The prices were quite reasonable too. Cost me only 600 bucks for 5 of us. I loved the chicken drumsticks the most---priced at Rs 100 for 8 pieces.

I dont know how i missed this.Try Appollo fish, veg spring rolls and chens special chicken next time.chicken drumsticks are my favourite too.
Try the Bombay kulfi wala, which is in front of DPS.His kesar badam kulfi is awesome.

Last night, post midnight. Mobike008 +1, Milecruncher, Rajesh Rawal+1 drove down to Shamshabad Airport and had dinner at the food court there.

Ordered the following :-

4 Chicken Steak Burgers
1 Mutton Sheek Kebab
1 Mutton Kheema Muglai Parantha
4 Jaljeeras
2 Water Bottles
3 Mountain Dew Caps ( FREE!!!)

Total Damages : Approx Rs.1000

Chicken Steak Burgers were nice but, I like the KFC burgers better.

Sheek Kebab was OK. I felt it was too salty

Kheema Partha will dollops of cheese on top of it was the best item.

Its a nice place to chill and satiate your late night hunger pangs

Unfortunately NO !

Forgot to add, before going to food court. Snacks that were being munched by us was :-

KFC Chicken Bucket
Tandoori Chicken from Y2K

I didnt taste the KFC chicken, probably RR can review it.

I tasted the tandoori chicken from Y2K. Honestly, i didnt quite like it. Along with the bite, there was something grainy along with chicken. Probably the charcoal leftovers or something?

Mobike008.
I Cant resist Kheema Muglai Parantha. This is one of my favourite.
Last nite i had been to PAKVAAN and had Tandoori Chicken,dum ka murgh with rumali roti.Tandoori Chicken was yummy.

Has anyone tried SFC at Road No 12 Banjara Hills? I loved the burgers there, specially the double meat one - beats all KFC, Mc Donalds etc. Quiet resonable as well.

Update :

The Grand Wok ( Chinese Restuarant) has weekday lunch buffets at Rs.149++ and Dinner Buffets for weekdays and weekends is priced similarly at Rs.299++ ( Rs.342 Nett)

Hearing good things about them.

Plan to visit them tomorrow evening for dinner.

Thanks, will do. That route is often used by me, so I guess I'll try those in my next visit. I never saw that Kulfi wallah---will try this time though.
Thanks.

That kulfiwala does brisk business from 7-11pm, right in front of DPS.
Try Pakvaan restaurent if you havent, his kebabs and tandoori dishes are great.

SILVERWOOD · 6th June 2010, 19:31

Did anyone visit Hotel Basra Pride, Beside Red Cross School, Road No. 1, Banjara Hills.?

Next time when you visit Delhi, please try Nizams Kathi Rolls at CP (behind pvr plaza, if you havent)
Their pepper chicken kathi roll (with double egg) is to die for.
