Food, like knowledge, is an Ocean! :D

Over the flames

2012-01-27T13:41:00.000+05:30

This place is tucked away under the "More" supermarket on the road from Cyberabad police station towards Gachibowli. Small joint, great Italian food :). Try the "Thyme scented chicken" for starters. When we had this, the chicken was well cooked and the sauce in which it was dipped just melted in the mouth.

For main course, we ate Pizzas and Lasagna. The Lasagna was also good - spicy and tasty to the right extent. We had "grilled paparika chicken pizza" and "chicken arrabbiata pizza". Since this is an Italian food joint, the pizzas were thin crust. In general, I am not a big fan of thin crusts, but these pizzas tasted very good. For sure, we will be going back to this place again (and again!).

Abhiruchi

2012-01-27T13:39:00.000+05:30

For about more than an year, we have been passing by this mess, but never ended up eating there. Located on the route from Inorbit mall to the Madhapur police station (durgam cheruvu route), this small place is a beehive of activity! And the order here is pretty simple - meals + mutton fry :). The curries with the meals are great, the rasam and sambar are great, and more importantly the mutton fry is great!

We have seen lot of people ordering biryani also. The smell was enticing, and from the looks of the eaters, the biryani seems to be a hit here too! Next time, it will be biryani instead of meals!

Zurna

2012-01-27T13:37:00.001+05:30

More often than not, I end up in Zurna enticed by the aromas coming out from their kitchen while we drive into our apartments! Zurna is located right outside our apartment complex. It's kitched faces our complex and hence the aromas while we drive in!

And the aroma is not misleading too :). Tangdi kabab is awesome. Chilly Chicken, Chicken 65 are also very good, but are slightly overpriced I feel (a full plate is Rs. 130 and it doesn't look like a full plate :) ). We recently had their kheema curry and as always that was also very good. Punjabi chicken is another dish you might want to try too. I am sure the other kababs are equally good - will surely continue to try them. However, their biryani is on and off... at times it is very good and at times the rice is not properly cooked. To be on the safer side, you can always relish their Chicken fried rice! Overall, this place has been superb and will surely be visited many more times :D

Price range: Rs. 300-400 for two

Location: Somajiguda.

Smoking Jalapeno

2012-01-27T13:35:00.002+05:30

True to their tagline "there is nothing Mexican about it", there is actually nothing Mexican about this! This place is adjacent to Subway in the Ratnadeep complex in Somajiguda. This is primarily a take away joint, but if you wish to, you can eat there too. Their food is also quite good.

We have primarily tasted their chinese items and have not been disappointed so far. Chicken chilly garlic friend rice, chicken schezuan fried rice, chicken singapore fried rice - all are good. Schezuan chicken (wet), chicken drumsticks, chicken-65 are also good. I'd recommend that you call this place before going there, for more often than not, it takes more than 20 minutes for a simple order to get ready! This place also serves kababs and rolls. I vaguely remember trying their roll once, and don't remember having any complaints. Kababs are yet to be had here :D ... Stay tuned ;)

Price Range - Rs. 300-400 for two

Chillies

2012-01-27T13:33:00.001+05:30

I guess one of the very few Mexican food joints in the city is Chillies. This restaurant is in the Inorbit mall, and most probably I will not be going back to this place again. No no, it's not the food, it's the bill! Recently, 4 of us went there (this was my 4th visit overall, and the first time I looked at the bill). The items we ordered costed us Rs. 1800 but the total bill came up to Rs. 2400 !!! A service charge of 11% (or maybe it was 12%), VAT and service tax - all added up to us paying about 1/3rd of our bill just as additional stuff ! And frankly, I think the service charge is over-priced. We should get to decide how much we wish to pay - not the hotel, especially when the "service" involved is very less!

Anyways, if you don't care about the above arguments, this place is a very good one for nice food! Any sizzler is good - we tried almost all of them and were not disappointed. There is this cheese pasta thing that is very good for starters. We tried the tacos, and also the grilled fish (with pepper) - and they tested nice too! Like I said, food is good, billing is baad!

Hitech Bawarchi

2012-01-27T13:32:00.000+05:30

I guess the reason why the original Bawarchi restaurant in RTC x roads has a "We do not have any branches anywhere" is places like Hitech Bawarchi. Sandeep bhai tells us that the biryani is very good here, and therefore we all meet up here for lunch. First, the service is very slow. I even ordered soup, but ended up being disappointed with it. Chicken-65 has been ordered - and it was ok. And then came the big thing - chicken and mutton biryani ! The order was not properly taken. Mutton biryani had just 6 pieces. Taste was not great at all!

So we question Sandeep bhai -he tells us that he always took parcel and that always turned out to be good. This was vouched for, by another friend. Anyways, the experience turned out to be pretty bad and for sure we are not going back to this place!

Vacs

2012-01-27T13:31:00.001+05:30

I actually haven't been to this place, but have had food from here! We were at this friend's place and he tells he has snacks from Vacs - so without further delay we hog it! We had chicken croissants which were very good. There was another chicken variety too - looked like chicken puff but much softer - that was also very good. We had black forest pastry, which was also very good. Plus, some functions we attended had cakes from vacs - butter scotch, fruit cake - all these are also good. Maybe one of these days, will be visiting this place too! Stay tuned :D

Rubaiyat

2012-01-27T13:29:00.001+05:30

We ended up at this place because there was a long waiting time at Nautanki Gali ! And no regrets at all. By now, you must have guessed that this place is right next to Nautanki Gali in Cyber Pearl. While Nautanki Gali offers a sumptous buffet, Rubaiyat is only a-la-carte; only from the menu. We had tangdi kakab and tikka kabab and both were very good. We then had chicken and mutton biryani - and again no complaints! The ambience is very regal, and the service is also top quality. Next time, we will go here out of choice and not because it will take time to get seated in Nautanki Gali !

Price Range - ~600-800 for 2.

Location: Cyber Pearl, Hitech City

KFC

2012-01-27T13:26:00.000+05:30

I have never been a fan of their fried chicken - somehow was never attractive. But off late, they came up "Feiry chicken" too ! And this item is quite good! Basically grilled with spices exclusively to KFC, this item is a toned down version of the their fried chicken. Their popcorn chicken is also worth a try. Their "Zinger burgers" are also good for a quick snack.

However, there are many others who like their fried variety too, so I guess if you haven't tried KFC at all, you can give a try for both fried and fiery chicken and choose your favorite!

Pizza Hut

2012-01-27T13:23:00.001+05:30

Cheesy bites. Cheesy Bites. Cheesy Bites! Just have any of their cheesy bite pizza - this is pure bliss! Ofcourse, you have to be a fan of cheese :D. Any pizza with these is good. That's all I have to recommend here. Any pizza with cheesy bites! Ohh by the way, I hate black olives so I will not recommend them. Otherwise, any pizza with cheesy bites!

Dominos

2012-01-27T13:20:00.002+05:30

Cheese burst and ultimate deep dish are the good crusts that you can choose from. I am no fan of thin crusts, hence my aversion towards ordering that! Their spicy chicken and barbeque chicken pizzas are good. And since I am fan of cheese, I typically order extra cheese on these pizzas!

100 Degrees

2011-06-26T22:39:00.002+05:30

I thought it will be poetic justice if the 100 restaurant on this blog will be 100 degrees :) Hence, went to this restaurant for lunch today. This place is known for its sizzlers. I ordered the Tandoori Chicken Sizzler and it was good (not out of the place as some people made me believe :) ). Their buffet also has a vast spread of items, but there is nothing that really stands out. That doesn't mean you will leave disappointed :D. This is located at the end of the Necklace road, and if we get a table outside, the view is really good (especially on a cloudy day like today!).

