    Andhra Bhavan is a really amazing restaurant. As an Indian who’s been here for around five or six months, this is the first time I’ve truly smelled and tasted food that felt completely authentic and just like home. The whole experience honestly felt like sitting at home and enjoying a proper Indian meal. The moment I walked in, I was super excited because the aroma of the food was so strong and comforting. It instantly reminded me of restaurants back in India — that familiar smell of chutney, sambar, and freshly prepared food that you immediately recognize. It’s a non-veg restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious. The tandoori chicken was outstanding — seriously so good. We also tried the biryani, which was amazing, and the thali ended up being one of my favorites because it had such a great variety of both veg and non-veg dishes all in one meal. One thing I enjoyed the most was the Indian music they played, especially the Telugu songs. If you’re someone who loves Tollywood music, this place is definitely a vibe. You can just go there, eat peacefully, enjoy the atmosphere, vibe with your friends, and feel completely comfortable throughout. Another thing I genuinely loved was that they never compromise on the taste. Around Belfast, if you try many other Indian restaurants, the food often feels sweet, less spicy, or doesn’t have that real Indian heat and flavor we’re used to. You never truly get that authentic spicy taste. But here, the food tastes exactly like our food back home — full of flavor, spice, and authenticity. If you’re a South Indian, I would definitely say you should try this place — you’re going to love it. Overall, I’d honestly rate everything 10/10.

    A great restaurant. The service team were exceptionally good. They handled a moron at the next table who wanted halal mash with pasta served by a woman with grace and politeness, for example. He shouldn't be allowed out. Our food was served beautifully and the restaurant is part of an extremely nice hotel. Highly recommended if you are in Belfast for business or pleasure

    Booked a table for my birthday with my partner and two year old. From the moment we walked in until we left the service was faultless. We weren’t rushed at anytime during our visit and the food and pizza was some of the best I’ve had in a long time. Definitely will be coming back again to get my next pizza fix 🍕 🍕 🍕
