Unlike typical restaurants that use basmati rice, they prepare it with Sona Masuri rice, giving it a distinctly different and superior taste. The egg manchuria deserves special mention as the restaurant prepares it in authentic Andhra style rather than the typical Chinese style found elsewhere, making it a must-try item. The butter palak was another highlight that impressed the reviewer so much they immediately added it to their favorite items list. The dish is described as incredibly creamy and mentally satisfying, with the reviewer noting it pairs exceptionally well with puris and rotis.
