We also had some White Rice and Malabar Paratha as sides. For the Main Course, we ordered the Pomphret Fry (Whole Fried Fish), Chicken Biryani and the Natu Kodi Pulusu (Chicken Curry). Geez! We literally had to pry information out of him.For Appetizers, we got the Guntur Mirchi Bajji and Vegetable Cutlets. We informed him that we were not that familiar with the food from Andhra Pradesh, yet he seemed extremely reluctant to talk. The ambiance and service seemed to be lacking completely, but the food was surprisingly delicious.We ordered some dishes based on the opinions of our waiter when we asked him what was popular here. The décor was very simple, and strangely there was nobody to welcome the diners when we entered, so we seated ourselves at a table. I can't wait to go back.This Restaurant is fairly new and four of us came here on the recommendations of some friends. Not like the quickly thrown together ones from a mix that you often find. The sambar was excellent with fresh vegetables and a nice flavor. It was just the right amount of food for us. We had the Chicken in Chettinad spices, a black pepper cauliflower, something called Kuni Puliyaram (delicious) all dishes from the appetizer menu and a plain dosa and shared it all. Our waiter made recommendations when we asked and was very nice. The wait staff is not friendly but very professional and efficient.
The restaurant, while not anything fancy, is clean and comfortable. The spice level at Arusuvai is not toned down and absolutely delicious. I really like the spices used in Chettinad food and the fact that seafood has a greater presence. Since I like to have a bit of protein and my son needs some meat on his plate, we loved that Arusuvai has both.
I do love a good Masala Dosa which is from the South but most dosa places are small, unclean and only serve vegetarian food. I am Indian and rarely go out for Indian food as it's typically Americanized versions of Punjabi food.
