Gongura is a unique restaurant that serves a blend of international and South Indian cuisine. The chef has mastered the art of balancing spices, evident in the standout Gongura chutney made with a native leafy green from Andhra Pradesh. The menu offers a range of options, including gongura chicken dosa, butter chicken with rice, and crepes. Fresh local ingredients are used, and vegetarian options like chole, rice, chapati, and dosa are available. The restaurant's atmosphere is cozy, with a spacious and clean dining area filled with house plants.
Recently, customers have praised the restaurant for its excellent burger, homemade ketchup, and hibiscus tea. While some found the sambar and rice didn't meet their expectations for typical Indian flavors, they expressed a desire to return and explore other menu items. The service was noted to be a bit slow, but the friendly staff and the family-run operation, owned by the Green family, added to the charm of the place. Customers also appreciate the availability of fresh baked bread, local honey, and other grocery items, making it a worthwhile stop for farm-to-table meals.
