Mandava's Bhojanam, Poly Clinic Road
10 people recommendvia r/vijayawada·14 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Mandava's Bhojanam on Poly Clinic Road is one of the most-recommended restaurants among Vijayawada locals, with two commenters praising its biryani and one saying the thaalis are excellent. One local names it their current favourite budget biryani spot. The caveats are real, though: one diner found portions small and prices a bit high, another warns the malai kofta is overly sweet, and a couple of recent visitors feel quality has slipped or been inconsistent — one of them calls the keema biryani a waste of money while calling the nalli biryani the best value, and another complains about noise on a Sunday afternoon.
