Came here for a work dinner and I highly recommend (just be ware of spicyness) You can definitely tell there are some new restaurant growing pains (ordering wine bottles was kind of awkward and not well organized but I'm sure they'll figure it out soon) More importantly though, the food. Here's what we had: 1. Nalgonda Mutton Fry - delicious! 2. Guntur Karam Kodi Kebab - literally so tender and so tasty and absolutely fantastic! 3. Kodi Seekulu on sticks - also very tasty and tender but with everything else this didn't stand out 4. Lentil & Vegetable lollipop - for being vegetarian it was incredibly tasty 5. Pachimirchi Kodi pulao - I didn't get a chance to take a pic but also incredibly tasty! 6. Ended with a combo dessert which was fantastic. Honestly kudos to the chef here because I thoroughly enjoyed the food! read more

This place was on our list for a long time. And we finally made it with a lot of anticipation. We went as a large party of 17 people and it was buffet only. Weekends is buffet only for lunch. It was a good option for us as we are a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters, kids and adults. This allows us to taste many dishes without having to order a lot of items. They had setup a large table on one side of the restaurant and this gave us enough privacy to be by ourselves. The service was good but they were refilling the Naans on request. But they cleared our plates and filled water promptly. The food was a good mix and all of us liked it. There were some issues and we pointed it out to the manager and he was appreciative of the feedback. He even offered to give us some samplers to take home. We were already full and so declined. We would definitely go back again if we are in the area. read more

Wish they had put as much effort into the food as they did into the name, which mimics a well-known Indian restaurant chain. Went in for the Friday lunch buffet and was seated right away, which was a good start. Unfortunately, the buffet selection was just average and did not feel worth the $24.99 price for a weekday lunch. The flavors were inconsistent, with some dishes tasting fine while others were bland, so the overall experience with the food was mixed. On top of that, water was not served until we specifically asked, which made the service feel inattentive. Overall, the visit felt underwhelming for the cost, and this is not a place I'd rush back. read more

AnTeRA has the potential but fails in the most important way possible in a restaurant - taste:). I don't want to be critical, but it truly didn't make me feel wowed! We tried a bunch of appetizers - whole fish that looked delicious but tasted meh! The wings were the highlight and the chapali kebab got the "I'm hungry" and hence I liked it more review. We also tried the kebabs - guntur and malai, both were okay. Their food comes within minutes of ordering on a weekday. I'd recommend the Sheila ka jawani cocktail and pachimirchi kodi pulao, if you're interested in trying something different. Biryani wouldn't recommend. Ambience and service is top notch! read more

The timings on yelp say 8 am, and there are advertisements on the building saying they offer breakfast.. but at 9 am they're still closed.

Sorry for the long delay in a review, but had the chance to stop by on Christmas Day since I saw them offering a Christmas buffet for lunch. I stopped by around 12 and they were open for a bit, think they opened around 1130, but they were still setting up a handful of dishes. So I had to wait another 5-10 mins before they were done setting up in the most part. The place itself is very clean and high end in appearance and the server was pretty friendly and were pretty attentive when I was getting low on my water. The food itself was pretty good overall, their offerings were very flavorful and had good flavors to it imo. A slight knock on them since some of the food even though I was the first person in was only warm and not hot. Anyways, I was pretty surprised on how much they offered and the holiday pricing for just meant too bad. Not too sure if I would eat here if they didn't offer a buffet or any sales or discounts, since they do appear to be in the higher end in terms of Indian restaurants, but I'll keep my eyes out for their advertisements on Facebook. Overall, pretty satisfied with their establishment and would eat here again if something catches my eye. read more

One star is for the friendly staff and ambiance. I came across this restaurant on Instagram and tried my luck, and I would not recommend this restaurant. They named all the menu items with Andhra examples, like Andhra Kodi Seekulu, but it tasted like a regular kebab. What we tried: 1. Andhra Kodi Seekulu - 4/5 - It is a regular chicken kebab. 2. Naatu Naatu Wings - 3/5 - Nothing naatu here. The gravy is sweet, but it tastes good. I was expecting spicy by the name. Here comes the disappointment from the main course: 1. Pachi Mirchi Kodi Pulao - 1/5 - There is no trace of spicy or green chilli flavor. The rice just looks green and is very bland. The chicken pieces in the pulao taste the same without any spices. 2. Charminar Chicken Pulao - 1/5 - They should have just named this as dum biryani. This is even more bland, and the chicken pieces are not hot near the bone. Definitely, this batch must be from the afternoon. We could not even eat at least half of it. Sorry, I don't have anything against this restaurant. I also understand every person's taste buds are different. But the main course is an absolute disappointment and I have wasted money. read more

I wish i would give 0 stars. Avoid this restaurant like the plague! We went for a Sunday lunch buffet at 12:30 PM Half of the restaurant seemed empty, but we still had to wait till 1 PM. I should've skipped after looking at the vegetarian options , but decided to give a chance, which I regretted soon after. From a service standpoint, hands down the worst service I've ever had in a restaurant. Forget about the food at the buffet section, even our water was not getting refilled. When I asked the lead host/waiter if the food was getting refilled at the buffet section, he gestured with his hands asking us to wait in a very rude way. I lost all appetite before the food was refilled. There were no desserts as well. While paying the bill , I tried to have a polite conversation with the lead host , to tell him what I experienced, he said too many people came at the same time , so food was getting finished quickly, while the reality was half the restaurant was empty. He was not even acknowledging the conversation and handed us our check. They post attractive reels on instagram, but it's a joke.All in all 55$ gone down the drain read more

