Ulavacharu Biryani
The restaurant's namesake: layered dum biryani finished with horse gram rasam, giving it an earthy, tamarind-tinged complexity that sets it apart from every other biryani in the South Bay
Gongura Preparations
Andhra-style dishes made with sorrel leaves — bracingly sour, deeply savory, and a reliable marker of a kitchen that knows its regional identity
Lunch Buffet
A rotating spread of Andhra curries, rice dishes, and breads that efficiently covers the cuisine's range — the right way to explore if you're new to this style
