My mom makes at home the best Avial that I ever had in my life. Next would be at a Tamilian friend's home.

KDM is VFM but, has a set number of dishes. I got bored of KDM Mutton Fry and Prawns Fry. Time to taste their other dishes which I am sure are not up to the same level.
Sadly, they dont serve Gongura Mutton

Perfectly summed up review. However, I find neither the ambience nor the food even decent. Ambience is LOUD and food as you said has all wrong combinations and is only about quanity of items available but, zilch quality

Have tried their kebabs a few times. Decent. Biryani, I will never eat there as it never impressed me

+1 on that. Rubayait has fabulous ambience and amazing mocktails ( this is best in town i would say) and food is also pretty good.

Agree with Anand here. Its incorrect to generalize. The problem with them is they opened too many restuarants too quickly in Hyderabad. In a way Ravi Ohri went beserk in his quest to open restuarants in Hyd
But, they still have many great eating places, namely :-
Havemore
Mings Court (Basheerbagh) is my all time favorite for chinese
Pickles
Gufaa (Basheerbagh). Great ambience and good food
Mehfil (Clock Tower). Great ambience and great food
Tansen. Super awesome ambience and equally awesome food
1857. Same as above
Serengiti. Same as above
The only problem is their fine dining restaurant above serves good food but, the taxes levied is ludicrous.

Nice to know even though i am not a breakfast person. Sholay beats hands down to being my favorite place to dine in twin cities for reasons below :-
Lovely Ambience
Usually not crowded so you can enjoy your meal
Fast service
Great food
Offers once in a while
Discount

How can you go to that place? Its the same situation with Ohris massive lunch buffets. It's like a show-off wedding. 100 items but, only 3-4 items taste good. Purpose served ( that of enticing unsuspecting customers with their 100 item carrot..LOL)
Some of the Ohri's that I will never visit in my life are :-
Ohris Buffets ( All over the place except Pickles)
Ohris Far East
Ohris ground floor at Rd.12
All hitec city outlets ( these are particularly bad as all IT folks are gate-crashing into them as if free food is being served...no offense to anyone)
Ohris Train (forgetting the name...at Basheerbagh)
