The Dishes
The reviewer started with a bronze popcorn which didn't feel sufficient, so they quickly ordered an arite shape fry as well. The main orders included a Royal Seema special paneer which the reviewer called crazy good, followed by creamy chicken. Their best friend ordered something unspecified from the menu. The mutton leg suck was particularly impressive, and they also tried mutton pushka and mutton bang bang preparations. To complement the Rayalaseema cuisine, they ordered ragi sangthi (finger millet specialty) along with native chicken curry.
