ONO Keiichi, the Ambassador of Japan, posted a video of himself enjoying biryani at Andhra Pradesh Bhavan in Delhi. He wrote, “Tried eating biryani by hand — following my Indian friends. Like sushi, it tastes even better when eaten by hand. I feel I’ve come a little closer to my friends!” And honestly, we agree; biryani always tastes better when eaten by hand. Even more so when it is from the iconic Andhra Pradesh Bhavan.
This Andhra restaurant near India Gate in New Delhi takes you away from the city’s chaos and into the comfort of a quiet, old home. This is not a place for fancy meals. You come here for home-style food and slow, comforting moments. If you are craving real South Indian flavours, this place deserves a spot on your list. The food is prepared using traditional methods, Indian spices, rich textures, and proper home-style seasoning.