Nautanki Gali

2011-06-25T22:14:00.001+05:30

It's just different! Am simply in awe and love with this place. Everything about this place is new :) While you walk in, there are a couple of folks singing folk songs - live ! I think this is to make your waiting experience more memorable. And true to its naughty name, the restrooms are named "Ladiss" and "Gants"! Inside the restaurant, there are small compartments each with a different theme. There is a clothes shop theme - the two tables in this compartment are designed like a tailoring machine. On the wall behind, there are cloths hanging :). Another compartment has the theme of a barber shop. And then the open area seating also is good.

And then the menu :) :). 3-4 non-veg starters and multiple veg starters, along with a soup each. There is chat too. So far, all starters have been very good in taste. Main Course again has about 6 non-veg items, again all of them were good (in two visits so far, no disappointment at all :) ). Their pulkas and dosas are also very good. Deserts menu is good, salad offerings are also good. Basically everything is very good :) A must visit place. And the best part is this - Rs.249+taxes=~Rs.327 !! This is located in Cyber Pearl, Hitech City.

2011-06-25T22:13:00.003+05:30

It's been a while since I went there, but if they have the same buffet and pricing as before, then this place is highly recommended. Priced at 199+taxes, they offer good enough veg and non-veg dishes. Only thing is that there is no non-veg soup. However, non veg starters compensate for this "loss" :D. I liked their chilly chicken, chicken fingers (don't remember the name exactly, but they looked like fingers :) ). Their main course offerings are also quite tasty (including veg - I tried a couple of them too). This place also is a gaming place - you can pay and play games like cricket, paint ball etc. This place is located near Madhapur police station.

Rayalseema Ruchulu

2011-06-25T22:10:00.002+05:30

Burrppp! Anything non-veg is like a must try item here :). Fish fry, chicken fry (both natu kodi and normal), prawns fry, mutton fry, mutton soup, mutton kheema curry, gongura mamsam, and ofcourse their Chicken, Prawn and Mutton Biryanis!! Don't forget to have them spicy - this will just enrich your taste buds for sure. This place is located near Peddama Gudi in Jubilee Hills. After Kritunga, this place is easily the best place to get some real Andhra/Rayalseema food. Highly recommended :)

Colours and Flavours

2011-06-25T22:09:00.001+05:30

Located on the road from Durgam Cheruvu to Madhapur Police station, word about Colors and Flavours needs to be spread wide. Their Lung Fung soup is simply superb. I had two offerings of this soup, in their buffet :). Their buffet offering is also good - ofcourse I ate non-veg. For sure, going back to this place and will keep adding other items to eat!

Red Fox

2011-06-25T22:08:00.001+05:30

Horrible experience, and most probably will never go back here. First of all, there is a dull feel to the ambience. Then the menu - there are NO starters. Main course is very bland. And worst was the service. There was no wada in Dahi wada - I tell him, and he tells me - no sir, wada is there!! this is a full 10 minutes after I observed that the wada is not there! Just one of few examples of the service. This hotel is located next to Lemon Tree in Hitec City.

Bliss Punjabi Paratha

2010-07-28T11:06:00.001+05:30

Tucked away in the basement of the more visible Y.S.Cafe in Somajiguda, (right opposite to Tung Kein) is this small Punjabi eatery that makes awesome parathas! Pick any (alu, gobi, onion, plain, mix) and there is no scope of being disappointed. This place is pure veg, so haven't really tried out the dishes here :) Ideally, we should take paratha's here, some nice egg burji from Deccan or a chicken 65 from chinese bandis and it will be nice "healthy" dinner! Above all, their hospitality is also very good... it strikes an instant chord.

Inorbit Mall Food Court

2010-07-28T10:59:00.003+05:30

Four seasons

One of the best things to have happened to Hyderabad is Four Seasons restaurant in Toli Chowki. And they have a branch in the food court here too. Their non-veg combo is good - in the multiple times I ate it here, never was disappointed. Chicken65, Chicken Sticks, Fish Kabab, Tangdi Kabab, Chicken Lollipop, Schezwan Chicken Fried Rice are all very good here. Most of the times, we end up eating at Four Seasons!

Jalapenos

This is a Mexican place. Typically, quesidillas are good at Mexican place, but I have not tried them here. Their salad bowl offering is very good, and I end up eating only that item at this place :) Highly recommended.

Mad about China

Don't eat here. Period. First, he doesn't take the correct order, then tells me I didn't order. Then he gets the wrong order (I ordered for Soup+Schezuan chicken+chicken in garlic sauce) - he gets Black Pepper chicken and Chicken in Garlic Sauce (and no soup!). Not having the patience to wait for the actual order to come, decided to start eating and then realise the chicken is like very hard ! Not stale, but hard like a rock... not sure what to make of it! Should have listened to Shravya when she said that this should be renamed as Mad at China! Late realisation from my side!

Newsroom

Not sure if I got the name right. This is not in the food court, but in the floor below it. Place is very costly, though the wraps were good. Sandwiches are very small, and very costly too :). I don't think we will be going back to this place again.

Creamstone

Actually the "fruit exotica" icecream they make is very good, but then it is Rs.126/- ! I guess all good things come at a cost :D... worth eating, though not everytime we go there though!

Mayur Pan Shop

2010-07-19T16:09:00.001+05:30

This is more about what we get outside the Pan shop than what we get in it :). This Pan shop is located at a stone's throw distance from Papaji ka Dhaba, and also houses Chat/Snacks corner, and this is what blows you off. The Masala Pav Bhaaji is simply out of this world. Soft, cut into pieces, and served with apt masals on it, it will only leave you yearning for more. We can still feel the taste, and the yearning only increases! Pani Puri is also good.

And then there is the Grilled Sandwich. Three bread pieces on top of each, cut into 4 pieces, with the right mixture of vegetables, pudina chutney and cheese.... ahaaaaa... :) :)

And ofcourse, eat the special pan inside the Pan shop and your day is done! We haven't tried other stuff there, but surely we will go again to try. Also, this corner also has a juices stall.

Location: Abids (very near to Papaji Dhaba)

Eat Street

2010-07-12T15:10:00.000+05:30

It has multiple food joints, all of which are expensive :D. Like a stupid fellow, I even had Sugarcane juice which was Rs.25/- !! The Chinese at one end is decent enough. Other than the usual stuff, the sauce that comes with it awesome :). Haven't bothered eating pizzas and subs in there. We once tried fish and prawns at the sea food joint, but a. They were expensive b. Quantity was low - hence no repetition! You can maybe grab a frankie while you wait for your main course to be dished out. The place looks crowded, but once you get a seat, I guess it ain't matter anymore. One thing you need to pray - Tank Bund shouldn't dish out its foul smell the day you go there!

Location: Necklace Road

Deccan Food Joint

2010-07-12T15:08:00.001+05:30

Located in the small bylane beside Baker's Inn, this is essentially a take away joint. Has a decent seating area too, but still would prefer parcels. Food is good - no complaints so far. Tried the Chicken Tangdi Kabab, Butter Chicken (there was this craving one day to badly have this dish, as it has been ages!), egg burji, chicken 65 and Mutton Biryani. All were good. However, the rotis and naans are not that great... can avoid them if possible. Otherwise, a decent place to go pick up your food and eat while watching TV!

Location: Somajiguda, beside Bakers Inn

N-Grill

2010-07-12T15:07:00.000+05:30

Ahhh - this is not for normal crowd. If you want to burn your pockets, please feel free to go here. Not that your stomach will be satisfied after all that pocket burning you do. He recommended Fish Tikka... we thought it will be some out of the world experience. Turns out, it is the same as you get in a normal food joint but 5 times as expensive here! Essentially this place has dishes from Europe, US etc... doesn't appeal to our mass taste buds, you see :) . Clearly, Nagarajuna was catering to a different audience!

