If you are craving Andhra food, you must visit Amaravathi Restaurant, a 20-minute walk from the hotel. They are known for authentic Andhra dishes such as roast chicken and mutton gongura (mutton with sorrel leaves). My must-haves here are brain masala and mutton keema dosa - the spicy and juicy keema wrapped in crunchy dosa along with the coconut chutney makes for a heavenly combo!
