![]() To be honest, it was just about ok and would not go into my list of top road side tiffins at all. Nothing to beat the breakfast that you get on this side of the city for Dosa, Idly Wada like Lakshman, Pragati, Scoops, Begum Bazaar etc. | ||

| ![]() As goes a famous saying in Turkish "Ben bütün gün gıda konuşabilirsin. Ben iyi yemek seviyorum. It does not mean that I can speak Turkish, but the quote means a lot to me as it is describes what I do whole day "I could talk food all day. I love good food" Been there and done that already, however Sunday was the time, when I visited Fisherman's Fare to treat my family with some Turkish Delicacies. The moment I walked in, thus I spoke in chaste Turkish "Barış içinde yenen bir kabuk anksiyete partaken bir ziyafet daha iyidir", which meant "A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety" We were there at leisure and had all the time in this world to spend there, given that the food they served was good and piping hot. Pita Bread and Hummus were always on the top of the list, so was the first order. Hummus was good albeit a bit grainy. I would love my Hummus to be a smooth silky velvety paste as opposed to being grainy. The taste was great and I enjoyed licking off the last serving off the serving spoon. It was good and it went very well with the fresh soft Pita Bread, which was super soft and amazingly good. ![]() ![]() What followed was a mix of MediTurkish Food. Ordered Kusbasili Pide, which is something akin Pizza. Chopped Mutton, Bell Peppers and Cheese spread on Turkish Bread. It was quite bland to my taste and we had only a slice each. The rest was packed off for take away. ![]() Hummus done, Pita done, Pide done, now's the time for some lip smacking food and that was what we went for. Ordered Chicken Fajita and Chicken Kiev. Chicken Fajita: Roasted chicken served with Vermicelli Rice, French Fries, Fresh Lettuce and Grilled Bell Peppers off a pipping hot sillzer. This was the YUMMM dish I loved at FF and would go again and agin for sure. Wiped off the Fajita with the complimentary Pita Breads served with it. ![]() ![]() Chicken Kiev: Grilled Chicken Breast stuffed with Spinach and Mushroom, served with Vermicelli Rice, French Fries & Fresh Lettuce. Right from the moment you see it till the time you scrape off those last its and bits strewn on the plate, I am sure you would not look up and indulge in the sinful act with pleasure. ![]() Overall, I loved the food at Fisherman's Fare and would be back for more. Till then "Hoşça kal ve mutlu yeme" Last edited by traveloholic : 19th June 2012 at 17:20. |

![]() Hope you guys enjoyed your food as much as we did. Talking about difference in the taste across regions. I was shocked to see the upma that was served to me initially here in Hyderabad since we are used to a more solid look compared to the watery gooey look here which I have not still managed to come to terms with. To make matters worse, most of the Kerala restaurants I have tried did not have Upma on their menu and hence I am deprived of having the kind of Upma I like. There is a restaurant (earlier it used to be a jewellery shop) at Madhapur named "Taamaram", just besides Cafe Nandhini which serves pretty OK Upma, just that it's a bit too oily. | |

Perhaps you've not had the road-side variety yet in Hyderabad? Quote:

Naresh knows my likings so I do not even have to tell him my order, he sees me and just serves. It is the owner who, when he sees me, tells Naresh what I will eat or should I say just orders me what I should eat on a particular day. Quote:
Secondly, the comfort of getting decent food just down the road weighs much more than having to drive right across the whole city which is okay once in a way but not on a regular basis. | ||

Hi traveloholic. Yummy looking food. I am sure you had a good time. I must say, apart from being a traveloholic, you are also a foodaholic. ![]() By the way, where exactly is this restaurant. Is it in the same complex as the 4 seasons food court which is opposite to the Maruti showroom/service centre? | |

I went there for breakfast on Sunday after a long time and we had Babai Idly and Steamed Dosa ( Chiru Dosa) with those standard tasteless chutneys. Their coffee is excellent though and 1/2 is equal to 2 coffees from another hotel. Lovely taste and huge quantity I like them serving water in those huge copper glasses I would not go back there for South Indian Tiffins but, their Thali is pretty good My favorite used to be Shanbagh before now its "Minerva" which is a zillion times better than Chutneys Quote:
Sunday evening had decided to go to Palace Heights but, since it was raining got a bit lazy and decided to eat nearby at our favorite VFM chinese restuarant " Bowl O'China" at Himayathnagar Ordered the following :- 1. Veg Spring Rolls It was oily and bland. When I complained, they offered to present a new dish. I declined and we ate a few pieces and left the rest. BAD 2. Schezwan Egg Noodles This as usual was excellent. Spicy, Yet Soft and full of egg and extremely tasty 3. Chicken Schezwan with bamboo shoots and broccoli This was also excellent Total Damage : Rs. 450 @Nikhil, I loved the Chicken Kiev and Fajita at Fisherman Fare. Rest of the stuff does not look that enticing or was it? Last edited by mobike008 : 20th June 2012 at 12:57. | ||

I am still to get in terms with Bowl O'China. I don't find the consistency across their outlets. I would have loved to have food, if the taste was consistent across all their outlets. Quote:
On another thought, I have decided what I would be having, the next time I visit Fisherman's Fare. Next time, it's gonna be Sarma Beyti Kebab, Kiretmitte Kusbasili and Lahmacun Pide. | ||||

except for the bad experience on Sunday for Veg Spring Rolls. Btw, I hate hummus and pita bread. It simply cannot be enjoyed by an indian palate Quote:
I can certainly see the difference in price. Rs. 120 vs Rs. 160 for a thali ![]() | |||

Dunno about the difference in tastes. But I would anyday pay 40 bucks more for the Jubilee hills one over the Somajiguda minerva. The latter has a horrible basement parking and it reminds me of the old dingy wet and dark dungeons. I would never park my car there. Atleast the one in JH check post has better parking, even though its open. | |
