Southern Food Corner.



This is one of the cleanest small tiffin centers I have seen.
The prices are on the slightly higher side. Maybe 5% to 10% more than other tiffin centers but totally worth it.
The takeaway packing is also done quite well.

Location: Banjara Hills Rd 10, close to City Center Mall.

Hard Rock Cafe, Hyderabad :- A place worth visiting only with FOES ... after all ... how can you allow your own self or your friends to be ripped ... ripping of foes, now that is worth it ...

I accompanied my friend who needed to get his driving licence renewed at Khairatabad. Later, he decided to buy a few kurtas from Encore on Road No. 7 in Banjara Hills. Came out of Encore at 12:30 and saw that the sky was overcast. Made a dash for GVK One Mall and ended up at Hard Rock Cafe.

Myself and my friend were there with a single point agenda : To have "Good Time". So we proceeded to do exactly that. After seeing the invoice, I am sure one cannot really have a good time there since it costs 147 per glass.

A plate of french fries costed 105 + 10 % SC + 14.5 % VAT

They have a lunch special going on :


I decided to convert my offer into a legendry 10 oz burger with bacon :

The burger did not fill my stomach, so I ate my regular rajmah-chawal lunch at home later to satiate my very very normal Punjabi hunger.

My friend decided to add extra cheese to his chicken burger since the regular burger came without cheese. That one slice of Cheese was 50 + 10 % SC + 14.5 % VAT.

So 2 weekday lunch specials with conversion and cheese set us apart from 720 + 10 % SC + 14.5 % VAT.

We were not served the free drink with the offer. I guess one needs to ask for it.

My friend requested a dribble of chocolate sauce with his vanilla and pat got the reply, "Sir, 50 extra."

Happy Hour Offerings :


Did you miss seeing the blue coloured equal sugar-free packet on the right bottom of the menu ... wonder why I put it on the menu while clicking ... check out the manufacturing date of the satchet ...

Apart from the TWO ORIGINAL Bade Miyan Kababs located at Tank Bund, here is one more : Bade Miyan Kababs Outlet located at the exit gate of Babu Khan Mall which is opposite Kala Niketan Wedding Mall and also opposite the Indian Oil Petrol Pump. It is just before Bakers Inn.

Here are their offerings :


Enjoy!

Bajaj saab, I love Bade Miyan Kebab and have been visiting their original outlet since ages.

Been to somajiguda outlet only once with Milecruncher while roaming the city roads one dark night. We took parcel Patthar Ka Ghost and Sheek Kebabs. Both, were absolutely delicious.

Btw, pricing was exactly the same and this was much before June'10 so dont know what he has revised?

True. I travel from Nizampet to Somajiguda just for the Pathar Ka Ghost here!
Even I am not able to spot any difference in the revised menu. (Maybe the chicken items were priced lower earlier!)

It's been only once or twice I ordered chicken items from Bade Miyan. Else, it is always the pathar ka ghost, sheek, etc.

Had been to Roti-Shoti last evening for Dinner with wifey and ordered the following.

Kashmiri dum aaloo- No stuffing in aaloo, light gravy
Warqi Parahtha- good
Plain Naan &
Pudhina rice- This was nice.

Was surprised to see that the hotel was packed on a thursday evening, taking cognizance of the fact that the restaurant was inaugurated on 12th of last month.

Total Damages- Rs 370, with tips.

The menu with prices at the time when the Babu Khan Mall outlet was started a few years back is below :


Hmmm ... now I know the price difference between THEN and NOW?

The increase is in no way making it expensive ... tasty and reasonable is all I can sum up the food here, especially with the spicy hot and yummy green chutney that they serve with.

That sounds reasonable Waseem. How's the ambience and where is the exact location in PG road?

Last evening, unexpectedly a few tbhpians had a last minute ( literally decided at 6:45pm) dinner meet at Haveli in Kondapur.

Me, Ravveendra, Rajesh Rawal, Pulsar 56, Milecruncher and his beautiful lady friend, Pulsar56 relished some refreshing mocktails and main purpose was to enjoy their chilly prawns which we made sure did full justice.

We ordered their signature Chilly Prawns so many times, waiter must have thought we were loony.

Apart from several plates of prawns, we had :-

Fish Tikka
Appollo Fish
Fish Ajwain Tikka
Veg Platter
Dal Tadka ( it was a bit bland, i didnt like it)
Mutton Biryani ( It was good)

Food as usual was quite delicious.
Come to think of it, we didnt order chicken last evening
Total Damages ( Rs.5800)

So my dinner of yesterday with family got postponed to today.

Waseem, is it worth going to Roti Shoti or should i stick to tried and tested Sholay/mayabazar?

Its opp to ICICI ATM, next to Heritage fresh.

Its a a guest house converted to a restaurant, the ambience is theek-theek types and its a pure veg restaurant.

Nothing much to offer.

Less than a week to go for Ramzan.
The fireplaces are getting ready and the testing has begun. Most small cafe's places will start serving Haleem from today evening. This is a picture from Hafeezpet.

Enjoy!

I feel terrible for not eating at this joint though I used to live literally next door to it! Never mind, I will make it up in my next visit/stay. Sholay is also on my To Do list! Till date I get dreams about Four Seasons and Dine Hill
