Visakhapatnam Restaurant Guide> Tycoon and Heritage Restaurants

Text by: Tanya Munshi

After the popular feedback we received from Kochi and Goa Restaurant Guides, we are now starting a new series of Vizag Restaurant Guide. Hope you find these reviews useful. Happy eating!

We started our Visakhapatnam Restaurant Guide with Taj Residency: http://tanyamunshi.blogspot.com/2008/01/food-vizag-restaurant-guide-taj.html

Tycoon and Heritage Restaurants, Visakhapatnam
Yes of course, these two are popular restaurants in Vizag, as you will always see them full and a long queue of people waiting their turn. Tycoon is the non-vegetarian section, while Heritage is under the same brand name, but a pure vegetarian joint. Thankfully, the food in the vegetarian section is far better, but extra oily.

Our dining experience with Tycoon, has not been very memorable in the first visit a year ago and the second time, nothing seemed to replace that. The food is nothing worth mentioning - Chicken do pyaza is definitely worth a skip.

However, I was pleasantly surprised with the food at Heritage, the vegetarian food was good, but a tad bit oily for my palate. A brisk walk after this rich meal is highly recommended.

I was also a witness to an event where one of the stewards kneeled forward to clear the extra spoons and forks and not even bothering that his sleeves were dipping into a friend's plate - this was during our lunch at Heritage.

Both Tycoon and Heritage are popular and packed during the lunch hour, owing to the proximity to several office buildings in the area. A meal for two should be within Rs. 350/- in both these places.
