"Equally loved here is the pesarattu, Andhra's savory pancake. Made with a batter of whole mung beans, soaked, blended, and spread out thinly on a griddle, pesarattu is large, crisp, nutritious, and quite addictive."

"Large steamers huff and puff in the kitchen, turning out dozens of idlis at a time. Each is anointed with ghee and served with a pat of butter. They melt in the mouth. They may be eaten with a dry chutney known as podi or with sambar."

"Things to order - Babai Hotel Idli (Super soft buttery idlis)."

Akshita Kanumury

"Not only are the idlis affordable but they do incredible justice to the taste buds too. Their texture is so soft that they often melt in the mouth before even one can chew."

Gayatri Thotakura

"It is the best hotel for idli and south indian food. The butter idli is its speciality. It melts in mouth."

Alina Sen

"Some local favourites: The idlis from Babai Hotel, Vijayawada, melt in your mouth."

Kamal Shah

"The Babai Hotel Idli there is out of the world. The Idlis are literally soaked in ghee and topped with dollops of white butter for good measure. Weight watchers - try it please and then make it up by starving for a week. They have a delectable array of chutneys that are served with the Idlis."

"But, my recurrent visits paid me dividends not only in the form of tasty Idlis and Pesarattu, but also in the form of Babai’s warmth."
