The earliest that I have been to Naigara was earlier this week which was exactly around midnight. Been times when I visited them even at 3:00AM ( I think one instance where a few of us like Ravvs, Appu, Sabby, Vnabhi visited there) but, now cops are strict and ask them to close down by 1:00AM latest i think. We wanted to try Grand but, that was closed from front so even tried the backroute, even that was closed....pretty strange...then proceeded to Niagara. I think their Rotis and Curries are really good except that they are slightly oily and they serve huge quanity. Biryani is inconsistent. We were lucky to get a good one this week. I would not recommend snack items from them. Last edited by mobike008 : 29th November 2012 at 16:57. | |

I think the other way round Avi Bhai. I found their Snack Items to be better than some of the other outlets around. I always found their Prawns to be far better and fresh compared to many outlets around. Their Prawns are cooked nicely with the right amount of spices just to tantalize those taste buds. Their Tandoori Chicken is fully grilled on Charcoal and has that charcoaly flavour to it. The flavour missing at many places. As far as their Gravies are concerned, yes the quantity they serve is Huge, by HUGE I mean Real Huge. |

Bro, the Take Away counter is near the entrance of the Niagara Hotel at Chaderghat. This is right behind the Haleem Counter at the hotel. If you see a huge display counter near the entrance, that's the place, which is a Take Away Counter for Niagara at Chaderghat. |

| ![]() Avial,Hitec City-Waste of money & Time Was at Avial in Hitec City the other day.Decided to pay the place a visit after reading about it in the paper.Perfect example of how a well written piece can go a long way in getting people to come in once and never again. My experience with the place: -Dirty place.You would know what the previous people had eaten if you just look below your table(they just swipe all the leftovers from the table to below it!).So if you land up here,eat without looking down.Every table had a similar story -Mosquitoes and flies were having a field day -The huge glass facade facing the road was so damn dirty that even the halogen lights directed onto the glass couldnt find its way into the restaurant -Ordered a chilly porotta & a kothu porotta and a plain dosa.Total disaster.The first two things had no resemblance to their original cousins and as for the dosa,the batter was so damn sour and the sambhar served was neither Keralite,nor Tamilian,nor Kannadiga,nor Telugu in nature-it was purely Aviyalian in nature I guess-the dal was burnt-period.The parathas were quite evidently the frozen ones thawed on the tava and spiced with whatever they could lay their hands on in the kitchen.Each one was priced at INR 100(what a ripoff-quantity was measly).The place has a buffet in the afternoon priced at INR 230(not sure if it actually happens-I saw it on the menu) and I shudder to think what it would be like! What a total let down this place is. Kailash Parbat-The Ripoff begins! Wasnt I expecting this all the while-it was just a matter of time before this place too took the all too familiar route of hiking up their rates.The buffet lunch is NOW priced at INR 477 per head(all inclusive)-What a sham,service has begun to suffer terribly,crowds have swelled to more than what the staff can handle,its a free for all at the buffet tables and pitched battles are fought while people stand in line with plates in hand waiting for refills-YUCK. Kailash Parbat has gone off my list for good,now lets see what Cream Centre has to offer Last edited by bblost : 6th December 2012 at 13:48. |

Another interesting thing about Avial is that they do not have the 'Avial' anywhere in their menu. ![]() My eating out experiences in the last week 1. Abhiruchi Mess : Nr Durgam Cheruvu, (the road that leads from Inorbit to Madhapur) I have always skipped offers to visit this place, because from the stories I have heard, the food served in here is extremely spicy. Anyway, finally I decided to try it out myself last week and the experience was quite nice. I ordered Curd rice [Rs 50] with Kheema Fry [Rs 150] and Gongura Mutton Curry [Rs 150] as sides. The dishes were good, but personally I think our favourite KDM scores higher. I also think its costlier than the parcel counter at KDM. 2. Nautanki Galli : Cyber Pearl, Hitec city - In short, Awesome ambience, Awful Food. Other than the Chaats, nothing was worth a second helping. To top it they had pretty strange combinations for the main course, like Hunnan Fish, Rice, Sambhar, Biriyani and Chicken Handi. I do not know if they expected me to eat Indian and Chinese together as there was no sign of any Fried Rice or Noodles. ![]() 3. Cafe Bahaar - Hyderguda ( Yesterday) Finally got to eat their famed Brain Fry and loved every bit of it. Ordered Chicken Tikka Kebabs and Mutton Kheema Masala too. Each and every item is good. Will go there more often, only if it was a bit closer to home. | |

| ![]() Rubaiyat (Ohris CP) Amazing veg food - you can make out the taste of spices individually. Recommended are Paneer Jali Tikka, Kahkashan, 4 Mix Daal. Real hidden gem in Hyderabad. |

The building housing Mainland China at Begumpet has a new hoarding : Oh! Calcutta. Feedback about this Bengali food outlet at other cities are pretty mixed. Nice food, authentic but certainly not VFM. No idea when it opens and what will be the pricing. Sholay (the famous and most preferred TBHPian destination) located in Chikoti Garddens opposite Shoppers Stop at Begumpet has a buffet breakfast. Pretty decent menu priced @ 99/- (112/- AI) : ![]() A very big thanks to Downsouth for clicking and sharing this picture. ![]() Just got a call and need to head out for lunch in another 45 minutes. Gadgetfreak had once said "A La Liberty" is the place for veggies. I have to go to a veggie place due to the guest being one. Thinking of this outlet. Need urgent feedback on whether a veggie lunch buffet is worth it here @ 369/- AI? Last edited by hyd_traveller : 7th December 2012 at 11:48. Reason: Adding a query | ||

| ![]() Finally this thread has come back to its rightful place - the first page. Had me wondering where all the Hydie foodies were. Yesterday evening it was sports day at my son's school, Chaitanya Vidyalaya and after the event all the parents and kids were waiting to leave when someone suggested we all go for dinner - kids and parents put together we were 42 people and went to 70mm, Necklace Road as that was the closest place where we could get buffet dinner. Since it was a Thursday I was strictly veggie. Sadly not even one veg item among - Vada, crispy fried veg, lasagna, pepper broccoli rice, rajma, mixed veg curry, sambar was good. I had a bite of this and that and ended up eating fruits mostly. Among the non-veggies I believe the biryani was good, rest all so-so. Costed us Rs.375/- per head. |

thats an unfair generalization IMO. I agree some of their outlets are not up to the mark (esp the food courts) but they do have some gems like Jiva (veg buffet), Tansen, 1857, Mings Court, Far East, Pickles and not to forget the legendary Havmor. Mehfil used to be great but havent been there in ages and so cant speak abt its quality now. Last edited by CtrlAltDel : 7th December 2012 at 12:12. | |

If thats the kind of budget you are looking at,then I would suggest you check out Kailash Parbat's buffet lunch(inspite of all my negative reviews which are directed more towards the pricing! ).Personally I found it to be the best veg lunch buffet and the unlimited chaats take the cake.If you havent been there it would be worth a try. |