Location: Banjara Hills, Road No.36

Red Beans

2010-07-12T15:06:00.001+05:30

Been here once, for the lunch buffet. Nothing extraordinary (though their noodles were very good!). Starters had kabab and chinese, and the kabab was good. I am having difficulty recollecting the main course since it's been a while :( . All I remember from this is the Noodles :) . Next time, will update better, promise :)

Bowl-O-China

2010-07-12T15:05:00.000+05:30

A one time visit is all that I could manage to this place so far! Had schezuan chicken fried rice with some fish curry... don't recollect the name. Will update this the next time I go there.. this delay in updating is causing the memory loss :(

Sri Kavya Food joint

2010-07-12T15:04:00.000+05:30

Located right beside Anjappar, in Panjagutta, this is another parcel only joint. Tried biryani, mutton varities and chicken varities. No complaints at all :) .. just walk in and pick up any non-veg dish - I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thai Express

2010-03-02T10:32:00.002+05:30

Nicely perched on the first floor just beside Q Mart in Banjara Hills, this restaurant is one of those that really serves different kind of food, that is very close to the authentic cuisine of Thailand. For a change, we asked the waiter only to guide us through the entire menu and suggest what we should have. The coconut flavoured soup with mushrooms and chicken in it was simply superb. I am not a fan of coconut at all, but this soup was just brilliant! Fried squid as a starter was just an apt combination for this soup.

I realise now that I should have actually noted down the names of the main course items I ate. That's because they all unique Thai names that sound funny to the core! Alas, the concetration was on eating and hence no real names for now :( . Have the noodles in some kind of green soup, that has the right amount of spice, and it will surely make you feel like you are in Thailand! And for desserts, there is this soft rectangular white coloured thing that they wrap in a banana leaf and give it you....ahhhh... eat it to experience it! That's all I can say! For sure, we are going back there again.

Location: Adjacent to Q-mart, opposite Hyderabad House, Banjara Hills Road no.2

Needs Dhaba

2010-03-02T10:31:00.001+05:30

Which fool will walk into a Punjabi hotel and just order Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken 65? Yours truly :D :D ... but boy I don't have any regrets for doing so! I have heard so much about this place, located in Kundanbagh, Begumpet (beside the lane of Lifestyle building) that I really did not know what to order to take back home. First I thought, will take naan and butter chicken but was really not in a mood to eat them that day. Hence the wierd order, but believe me, it was worth it. For sure am going back to this place to have more!

Location: Kundanbagh Lane, beside lifestyle, Begumpet

The Westin

2010-03-02T10:27:00.000+05:30

This was our first foray into a big star hotel! Westin opened up right in the campus that we work, and we wanted to go and try see how a 5 star ( or is it 7 star) hotel serves its buffet! One thing is for sure - their hospitality is too much to take ;-) .. it's like, for every 25 steps you take, there's someone greeting you and trying to guide you :D.

Anyway, let's get down to business. Given that it is a star hotel, the spread iust lavish. I mean, mind blowingly lavish. Unfortunately, I can't say the same thing about the taste of many of these food items :( . The main course food was totally drab and dull (a couple of chicken items, and a couple of fish, but none of them were really spicy nor tasty). Rice items and noodles were just ordinary. The spread of desserts was also vast but really can't pick out anything and say that this stands out. I mean, there are a couple of items that taste good, but they are more like the exceptions to the rule, than the rule itself :D

Perhaps, I am not really cut out to eat at such places, for any food devoid of masala, spices and a unique taste simply doesn't appeal to me and star hotels are conspicously miserly when it comes to the usage of masala and spices :D.

We are not going back there, for sure!

Burgerman

2010-03-02T10:26:00.001+05:30

The concept behind this small kiosk outside big retail stores is really good. Read about the founders and how they expanded their businesses here. That said, I must say the taste of the burger is not superb. The main problem is that the bun is not fresh and soft! That takes away the fun of eating a really yummy burger. Also, the bun is small and a lot of sauces +cutlet+onions are crammed in between the two small buns, making the burger look larger (than life :P) !

All said and done, the concept is innovative and maybe the place is worth trying out once. I wouldn't go back there, for sure.

Location: Outside Ratnadeep super market, Somajiguda (and at many such places in the city)

Celebrations

2010-03-02T10:22:00.001+05:30

Tucked away amidst 'dense' cocounut and other trees, Celebrations is just a few metres away from the famous Vennela mess in Hitec City. Simply put, this is again one of those restaurants we would not be going back to. The buffet is just ordinary, and worse it serves "mutton with dosakaya". Sorry people, but I consider it a sin to coo any vegetable along with chicken/mutton. Robs the chicken/mutton of their taste, and that I consider sacrilege!

Location: Near Vennela Mess, Hitec City

Kabab Centre right next to Babukhan Mall!

2009-09-30T11:12:00.002+05:30

When I took Sisir to this place, he was surprised that one plate of Reshmi Kabab and 2 water bottles cost us Rs.100/- ! Well, kuch paane ke liye kuch khona chahiye :D. But after eating the Reshi Kabab he did not have any complaints! Of all the varities he offers, I like this the best. The Chicken Tikka comes next. Others can be given a pass.

Location: Somajiguda

Kulfi Bandi

2009-09-30T11:09:00.002+05:30

I think this roadside bandi is also named as Kulfi centre... I didn't observe the name because I was too busy eating the awesome kulfi on offer there!

This is located right outside the MCH stadium on Dharam Karam Road near Ameerpet. It has a simple menu. 4-5 varieties of kulfi. We had chiku, pista and normal kulfi's and all of them were awesome. We didn't have space to have Falooda too, but it sure looked yummy. Next time we go there, it is going to be Falooda festival!

Frankie

2009-09-30T11:03:00.002+05:30

Located right next to Lifestyle building, this place is similar to Roll Call, only that the menu is simpler and shorter :).

Again, double egg with either Schezuan Chicken or Chilly Chicken is ideal. And one is never enough here. Two is better. Three is perfect ;-)!

Roll Call

2009-09-30T11:01:00.002+05:30

Like the name suggests, this place offers a variety of rolls. We've tried 5-6 different varities of rolls, and all of them tasted good. With any roll, I make it a point to have double egg in it :). And depending on my mood, we will add either chicken or mutton to it :). These yummy rolls make for one of the best appetizers for dinner. If you get a chance, never miss to grab a quick bite here.

Subway

2009-09-30T10:57:00.002+05:30

I get hungry within 2 hours of eating a foot long sub too! So, it pains me to spend more than 100 bucks to eat something, and then within 2 hours, spend another 100 bucks to eat a Biryani outside ;-) !

This does not mean to say that the offerings of the menu are not good ;-). To keep it simple, you can just have the Egg with cheese sub. It is the best bet for a quick bite. To make it a little more complicated, you can add your choice of vegetables too. Only Ranch and Red Chilli sauce go good with the egg sub. Chicken Tikka Sub and also the chicken meatball sub are tasty. Mayonese and Southwest sauces are good with these. I do NOT like black olives, and therefore avoid them at all costs!

I never knew I will say this - but their veggie delight salad is truly a delight! If you get a chance, don't miss it!

Thai Ban

2009-08-23T17:25:00.003+05:30

Ok, I will start with a wierd observation. Chinese people add a "san" at the end of your name, if they are calling you with respect. I am assuming "ban" stands for the same in Thai :D. ok ok, let's get back to the saner world ;-)

This small place tucked away in the line of buildings opposite Brand Factory on Banjara Hills Road No.2 is simply awesome! That's it. That's the word. The Tom Yum soup is much better that other thai places in the city, and maybe the chef's hand is really good! We ordered a chicken cooked with a roasted thai paste (I don't remember its Thai name L ), and though it was spicy, it tasted very good. I think the key point here is that we have to eat it slowly over some time and not just grab it and eat it (old habits die hard, u see ;-) )!

