01 · The Naatu Story

Cheriyal on the walls,
Telangana on the plate.

Naatu — Telugu for ‘native’. A Road 36 kitchen & bar that opened in 2023 with Cheriyal scroll paintings by artist N Yamini, vermilion and tangerine motifs tracing Puranas and epics.

By day it is a family lunch room for pulaos, biryanis and pappucharu annam; by night the bar opens and the grill fires — quail, wings, fish chops and tandoor.

The menu runs Telugu first: Bheemavaram Kodi Pulao, Naatu Special Kodi Pulao, Dondakaya Vellulli Karam Biryani, Telangana Kodi Roast, Guntur Karam Kodi Fry, Ankapur Desi Kodi Koora, Naatu Kodi Pulusu, Kakinada Royyala Iguru — with horsegram Ulavacharu pulao cooked dum style and sweets like Bellam Junnu and Apricot Delight. Owner Vinay Dodda built the room around rustic, indigenous flavours; barman Lalmohan Rao pours guava-chilli Jampandu Roi and Falaknuma punches alongside. No standalone website — Zomato and District are the source of truth.

“Authentic Telangana flavours — the Ulavacharu Veg Pulao cooked dum style was a perfect winter food. Cheriyal art makes the room.”

Press note · Indulge Express 2023

Original review of Naatu at Road 36 opening

“The prices are on the higher side, and it’s unclear why a gas bill is being added. Service was exceptional though — we came across Naatu randomly.”
