Andhra cuisine has many splendours. When we think about Andhra, we think of red hot chillies but that's not what Andhra is all about! Andhra also has exotic delicacies from Nizam's times to offer.

Kothmir Murg is one such delicacy. The flavour, taste and the nutritional content are all well balanced to give us full satisfaction of fine dining.
