Vishakhapatnam

Vizags love to eat simple meals flavored by tamarind and spiced by Guntur Chilly. Hyderabadi food is quite popular in the menus of the eateries in Visakhapatnam. But you will never see a Vizag ordering a Hyderabadi dish. The ethnic food although takes its unique flavor by only two ingredients: Tamarind and Guntur Chilies.

Vizag palette will always be a healthy mix of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods. Traditionally meals are served in banana leaves while sitting on the floor. A favorite delicacy of this region is Gongura Chutni or Pachedi, enjoyed with piping hot rice, ghee and chopped onions.

There are some very sensible things about this place: 1) The 'No Smoking Zone' sign that greets you near the entrance. We at VizagCityOnline.com are card-carrying life members of the anti-nicotine brigade and so found this a very welcome sign. We

As for the ambience and décor, well…, er…we don't know what to say. There is no theme, no colour scheme. Diffused lighting is mixed with spotlights; there are 'arty' miniatures on the walls as well as an amateurishly done wall mural of Dolphin's Nose. There are inviting sofas and chairs with upright backs. The colour Purple seems to be in favour here. There is purple lighting, purple strips on the menu card and the bill; they even have a drink called Purple Passion (grape juice and cola) and a dessert called Purple Riot (made of Beetroot we were told). The music that played in the background was instrumental oldies & jazz.

To get down to the business of food: The items on the menu are not too many which in our opinion is a good thing. Any restaurant claiming that they can serve any of 940 dishes from various cuisines in 15 minutes flat is going to make a hash of it.

There are just 5 items in the menu that cost more than Rs. 100 (but less than Rs. 115), Soups are between Rs. 25 & 30. The menu, consisting of Chinese and Indian dishes, is divided into Starters, Soups, Main Courses, (these three divided into vegetarian & non-vegetarian with the non-vegetarian further sub-divided into mutton, chicken and fish) Rotis, Rice Items and the dessert menu called the 'Grand Finale' with items such as phirnee, rabri, fruit salad (Rs. 40/-). The food is served on little burners that keep the food piping hot - another plus for this place.
