I tried their ice cream yesterday and I must say that I am disappointed right from their attitude to the quality of the product. I walked in to the parlour and there was one lady behind the cash counter and no one else, be it staff or customers. She looked up from the book she was reading and got back to the book leaving me just standing there with no clue whether I should ask her or what? A really dis-interested franchisee, if I may say so. Anyway, I stared at the menu and a while later one man comes out from behind the door and asks me what I would like to have? He could not explain what is different about their shakes from any other place so I ordered a cup of Jamun ice cream. It was a horror worth 35/-. Full of crystals, absolutely raw milk taste, no flavour, no real fruit pieces, nothing at all. SUM UP : It is a very poor imitation of Naturals. Of course, no idea about their shakes and from what I have read and understood from the earlier posts about this place by Ranjit & Mobike, one should visit it for shakes. Will go for a shake and maybe halt at K&C for their burger while there. Fine Juice Centre Later, I went to Fine Juice Centre opposite Balaji Grand Bazar in the lane between Mor Medicals and Hyderabad Nursing Home at Basheerbagh. Ordered fresh "Falsa" Juice for 35/-. Amazing!!! Note for all those who love falsa juice. He is going to stop serving falsa juice in the next couple of days as the price of the fruit has shot up from 150/- to 400/- per kg. He is yet to start Fresh Mango Juice as he uses only Kesar mangoes which have not yet developed the flavour, according to him. Gokul Chat I also visited Gokul for his famous Mirchi Bhajji. Got it packed and brought it home for evening. In the evening, cut the bhajji into 4 to 6 slices per bhajji and deep fried it to convert it to Cut Mirchi. Yummy, as good as Sailing Annexe of Secunderabad Club. Had one plate yesterday (20/- for 4 pieces) and will knock off the 2nd plate today. Aroma Ordered home delivery of Methi Chicken for dinner from Aroma Restaurant & Bar at Kalanikethan Mall at Somajiguda. Very good sized portion per plate. Very reasonable & VFM (170/-, no taxes). Very tasty. Good competition to "The Hub" which is located nearby and also "Deccan" located opposite it. Kamat Missed eating the famous thali at Kamat near Ramakrishna Theatre as had to rush home after hearing that road blocks were expected. Did run into one at Raj Bhawan at 1:15pm. Waved out to a few Sakshi reporters who were protesting there to while away my time in the car. Took me half an hour from Imax Circle to Somajiguda Circle. Ended up lunching at home on rajmah-chawal. | |||

Also try their Chicken Salad Snack. One of the best I have ever had till date. Nothing comes close to Chicken Salad Snack of K&C. Universal too sells Chicken Salad Snacks, however it is miles behind in the race. Try their Butter Chicken Rolls too. |

I tried almost every dish of K&C and my favorite in sequence are :- 1. Burgers ( Best in town but, sometimes i feel its greased too much with Mayo so i ask him to put little less) 2. Chicken Rolls ( Sometimes I find this better than their famous burger) 3. Mutton Samosa. They introduced this about a year ago and it was simply outstanding. But, offlate their increased the price exorbitantly to Rs. 15 a samosa, size reduced and mutton filling reduced considerably 4. Chicken 65. This is their hottest selling item apart from their burgers. 6 large pieces for Rs.50 and absolutely no coating. Each is a juicy piece of chicken perfectly made. I buy this so often, still not bored of it All other dishes like butter chicken roll, mutton cutlet etc are pretty ordinary in every aspect. Quote:
Paradise Biryani a couple of years ago fell to same problem but, they quickly put their act together and are back in Biryani business with a bang. The aroma, rice used, flavour, marination and melt in mouth meat is stuff made in dreams ![]() Paradise Biryani is the best in town .Period !!! ( Persis Gold only, as i found some difference in each floor with ground floor paradise cooking their biryani in oil instead of ghee) To my utter shock, that lady told me they are doing business there from last 2 years and I happened to see that store just a few days ago despite living in lane next to them ![]() | ||

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I doubt if anything comes close on the VFM aspect of the Gift Pack @ Rs 350. ![]() http://paradisefoodcourt.com/menu.pdf And the Biryani tastes quite good as well. |

Totally agree with you.The time when we shifted to Hyd 5 years back,the very first place that we landed up for lunch was Paradise and have been firm loyalists from that day as well as reccomending the place to all and sundry.The other night I saw a sight at Paradise at the rear which was mind boggling,a truck unloading Daawat Basmati rice bags.On asking around I was told that every night two such trucks of rice are unloaded for the next day(no source to verify this,this is hearsay as per the security guard there)..Just goes onto show the biriyani consumption prowess that we Hydies have ![]() Quote:

![]() Ranjith, how does this compare to our very own Tsr Saphire Biryani ? By the way guys, did anyone point out that OTF has increased prices (should be substantial % wise) , but still continues to be VFM. I don't know if he remembered me from the last meet we had over there, but i surely did get 10% discount on the bill. Last edited by autotranny : 10th May 2012 at 22:13. Reason: posting too soon | |

To Add to the list, you can also try Our Place, It has a lovely ambiance and serves good food. If you are looking for veg then Liberty caterers (Supposed to be one of the best in hyd) have opened a outlet in Banjara Hills, I have not been there but heard that food is great. | |

| ![]() Was out to the Mango Mela yesterday. Some awesome smelling mangoes were bought.should say lots of mangoes. While on the way home wife said let's go to Kamat. Went in there. Everytime we go there, the chutneys (coconut, Ginger Garlic) and the Sambar taste just the same. Well had Vada Sambar and MLA Pesarattu. One of the best south indian in city. My mom dad prefer Minerva overe anything, however Samabar @ Kamat for me tastes the best. |

Buddy's is the new venture which has opened its door there. Need to stake out the place and verify whether it just a change of management or the same with just a new name and higher prices. Hi Gaurav, which Kamat did you visit? What were the prices like? Last edited by hyd_traveller : 14th May 2012 at 15:22. | |
