Food

East Godavari is famous for traditional Andhra cuisine and Kakinada is no different - mouth watering pickles (Aavakaaya) made from mango, vegetables (e.g. Caulifower Aavakaaya), chicken, shrimp, mutton and even fish. Interestingly, a few people here swear by the pungent taste of dried fish (Endu Chepa) and shrimp (Endu Royya). People arrive here from distant towns on business, and consider their trip incomplete when they fail to fit in a lunch or dinner at Sri Krishna Vilas, popularly known as Subbiah Hotel. This town is also famous for its unique Kotiah Kakinada Kaaja (Kotiah Sweets was founded in the year 1900), a sweet made from maida and dipped in sugar syrup. The locals frequent the innumerable carts strategically located at populous street corners to get their share of bhajis and a delightfully tasty mixture of onions, toasted rice, and sev (Pidatha Kindha Pappu). Kakinada is also one of the few regions in the entire Andhra Pradesh where Chekkarakeli aratipandu (banana) and Kothapalli kobbari maamidipandu (mango) are available. Maida flour is super refined wheat flour used to make a wide variety of food items like puri, chappathi, paratha, etc. ...
