MOTOFOODIE

Call it the promise of affordable meals, lure of spicy biryani or the homely style of cooking, an Andhra Mess is always on the radar of a foodie.

One such gem of an Andhra Mess is the Tharuni Andhra Mess in Domlur, Bengaluru – a family run business started 8 years ago by Mr. Rama Rao, with the food and kitchen under the supervision of his wife – lending the homely taste to the food.

In fact most of the such establishments in Bengaluru are family-run, where the owner and other workers consume the same food served to customers and hence a high-standard of hygiene as well.

Tharuni Andhra Mess serves delicious lunch and dinner in vegetarian and non-veg (chicken & egg only) fare. It is their Chicken Biryani and Andhra meals that stand-out, followed by chicken curry and egg-preparations such as bhurji, omelet etc.

Must Eat:

• Chicken Biryani: Delicious and spicy chicken biryani with raitha and curry
• Andhra Meals: It’s the veg meal that commands a short nap after – simple, limited, yummy and best relished when served hot. The meals comprise of chapati, palya/subzi, chutney, white rice, dal pappu, spiced buttermilk, sambar, friyums/papad etc

PS: Add a spicy Egg Bhurji to complete the meal 😀
