Andhra cuisine is the spice-led, gongura-forward, deeply-regional half of Telugu food. Coastal influences from Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Guntur bring coconut and tamarind into the curries; Rayalaseema's drier interior gives us chillis pounded with peanut and sesame; the river-belt of Krishna and Godavari districts contributes the prawn pulusu and kodi (chicken) preparations that define Sunday lunch in most Andhra households.
Bisi Bisi's catering kitchen runs the full Andhra repertoire. Andhra meals thali is our most-requested catering format - pulihora, pappu (with tomato or any seasonal lentil), gongura pachadi, dosakaya or beerakaya pachadi, vepudu (a dry curry), gutti vankaya masala or drumstick kaaju curry, sambar, rasam, perugu (curd), papad, and one or two sweets, served on a banana leaf. Headcount range covers everything from a 20-plate Satyanarayana Vratam family lunch to 1,500-plate wedding receptions.

Frequently asked questions
- What's the Andhra meals thali?
- A complete sit-down Andhra meal: pulihora, pappu (dal), gongura pachadi, dosakaya or beerakaya pachadi, vepudu (a dry curry), gutti vankaya masala or drumstick kaaju curry, sambar, rasam, perugu (curd), papad, and a sweet - served traditionally on a banana leaf. Available for catering at all 138 Hyderabad localities, 36-hour minimum notice.
- Can the Andhra menu run sattvic (no onion, no garlic)?
- Yes. The kitchen makes a separate sattvic Andhra spread from the start, not a substitution at the plate. Common for Satyanarayana Vratam, Gruhapravesham and morning ritual catering. Tell us when you book.
- How spicy is the Andhra menu by default?
- Medium-high by Andhra standards, calibrated for Hyderabad palate. We can dial it up or down per event - tell us in the WhatsApp follow-up if you need lighter spice for elders or kids, or full Andhra heat for a wedding sit-down.