And people, it will be a sin if you don't eat their Khad Pao, a specialized Thai rice. Believe me, I have eaten in some places which supposedly serve this, but this one was way too good and most probably is the authentic version of the original dish. We ordered prawns along with this, but I guess two spice items don't go well together. Next time, we should maybe take something mild that will go well with Khao Pad.

Sandeep bhai wanted to try a salad too, and we ordered the Papaya salad. We were actually expecting he will get papaya's :D, but the look of the dish surprised us. The taste surprised us too, in a good way! I must say, Thai ban is surely going to be a place that we will frequent more from now on.

Location: Banjara Hills Road no.2, Opposite Brand Factory

Cuisine: Thai (of course ;-) ), Chinese

Cost: Rs. 600-800/- for two persons

Dhaba Chulha/Baba's Chulha

2009-08-23T17:22:00.005+05:30

This place was right opposite my apartments, and I did not know about it for about an year! Ok, that was a little exaggerated. Somehow, the ambience of this small place did not appeal to me, and hence I never ventured to try food there. Finally, I thought we should atleast give it a try. And boy, did I regret not going there for so long! This place is essentially for take away food. Mutton Dakhin Curry, Mutton Rogan Josh, Chicken Butter Masala are my favorites here. Have them along with Nan and Steamed rice, and I guarentee you that will yearn for more. This place also makes rolls, which are needless to say superb!

Tangdi Kabab is a must eat at this place, no arguments about that. These guys have recently shifted to the basement of Neeru Silks (where Dosaz used to be there).

Location: Neeru Silks, Raj Bhavan Road

Cuisine: Indian

Cost: Rs.200 - 400/- for two persons.

45, Jubilee Hills

2009-08-23T17:19:00.003+05:30

The first time I went, I decided not to go again. And then I was taken there a second time, in unavoidable circumstances. The unavoidable circumstance being that vegetarians liked the food very much! And they had good reason too. The second time, I only had veg and realised that it was actually good!

However, if you are interested in non-veg, you can safely avoid this place. This guy puts in a lot of chilly powder in non-veg dishes making them all taste the same and also very spicy too. You cannot enjoy the taste of non-veg at all ! The salads and the desserts are very good.The red coloured theme is quite good, but the picture frames are a little wierd. For me, I don't think I will avoid this place further, even in unavoidable circumstances!

Sweet Nirvana

2009-08-23T17:15:00.003+05:30

Ready to put a BIGGG hole in your wallet? Rather in your friend's wallet ;-) ? Then Sweet Nirvana is the place you would want to go! The food is different and good, undoubtedly. But the pricing is what will stop me from going back there. Just for two of us it cost 1200 rupees. And we had 1/2 soup, one starter, one main course and some fish fry. We had chicken pasta with red and white sauce, and that dish was very good. Even the chicken soup was very good. I don't recollect the starter we had but that was also good! Fish fry was ok, because it didn't have any spices in it. This place is apparently famous for desserts, but we didn't have place in our stomach to accomodate further!

Location: State Art Gallery, Madhapur

Cost: Rs.1000 - 1200/- for two people!

Swathi Tiffins

2009-08-23T17:11:00.002+05:30

This place has almost been like a second home to me! Right beside my apartments, I have even lost track of the number of times I must have gone here. Idli, Masala Dosa, Onion Dosa, Uthappa, Set Dosa, Puri, Chapati, you name it, I had it! Meals, roti, nan, curries, again you name it, I had it! If you get a chance, don't miss this place. Worth trying stuff here.

Haiking

2009-08-23T17:08:00.003+05:30

Another famous Chinese restaurant. An old one in the city too. And super food too :). Though a little costly, this place is worth visiting for its exotic tastes. Cantonese soup, Hot and Sour Soup are ideal to start with. Chicken 65, and drumsticks are good choices for starters. Prawns and Fish dishes are good for main course along with any choice or rice and dal. This place has not lost its golden touch for a very long time, and hope it will continue to do so!

Shanbhag

2009-08-23T17:03:00.002+05:30

This along with Kamat, is the Grand Old Hotel of Hyderabad :D. Once my favorite tiffin place, this has become just another place I would go just because it has been a while since I have been there. Nonetheless, all tiffins are good here, especially the onion dosa and the rawa dosa. This has changed location three times and now even the name has been changed to Samarth Shanbhag. But for us, it will always remain as Shanbhag!

Tandoor

2009-08-23T16:57:00.002+05:30

Only once have I been to this place and the food was very unimpressive. The look from outside and the ambience inside is very regal. Only if the food matched the regal nature of the ambience, would it have been a super hit. And quite surprisingly the buffet had very few "tandoor" items! This junction has much better food places, and this one is something you can safely avoid.

The Great Kabab Factory

2009-07-13T09:28:00.004+05:30

A guest post from Akanksha … read on for the excellent recommendations

The name itself sounds so fascinating. A factory for kebabs.. A fountain of icecreams and a tree that grows chocolates - Isn't that what we've always wanted?? The guys who wait on you are dressed in overalls and you need to make sure you befreind an agile and happy looking guy because well.. you'll realise the importance of that during your meal!

Stick to the starters. Don't even think of trying the main course which has some sad sabji and an ok ok dal makhni with an average chicken/mutton/veg biryani. Its a minimalistic main course because the concept of this factory revolves around as many rounds of starters as your tummy and those loose pants permit!

After the starters, move directly to the desserts. On different days you have different options.. order one of each and you can taste and share.. Shahi tukda/Double ka meetha is damn good. Kheer/Sevai, kulfi on sticks are aso decent. Pan icecream is something I tried here for the very first time and I loved it. Do give it a try.

They throw in ulimited beer with your sunday lunch and one beer on other days.. The place is a little expensive and comes to 600 bucks on a sunday afternoon. But it's worth it!

Kebabs on the platter:

Galauti kebab - Just thinking about it makes me go weak in the knees. It is finely pounded meat and a lot love from the heavens .. really.. nothing else can make it melt so beautifully in your mouth.. Reorder multiple rounds of this kebab.. ocassionally with an ulta tawa ka roti.. and make a roll with the chutney and onions.. yum!

Other kebabs are good and you can pick which ones to repeat after you've tried all in the first round. Also ask him for other options for breads. I personally like sheermal.. its got a hint of sweetness which goes very well with most of the spicy kebabs.

Love the place and strongly urge you to visit it TODAY!

Location: Banjara Hills, near to the TRS office

Cuisine: Kababs, of course!

Price: Rs.500/- for lunch per head, and Rs. 750 for dinner per head

Our Place

2009-07-13T09:24:00.002+05:30

The name strikes a very interesting chord with you! It's like, you call up a friend and say, "Bhai! Let's meet at Our Place"! Basically, I think the name gives you a sense of belonging!

And neither does the ambience disappoint you, nor does the food! Lemon Coriander Soup, Tiger Prawns, Apollo Fish, the Saucy Chicken, and the veg spring rolls are excellent options for starters!

For main course, I have only one recommendation, for both the name of the dish and taste is just mind blowing! Eat the Kung Pao Kaprow (pronounced by me as Kappa Rao ;-) )! This is a thai flavoured rice that is very unique to Hyderabadi's. No other restaurant in the city serves this dish, that is spicy and tasty in equal measure! This rice is available in both veg and non-veg. forms. Frankly, you wouldn't need any dish to accompany this rice, but if you insist then maybe any mild saucy dish should be good enough with it.

Also, try to get a table on the hill here; it is quite a different experience!

Southern Mirchi

2009-07-13T09:21:00.002+05:30

Nagarjuna circle is slowly starting to boast of nice food joints that are hidden from main road! You have Roll Call and Subway for snacks, Midways for Bakery stuff, Harahs for lunch, and now Southern Mirchi!

