We got an initial quote of Rs.445+taxes from Pearl Regency, but am not sure of whats on offer. Waiting to get a detailed quote from them today. Quality Inn too offered a similar price. Need to check out the places myself this week and see if they are capable of hosting so many people at a time. | |

Such a menu would be cheaper in a star hotel than hiring a place and getting catering done. | ||

Yes that is the one. And we are not looking to hire a place and get catering. We want everything to be done by a star hotel itself. Thanks for the detailed menu suggestion. Quote:
Novotel too is booked. And btw, I am a victim of ICFAI Business School (IBS) and not ISB ![]() Some updates :- Been getting quotes from few hotels since morning. The total number of people have shot up to 500 now, and so has our budget. Typically looking at Rs.800-Rs.1000/- per person, all inclusive. Mansarovar The Fern has quoted Rs. 925/- for the below mentioned menu 2 welcome drink 2 veg starter 2 non veg starter 3 veg main course 3 non-veg main course 3 dessert item White rice, sambar, Curd, pickle, papad, 2 salads, 1 dal, 2 Indian breads. Sounds decent to me, still working on the price though. Awaiting quotes from Katriya, Golconda Resort and Regenta One. | |||

Katriya is a good choice. Ample parking for you but will cause severe inconvenience to Vnabhi as Katriya valets block his gate. They do bargain hard so you need to show your skills of MBA that you are learning. Hotel Golkonda at Masab Tank also negotiates heavily so be patient with them. Not ample parking but efficient valet system there will take care. Talk to Hotel Square at Paryatak Bhawan. Ample parking. Insist on speaking to Mr Praful, their GM, and quote the review that you have read on eat thread of TBHP (which was my sunday lunch buffet review : http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/shifti...ml#post3025627). He will be very accommodating (he was earlier GM of Katriya and is trying to revive the hotel business). Last edited by hyd_traveller : 28th January 2013 at 12:07. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() My recommendation for a 500 people gathering, regular hotels wont be that much fun. Move the event to LUNCH And, choose places like Golconda Resort, Pragati Resort and such.... You can have an extensive buffet for that price and you can have a great full day outing too considering they will throw in a lot of freebies like free games, swimming, high tea etc. 500 people crammed for dinner in a hotel (even if its a huge 5 Star) is more of a nightmarish experience than a joyful evening. Just my two cents !!! |

You can also try Green Park. Should get it for less than 800/- Ohri's Tansen had Kashmiri Wazwaan food festival last week. We thought they had a buffet but it turned out to be a la carte only. Three of us ordered the following: Lamb Kebaba and Kanti Murgh for starters. Pic of menu with description and rates given below. Quantity of the Kebaba was huge. Some 18 pieces of minced meat kebab - nice and spicy. Kanti Murgh was also very tasty. For main course we ordered Goasthaba and Bakarkhani roti. All the items were pretty good and not very expensive. Total bill came to around Rs.1250/- Pics: ![]() ![]() Attachment 1043668 ![]() ![]() Last edited by mobike008 : 28th January 2013 at 13:56. Reason: Edited out the picture with beer in it. | |

I am not sure if Katriya can confortable accomodate 500 ppl. I had been to their facility for a friends reception and the hall looked choked with hardly around 300-350 ppl around. Also, the food is arranged at the garden outside and its quite haphazardly done with dishes arranged at all corners without any thought to the the order at which they will be consumed. It was not too tasty either. Dont know if this is a one off affair. I remember going to their restaurant 4-5 years ago and I distinctly remember that their food was awesome. Dont know if their quality has come down over years. |

500 is too much of a crowd for any hotel to handle,my reccomendation would be to scout for exclusive banquet places.My other suggestion would be to check out Chiraan Fort(the same place where Fern is) and make use of their lawns or maybe speak to Fern and find out if they can set something up for you guys on the lawn. | ||

Other ideas - The Tajs Taj Krishna, Lawns & The Grand Ballroom, easily takes 500. They also have another hall called Emerald I think that should take that many. Taj Banjara Lawns too will easily work PM me if you would like me to speak to both N or Taj. Have contacts there who could help ![]() |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Beach House -Madhapur Went for lunch here ,this place in behind choclate room (no rules pasted a pic in the earlier post as well) Nice simple decor ,would be lovely during the evenings There is a inr 299+ lunch buffet (did not try as the menu was not very inspiring) We did a-la-carte and ordered the following:- - Chicken Hot n Sour Soup - Onion Chicken -Veg Hara bhara kebab - Egg fried rice - Chicken in some spicy sauce - Veg manchurian. Overall the food is okish ,liked the onion chicken (was more like the chicken version of appollo fish) Service is quick. One of the owners (Chaitanya ) came over to check if everthing was ok. The menu is pretty limited (mostly indo chinese and andhra dishes),The decor gives you a feel there would be mediterranean food (which is not the case) Total bill for 4 -INR 913 (including tax and service charge) The sit out area on the 1st floor can be a nice place for a t-bhp meet during the evenings is what i reckon. ![]() |
