Durga Vilas, the family restaurant in Samalkot, East Godavari
Our heritage

It began in a railway kitchen, in 1952.

Sri Bondu NookaRaju started with a sweets contract for the Indian Railways, then opened Durga Military Restaurant in Samalkot, East Godavari, in 1967. His sons grew it into Durga Vilas — two buildings, still not enough seats. Sri Kumbhakarna is that same family, cooking the same recipes, for Singapore.