When you first open the menu, you will not find anything southern about it. The appetizers are all Chinese, but hidden amongst that big list of Chinese are a few southern dishes like chicken fry, fish fry etc.

But what's southern about this place is the main course! The fish fry is very good here. For the main course, mutton iguru, chepala pulusu, chettinad chicken, chicken pulao, white rice etc are all good options. We also had Egg Porutu, which was also good. Basically this dish goes well with roti/naan, and we don't get this dish in many restaurants!

We ended our meal with a "tooti fruity" icecream! This place has is opposite to cinema paradiso, and has been decorated from the outside in a way so as to give it the southern touch. The interior is good, but doesn't have the authentic southern touch. Ohh and also, the waiters could do with a clean uniform!

I have been there once, and don't think that I will be there again. Not that the food is bad, but somehow it isn't inviting! Vegetarians seem to be having a lot of options, and also the menu of this place resembles very closely to that of Ginger Court. I really don't know what else to write beyond this : !

2009-07-13T09:12:00.003+05:30

The name is what attracted us to this place, but the experience was so bad that now the very name sounds repulsive! This guy brings Paneer Chat Phat when we ordered Paneer Butter Masala and then tells us that both are same curries, so we shouldn't bother much! We go in at around 2'o clock on a Saturday afternoon, and he tells us that the fish they have is stale, and fresh ones will arrive at 2:30!! And the food we ordered was not something to remember either! Anyways, this being a one time experience I am not sure if we can write off the restaurant, but I am not going back there for sure!

Adios Mangoes :(

2009-07-09T09:06:00.002+05:30

You know, these are testing times! I don't know whether to feel happy about the advent of the belated monsoon, or feel sad that the Mango season has come to an end! Mangoes made this summer yummier, and their taste just countered the disgusting feeling because of the excessive heat this year. Last year, I didn't have as many, but this year, I used to eat an average of 3 Mangoes per day! Infact, you know what - Mango is to the fruits, just like the lion is to the jungles!

But like they say, all good things have to come to an end. So for this year, it's adios to mangoes! The wait is on for the next year!

Bread Talk

2009-06-22T10:50:00.002+05:30

Located in a small section in the second floor of Q-Mart, this bakery is originally from Singapore! And the pastries they make are probably originally from outer space! The Mango Drop and Tiramisu pastries are so soft that they will melt even before they reach your throat! And the cheese cake there is ever fresh! Apart from these, there are lot of other items made on buns and breads, but they don't come anywhere close to the standards of the pastries!

Location: Second floor of Qmart, Banjara Hills Rd no.2

Mainland China

2009-06-22T10:48:00.004+05:30

This is one of the "veterans" in the cuisine business of Hyderabad! And also it has uniformly maintained it's high cost over the years too ! Mainland China is a quality Chinese place and you will not return disappointed from this place. I believe this place serves lunch buffet too, but I have never been to one. The ala carte menu is full of yummy items, and you will have a difficult time choosing them. Whatever it is, never forget to eat the fish and prawn items here as well as the chicken drumsticks for starters. Vegetarians should try the veg rolls and also the corn fry! There is nothing special to recommend for main course. The standard rice and noodles apart, I liked the Schezuan chicken too. Mainland China also has some festivals from time to time, and the dishes in them are worth trying too.

Spicy Venue

2009-06-22T10:45:00.002+05:30

More than the starters, the main course is very good here. Bomidayila Pulusu is his speciality along with natu kodi pulusu too. I had both these items with just white rice and couldn't get enough of them! Like the name of the restaurant suggests, the food here is spicy but what
purpose will Andhra food serve if it is not spicy!

Location: This place is on that road which will lead to yousufguda, when you take a right near Madhapur Peddamma Gudi junction

Mountain Bakery

2009-06-22T10:41:00.002+05:30

I have never visited this bakery, yet I feel like mentioning about this bakery! I went to school in Bharitiya Vidya Bhavan's in Jubilee Hills for all the 10 years, and I used to see this bakery everyday en route. My engineering College was located in Madhapur, and so for another 4 years, I used to see this bakery en route. And my work place is Hitech City, and I have been working here since three years, and have been seeing this place daily! So for a total of 16 years I have passed by this bakery daily and quite astonichingly never eaten here! I have no recommendations to make, but just wanted to mention the existence of a bakery that has been a part of my "journey" for 16 years!

Location: Adjacent to the mosque on Banjara Hills Rd. no 2

Chaitra - Chinese

2009-06-22T10:38:00.002+05:30

Well, Chaitra seems to be a weird name for a Chinese restaurant, but this place dishes out some really good Chinese stuff. Chaitra started off as an Andhra restaurant and the very inexplicably moved to Chinese! The Andhra stuff this guy prepared was also very good, and hence my surprise at this moving to a different cuisine with the same name!

Either way, you have to eat the Shanghai chicken for starters here. The Lemon Coriander Soup is next best to Aromas of China. The chicken scezuan fried rice along with nice chilly fish should complete your main course.

So basically don't worry about the name and relish the cuisine!

Location: Banjara Hills Rd.No 2 ( in the building opposite to the Lumbini Mall )

Sandarshini Tiffin Centre

2009-06-22T10:34:00.002+05:30

This place is located on the main road of Banjara Hills Road No.1, nearer to the Masab Tank Junction. This place has been here from a long time, and is self service tiffin centre that you should not miss eating if you are around that area. Practically all his tiffins are good, and more importantly the mint chutney he serves is an added attraction!

Serangiti

2009-06-22T10:31:00.002+05:30

I went here only once some 2 years back, and remember that the kababs we ordered were very good. I do not have a recollection of the exact menu, but the food and also the ambience is very good. This cost at this place is on the higher side. So if you are in mood to burn your pocket for some nice food, do go to this place!

Location: 5^th floor of Ohri's building in Banjara Hills

Cuisine: Continental

Cost: Quite costly!

Sahib Sindh Sultan

2009-06-22T10:29:00.002+05:30

The ambience of this place is very unique, and it is bound to impress you. The theme is that of a railway platform. So, the restaurant is basically divided into two parts. One is a railway bogie, and the other being the platform! The waiters are all also dressed in a unique manner. With so much variety to offer, the food also will not be lagging behind!

However, the problem I am facing right now is that I am not able to recollect the names of food items. Primarily because they are all also given unique names! The chicken leg pieces are excellent, the fish fry is very nice, the prawns are just yummy and the chicken kababs are also good. I didn't like the mutton kabab for starters though. For the main course, rotis with chicken gravy curries are a good choice. Don't go for the mutton kheema, for it again disappoints. I think any mutton dish at this place will not be upto the mark! And as always, vegetarians have to excuse me – I cannot recommend what to eat!

Cost wise, the place is a little high in its range. Also be prepared for the long waiting times if you go there at peak times.

Indi Joe

2009-06-22T10:26:00.003+05:30

The lunch buffet is very famous at this place. We've been here twice, and observed that the menu did not change much! Do not forget to have the chicken wings in the buffet. Combine them with the biryani and fish fry, and you will have a nice experience of eating good food. Also, if you have the patience to stand in the line, don't miss the special omlette made then and there for you! This place also serves some very nice desserts including fresh fruits. However, I don't think this place can be frequented given the similar nature of the buffet.

36 Chhattees

2009-06-22T10:21:00.002+05:30

This place too is on Road No. 36, Jubilee Hills, and hence named like that! This guy wanted to emulate Barbeque Nation and I must say that he came a poor second in this race! The barbeque's are neither hot nor are they tasty. Even the buffet lunch is nothing worth to talk about. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have been to Barbeque nation because you are bound to be disappointed.

36, Jubilee Hills

2009-06-22T10:19:00.002+05:30

Because this restaurant cum bar is located on Road No.36, Jubilee Hills, they named it so. There is nothing great about this restaurant to mention. There is a small personal experience that we all friends recollect about this place. Will not be mentioning that here though , because it has nothing to do with food! Anyways, this is not a place you will miss eating. You can easily give this place a miss!