Go only for ambience and presentation and not for food Food is very sub par compared to any Indian restaurant in Bay Area We ordered Kodi seekulu - uncooked masala and very spicy Rayalaseema fish fry - not well cooked and who would put idly spice powder on fish Pachimirchi pulav - It's not pulav . It's some green paste mixed in rice Please do not go here unless for ambience and presentation read more

No food after 1 hr of wait. Not even starters. I wld give 0 rating if it was allowed read more

I was here for a birthday celebration. There's a hype about this place and its name being the combination of Andhra, Telangana and Rajamudri or so. The food was okay, I didn't feel anything exceptional. Service was okay, there was a big group who came before us, seemed like an office party and we were kind of neglected. We had to ask and remind our order as the birthday girl had to leave early and so we asked if they do a birthday thing, which usually every restaurant does and the staff's response was no, we don't do that and we have dessert but no candle etc, didn't give a vibe that I want to return to this place. Moreover they are very expensive. We ordered our non-alcoholic drinks, one or two appetizers and the main food we ordered was also limited since the appetizer made us full as they provided a complimentary corn tart kinda dish as well. I usually visit a place again for food, their service but nothing excited me about this place. The ambience is cool, you can take pictures. read more

Great Ambience, Service and Great food. Ordered paneer bang bang, guntur Karam kodi kabab for appetizer. Both are delicious. Ordered Butter paneer ki shashlik with naan/roti,mughlai chicken biryani for main course. Everything is excellent and flavorful read more

The ambience and food was amazing. A great place for hosting parties. All the forages we had was cooked to perfection. My special mention to mutton Nihari. The reason for 3 stars is the quantity is less and prices are more compared to other Indian restaurants. If you want to spend a little 30% extra then this is the place to go. read more

Tandoori Kebabs were served cold. Cause of that - Didn't even order the main course. Drinks were so-so, ordered Old Fashioned. Was a group of 5 guys looking to have a good time with drinks and food. It could be that we ordered North Indian dishes at a Telugu-centric place. Don't think will come back again read more

Relatively new restaurant in the Tri Valley. I got really attracted to the unique dishes (at least, going by the names) that they had on their menu. Visited this place on a weekday evening with my family. There was a large corporate group that was there at the time when we were there. There were running thin on the staff. They completely focused on serving the corporate group and made us wait for 45+ min before they could get what we ordered. This isn't their avg wait time though. The server didn't appear to care for us during this long wait time. Food quality is good (like that of most places), portions are relatively small. And it is priced high for what they have to offer. To me, this place is a good for one visit. read more

1 star for poor communication. The breakfast buffet timings are inaccurate--we arrived at 10 AM and found the restaurant closed. It's not even clear if a buffet is offered at all. The lack of correct and updated information online is unacceptable and misleading. read more

I tried this place couple times recently and loved their food. They have specialty chicken and mutton recipes that one usually do not find in other Indian restaurants. Their food is on the spicier side, I usually let the server know spice level I want so it was not an issue here. Their ambiance is top quality. I wish they had tap/draft beer option. Service was prompt, staff was very friendly and attentive. read more

Good food and very courteous service. I have already tried it a couple of times and have been very happy.

Whatever is listed in the website menu says not available on their online toast tab order. I called them for Soy Kola Urundai and they said it is discontinued - pathetic for a new business! read more

Great food and service. Love their biryani's and railway style dishes. Nice interiors add to the experience and plenty of space to eat at leisure read more

Very Bad experience! Went with my wife and kid after shopping at New india bazar. They asked us to be in a dress code and wont allow shorts for my wife, boys shorts are okay but girls shorts wont be allowed. Not sure what rouge mentality they have and they didnt realize its america where they have opened this restaurant. If I could give negative for staff behaviour I would. I suggest people to mind their clothes before entering this negative vibe place. WORST EXPERIENCE in my life. read more

I ordered the spicy garlic naan and butter chicken to try. I really didn't like the naan -- it tasted like any frozen naan, thick and chewy. The butter chicken tasted more like tamarind chicken and wasn't good at all. Definitely a waste of money. read more

The food is of poor quality, improperly packaged, tastes bad, and lacks proper seasoning or flavor balance. Additionally, the presentation is unappealing, and the ingredients seem substandard, contributing to an overall disappointing dining experience. read more

Bad food and not flavorful at all . The appetizer we order was cold and no salt. Service was bad

Food can be a lot better and this place can't survive with this quality and taste of food.

Great ambiance and appetizers(portions are small but I guess that's what makes it "Fine dining"). But the service and main course were hugely disappointing. Took them 20min to get the main course after appetizers. Biryani doesn't come with Salan and it was super bland, Butter Naan had no butter and were super thick. Please DO miss ordering stone cold Gulab Jamun. Not worth the price. Friendly staff though. read more

I really liked the food. I was worried that it would be very spicy, but it had the perfect spice level for my taste. I especially liked the Pachimirchi Kodi Pulao. The prices are slightly higher, but you get what you pay for. This place has a nice, upscale feel to it. I hope they maintain the quality. read more

Poor taste and over priced.. I had high expectations going in, but unfortunately, this place didn't live up to the hype. The South Indian dishes were quite underwhelming in flavor--lacking the authenticity and punch that you'd expect. Even core dishes like pulaov ( do not dare to order Pachi mirchi kodi pulaov) and biryani's felt bland and uninspired. What made it worse was the pricing. For the portion sizes and the quality of food served, it felt significantly overpriced. I wouldn't mind paying a premium for great food, but here, the value just wasn't there. Service and ambiance were decent, but ultimately, the food is what matters most--and this visit missed the mark. I hope they revisit their recipes and pricing strategy. South Indian cuisine deserves better representation read more
