UlavacharU Indian Restaurant

A solid piece of metal scrap found in their buffet food today. This is not just any metal food scrap, it's a piece of heavy duty metal scrubber used for cleaning. I'm seriously worried about sanitation and safety standards of their kitchen. I had my small child with me for lunch today. If the child didn't realize and ate it, it would've been a huge medical emergency.
The server and the manager didn't do anything more than just saying sorry. I would've appreciated if their attitude was to get to the bottom of this and make sure this never happens again.
Be very cautious eating at this place. I hope the restaurant management will improve their safety standards.

We ordered two vegetarian biryanis for takeout, as clearly mentioned on the bill, but both were chicken biryani. We are pure vegetarians, so this is completely unacceptable and very disappointing. Accuracy in orders is basic, and such mistakes make it hard to trust the service.

Very silple looking place with delicious food. The menu is not huge, but there is something for everyone. Our party of five had no issues finding veg and non veg options for dinner. Very quick service.
I wish they had filter coffee though.
Plenty of parking in the spacious parking lot.

Do not fall for the catering menu. We recently placed an order for 25 people, and most of the dishes arrived in small trays, except for one biryani option that came in a full tray. This was very different from my previous catering experience with them, where the portions were much more reasonable and consistent.
Unfortunately, both the quantity and overall quality have declined significantly. The taste is no longer what it used to be, and several items felt subpar.
What made the experience worse was the response when we called to clarify the portion sizes—the interaction was rude and unhelpful, with no effort to address the concern.
Based on this experience, I would not recommend this place for catering orders anymore. Very disappointing.

Ordered punugulu and mirchi bhajji on a rainy day. Wow they were just amazing. Would try their biryani next next time for sure

Went there for chicken dum biryani.The biryani was delicious with enough pieces for 1 person.Included a boiled egg a piece of Leon n salad with dahi raita
The service took 15 mins after t order was placed which was reasonable.The only thing which could Mar the scores was the unwashed used plates left in the waiting area. The place look old.

Great food. Had buffet and all veg and non veg selections were great. The naan, achari chicken, mango lassi, tamarind rice and tea were especially good. Everything is a must try and would definitely want to come here again.

Had a really nice time at Ulavacharu Restaurant. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. Sindhu stood out with her friendly greeting and kind service. She made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. Definitely a place I’d visit again.

The buffet is a steal. Ala carte has incredible Southern Indian dishes. When feeling home sick, easiest way to feel better is grabbing a bite here.
