HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
In the early 1980s, Mr. Mohan Reddy’s father relocated with his family to Bangalore from Nellore, Andhra Pradesh and started Nagarjuna as a small but authentic Andhra restaurant on Residency Road, a first in the city at that time. Nellore is known for its mouth-watering coastal cuisine, and offers a whole new taste palette to Bangaloreans.
Mr. Mohan Reddy, with his finger on the pulse of the people, learnt the ropes of the business, watered the initial seed diligently, and grew it into six successful outlets with his hard work and dedication, winning the love and loyalty of the locals. Even today with so much competition, there is no one to beat the authentic tastes of Nagarjuna, which offers sumptuous and satisfying freshly cooked homestyle fare with purest ingredients. It has been soaring in popularity, thanks to its true traditional Andhra fare, and consistency of quality and flavours.
