Congrats Man.

I don't think you could spend Gift Vouchers for restaurant bills,they have meal vouchers for the same.

The best way to spend is to take your +1 for shopping and spend the rest on the Junta.

Do you honestly think there will be anything left after a shopping spree?

I need that in writing first. Post that i may ponder on your recommendation

Anyways, no more offtopic.

Need suggestions for a good place for dinner tomorrow. Somewhere with good ambience and tasty indian food.

I was thinking of Khansaab. Other recommendations are welcome. I am open to good dinner buffets too.

A deal with the "C Factor"(Madhapur) is currently running. Are there any feedbacks available for the food quality, taste and the ambience.

I am sure somebody on this thread must have visited it... no?

I think Khansaab would be a good choice.Its seems the pricing is moderate and the food is awesome.

Saar, take this as an advice. Never suggest Paradise to a Hyderabadi Connoisseur of Food . It will save you a lot of brick bats :P Paradise is no more the place that it used to be 7-8 years back. Their food is totally bland and mostly bereft of any flavour. It is now made to suit the palates of out of towners. Bawarchi, Astoria, Garden et al are much better in terms of the product offering as well as pricing.

I am also waiting for a review before I buy their vouchers.

Thanks. This is almost decided and should be spending our evening there tomorrow.

I have tinted my windows just recently and you spotted me on a road that i dont use so often

Btw, Paradise is a place that we all have done to death. In constant search of greater glory

After a visit to "All India Industrial Exhibition" where we gorged on a plate of mirchi bhajji and sugarcane juice. We came out at 9:30pm and decided to try out the biryani at Point Pleasant, Rd 10, Banjara Hills

Mutton Biryani : Rs.160

Diet Coke ( 2 No's) : Rs.80

The place is quite nice in open area with lots of trees around. We just wanted to taste the biryani and ordered just that.

To my aghast, we found that its quantity was huge ( first turn-off) and rice tasted bit old and meat pieces where large chunks ( second turn-off) with mostly bones in it.

Overall, it was a very ordinary biryani and we couldnt even finish half of it as wifey didnt like it at all.

Avi: The extra rice is usually given out post 9 or 9:30 PM, when they start running out of the meat in the biriyani. They are totally out of biriyani by 10 or 10:30 on most days. Best time for having biriyani there is before 8:30 (either dine-in, carryout or home delivery). You'll get the right amount of rice with meaty pieces. That's been my experience of that place.

Hmmm, will try out as suggested but, wifey has outrightedly denied to visit again.

Btw, I see lot of lucknowi kebabs in menu ( Kakori etc). How do they taste?

Haven't had the kebabs there as yet. Have had the nihari though.... Very Tasty but, Very Spicy too (for me atleast!)

[mobike008]

Last evening been to "Khan Saab" for dinner. The entrance foyer is one of the best in our city with a gigantic elephant ( 12 feet + in height) that welcomes you. However, we were dismayed to note there was a waiting of 1-hour but, i coaxed one of the pretty ladies and she succumbed to my charm and we got our table in 30 minutes.

When you enter the decor is predominant indian and afghani with couple of lovely huge paintings of afghan demi-gods and room is so big, its like a hall with a staircase leading to another section on top. Later we found this "hall" was noisy and clanking of cutlery too disturbing.

We ordered the following

1. Tomato Shorba ( 2 No's) : Rs.160
Very good

2. Dahi Galaouti : Rs.190
Four small pieces of round shaped kebabs which were a tad too soft. I mean,it was so soft it was almost like paste and loaded with green chillis. Not to our liking. Couldnt help compare it with same stuff from Food "N" I/Lotus Palace. Their Dahi Galouti was to die for.

3. Laal Mirchi ka Chicken Tikka (Rajasthani style) : Rs. 220
It was so bloody spicy it was tough for me and wifey couldnt eat it. But, it was marinated well and tasty. Overall, not too happy with it

4. Veg Tikka in Green Gravy: Rs.190
This was medium spicy and quite good

5. Burhani Paranth ( Rs.50), Garlic Olive Naan ( Rs.90 per Naan) and Rotis : Burhani Parantha is a must try. It tastes like curry-puffs that you eat in bakeries but, quite good.

Garlic Naan was ridiculously below average and dont know why they charged it so exorbitantly.

Rotis were average

6. Mocktails : Rs.400

Damages : 1600 including tips ( Btw, there is no service charge and VAT is 14.5%. Not sure if that's the right percentage or their charge higher %)

Overall, not too impressed with it's food but, was pleasantly surprised to see their pricing is quite moderate. Maybe we ordered all the wrong things.

All this experimentation tells me--Stick to "Sholay" and you will never go wrong.
