If you go by the popularity stakes, RR has it all, three successful outlets in Jubilee Hills, Ameerpet, besides the Lakdi-ka-Pul one. But be warned, if you own a delicate digestive system, unused to the spicy and fiery-hot cuisine of the Rayalaseema region of AP. The thalis (vegetarian and non-vegetarian) are representative enough of RR's repertoire, especially as they come with a huge serving of Ragi Sankati, (that gooey dumpling made of rice and millets, with a neutral taste), had with a dollop of ghee, which helps flush down the hot and spicy gravies of the accompanying curries. Gongura Mamsam (mutton) remains a favourite, and so does Natu Kodi Pulusu (country chicken curry), Chapala (fish) Pulusu and Peethala (crab) Pulusu. However, an Andhra staple, Bommidayala Pulusu (river fish curry) wasn't available at both outlets, even while being listed on the menu! Try the Jonna (jowar) Rotis, they add good fibre to your system, while being crunchy and tasty too. There are also the usual Andhra pulaos, Natu Kodi, (country chicken), mutton, prawns and fish. Vegetarians have limited choices, but do try the Ulava Charu with plain steamed rice, its an experience! Also, the Gatti Venkaya Kura (stuffed brinjals curry), Palak Pappu, are good choices. The ambience, differs from outlet to outlet, although all are bound by one thing, a degree of busyness, but we found the Jubilee Hills the most contemporary and pleasant.

As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I noticed that it was full on a Weekday noon! That had to say something about the restaurant. My expectations were high and I blindly ordered whatever the Manager there recommended, RR Special Prawns and Chicken pulao, lovely! The food was served hot in quick 20 minutes and the taste was delightful! I have nothing bad to say about the restaurant but for the ambiance. Which I completely understand, because their top priority was quality of food and service, which was brilliant.

I was looking for a different kind of south Indian restaurant. I had enough of the idly dosa’s and it was time to explore the cuisine. A friend recommended Rayalaseema Ruchulu for the variety it displays in its menu, and true he was. I had never even heard of most of the dishes but the waiters were patient and enthusiastic enough to explain the preparations and recommend the specialties. So I tried the Andhra style Pulao which I felt was better than most of the biryani varieties available in the city, along with Naatu Kodi Iguru which blew my mind away. Awesome food and brilliant service. The ambience was nothing extravagant but it fit the bill and the overall experience was of top quality.

Delicious Andhra Food
From the entrance of the restaurant, we noted it is quite with welcoming staff. Food variety is extensive, most of the food on their menu looked pretty tempting. We definitely satisfied with “Delicious Andhra Food” (what we have tried). The ambience is refreshing, staff was polite and attentive.
