The only think I liked about 70MM is their Fish in Oyster Sauce and that's what I've been for to 70MM till now. Say max 4 times. Nautanki Gali only once and then struck it out of my list of "Last Places to Eat, in case of a Catastrophe".

Gosh, looks like I'll work from home that day and give it a miss. But where is it located?

Don't go by my word Venu Saab, there are a few reviews on this thread too. Nautanki Gali is located in Cyber Pearl, Hitec City.

I already flashed your message to the group. They are now asking about Khan Saab in GVK One Mall. Any reviews on that? Or any other place for 20 in Hitec City area for lunch?

Heard rave reviews about Khan Saab always. My experience was none the less a good one. Loved the food there and also the ambienece. I tried it after reading a review of Khan Saab by our very own Foodie Guru Avinash.

I would say, Khan Saab is anytime far better than Nautanki Gali. If you are looking for spread then Nautanki Gali or Khan Saab for quality.

At the cost of being kicked to death by our fellow foodies, I would also suggest IndiJoe (as Khan Saab @ Banjara Hills was also in your list). Their spread is vast and tastes good too. I still miss their deserts a lot. Oh! How I love to get killed by devouring their chocolate fondue.

Thanks Nikhil. I've been to Indijoe several times as my office used to be located opposite to it. I did love the food, but not all in the team liked the continental spread over there.
I think we'll give Khaan Saab a shot this time.

A good move Venu Saab, atleast you have saved yourself and your team from Gastronomical Misadventure at Nautanki Gali. There I do it again, succesfully stealing a Customer from Ohri's

.
I still love visiting Ohri's for a couple of their signature dishes like Sikandari Raan, Talwar Kebabs at Guffa, Ohri's - Basheerbagh.

Thanks. My favourite desset has always been Monica Lewinsky at Ohris, available at most of their outlets.

I had been to Chef Inam for dinner last evening and had Chicken & Teriyaki chicken steak.

It was super spicy and was great.

Total Damages-Rs 250.(he didn't charge me for 2 extra peices of bread.)

Nautanki Galli is just that. It's all Nautanki and no real essence. It's horribly overcrowded and quality replaced with gross and sheer quanity. The number of items available combined with its stifled environment will surely dissipate your hunger.

Probably, it would be better to go there during dinners when buffet is not there.

Khaan Saab is again a mediocre place. Grand ambience and average tasting food. Not sure it was just their initial hiccup. But, surely worth another visit to see if they improved their average tasting food.

Chef Inam : Been here last sunday for a takeaway and got ourselves something called Flaming Chicken Steak for Rs.220 and we were so hungry we opened the carton and gobbled it down in the car itself.

Taste was very good but, not happy with quantity. Actually, it was too less.

Utupura has become our staple our staple food joint. So much so that Bidisha has their number saved on the phone. Called them and ordered the following:

Trivandrum Chicken Fry
Mutton Masala
Appam
Kerala Parotta

Total Damages: Rs.469 including VAT and parcel charges.
Taste: Good as usual
Verdict: 3.5/5 but the Trivandrum Chicken Fry was expensive @ Rs160 for 3 chicken pieces

Thanks. But as it is not very close to my office, is there any other place close to Madhapur, than can accomodate around 12 guys for buffet lunch?

Food N I could be a good option.

Buffet is priced at Rs 307 (AI).Avi could throw more light on this.

Even the chicken would have not known it would have such market value after its death

. On a serious note, Ani where exactly is this place (just to get an idea, I've a few Mallu friends craving for Mallu food in Hyderabad). Also is there any place serving the traditional Kerala Sadya?