2009-06-22T10:17:00.002+05:30

I think this is one of the most over rated restaurants in Hyderabad! Anything but south Indian food is good here! So far, the people with whom I've been here agreed with me, but then this place continues to see big queues! I am not sure why! The typical pulusus are all very sour in taste leaving your taste buds scolding you! I would not recommend this restaurant if you are looking for authentic South Indian food

Punjabi by nature

2009-06-22T10:15:00.002+05:30

ok.. i am changing my review! I went to the place today (March4, 2010) and they now a buffet in place, and it is just too good! 2 non-veg starters (both were super) one non-veg soup, 3 non-veg main course items are more than what you'd expect! The veg spread was also very good, I gathered from my colleagues. And believe it or not, all this for Rs.250/-! I'd strongly recommend this place now :) Ignore my previous review written below!

Don't go here! This place is costly and is NOT even close to being Punjabi by nature! We went there only once, and were so disappointed that we decided not to go back again. Chicken Biryani costs Rs. 395/- there! Almost every curry costs Rs.350-400/- and the taste is not even half worth the price! Even the ambience of this place is not even close to being Punjabi by nature! It is very safe to avoid this place.

Shangai’s Dice

2009-06-22T10:11:00.002+05:30

This is more like an offspring of Wang's Kitchen. There is nothing to mention in this place that will stand out. I heard that "Khao Pad" is a good thai dish, and ordered that here. But then, it was just curry spread over fried rice. I am pretty sure this is not the way it should have been prepared. Anyway, this is just a mediocore place taste wise, and I wouldn't recommend it if you have any other choice.

Taj Banjara’s food festivals

2009-06-22T10:08:00.002+05:30

I am no big fan of food in star hotels. However, the food festivals that I have occasionally attended in Taj Banjara have come as a refreshing change!

We've been there once for a Thai Food Festival and once for a Pakistani food festival. Both festivals were from the menu and not a buffet. The food we had tasted completely different from the the "Thai" places, and it actually felt like eating some authentic food of a different country!

If you come across food festivals in Taj Banjara, and are willing to spend Rs1500/- for two people, don't miss this opportunity!

You would expect a restaurant with this name to be serving Continental food, but hold your breath – this one serves Indian, Italian, and Mexican Cuisines!! It serves Inter-Continental food !

There's more to come. This is a only veg restaurant, and also has a bar! Since this is only veg, I have never been here! A colleague however had some very nice words about this place, and am placing them here for reference!

"This is a unique Indian/Italian pure vegetarian restaurant with bar. We tasted the Italian pizza and other starters. Food was very delicious. Lots of variety of veg Indian/Italian and Mexican dishes available here."

Get ready for some bad service in the Somajiguda branch if you are going in a large group. You will be perplexed as to how things can sometimes go bad with the service! Minerva is a very famous brand, and though it doesn't live up to its expectations, this place is still worth going to if you wish to have tiffins and then coffee!

Rawa Dosa, Poori, Pesarattu Upma are the best dishes here. We've had button idly, paper dosa and masala dosa too, but they don't live up to your expectations.

What will however exceed your expectations is the Coffee! This coffee has a very nice authentic touch to it, and whatever the food, having coffee here is a must. This place also serves thalis for lunch and dinner.

Karachi Bakery

2009-06-22T09:53:00.002+05:30

This bakery is quite big, and serves varied bakery items. But my mind (stomach rather ) is biased towards Baker’s Inn and Country Oven for cakes/pastries and Big Byte for burgers and pizzas.

So what is it that I like here? Not just me, but a lot of folks are simply in love with the famous Karachi Biscuits! Unique in taste, these biscuits serve as the best time pass snacks you can think of having during any part of the day! If you are in visiting Hyderabad, do not ever forget to take one of these back home! I haven’t eaten anything else here, so if anyone of you would want to recommend more, please feel free to do so!

Opposite to Taj Banjara, Banjara Hills Rd no.1

Harika Mess

2009-06-15T11:00:00.001+05:30

This one is near to my home. Not just the place, but even the food available is close to what is cooked at home!

If you are living in Somajiguda, my strongest recommedation is that you eat the Chicken Fry here along with the meals. Or better yet, cook rice at your home, get chicken fry from here and have a sumptous lunch!! I have eaten other non-veg items but this one stands out! Also the rasam, chutney, and sambar are also very tasty! I hope this guy starts serving biryani too one day. I am sure it will be a big hit!

If you are working near Hitec City, then there is no way you wouldn't have heard about this place! I think this is one of the few mess's that has AC too ;-). Always crowded, this place has become a huge hit around hitec city. And there is good reason why it became a hit too ! The food :-). There is no specific item to pick and say it is good, but almost everything they serve is worth eating!

Olive Garden

2009-06-13T16:22:00.003+05:30

When I first heard of this restaurant, I thought this was an Italian restaurant ;-) !

Mutton Rogan Josh with Butter Naan, and then white rice is the best thing one can think of having here. Also, the prawns starter, pepper chicken, and chicken 65 are yummy! Szchezuan fried rice is also made in a unique manner, but then you will have to order a chinese curry to go along with it.

These people deliver to offices in Hitec City, and that service is good too. Taste+Service is good, what more do you want!

Location: Near image hospital, Madhapur

Cuisine: Continental

Cost for two: Rs. 400 – 500/-

Chopsticks

2009-06-13T16:17:00.002+05:30

When we were in college, we loved the ambience of this place, because they served food in open air. Cantonese soup was our favorite then. Later on, they closed it down, and opened it at the same location, but the open air space was gone in road widening! So, I'd prefer only taking parcel from this place.

Thankfully, the taste is still intact! Chicken 65/Chilly Chicken along with any kind of rice and noodles is good here. No specific recommendations to give, but this place will definetely not disappoint.

Location: Srinagar Colony main road (nearer to the intersection where it meets the Punjagutta road)

Big Byte

2009-06-13T16:14:00.002+05:30

In 1996, a friend of mine in Intermediate tells me that he will be treating me that day to a burger! Now, who will even reject that offer. Little did I know that it will be at a place with which I will fall in love with!!

After that day, so many of us used to go there (most of the times, at the expense of one person only ;-) ), and this place became a "meeting point" for our gang! Even today, those who come visiting to Hyderabad make it a point to eat there ! Such is our attachment to this place!

Well, this being a bakery, you have a host of items on the menu. I will list all my favorites that you should never miss. If you cannot eat them all at one go, go there multiple times!

Chicken Bun, Mutton Chop, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Cheese Burger ( with the tomato sauce...mmmmmmmm), Chicken Pizza with Extra Cheese, Veg Roll and of course Thums Up/Pepsi along with these! Pineapple and Black Forest pastries are also good here.

13 years from the first time I ate there, this place continues to remain our favorite "meeting place"!

Location: Srinagar Colony

Flyover Bakery

2009-06-13T16:12:00.002+05:30

This being a bakery, we expect this to serve puffs, pastries, burgers etc! They used to do this before, but their Chinese cuisine was such a success that he could even open up a small eating joint in the second floor!! And he has now added Biryani, tandoori, and other forms of chicken into his menu too.

But I have been loyal only to his Chinese Cuisine. Cheap and Best! Singapore Fried Rice with Chicken 65, or better yet, Singapore Fried Rice with Schezuan Chicken (wet), Schezuan Fried Rice with Chilly Chicken (Dry), Soft Noodles with Chicken Manchuria, Just try the Tangdi Kabab - Take my word, you will not be disappointed!

