Look, we get it. The restaurants in Guntur don’t get their fair share of attention. Mostly because not enough people have lost their minds – like us – hogging on their famous Ulavacharu Biryani. Or their Ginger Biryani. Or even their staggering jalebis cooked with rabri. Also, the locals definitely know how to cook with spice (Guntur is the largest exporter of red chillies, did y’all know?) and make all things nice. So spending an evening at the best restaurants in Guntur will, for sure, be a whole new discovery for the foodie in you.

One of the best restaurants in Lakshmipuram, Guntur, the Madras Military Hotel is known for their lip-smacking parotta’s. And of course, their appealing name. Surprisingly tho, they’re not located in Madras or even a military campus. Basically, they’re like that friend who’s trying to maintain a hard diet for the NDA exams, but goes all guns blazing whenever a plate of yummy, greasy food falls on their crosshair.
Must Try: Veechu Parotta, Chilli Parotta Location:3-28-64/1-A, Near Vijetha Super Market, Lakshmipuram, Guntur Timings:12noon – 11pm Cost for Two (INR): ₹600/- |
The Leelavathi Deluxe Mess is a blessing for folks who are never happy with small size portions. Thanks to their bazillion combo meals and local thalis. And don’t worry, they didn’t just name themselves ‘deluxe’ for the sake of it. In fact, the folks at Leelavathi do deliver on their claims and a whole lot more. Unlike those interstate buses who end up looking nothing ‘deluxe’ or even slightly decent for that matter.
Must Try: Egg Bhurji Location:13/2, Arundelpet, Brodipet, Guntur Timings:Mon-Sun:11am – 4:30pm, 7pm – 10:30pm Cost for Two (INR): ₹400/- |
The thing about SR Grand Family is that it offers huge quantities of food at decent prices. That too with an unlimited serving of their red chilli and coconut chutneys. Try ordering their ‘Family Pack chicken biryani with ghee’ which can easily serve a family of four. Or that friend who has the combined appetite of your entire hostel. Whoever you decide to bring along.
Must Try: Chilly Gobi, Onion Pakoda Location:Devapuram 1st line Ashok Nagar Guntur Timings:Mon-Sun:11am – 11pm Cost for Two (INR): ₹500/- |
If you’re looking for budget friendly meals, then look no further than Idly N Idly. They offer a delicious menu of South Indian curries with a mix of local spices. Also, the price of their steam rice is dirt cheap, so you can fill your tummy to the brim. And everyone who goes there for a full meal, always orders their delicious idlis too. So no wonder why they had to mention them twice in their name.
Must Try: Idli, Dosa, Uttapam Location: Chandramouli Nagar Timings: 8 AM -10 PM Cost for Two (INR): ₹200/- |
Another one of the top restaurants in Guntur is the Sri Sankara Vilas. Despite being super authentic with their food, they don’t put a ton of spice unlike most other eateries in the city. Also, the ingredients are mostly farm produced. So you won’t feel your tummy burn after a full-size meal here. Basically, this place is something that even viral nutritionists on Youtube will put their stamp of approval on. Not kidding.
Must-Try: Ghee Pesara Dosa, Tiffin Sambar Location:D 5-37-8, Second Floor, 4th Lane, Brodipet, Guntur Timings:7 am – 10 pm Cost for Two (INR): ₹400/- |
Few places can satisfy a biryani lover like the Thalappakatti Biryani restaurant. We recommend ordering their chicken dum bucket biryani lollipop or their special thalappakatti dum biryani. Sure, their name might be a little hard on your tongue, but the moment you take a bite of their chicken cuts, everything around you will feel zen. Kinda like creating a wishlist on clothing apps on the night before your pocket money reaches your bank account.
Must Try: Mutton Dum Biryani, Special Thalappakatti Biryani Location:Near Mirchi Yeard, Nallapadu, AT Agraharam, Guntur Timings:10 am – 11 pm Cost for two (INR): ₹300/- |
Gismat Arabic Restaurant, Guntur, is famous for serving a fine Arabian cuisine. They’ve become so popular in Andhra Pradesh, the owners have managed to open a franchise business out of it. Plus, their decor is interesting too. And though it might remind you of your bestie’s bad attempt at creating a bohemian decor in their room. In Gismat’s case, it turned out to be pretty darn fine.
Must Try: Chicken Jumbo Mandi Location:D 4-15-125, Bharat Peta, 8th Lane, Amaravathi Road, Guntur Timings:12noon – 10pm Cost for Two (INR): ₹500/- |
If you’re looking for a good fine-dining experience, head to the Geetha Regency. Despite being one of the more sophisticated restaurants in Guntur, it still won’t burn a hole in your wallet. Also, it’s not a very noisy restaurant unlike most on this list. So you won’t have to bring out your inner Roadie to make an audible conversation here.
Must Try: Non Veg Thali Location:6-4-70, 4th Lane, Arundelpet, Brodipet, Guntur Timings:11am – 10pm Cost for Two (INR): ₹500/- |
The Murugan Hotel is a good place to head out for lunch. Especially if you’re a lot more hungry than usual. Plus, you’ll get to experience eating out the way Gunturians usually do. For example, you won’t find a plate or servers using a tray to bring your orders. Just banana leaves as plates and items served from buckets and large utensils. It’ll remind you of the time before the concept of buffets entered Indian weddings, you know.
Must Try: Gutti Vankaya Curry Location: 1-13/1, Vijayawada – Guntur Highway Beside Toll Gate, Kaza, Andhra Pradesh 522503 Timings: 11.30 AM – 4.30 PM Cost for Two (INR): ₹300/- |
Believe it or not, there are actual robots serving food in the Robot Restaurant. All you gotta do is put your order to the server (the human one) and your food will be delivered right to your table by a robot. And they’re competent enough not to spill your food. Plus, they’re kinda cute too. Like Wall-E, R2D2 and X Æ A-12. Ok, the last one’s just Elon Musk’s son. Let’s move on.
Must-Try: Non-Veg Thali Location:5-91-52, Chandramouli Nagar 8th line, Brindavan Gardens 1st Ln, beside Ganesh Food Court, Line, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh 522007 Timings: 11 AM – 11 PM Cost for Two (INR): ₹600/- |
