venkatadri vantillu

not sufficient chutny. further thedosabecoming small and taking rs.100.

i placed the order at 10.42am and in the kot bill which u guys sent to me it was printed at 10.30....u guys sent me some other person's (steward) masaladosato me.. i asked for cutlery too which was not sent to me.. the food too was cold.. before sending it to customers atleast check properly if it is for right customer or not.. very disappointed.

it's a well known place since some years. the service can be improved. for one the guy at the counter is discouraging people to order items which one want saying it will take time, indirectly asking them to just order items that are readily available and leave asap. spongedosaused to be a speciality here back in the day. but now it's just oily. overall it's still value for money. but please bring back the old quality.

i was returning from bheemili beach and decided to stop here for breakfast. the menu isn't lavish but has a variety including meals, bhajjis and more. most items on the menu are priced under rs 100 and hence vnekatadri vantillu is a pocket-friendly place. my order consisted of idli sambhar, upma, masaladosaand their famous ghee karam sponge dosa. the total bill was less than 300 for 3 people which is extremely cheap.

once inside, the setup is extremely basic. run mostly by women, the place is well maintained. about 10-12 tables and that's it. the kitchen is open, so you can get a view of what's happening inside. starting with the upma - it was good. perfect consistency, the way i like it. in hyderabad, the upma is more watery but this was perfect.

masaladosawas quite different from what we have here in hyderabad. the karam chutney was missing - in hyderabad, you'll find this red paste on every masaladosathat you order. it was crisp, yet soft, reminded me somewhat of the dose from bengaluru. coming to the icon sponge dosa, it was a unique take on the set dosa. two pieces of fluffy and airy setdosasprinkled with karam podi (spiced powder) and topped with a generous amount of ghee. the podi wasn't spicy, rather it was flavourful. the mixture of podi with ghee elevated the taste. it's quite a unique preparation and having it for the first time, i'll surely recommend you to try it when you are in vizag.

so plan your day such that you witness a gorgeous sunrise followed by breakfast at venkatadri vantillu. for a detailed review, check out my blog post on socialmaharaj.com
