"Traditional Andhra Breakfast at AP Bhavan Andhra Pradesh Bhavan (or AP Bhavan), as the name suggests, offers traditional dishes from the state of Andhra Pradesh. AP Bhavan is absolutely packed on weekends with lines of 100+ people waiting for an authentic taste of thalis and biryani. The space is more like a canteen instead of restaurant and an unlimited thali will cost under $2/person. Biryani is served on Sundays, but visit by noon. There is very little elbow room past 1pm."
"Delhi’s favorite thali restaurant is a bustling, raucous affair that dishes out more than 3,000 plates a day. Andhra Bhavan brings home-style cooking from the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh — the home of some of the spiciest food in the country — to diners in the capital. Get a thali, which consists of rice, pooris (deep-fried flatbreads), and two kinds of lentils, along with fragrant sambhar (lentils cooked with vegetables) and the spicy tamarind soup known as rasam. Like other thali specialists, the restaurant offers unlimited vegetables, as well as chutneys made from beetroot, yam, and okra. But it’s the spicy, peppery fried lamb that’s essential. Go on a Sunday afternoon with an empty stomach (custom demands you eat several portions and finish everything on your plate) and the courage to wait in line. It’s well worth it.
