For passengers travelling from Howrah to Vijayawada :
If you find it difficult to get seats in trains like Coromandel, Falaknuma, HWH YPR, Chennai Mail, etc. Try Amaravati express its GNWL for 18047 btw HWH to BZA also average speed is on par with above trains.

BZA Retiring Rooms - AC Dorm for Men

In one line - Choose this only if have have budget constraints

1) Cubicle type retiring rooms. No lock would be provided.
...
more...
You have to carry your own lock.

2) Nil maintenance. Attached pics are from the room allotted to me. The door was broken, and fan... better not to say.

3) AC was running just for name sake. For a huge room only two ACs were ran at 26 degree. Three ACs were not functional since long... even the staff were not sure, from when. Is that not amazing.

4) The rest room facilities though were cleaned in the morning the floors and the closets were damaged. Only saving grace was good hot water. Please learn to sing, as bathroom does not have lock from within.

5) There is no guarantee that the room allocated to you will remain with you till evening if you don't lock it. Anyone is free to take any room as they wish. You need to fight to get your room back.

6) Bedbugs are aplenty and be prepared for that.

7) The double bedrooms looked very decent from outside.. But I didn't checked from within.

Overall Tip...
I deboarded here by SC-BZA Special..
Bit early morning 🌄
As i wasn't aware of station design so i took south side exit which leads to long walk for mainroad and no shops present there..
So
...
more...
i used google map and took the main entrance building entry/exit..
I asked locals about shops they said take left and walk 100 meters..
As its early morning very few shops were opened
There is no language issue here, people whom i interact at shop were familiar with Hindi & English..
I did my breakfast, it was 4 idli with chutney at 20 Rs only..
However it was not so tasty 😅 still i need to fill my tummy ..
1. Station Building is very nice and somewhay unique in Design
2. Cleanliness is good, work for cleaning going on as well..
3. Waiting room is too small as compared to station plus washrooms are not in so good condition.. however cleaning staff came and they just saw, wipe out surface and then gone.. nothing to with comodes and wash basin..
4. Food options are also very limited... I didn't find any better option of food as its morning time may be thats the issues but still at around 9 am nothing available
5. AP state transport buses available outside station as its main road, autos also available..
6. Overall for me being division it really needs better Infrastructure in every means.. considering a big station in terms of handling trains as well .. i rate it as 3.5/5

Thanks

In Karnataka- Yes, some amount of jaggery is added to Chutney and Sambar, tastes slightly sweet.
In TN/AP/TG - Nothing sweet is added to Sambar/Chutney.

In our Maharashtra also these people make Sambar Little Sweet. Which I dont like much infact. Means We people of MH follow the South Indian style of Karnataka I think.

Personally, I liked Mysore style sambhar and coconut chutney with rava ghee roast dosa very much...better than their TN an AP counter parts.
At bza, curd rice/lemon rice more delectable
