Sri Shankar Vilas Since 1972: I'm from Bhimavaram, came here for some vacation. I've enquired in Tanuku, which is the best Tiffins Centre available near to Main road and centre where I'm staying, local people suggested me to Shankara Vilas. Wow! What a authentic and indigenous teast of tiffins. Beleive me you you feel better than so-called Udupi Hotels. Here some local Chutneys flavoured like Godavari. I think, may be late 1970's owners they certainly care about the Environment and maximum avoids plastic. The parcel system was very nice. Trust me your money more valued and stastified in Shankar Vilas. Thank you Shankar Vilas for providing such memorable tiffins in Tanuku.
