“ While travelling from Guntur to Hyderabad via FreshBus, we had a rest stop at Rajugari Thota. They served a complimentary meal of Upma and Chutney, and it was amazingly delicious. After a 5-hour journey, the warmth, consistency, and taste felt absolutely perfect. The chutney had a unique flavour that really stood out. We also ordered a few extra dishes, and the Paneer 65 was perfectly spicy with a noticeable ginger flavour. The service was quick and efficient, and everyone could finish their meals comfortably before the bus departed. The hygiene and cleanliness of the place were also impressive. Overall, it is a highly recommended rest stop, and FreshBus has partnered with the right restaurant. ”
“ Most of the dishes we ordered tasted good. I liked Egg Fried Rice & Jeera Rice. Prawn Biryani was too spicy. This place is decently maintained. A few years back, this place was much maintained in a better way. Plenty of parking space and green space as well. Kids friendly. ”
“ It was around 4.50pm in April hot outside and cool inside, stalls closed but the restaurant open and serving food nice place with ample parking and EV charging stations having TATA & Charge Zone each with 2 guns. And washrooms are neat and clean. ”
“ The restaurant looked empty when we arrived, and we were handed menus by the staff. The service throughout our visit was genuinely good, but unfortunately the food was quite disappointing. We started with a manchow soup, which had soggy noodles mixed in instead of being served separately. Then we ordered a gongura mutton pulao, only to be told after 10 minutes that it wasn’t available. We switched to the gongura prawns biryani, but the prawns tasted stale and lacked any flavor, which was very disappointing despite the generous portion size. We ended up leaving about two-thirds of the biryani untouched and asked for the bill. The waiter politely inquired if something was wrong, and after we explained, he apologized and even offered us complimentary rose milk, which we declined. We paid the full bill and left with a slightly bitter experience. ”
“ The place is huge and the food was tasty, we have tried their starters, pulao and biryani's. we have asked for their famous cooker biryani but the service guy said its over we were disappointed because he served the same thing to the other table apart from that rest of everything is fine. My most favourite dishes are Ulvacharu Chicken biryani and the chicken starters. The place is huge and the parking is vast. Would recommend this place. ”
