Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Last evening, we visited the sandwich shop at Balaji Grand Bazaar in Basheerbagh after a long time. Had these :- Regular Sandwiches ( Rs.15 each) Toasted Sandwiches ( Rs. 25 each) Samosa with bhel ( Rs. 15 each) This is easily one of the best place in our city to enjoy sandwiches. Truly marvellous sandwiches Regulars were very tasty Toasted were out of this world. Samosa can be avoided Need to make it a point to visit them regularly. Apart from good sandwiches there is an added attraction of good crowd |

| ![]() He is still there Avi Bhai. He sells Falsa Juice all through out the year. It's Navrang Juice Center on Mozamjahi Road, opposite to Hanuman/Ram Temple. This area is known as Jam Bagh X Roads. He also sells concentrates. Try his Falsa, Khus, Green Apple. I would say most of his concentrates are amazing and VFM for sure. Each 1ltr bottle of Concentrate costs about 60/- |

Falsa is a seasonal fruit which is available only for 4-5 weeks in Apr-May. Grewia asiatica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | |

SriOmCompany_DryFruits.pdf Okay, missed eating Paani Puri so compensated it by visiting Ram Singh located just after Siddambar Bazar Mata Mandir for his lovely soft fantastic delicious Gulab-Jamuns which are priced @ 10/- each. Also had a plate of Matare Wali Aloo Tikki priced @ 14/-. He is located at Wikimapia - Let's describe the whole world! Last edited by hyd_traveller : 29th October 2010 at 15:38. | |||

| ![]() I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Residency hotel in Nampally. I don't recollect its full name but it's got this lunch buffet with stupendous variety ranging from average to good in taste. And it's total paisa vasool stuff. Now, the task is to identify something similar/equivalent closer to KPHB/Miyapur/[BJ] Hills/Madhapur/Kondapur. Similarity is a must because most of the people who are going to attend this dinner are those who don't want to try new things, and anything "different" will be a total party-downer. Any pointers? Regards, spadix |

| ![]() Not exactly about eating out in the Twin Cities ... Come Diwali and it is time to light up and enjoy. Crackers are an integral part of the festival though they are the source of very severe air and sound pollution. Shanthi Fireworks in Feelkhana/OsmanGunj and Bhavani in Secunderabad are the most famous but I tend to stick to "Vishnu" Fire Works since I find the shop to be better organised ... ample parking, shopping carts like in supermarkets to make purchases, electronic billing via check out counters like in supermarkets, etc. Vishnu Fireworks have started an outlet on Balkampet Road thus saving me the petrol and time to travel to OsmanGunj. Their outlet is located at Wikimapia - Let's describe the whole world! Today being the last sunday before Diwali, I went and finished my purchases (or should I say I went and paid the bill while my kid made the purchases). Samples of pricing : 1) Standard brand "TriColour Fountain" - 5 Anars, MRP 878, Purchase Price 180. 2) Standard brand "Colour Flowers" - 10 Giant Anars, MRP 757, Purchase Price 150. 3) Standard brand "Zameen Chakkars Deluxe" - 50 pieces, MRP 1930, Purchase Price 400. 4) Standard "Gold Sparklers" 15 cm - 50 pieces, MRP 695, Purchase Price 150. 5) Standard brand "Electric Crackers" - 25 Ladis, MRP 1175, Purchase Price 250. All in all, MRP of my bill was 17,797 while I paid 3,130 in all. A whopping 82.4 % discount on MRP. Happy Diwali!!! |

![]() Friday ( Oct 29th) Dinner was at "Sholay" Tomato Soup Veg Platter Ragda Mutton Paneer Tikka Masala Roti Platter First time noticed, Tomato Soup comes with 2 bread buns and butter. All other dishes were as usual excellent Ragda Mutton was the highlight. It had meat kheema as gravy and large chunks of meat as the pieces. I like the pieces to be small not huge sized. Taste wise it was excellent. Total Damages : Rs.850 Then from there visited Naturals at Secunderabad and enjoyed Sithapal and Roasted Almonds. Delicious is a subtle word Then took a U-turn and headed towards Lakdi ka pul for some masala thums-up. Superb. Btw, he hiked the rate from Rs.20 to Rs.25 Saturday ( Oct 30) There was a pre-diwali meet at Milecrunchers place and there were 15+ friends who turned up to wish each other for a safe and happy diwali Food was ordered from Deccan something ( at Somajiguda) All gravy dishes were superb and Andhra Mutton stood out like a "fine thumb" There was a mughlai chicken cooked in white sauce or gravy. It was different and quite nice in a blandish way. Mutton Biryani was quite sad Sunday ( Oct 31) Got up early for a thing that i dont do usually. Enjoy breakfast. Went to Minerva Coffee Shop and had Button Idli with Butter ( excellent), Wada ( Better than excellent) and Masala Dosa ( Shame on them) Idlis are Rs.40 a plate Wadas Rs.45 Masala Dosa is Rs.55 which was not worth at all But, the ambience and eye catching crowd on a sunday morning for breakfast is worth the moolah you shell out Followed by a lovely drive to Gandipet and Himayathsagar and return home via. the ORR. Gandipet has so much water, its worth a visit if someone wants a quick picnic close to home. Lunch was home made food with a Chicken Fry ( Rs.80) and Gongura Mutton (Rs.95) from Megha Spicy Food in Ameerpet. Quite nice and meat was really tender Dinner was Burgers and Wings from KFC Whew! That was too much eating out. This entire week switched back to starvation and exercise mode ![]() | |

![]() Update: The venue for the buffet dinner has been decided as Taj Tristar. I don't know if heart of Sec'bad at around 8:30 pm is any "closer" to KPHB/Miyapur than Nampally :(. Does anyone know of any temple with a car God that can listen to prayers to protect car clutches from "bad things"? I promise to become a believer. Regards, spadix | |

Its been a few years since i had a thali. My favorite was the Andhra Mess ( Kakatiya) at Ameerpet opp. to Swathi. However, that was many years ago and now we cannot visit that place as its too small and not at all decent for a meal ( ambience wise) But, since you seemed to have enjoyed it so much. Then its got to be worth it ![]() | |
