The Product of Andhra

Set in Newtown, Birmingham, The Product of Andhra channels the bold, fiery spirit of South India.

Rooted in the culinary heritage of Andhra Pradesh, it is a love letter to vibrant spices, slow-cooked curries and irresistible pickles. Here, the sizzle of chilli and garlic meets the tang of gongura and the comfort of pappu, with recipes passed down and perfected for a generous, home-style feast.

Starters set the tone with crackling textures and clean, assertive heat: Bezawada chicken pakodi brings crisp bites scattered with cashews and green chilli, while guntur chilli chicken delivers a garlicky glow.

Vegetarian plates are no afterthought, from mokkajonna ullikaram’s spiced corn to crispy cauliflower dusted in dry Andhra spices. Seafood follows suit, as andhra achar prawns carry the perfumed punch of avakaya, and chepa Fry keeps its masala deft and mild.

Then come the biryanis, aromatic and layered: Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani and Hyderabadi mutton biryani arrive with saffron-kissed basmati and tender meats, while the vegetable dum biryani and a paneer biryani offer lush, meat-free comfort. Every plate is guided by time-honoured technique, a balance of heat, tang and depth that lingers long after the last spoonful.

Whether a committed spice lover or a curious first-timer, guests find a true taste of Andhra that is bold, flavourful and unforgettable. Book a table, bring an appetite, and leave with a little piece of Andhra in your step.