Location: Greenlands Crossroad

Country Oven

2009-06-13T16:09:00.002+05:30

I think this is the first place to integrate both Bakery and Chinese stuff! Mutton Chops, all chinese items, and the cakes are the specialities. Country Oven runs an online service to order and send cakes to your loved ones. I have used that service many times, and never once have I been disappointed. I strongly recommend http://www.countryoven.com/ for any cakes/sweets/gifts you want to send to people in india ( that includes me ;-) )

Location: Greenlands

Baker’s Inn

2009-06-13T16:07:00.002+05:30

If you want to order cake, then this is the place to do it ! Always fresh and yummy, you will yearn for more! I like only the pastries and cakes here. Other bakery stuff like buns, puffs, rolls are not as good as Big Byte!

Also, these people are now serving chat and chinese too. Chat is not upto the mark. Chinese cuisine is good in taste, but it takes 20 minutes to serve which is a pain!

Location: Somajiguda

Chinese Bandi – Anytime, anyplace!

2009-06-13T16:04:00.004+05:30

Well,not anytime given that they "operate" in the night ;-) ! But anywhere... yeah!! Simple menu, high quality! No need to break your head to choose what to eat! Food for thought is not required here ;-) (ok, I know it is a PJ, but couldn't resist!) Each place has its unique taste, and needless to say all are equally good.
The amazing thing is the successful business model it creates! The revnue it generates is also quite impressive for the owners! One of them I know built a house in his village!
There are many places where you can eat, but the top three are these!

Outside GVR Mall
The one in the lane opposite to Model House in Panjagutta
The one outside Big Bazaar in Ameerpet
The one at the Hanuman temple near Srinagar colony/yousufguda cross road

By the way, here's the perennial question that keeps bothering me: Wonder when the Chinese will get the idea of opening Indian bandi's? :D !!

PS: Some consider this unhealthy, so this review doesn't concern them! ;-)

Maharaja Chat Bandar

2009-06-13T15:57:00.004+05:30

Am borrowing a review written by another friend, because this is the only way we can review that place!

If you are a fellow die-hard roadside chat-aholic, then look no further for heaven, for Maharaja Chat Bhandar, located near Madhapur Police Station holds the key! Even if you are one of those who think a "meal" consists only of rice/roti with sabzis and sambars, this tiny blue "redi" / "thela" can convert you in a panipuri

Try a first course of Alu Tikki, then savour your Pav Bhaji laden with butter, and finish off in style with a round of Dahi Puri. This place sells the kind of lip-smacking chat which can get people who driver the Benzes and BMWs to park on the side of the narrow lane, get out and rub shoulders with schoolgirls, auto drivers and IT geeks. Not even the slickest restaurant in town can compete with the Maharaja's smiling three-and-a-half-man operation, fast and friendly service and their ability to get your taste buds tingling. This place has been featured in local newspapers and with the Abids Gokul chat recently shut down, it has few competitors. Truly the one and only "Maharaja"!

Location: Near Madhapur Police Station

Cuisine: Chat

Cost for two: ~Rs.50

Coffee World

2009-06-13T15:52:00.002+05:30

There is only one recommendation to make here. Chicken Tikka Sandwich ( On brown bread ONLY ). Coffee and other items can happily take a back seat while eating this! Also, NEVER order the lemon jal jeera at this place. The combination just isn't right! This place also shares the menu with Pizza Corner. I have had some ver y bad experiences ( taste wise) with Pizza Corner located opposite the Mufakkam Jah College, some 10 years back, and from then on haven't preferred to eat with them!

Location: Shilpakala Vedika campus, Hitech City Junction

Cuisine: Snacks!

Tung Kein

2009-06-13T15:48:00.003+05:30

This is a small place located on the main road itself. However, the food is very good here! You should have the Noodles these guys serve! They are soft, thin and just invite you to eat more! Their Corn Soup is another speciality. Chicken Schezuan Rice is also very good here. Veg Manchurian, Chicken 65 are also worth their money. This place is moderate in cost, but scores very high in taste of food. I generally take parcel from here, or just ask them to deliver. Delivery service is also good.

Updates in Aug, 2009: American and Chinese Chopsueys are incredible.

Location: Near Shell Petrol Bunk, Somajiguda

Cuisine: Chinese

Cost: Meal for two- Rs.200-250/- !

Zafraan/Shangai Dice

2009-06-13T15:45:00.002+05:30

Both the restaurants are housed under the same roof, and both of them have the same menu too. This is no unique place, but the food is not disappointing. If you are a group of four, then the sea food platter is a good dish to have. Once you have this, there wouldn't be too much place left in your stomach ;-).

The other options are that you have the apollo fish, chilly chicken, and corn fry are good starters. Schezuan Fried Rice, Prawns, are also good chinese options. Naan with butter chicken, or just the Chicken Biryani aren't bad too. I think this place offers buffet for lunch but I am not sure though!

Location: Somajiguda

Cuisine: Continental

Cost: Rs.400-500/-

Green Park – Midnight Biryani

2009-06-13T15:42:00.002+05:30

I have been to this place twice only to eat the Midnight Biryani J. And I loved the menu. The Buffet has more than 20 items, and is indeed very satisfying. It is defitnitely worth a try, but make sure you go there hungry ! Only then can you do justice to the food!

Location: Greenlands

Cuisine: This review is specifically about the Midnight Buffet

Cost: Rs. 400/- per head

Ohri’s

2009-06-13T15:40:00.005+05:30

Ohris actually has 3 restaurants, but it is the Chinese restaurant that stands out amongst all these. Every item in their buffet is a treat to the taste buds. I cannot single out one item and recommend it. Menu items keep changing, and each time I have been there, I never found a reason to be not satisfied with their food. So, if you are going to Ohri's, then make sure you eat Chinese only!!

They also have branch in Basheerbagh - Ming's Court.

Akanksha has this to add about "Ming's Court" - follow her advice to the T, and you will never forget the experience!

I personally prefer Mings Court @ Basheerbagh to Far East @ Banjara hills simply because Mings court wins on every count - taste, quantity and price!!

Coming to the order.. and believe me this is an awesome order for 3-4 people.

Chicken Hot and Sour Soup ( "one by two" :D, and yes their quantities are brilliant)

1 Phuket fish (serves 2 happy and content fish lovers!)

1 Dry Chicken Schezwan(i like the starters version better but you can safely go ahead and order this in gravy with your noodles!)

Chicken schezwan noodles(medium spicy.. and I love it as it is or with the dry chicken.. doesn't need gravy!)

At the end of this meal they bring you a happy plate of fortune cookies and a bill of approximately 1100 bucks! totally worth the food and the ambience!

PS: if you're in a huge group.. book one of those cabins.. you'll have fun ringing the bells.. and just for the heck of it..do call for the complimentary chinese tea..it's not too bad!)

After dinner glide down the stairs and once u've digested some food, head to Havmor on the ground floor and order a nutty buddy(to be shared between min 4-6 people!!) Nice way to bond with friends :D

PPS: For my vegetarian friends - veg hot n sour is definitely the best here. for starters - crispy corn pepper salt and chilly sticks are recommended.

Gokul Chat

2009-06-13T15:37:00.002+05:30

Actually the must eat item I'd recommend here is not any chat item, but the Rs.5 ka Softy Ice Cream!!! Do NOT leave the place without eating it! This is one of the places that still give us this ice cream :D!

And now coming to the chat items, whatever this place serves is special! Hence its stature as the best place to have chat. My personal favorites are the Bhel Puri, Sev Puri, Bhajji, and Pani Puri. This place is always very crowded, and this was one of the main reasons this place was attacked by terrorists. Students never miss to eat here, because this is located right in the middle of multiple book stores. And once you eat here, you will want to come back again and again for sure!

Location: Koti

Cuisine: Chat

Cost for two: Rs.80 – 100/-!

Papaji ka Dhaba

2009-06-13T15:35:00.002+05:30

If you are one of those who are particular about ambience, read no further! If you are one of those who are particular about taste of food, visit this place ASAP!

