Just a ordinary tiffin place . Nothing great. Chutneys and sambar tastes average. Idlly just okay , bajji it’s not great. Poori good 4/5.
Best here pesarattu. It’s really l taste good. No all purpose flour added.Its tasted real flavour of pesarattu.

I was returning from Bheemili beach and decided to stop here for breakfast. The menu isn't lavish but has a variety including meals, bhajjis and more. Most items on the menu are priced under Rs 100 and hence Vnekatadri Vantillu is a pocket-friendly place. My order consisted of Idli Sambhar, Upma, Masala Dosa and their famous Ghee Karam Sponge Dosa. The total bill was less than 300 for 3 people which is extremely cheap.

Once inside, the setup is extremely basic. Run mostly by women, the place is well maintained. About 10-12 tables and that's it. The kitchen is open, so you can get a view of what's happening inside. Starting with the Upma - it was good. Perfect consistency, the way I like it. In Hyderabad, the upma is more watery but this was perfect.

Masala dosa was quite different from what we have here in Hyderabad. The karam chutney was missing - in Hyderabad, you'll find this red paste on every Masala dosa that you order. It was crisp, yet soft, reminded me somewhat of the dose from Bengaluru. Coming to the icon sponge dosa, it was a unique take on the set dosa. Two pieces of fluffy and airy set dosa sprinkled with karam podi (spiced powder) and topped with a generous amount of ghee. The podi wasn't spicy, rather it was flavourful. The mixture of podi with ghee elevated the taste. It's quite a unique preparation and having it for the first time, I'll surely recommend you to try it when you are in Vizag.

So plan your day such that you witness a gorgeous sunrise followed by breakfast at Venkatadri Vantillu. For a detailed review, check out my blog post on socialmaharaj.com
