  2. Masala

    Masala does out-of-this-world Andhra, tandoori and Chinese. Try the chepa pulusu (Andhra-style fish; Rs. 100). It is located near Sampath Vinayaka Temple.

    An unassuming little place with really good, really hot Andhra dishes. Meals (Rs. 40/100 for veg/non-veg) and biryani are top-notch.
