My Haleem experience this season – I have had very less Haleem this year. Here’s the account. Niagara – Decent Haleem but nothing outstanding. Paradise – The Best of this season for me, very less bones. I could be wrong because I did not taste Shah Ghouse, Sarvi and many other. The best part about this one was no uncrushed cloves/pepper/cinnamon and various other garam masalas. ![]() Beef Haleem – In a lane between Punjagutts traffic PS and Himalaya book store. Don’t remember the name but not hard to find. Forty bucks for the bliss. Absolutely value for money. Loved the taste. Pista House – Dissapointment! ![]() On the eve of Eid, went to get a taste of Pista house and Shah Ghouse in Charminar, but a good Samaritan told us that Shah Ghouse’s Haleem was very salty that day and suggested us to go to Pista house and well… they failed to impress us. Phirni was saving grace though. | |

Try their mutton curry and also the fry once again. Do not see the cook getting it wrong again. You can also try the Harsha mess opp Maitrivanam and the Swarnajayanthi complex at Ameerpet. Very good thaali and mutton / chicken fry. If you happen to be in Madhapur area, try Abhiruchi mess opp Nectar Gardens. Meals with a side dish of mutton / naatukodi fry. |

![]() Not a shady place but still don't take your family. A takeaway would be the best option for you. Or else you can have it in the car if you don't mind ever staying stains on your seat covers and the never ending aroma of talawa. ![]() | |

Will try Mukarram for sure. Thanks for the tip. Had a meeting at MJ Market and on the way back to office had lunch at Hotel Aadaab, Nampally (after a long long time) - had a visitor with me and ordered double meat mutton biryani. Super stuff. Excellent flavors, good quantity of rice and meat and the meat was cooked just the way I like - with a bit of resistance when you bite into it, not the melt-in-your-mouth types. @175/- per plate it was VFM. Did not click any pics as were very hungry by the time we reached Aadaab @3.30PM. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() This haleem season, I tasted haleem at below outlets :- 1. Bahar 2. Kabashish 3. Pakwaan 4. Shadab 5. Shahghouse 6. Paradise 7. Hyline 8. 555 9. Sarvi My top 3 award in sequence goes to :- 1. Bahar Most consistent and balanced taste haleem. Smooth, not too much garam masala and decent portion for a VFM price of Rs.70 2. Shadab Extremely smooth and very tasty. Downside was it was too oily (ghee) 3. Paradise Tasted only once. But, it was thick, extremely smooth, well-balanced flavour, delectable and had a nice wee bit hint of ghee flavour. Rest of the folks were average to good. |

![]() If you go by that parameter, Paradise was certainly delicious and very well balanced. But, Bahar should have been given some award as their haleem was no less. | |

I am myself a sucker for their biryani. Been having it once every week since the last three months I have shifted to Hyderabad ![]() Btw, had bought 1 kg assorted biscuits from Pista House, Charminar. Good variety of flavour, taste. Me and my friends gobbled it up in no time. Decent price @Rs.150/- per kg. Had been for breakfast at Taj Krishna a week back. Loved the spread and variety viz sausages, flakes, fruits, dosas, omlettes. However, they served juice from one of those cartons in the name of "fresh juice" ![]() | |

| ![]() Hmmm flavor of the season for all the non-veggies.. Haleem. Experience @ Khan Saab. I have been there a couple of times. First time, we ordered some paneer starter (don't remember the name) but it tasted very good. They have 2 types of Veg Biryanis in their menu. One of them was "Paneer Methi Corn Biryani" - we really loved it. It was one of the best vegetable biryanis I have ever tasted. - I recommend this for everyone! Second time, we ordered "Do Phool Barah Masale" starter (Cauliflower and Broccoli with some masala) tasted very good. Also we had the "Garlic Olive naan" with some veg curry, must say .. naan with Olives tasted awesome! People who like Olives would definitely love it! It costs about 100/- each but worth a try! ![]() Last edited by punto_ : 24th August 2012 at 21:49. |

| ![]() For all those interested in going traditionally Veg over the next couple of days,Onam this year is on Wednesday(29th Aug to 1st Sep) and there are a couple of places putting up Onam Sadyas served on the traditional Plantain leaf. Utupura,ITC Dakshin,Promenade at Aditya Hotel Ameerpet,Kerala Kitchen at Hitec City,Malabar Restaurant at Nampally.Apart from the restaurants,some of the Kerala "cultural" associations are putting up their own versions of Onam Sadyas which would any day be better than these restaurants.The popular one is the one held by "Mytri"(this year on Sep 9) which is usually held.Chefs for all the sadyas have been brought in from Kerala so one can expect a fairly authentic Kerala spread at most of the sadyas.Most of the sadyas have been priced in and around 150-200 per head from what I heard over the past few days. PS:A little bit of trivia for those interested in knowing whats the hullabaloo behind Onam.The festival is for two reasons(not necessarily in the same order)-One its the harvest festival of the state(marks the beginning of the harvesting season) all over the state and the other is the legend which says that it celebrates the Asura King Mahabali's return from Patala after being vanquished by Vishnu in his Vamana Avatara.King Mahabali was the most popular of kings to rule the state and he was granted a 10 day visit to the state annually to visit his people. |
