Aadhivasi Bamboo Chicken - Restaurant in Araku Valley - Visakhapatanam, India

Bad experience . Burnt food and too much cost. 750/- for the Biryani which you can see in Attached photos

you need to customise your need for spice levels, then only u will like it. We have missed that catch and didnt asked to make it spicy. at the end its not upto mark

Recently we had tried the famous tribal cuisine 'Bamboo Chicken' from the Araku Valley of Andhra Pradesh, locally known as the 'Bongulo Chicken'. Its very different from the one we generally find in the restuarants in the city, as its made the authentic tribal way without oil and they use local herbs, etc and they make the chicken on wood or coal flames and not on the gas burner. Frankly speaking if you expect too much about the taste then you will be disappointed and its not that tasty like how its hyped about in general. You can give it a try if you want to try something different while you are in the valley but personally I still liked their kebabs better than the bamboo chicken.

Not soo tasty this.. not rosted too much.. girl she is looking gorgeous... 0.5 kg.. 300 rs.. not soo good at taste... Not recommended..

Having heard quite often about Bamboo Chicken being the speciality of Araku Valley, we decided to try it when we spotted this place while exploring the local market. Rs500 for a kilo was good enough quantity for 4-5 people. And they claim they don't use any water or oil for cooking, but I found it to be just plain hype when it came to the flavour. Trying it once for sake of trying is good enough in my opinion.

Since we were in Araku valley and before visiting there we heared lots about Bamboo chicken that they cooked it in bamboo with local herbs and without using oil and water and cook on open coal fire. Finally we had decided to try this special local dish and reached at one of Aadhivasi shops and ordered Kabab and half kg bamboo chicken that we got 250/ half kg. And yes taste was really different and unique but it was spicy and hot. Moreover in late evening we took one bamboo for snacks and after 2 hours when we opened, we found the temperature of food was still same. And yes i would suggest try atleast once while you are around in valley.

Friendly people, too expensive for a outside place, not hygiene, authentic. Taste:3/5 Quantity is good

Its a spicy oil less chicken...taste good..must try on the way to araku
