-   -   A Guide: Eating out in Hyderabad/Secunderabad/Cyberabad (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/shifting-gears/45546-guide-eating-out-hyderabad-secunderabad-cyberabad-119.html)

I bought some chicken kabebs from them.
Found them ok.
The chicken was tender and it had some coriander paste stuck on it.

That is the only thing I have bought there and didn't find them interesting enough to warrant a return.

How was your dinner.? Did you get a chance to try kulfi.?

"Heavenly" is the word that comes to mind.

Last evening, some of us (Mobike008+1, Ravveendra, Rajesh Rawal+2)= 6 People met up at Ravveendra's home around 8:30pm.

After completing our "discussions" at his home, we headed to Sholay for dinner around 10:00PM.

We ordered the following

Kebab Platter
Bhatinda De Kukkad-2 No's
Rumali Rotis,Rotis, Naans
Chicken Biryani
Mutton Biryani
5 Beverages

After 20% discount the bill came to Rs.2000 ( inclusive of tips) which is total VFM as it includes cold beverages too.

Kebab platter was delicious. However, the portion/items in it were a bit less.

Bhatinde De Kukkad is the signature dish here

Biryani here is quite different and i love the flavour and unique smell of it.

Overall, Sholay is slowly but steadily becoming my second home..errr is it second kitchen?:D

As it was 11:30PM when we came out, we skipped the kulfi this time.

Couldnt agree with you more on the kulfiwala.They are a group of people from the same village in MP and have come in from Mumbai now.They are around 4-5 people,one stands opp ICICI,Karkhana/1 opp GVK 1 mall/1 opp Acer Motors,Trimulgherry/1 in front of DPS.The kulfis aside,the faloodas that these guys serve are something to die for.Try their dry fruit faloodas priced at 30rs,its simply amazing.Most ideal thing for the summers.

Great VFM i must say. Will try out soon.please let me know how to avail that 20% discount, was that a corporate discount or something.?


I dont like faloodas a lot, will try next time. I have seen people asking him to pour EXTRA rabdi when they order.
One more person stands at PG road too, near SBI atm.

They have opened their branch in Koramangala area in Bangalore!:thumbs up

It's available only for TBHP members, thanks to Hyd_Traveller.

Before ordering, you announce to the maitre'd that your part of TBHP and will be expecting this discount.

Your one lucky fella:thumbs up

I second mobike008.
Lucky fellows....

Can we Hyderabadi's persuade Tunde kababi to open up a branch in Hyd.?

Breaking news: The branch of Tunde kababi in Ghaziabad is fake one. They have only 3 franchisee. Lucknow, Varanasi & Bangalore.

Tunde Kebabs a.ka. Galaouti kebabs were real good when i had them @ ohri's serengiti (rd no.12 b.hills):thumbs up

obviously the price was on the higher side.

another place i recollect having them were @ airport food court mein s.f.i wala counter.

the best ones are in lucknow though:)

Well, firstly, are Tunde and Galouti the same kebabs? Is the ingredient Papaya for both of them?

As far as i know, Papaya is used for Tunde Kebabs for sure.

Also, you may get it in any big restuarant but, eating them from an outlet who is a specialist in these kebabs would be an altogether different experience.:)

Yes... Very Much.

Tunde Kababi has mastered the art of Shahi Galawati kebabs.

Papaya is used to soften the mutton, But these kebabs are prepared without adding any binding agent. Pure minced meat (without fat) made from thigh meat (raan ka gosht) and spices.

Here is the history behind the name Tunde Kebabi

According to a legend, one of the noblemen about 150 years ago lost his teeth. Worried that he might be deprived of kebabs he asked his master chef to prepare such kebabs that he could relish without his teeth, indicating that the kebab should melt in the mouth instead of being chewed. The result: a unique kebab that acquired fame world-wide. Later the master chef's son Murad Ali took it out of the palace. Ali was referred to as Tunda owing to his loss of a hand. So his preparation came to be called Tunde ka Kebab. Though the Nawabi era ended, Tunde ka Kebab not only survived but also became the main attraction for the locals as well as visitors to the city. Not only an uncommon name, it has a peculiar taste too. Its masala is a mix of 160 spices and the recipe a family secret. As the city expanded and Tunde Kebabs became a craze.

Guys, I have tasted their kebabs in Lucknow and they were way tastier than the kebabs that you get in Bangalore!! :Frustrati

Even their trademark Kheer is bland. .But, the brand sells!!

Then i am happy it hasnt opened in Hyderabad yet:D

Until then i will make do with Bade Miyan Kebabs ( which are also unique and amazing in their own way)

This is bound to happen, take the example of Karim's in Delhi. He has so many branches in NCR, but his chandni chowk branch is still the best and food is way tastier than his other branches.



Dear mobike008,

Nai mamu se nakta mamu sahi, as this hyderabadi idiom says.

betw: i have never been to bade miyan kebabs in Hyderabad, but i like Chicken Baida roti, boti kebab, mutton seekh kabab and gurda fry served at their colaba branch.I am not sure if the hyderabad branch is thier franchisee.

Please recommend any new good Buffets around Madhapur-Kondapur with a per plate cost around 200/-.

Non Veg preferred.
