After speaking with my contact at Hampshire Plaza, seems like we left a mark there too by gorging on a bit too many plates of snacks.

He said offer that was available last time is still available but, he said he cannot accomodate unlimited ( 1-Veg and 1 NV Snacks) for Rs.100 additional as he took a lot of flak from his management last time for his generous offer...LOL. So i told him make it Rs.550 per head instead of Rs.500 we paid last time around for the same offer.He is yet to revert.

Anybody else is also trying for any deals or expect me to do the mule's work each time?

LOL Avi, cannot think of anyone with negotiating skills comparable to yours! (As your contact in NHP found out).

We could take the NHP offer of Rs.400/- (their basic package) and pay seperately for snacks. Everybody gets palli-batani! Seriously, if we order at the rate of one plate per 2 PAX the bill will not be too much.

Cheers,

I dont you think, one plate would be sufficient to one person, what about two??

Also are you sure of the price??? I once paid more than 400/- for a plate of some chicken snack in the Hampshire. I think the 550/- or 600/- per person is a good offer, Avi bargain for that if others dont have any objection!!!

BTW, what about the Fortune Katriya or Katria de Royal???

Nawab Blah Blah Blah Nazim, can you mention some other options???

himanshugoswami · 19th August 2009, 12:29

Guys, I have one question.... why are all our dinner meets in one part of the town only...lets have one around madhapur/gachibowli this time for a change so that some of us lesser mortals dont need to travel all the way for once

I can find out the rates at F9 in Kondapur if people are game for that

Anyplace is fine, just that we go whereever the price is right. We have had meets at Kondapur, Madhapur, Lingampally .........

Cheers,

True to what Himanshu is saying...I dont mind driving to Gachibowli,Hitec side of town for a change.
HP is too close to my house and each time I ride a 2-wheeler and come there to avoid parking congestion.That means i dont get to take my cars out for the meet,unlike FK or other places we met.

Himanshu, if you can match Avi's negotiating skills, we don't mind madhapur/kondapur/gachibowli/shamshabad etc!
