To end the meal, we ordered "Umm Ali", which is malai mixed with bread. It was really good. The price was again 65/-. We were a bit early for dinner, hence didn't try the biriyani or any other main course, but the menu looked really tempting with the full page imagery and text over it. Will surely be going there to try the remaining dishes. For people who want to try "Sohail", reaching there is very easy, you just have to use the MMTS, get down at malakpet station, and Sohail is 5 mins walk from there. Pretty easy. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Such a terrible thread to read at 9am in the morning, on a day when you're wondering if today is the day one starts to eat healthy! I want to steer this away from biryani and other meat-heavy monstrosities! Any seafood lovers in the house? |

Same thought I have every morning when I read this thread. I am a big seafood lover. Fish, prawns, crab, lobster. Yesterday I and my executive were going to Balanagar to meet a customer and stopped at A1 Green Bawarchi, Sanathnagar for lunch. Ordered mutton handi biryani. It came in a big handi, big portion of biryani sufficient for 2 people, lots of meat and great taste. Meat was cooked exactly how I like it - with a bit of resistance when you bite into it. Rice was wee bit dry but not bad. Good amount of masala made it a great lunch. Priced at 150/- it was a VFM. | ||

| ![]() This is hyderabad!!!! ( say it to the tune of sparta) , you cannot take briyani away from this thread. Even if it is seafood , I would assume someone is going to come and talk about seafood briyani in it . Fishermans fare @ Tolichowki is a very nice seafood place, been a while since i went there though .On the other hand , pomfrets @ hypercity is selling at Rs.1000/- per kg , any other place to get some fish other than hypercity and spar? |

I am sure there are local fish shops in the locality that you stay in(where do you stay?).Pomfrets again are two types Black and White(I am sure you know of it nevertheless).Again interestingly,pomfret in Hyd is sold in kgs while in Mumbai its always sold in pairs.The kilos work better and is way cheaper than the pairs way of selling them, |

Except us my most of our cousins families cook nonveg at home. I tried Marag at their homes and it is simply heavenly. Never ate it outside and dont think i will also. Another dish that is made at home and goes perfect with piping hot rice is Dalcha. But, again i prefer only home made and will not eat outside. Quote:

Fish and Prawns only. Both has to have zero smell or it wont go down my throat. I dont eat other supposedly exotic stuff like Squids, Mussels, Crabs, Lobsters, Frog Legs etc... Quote:
I think you demolished the seafood section and left only bones and raubles on the table....LOL! Quote:
Glad to know it was good. Quote:
It shows his proudness, love and zeal to protect it. We Hydeez are no less. Let anyone start a debate on Hyderabad vs. Rest of India food. No prizes for guessing who will win...lol! P.S: How about a Biryani Meet some evening in near future? We can visit a few popular restuarants and sample the biryani and share our result here? Crazy idea..huh? | ||||||||

White Pomfrets were about 700 or so at Spar. Black Pomfret was about 450 at Spar. In http://www.metro.co.in/ the same was available at around 350 or so. *Prices as of 10 days back. | |

The size of the serving bowl in paradise is different for chicken and mutton biryani probably because the price is same. Therefore Mutton biryani comes in smaller portion size than chicken biryani. Next best according to me is the Mutton Biryani served at Angeethi's Lunch Buffet. Last edited by huntrz : 12th September 2012 at 14:57. | |

Recently I tried bagara khana with kaddu ka dalcha at a small joint near my office @ Ameerpet (They advertise it as Friday special) but did not relish it so much. Quote:

![]() Was at Secunderabad during lunch time and on way to office went to Sai Ram Mess, Begumpet. Since I went at 2.30 I got parking easily. Their Wednesday special is Prawns fry. Ordered thaali and prawns fry but hardly ate any prawns. The baigan ka chutney was so delicious half my meal was rice and chutney. Every item was delicious and probably first time I regretted ordering a non-veg item which was also good - not as good as KDM prawns fry though. Got the leftover prawns parceled. Rs.60/- for meals and Rs.90/- for prawns. | |||||

1) It is Ganesh Chaturthi and a holiday. 2) I have other plans called a birthday in the house. Quote:
Reached at 12:45pm and had to wait till 1pm when it got ready. Found it to extra bland and too milky in taste. Will not go back for it. The shank piece in it was huge, enough for 2 people to gorge on. No, not at all crazy. Makes sense to share one plate between 4 odd people and then move on to another venue. Lets do it! | ||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Avi, like Nikhil said, Prince is not the best place to eat at (unless you're adventurous, do not care about surroundings and like to eat post midnight)! Strangely, I have never had Prince chicken biryani in the day, it's always been 2am, post a debauched 10D night. Let me first sample the lunchtime fare and if its just as good, I can play host to a few people at my office, will get the biryani from Prince! We have a decent sized conference room, 6-7 folks who want to try, come on over ![]() Daalcha and Dhansak are one of my fav. mutton dishes and while they are both best made at home, Avi, you have to try the Nizam club daalcha with hot rice. I'd murder for some ![]() |
