Amrutha Vilas

Had an amazing Hyderabad chicken dum biryani today at Amrutha vilas. This restaurant has the authentic South Indian dishes. I recommend this place for all the Indian food lovers and menu is budget friendly.

We ordered a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Everything was delicious and so fresh! The quantity was perfect!

A new Indian Indian restaurant in the Memphis suburb area - where the dining hall is big and clean. The dine in facility is best here as compared to other Indian places ( all of them are dingy, and not great). It was weekend night when we visited, and the place was quite packed. The service was decent, nothing extraordinary. The restaurant has decent menu, and the food is mostly Andhra style. We started with Irani chai. The hot tea ( with loads of milk and sugar) was fine. We ordered the majestic chicken as appetizer. In the main course we got a masala dosa and a chicken fried rice. The majestic chicken was not much spicy. The crunchy fried chicken pieces were coated/ tossed in yogurt based sauce. The chicken fried rice was quite big in portion size. The smell of eggs were overpowering, however crunchy, and spicy fried chickens were delightful. The fried rice was more like a home made one than a typical indo- Chinese restaurant made version. The dosa was decent. It was served with creamy peanut chutney, tomato chutney and sambar. The tomato chutney and the sambar was quite spicy. Overall, the food was fresh and served hot. Although the variation in menu was much limited.

10 out of 5 for atleast trying to make a standard and contemporary atmosphere based Indian restaurant in Memphis. The pricing is fair as compared to older establishments like Bombay House and Overpriced Hyderabad Biryani.
The food is where it gets a mixed thing. The naming convention is off or whether the chef and owners are confused I don't know. They are serving, Methi Mutter Paneer and Korma as well in the same tomato based red gravy. No doubt it was not bad, it was tasty but one has to understand certain indian curries come in certain way. You cannot use the same base for the entire menu. Korma is either white cashew based or yellow gravy or entirely coconut based gravy. Methi Malai Mutter is supposed to be malai based white gravy.
The Naan was the best in Memphis and the baby corn pepper fry was refreshingly original.
The hospitality is good as well.
All the best for them to improve further. I highly appreciate them trying to be different in this limited city.

Nice, new, Indian restaurant in Cville. Owner was awesome at being patient with our large, rowdy group. We went with our family and all ordered more than we should have. We overwhelmed the kitchen but each dish was well prepared and fresh. Taste was off the charts. We will be back. Majestic Chicken was my absolute favorite and was so tasty. 💯% will go and recommend you go too! My only regret was I didn't take (or I think I accidentally deleted) photos of all the wonderful food we tried. I did post my birianni.