There are no airs about this place. We have to just go and grab the next available seat. This one time, 3 guys were just standing right beside our table waiting for us to get done! I think it's been about 10 years since we started to go this place, and never once have we thought of stopping to go there!

There are no soups and starters that we need to bother about here. Order rotis/naans with Kheema fry, butter chicken, tandoori fry and after that apetitite is satisfied, order the Chicken Biryani. This Biryani has a unique taste, which I did not find anywhere else in the city.

Speaking of unique, here's something you should insist on eating in large quantities while you are there. He serves very unique chutney along with onions! That chutney not only goes well with the onions, but with the roti/naan and biryani too! You will not get such a chutney anywhere else J. End your meal perfectly by having their Lassi!

So next time you are anywhere near Abids, you know where to go and eat!

Location: Take right turn as after you cross R.S.Bros shopping complex in Abids. 200-300 metres into the lane, you will see Santosh Dhaba onto your right side. Right opposite to that is Papaji ka Dhaba!

Noodle Bar

2009-06-13T15:32:00.003+05:30

This place is located insidethe Hyderabad Central. The speciality of this place is that you can get to choose your own noodles. The give you a big list of options, which you can check and they make the noodles accordingly! So go ahead, and check your favorite stuff! Just be careful not to have too many sauces in your choice. One mild and one spicy sauce should be good enough. Vegetarians will love this place, because they just have too many vegetables in these options!

Nan King

2009-06-13T15:30:00.002+05:30

One of the earliest Chinese restaurants in Hyderabad, this tiny place in the busy Secunderabad area has never once lost its sheen in its long existence here. Practically every item is very good here, that it is hard to make just one recommendation for a full meal.

However, what one should never miss here are the awesome Drumsticks! Sometimes it is difficult to explain the taste, and the feeling after that – this is one of those moments! You should also have Cantonese soup. This soup is a little milder than what you get at other places, which I think is the right way of preparing this soup. Schwezwan Chicken Fried Rice is also cooked very well here, but any main course item is good here.

Being the famous place this is, the waiting time is sometimes excruciating. I am not a big fan of waiting for food :D, so I make it a point to generally go there a little early. They have recently extended their seating area, but I heard the wait still didn't get any better!

Anjappar

2009-06-13T15:26:00.003+05:30

Let me directly come to the best part - Chicken Biryani! This is not like the typical dum ka biryani we get at other places, but more like the Pulao they make at home. Just too good :)

For starters, the Anjappar Fried Chicken, Apollo Fish, Fish Fry are very good options. Chicken/Mutton soup is also very good, and tastes very much like what it is in Malgudi. Idiappam with Fish Pulusu is also a good option for main course, but given a choice, go for the chicken biryani!

However, the service is not something we liked there. There are just too many waiters, waiting for a signal from you! They don't know what half the items are, and sometimes are even confused as to how to serve!

And vegetarians have no Anjappar specials here. They have to adjust with the Chinese stuff on the menu. Surely, you wouldn't want to eat Chinese food in a restaurant by the name Anjappar :D ! They can order the Thali, which is in no way a unique one.

But non vegetarians can have a field day here, that's for sure!

Dwaraka Tiffins

2009-06-13T15:22:00.003+05:30

We frequent this place only when we go to play tennis, as this is nearer to the stadium.

All tiffins are good, but the best I liked here is the Button Idly. ~10 pieces of small idlis will be put into a bowl full of sambar and given to us. And that is one of the most ideal ways to begin your "food day"! Apart from this, after a veryyy longgg time, I had Paper Dosa here! And as usual, it was very good! Well, Paper Dosa is like any normal dosa, just that it is very long in size! Still, if it doesn't taste good, how can one person contemplate to eat it fully: D! The other regular stuff is also good here, and this is one place where you would surely want to go back.

Fishland

2009-06-13T15:19:00.002+05:30

Contrary to what the name suggests, except fish delicacies, everything tastes very good!! Not that the fish is bad, but then chicken and prawn dishes score way more points than fish :)

This is also the ideal place for you to eat before watching a movie either in Sensation or Amaravati. For starters, without blinking, you should order the chicken platter. 3 people can easily eat the whole thing, and still have nice main course. After trying a lot of options for main course here, we have zeroed in on the Special Chicken Biryani. This dish is the best in Fishland. We've tried Chinese dishes too, but this special chicken biryani beats all of them!

Like all special chicken biryanis in many restaurants, this guy also serves chicken 65 over the biryani, but there is some tinge of something that is added that makes it unique and makes us eat that dish always: D!

Four Seasons

2009-06-13T15:17:00.003+05:30

Toli Chowki Junction actually offers us some of the best cuisine in Mediterranean.

Four Seasons is one of the best in these. We were a group of seven people, and we ordered a big platter (based on the recommendation of the waiter), and what a recommendation it turned out to be! Each item in that platter competed with the other to be called the best! I can never forget the rich taste the platter had, and would surely recommend to have it when you go there! Apart from this, their Biryani is also very good.

If you are not a big group, then you can just order individual items instead of the platter, and be rest assured that you will love the food!

Update on July 16: I just came back from the Kondapur branch! And this food is as good as ever! Here's the menu - Mutton Soup, Tangdi Kabab, Grill Fish, Chicken and Mutton Biryani. More dishes were recommended, but no place in the stomach could be found! Next time, for sure!

Location: Toli Chowki Cross Roads

Mandhar

2009-06-13T15:13:00.002+05:30

Well, if you order Apollo Fish, that's when the cost goes up to 500, because Apollo Fish alone costs Rs.200/- !!

This restaurant is located in the same compound as that of Four Seasons. Have the Tangdi Kabab along with the Apollo Fish, and your apetite will be satisfied! Also, the Chicken Biryani here is good, and tastes a little different than other traditional places. If you are working in Hitec City, then this place is just a 15 minute drive, and it so worth it!

I am planning to go to this place many more times, and will keep updating this space with more dishes J

Poorna Tiffins

2009-06-13T15:09:00.004+05:30

There is never place to stand inside and eat too. People have to stand outside and eat many times. People coming in car find parking difficult here. All this is because Poorna Tiffins serves one of the best tiffins in the city.

The soft idlis with hot ghee, the pesarattu with yummy upma in it, the masala dosa, ohh, you name it, you will like it! This place is very simple from the outside, and at peak times is full of people. There is nothing to caution you about here, so if you are around that area in the mornings, don't miss a chance to break your fast here (ok, I know it is a poor joke :D!)

Location: Actually, get to Krishna Nagar road near Yousufguda, and ask anybody. They will point you to the lane in which this hotel is there.
Cuisine: Tiffins
Cost: Tiffins for 2 – Rs. 50-75/- (depends on how much you eat: D)

Chutneys

2009-06-13T14:58:00.002+05:30

This restaurant recently got into national news because Rahul Gandhi had tiffin at this place. He had Guntur Idli and Steam Dosa. Both good choices, I must say! It took me a long time after the restaurant actually opened to visit it, but after my first visit, I liked the place much better than the "Grand Old Hotels", Shanbhag and Kamat.

This place serves us with 5 chutneys unlimited, for any kind of tiffin we order. Both the Guntur Idli, and the Babai Hotel Idli are must for anyone entering this place. If your apetitite still permits, have the mint dosa, or the steam dosa. If your apetitite still permits, have the onion and tomato Uttappam. By now, your apetite would have been saturated :D!

There is also this dish in which they serve us with four different small uttapams ( mint, onion, tomato, and karam). I did not like the mint and the karam uttapam as much I liked the other two, so I ordered just the Onion and Uttappam during my next visit J

This place also serves South Indian and North Indian thalis for lunch and dinner, but is best known for tiffins and hence we shouldn't miss a chance to have them instead of the regular meals.
