| ![]() There is one Santosh Dhaba (pure veg) in the lane behind DHL opposite to Paradise (on the road which goes to fire station/ Sky Chef) and the food is quite good there. Ambiance is not that good, but the prices are quite cheap. 60-80/- for a dish..[/quote] I totally agree on the Santosh Dhaba.... its the best punjabi I had till date! |

| ![]() Its been more than 2 months I am away from Hyderabad and back in my hometown Kolkata. I never thought I would say this, but damnnn I miss being in Hyderabad, solely because of the food ![]() Can we have a compilation of the best biryanis in town in a single post? I feel it will be really entertaining to put up a poll and do our little judgement about the same. I, for one, am a huge fan of the Paradise biryani, as well as Shadaab! |

I too like them for being VFM and serving tasty vegeterian dishes. But, what really puts me off is their affinity towards KAJU. They dump that thing in almost every dish that is served which spoils the overall taste of the dish. Some dishes, you need to wade through the heap of kaju to find veggies Having said that, their "Kaju Naan" is heavenly Quote:
![]() Last evening, we went to "Mast Kalandar" that opened in Himyathnagar on May 2nd, 2013 Nice colorful ambience which is similar to their hitec city outlet Self service is the biggest put off. We ordered the following :- Subz Sheek Kebab ( Rs.119) It was good but, felt little high on salt. Parantha Combo ( Rs.119) Chilli Cheese Parantha was excellent Gobi Parantha was pedestrian Above was served with Dal Makhani which was just average. Raitha was excellent though Masala Cola ( Rs.49) Thumbs up with some masala served lukewarm and when asked for ice. Not available. Horrible Overall ~ 20% taxes on and above rates made the bill to Rs.330 Its a very average place. Will try the Kadi Chawal, Rajma Chawal and Chole Bhature and if they are also average then goodbye from us | ||

![]() Another one on which I tend to agree with you.Its very very pedestrian fare that is offered at their outlets and most of their older outlets suffers from hygiene factors.They have got all their pricing horribly wrong and the taste is nothing to write about.Apart from the name and colorful signboards I dont see anything else going in their favor. OT:With all this crazy advertisement of ATOM Pepsi going on all over,we tried it yesterday(its been ages since I went anywhere near an aerated drink).Its just plain old pepsi spiked with elaichi flavor and imho it just doesnt work.Elaichi and Cola-not my preference.

Equally shared the pleasure of meeting you in person Mobike .Couldnt get to say you bye. I am waiting to see the German Red Callipers soon on the other forum ![]() Wanted to share the Nonveg platter of Ohris @Tansen Necklace road. The nawabi cuisine was nice and the mutton roghan ghosh was cooked very nicely. The Biriyani was in kind of Nizami style and i liked it mediumly spiced. We had 4 pieces of Lobster which were very delicious. Overall the menu seemed bit pricey but you will like the ambience and the live music . | |

| ![]() The kitchen may be the same. I was referring to the number of preparations available in the buffet. Red Fox being the "budget" one, has fewer preparations than Lemon Tree. Yes, you are right, the pricing of Red Fox is nowhere near budget!! |

| ![]() Had lunch at Fishland, Lakdi ka Pul after a long long time. Thaali meals with Bommidayila Pulusu. Decent food, bommidayila pulusu was average. Cost of 2 meals, 1 Bommidayila pulusu and a water bottle came to Rs.475/- Slightly expensive. |

Fishland is now in a dilapidated condition and is surviving only because of the bus passengers who take overnight buses from Lakdikapul which is the HUB for Volvos etc. I would not visit them as we are now spoilt for choices Last week, we visited "Kakatiya Delux Mess" for lunch. Eating an Andhra Thali at this place can redfine your eating experience of what a simple home cooked style meal can do. Each and every thing on the thali is delectable and special mention to their dal, sambhar, rasam. Not to mention the star accompaniments "Gun Powder" and "Some chutney which is heavenly" We ordered a prawn fry along with Thali and beileve you me, it is different and much more awesome than the one available at their take-away. This dish was reddish in color whereas in take-away section its yellowish. Super Yummy Omlettes. I dont think anyone can make omlettes as good as KDM Overall, 2 Thali,2 Omlette, Water Bottle and Prawn Fry. Rs. 350. Most VFM Andhra Thali in town !!! Couple of days ago, visited Bahar ( Begumpet) for the first time for dine-in. We ordered the following :- Chiken Tikka Masala ( Rs.200) Rotis Sp. Mutton Biryani ( Rs. 210) Total Damages with taxes : Rs.550 CTM was different. Yellow colored dish which i am seeing for the first time. Nonetheless, it was tasty Rotis are a bit huge and typical cafe style. I prefer the small "kadak" tandoori rotis punjabi style Mutton Biryani was also very good. But, nowhere close to Paradise Will I go back again? Not like I look forward to visiting some restuarants again and again. Bahar is good for a change | |

Even yesterday when I and my friend were having lunch at Fishland we were discussing how good the food at KDM is. I feel bad even ordering a non-veg side dish because then you miss out on the delicious veg curries / chutneys / daal / sambhar etc. Earlier today a cousin of mine called to tell me that he is coming to Hyderabad to watch the IPL match on Sunday and said, "Anna, all meals at / or from KDM only". | |

It is okay even if the list contains only veggie places though non veg places are also welcome to be listed. So that is where you were headed that day at 12:30pm. Was it not pretty early for lunch? I was just ahead of you right from Srinagar Colony turning and then you (your driver) overtook me (my driver) from the left just after Hyderabad Central. Why not eat at Fishland, Ameerpet? The place is pretty nice, neat and clean. OT : Fishland at Ameerpet has this policy on discounts : Dine In : Menu Prices + Taxes Home Delivery : Menu Prices + Packing Charges but no Taxes Take Away : Menu Prices - 10% Discount + Packing Charges and no Taxes Quote:
Had Paradise Biryani two weeks back. The mutton biryani was good, ok, awesome and agreed that it was as good as Bahar but Chicken Biryani was a disaster. Just some zero-masala rice with chicken pieces thrown in it, zilch masala, super bland. Bahar rules when it comes to Chicken Biryani. Quote:
Egg Fry is the dish we order for all the veggies when we have a party (N/V get Kakatiya Mutton Fry). | |||

| ![]() Took a Kakatiya Mutton fry and a prawn fry for lunch a couple of days back from KDM takeaway section. Both were red, no sign of any yellow ! And both were fantabulous. Special mention HAS to be made for the mutton though, which was fantabulously fantastic. Rich, spicy, tender pieces of boneless mutton that are so flavourful, its a sin !!! Please note, in spite of the rich and spicy masala/gravy, the mutton held its own in terms of its natural flavour. The masala enhanced its natural meaty flavour, it didn't drown it out like at some places that take their 'Andhra' or spicy tag too seriously.
