After all, as Motormania has said, he would go there only if he had a date. Since I am not in the dating scene, I only look at places where food is good and easy on the wallet. ![]() | |

Motormania, you gave Hydeez a shock of their life by saying that you had Idly & Vada at Paradise, that too at their non-existent outlet at Panjagutta. | |

The name 'Paradise' is synonymous with Biryani @ Hyderabad. People either love their biryani or hate their biryani but it is one of the most happening restaurant in twin cities. | |

I totally agree with you. There is a restaurant in Ameerpet, Either it is Annapoorna or the one next to it which serves andhra biryani in which chicken/mutton pieces are placed on the top, some how i like that biryani more than the one served by Paradise. But would again like to visit Paradise for double masala biryani after so much is written about it here. | |

In Hyderabadi Biryani, one marinates the raw meat in curd and other spices, then layer the raw meat at the bottom of the pan, cover it with partially cooked rice, coat it with saffron, repeat the process till you reach the desired height in the pan, add mint leaves and fried onions at the top layer, then seal the pan with "atta" [dough] and slow cook it under "dum" [pressure]. It is different from "pulao" [a type of a rice dish] because there is no water added to biryani and it is cooked in its own juices. The rice gets the flavour from the meats and spices and the steam is created to cook the meat and rice from the water content of the meat and curd. Paradise serves Hyderabadi Biryani and one can compare it with Shadab, Shah Ghouse, Banne Nawab, Hyderabad House, Bahar, New Astoria, Bawarchi, Sarvi, etc. My personal favourites are Bahar and Sarvi. Traveloholic or Mobike008 or many other members here can narrate out a long list of criterion that decide what constitutes a good Hyderabadi biryani but the most essential of them are : (1) rice should remain juicy (not to be confused with greasy) ; (2) both the meat and rice should get fully cooked ; and many more. | |

| ![]() The great Ohri hoax! My friends and I went to Ohris Jiva at Whitehouse yesterday and when we entered the lobby we had a look at the menu of De Thaali section. De Thaali seemed like a good deal for a Rajdhani like northie thaali at only 200/- per head. But once we took our seats, a few in the group griped about more variety in the buffet section and we decided to shift there for the 250/- per head buffet. There we realised that the menu at De Thaali is a subset of the extensive buffet menu at Jiva! In effect by paying nly Rs. 50 extra over De Thaali we get to enjoy 75% more variety at the buffet. De Thaali just serves a few selected items from the buffet in a thaali format where the only advantage is that you are served at the table. Definitely not VFM considering the wider choice at the buffet for only 50 bucks more. This is also funny considering that I have seen a few people argue whether the food tasted better at the Jiva buffet or at De Thaali! |
