    If you are maas food lover then go for it However, if you are tired and you are expecting to have chill interior then please think twice before going to eat Its a total mass hotel with mass crowd dont expect a 5 star hotel or normal hotel welcoming because its a mass hotwl you need to take a token and give at counter and then take your plate thats it. Goods: Food taste Bad: Poor management No Ac As it is a mass hotel dont expect clealiness Thats it hope you like my review, dont forget to like, it will others reach my review.

    I don't know what special in this biryani. Today I took 3 Basmati rice pulav(each 130rs) for parcel. There is no taste at all. I felt like that I had low quality basmati rice pulav(looks like white rice only) with tasteless chicken fry. Total money was waste.

    After Doing a lots of Recon with the local people ended up at Pandhalapaka Apparao and Sons pulav hotel as most of the locals commonly said this name with a clause about the Ambience. Took the help of google maps and reached there by 1.00 pm to see the place thronging with people for parcels and dine in and cooking simultaneously under process outside the hotel . Quickly took a token for Basmati leg piece pulav and a soft Drink, entered the dine in area which is a small area with very normal metal chairs and tables . Two persons are taking the token at a time from all the persons and after 10 mins they are serving the customers at a time . The pulav is Bagara rice which comes with a huge leg piece with Skin ( Has been many days since I ate chicken with Skin ) and a small piece with accompaniments of Chicken Salna and Raitha . The pieces has a dry gravy which u can mix up with rice . The Pulav rice , Piece and salna everything is mildly spiced yet full of flavors. The quantity is very much worth for the money and enough for a good eater. Totally a good experience if Ambience and cleanliness is not a issue . This place is definitely not Hygienic and not for Families. Would suggest a Take Away

    Pandalapaka Biryani centre is located. I saw many youtube videos about this place and at the same time I saw many negative reviews. So i was sceptical about visiting this place. But accidentally i got some work in Rajamahendravaram and i visited alone. So i thought let's give it a shot, if it's bad then mostly i will loose 130rs. Food: I had their famous fry piece biryani which comes in two variants. One variant comes with basmati rice and another is normal rice. Biryani was good, not like mind blowing or something but definitely it's good. But i was disappointed with raita which was like water. Other than that they provide you as many lemon pieces as you want. Initially i ordered chicken joint also but it's not yet ready at that time. Ambience: It's better not to talk about ambience because this place is famous for takeaway. So there are very less tables for dining. It's not air conditioned and if you are claustrophobic don't visit this place. This restaurant is basically situated in underground. So overall i want to say it's not legendary in terms of food as shown in YouTube videos but definitely affordable to common man.

    Had basmati chicken pulav which tasted good and felt value for money. Rice is medium spicy and I personally loved Chicken pieces when compared to pulav rice. Most people prefer to take away theor parcels as ambience is not so good to eat food. But I felt eating there saves your time and energy than standing in long queue lines for take away's!!

    Worst biryani ever .....with worst quality of food and the meat "was not even dressed properly.... I think it's better to eat in rv restaurant or sri kanya.... I gave only 1 star because without giving star rating this ggl was not allowing 2 give comments about this restaurant..... ●Both rv and sri kanya restaurants locations were in Google maps ....

    Different biryani From usually we eat , taste is good , chicken curry quantity is more than rice .Nice aromatic smell from biryani and well cooked chicken fry totally makes biryani worth it ( 130 Rupees only ). Must try biryani in Rajamandry style....

    The taste of meat is good but the rice is bland. Don't have great expectations and you will like the food. The seating is not that bad but It's better to have a takeout

  • 1/5 gayatri c. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s cheap but I guess you get what you pay. Tastes good but quality is awful. Ordered for extra chicken as there are less pieces in biryani but they ended up giving WASTE (organs, skin and bones with no meat). And forget about the raita and salan. Literally water! If you’re someone who eats a lot of rice, you’re good to go.

  • 4/5 Ramu N. 1 year ago on Google
    Good biryani, tastes a little different and good. It's a very famous birayani eatery and quite popular. The taste for biryani rice comes from the coconut milk as the locals say. But honestly it's worth the hype.

  • 4/5 srikanth k. 1 year ago on Google
    You can't expect more form them.its just ok and dining was not comfortable for family.only mass people can enjoy there atmosphere.take away was best option

  • 5/5 PLAYBOY y. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Chintalapudi V. 1 year ago on Google
    Food taste good Ambience is not so good Worth for money

  • 5/5 V S. 9 months ago on Google
    Taste:- If you are a foodie you will love the unique and iconic taste of Fry Biryani. If you are a just a normal eater you may not like the taste. Quality and Quantity is sufficient for one person. When I visited the hotel by seeing the crowd I thought they were distributing the biryani for free but later i came to understand that they are crazy about the biryani and they we’re waiting to purchase. Dine-In is easy if you are 2-4ppl. Ambience:- If you are with family prefer TakeAway. Desi and Local Mantainance. Budget :- Pocket friendly price.

  • 4/5 Rajesh 1 year ago on Google
    The biryani is taste is ok .the rice cooked well and flavourful.but chicken is to dry chicken fry expected some gravy with that.overall food good. Dining is so crowded.

  • 3/5 RAJIV C. 1 year ago on Google
    Started eating this Biryani since 2012, it's taste is reducing year by year 😇 Still you can give a try for unique taste Don't expect too much from Biryani and ambiance.....

  • 2/5 Sreenivas G. 3 months ago on Google New
    Not as great as hyped. We took a take away as the dine in was small and much crowded. Chicken was spicy and hard and Pulao was okay. Overall didn't meet the expectation.
