What people say, in short
Andhra Bhawan's state-house canteen on Ashoka Road receives repeated recommendations for its thali and non-vegetarian accompaniments. Diners praise the vegetarian meals, biryani and mutton dishes; fish fry also has enthusiastic supporters. Lunch crowds are the recurring trade-off: one regular considers the wait worthwhile, while another left because it was too crowded. These recommendations concern the named state bhawan, not unrelated restaurants called Andhra Canteen.
