BANDI WALA

Amazing Chicken Noodles, but Disappointing Pulav and Long Wait I recently visited Bandiwala in Tampa and tried their Vijayawada Boneless Chicken Pulav and Chicken Noodles. The Vijayawada Boneless Chicken Pulav was a huge disappointment. It tasted more like mandi rice with mandi-flavored sauce added to the chicken. It was nowhere close to authentic Vijayawada chicken pulav. If you’re expecting the real Vijayawada-style flavor, I would recommend skipping this dish. On the other hand, the Chicken Noodles were absolutely amazing! These were honestly some of the best noodles I’ve had in Tampa. They reminded me of Indian street-side noodles, with that authentic street-food taste I’ve been craving. Definitely a must-try! One major downside was the waiting time. I had to wait around 40 minutes, which was quite a lot and definitely needs improvement. Overall, the noodles were outstanding, but the pulav was disappointing, and the long wait affected the experience. My recommendation: Go for the chicken noodles, but skip the Vijayawada Boneless Chicken Pulav!

Awesome food.

It is always disappointing when a meal is ruined by poor service and long delays, even if the food itself is okay. Extremely rude staff
