well. Tea: Unfortunately, the tea was a major letdown. It had an overcooked taste, overly sweetened with tea whiteners. No one in our group could finish it. Overall Experience: While I have always enjoyed the Marlborough Street branch, this visit to the Abbey Street location was underwhelming. The food quality, portion sizes, and service did not meet expectations, and the loud atmosphere added to the discomfort. I won’t be returning to this branch, but I’ll definitely revisit Marlborough Street, as it has consistently provided great experiences.

    Wonderful South Indian food. Lots of choice and plenty of options for vegetarians and coeliacs. Allergens clearly marked on the menu.
