Last Friday, I had gone there during lunch to get some take away, but there were already 30-40 people waiting in queue at 12.30 pm to order. So I had to settle for the nearby Just Punjabi grill. | ||

Haha, yeah. Inspired by last years Haleem meet we had, I did a similar run with few of my friends. And yeah, will surely try to make it for the haleem meet on 19th. Will confirm once the plan is laid out on paper. | |

| ![]() This thread has died down!we ate out after a long time and what a disaster it has been:( Haiking,Jubilee-Thumbs down for me. Yes have no qualms in admitting the Ajinomoto used is very less in comparison with the normal Chinese Torture cooking indulged by some of the regular chinese joints-so thats a plus for them and the only one unfortunately! -Service average-grumpy and this when the restaurant is at quarter occupancy.The maitre'd "obliged" us by smiling and agreeing to take our order ![]() -Food:Sorry but this is just glorified bandi food imo,not worth the extremely steep pricingits just plain amateurish,no creativity no hard work,least of all no consistency even.The next table had Kimchi presented to them while ours had no sign of it! -Presentation:At this price range,you would expect some kind of visually appealing stuff,not some food thrown on a white porcelain serving dish, -Quantiy:if you are really hungry,its just enough for one person a dish, -I doubt if they have heard of sauces being used in chinese cooking and the use of spring onions or is Hyd facing a shortage of springies?To add to it,is the new age veg fried rice a rice tossed with no veggies?, we kept digging for gold(veggies)but unfortunately nothing materialised:( -Any Chinese restaurant with a pakoda on their menu is just plainly NOT fine dine chinese,It was such a let down reading the menu.And what is m"A"ngolian rice-?Lets get the right handside correct on the menu-thats all tht matters,the left hand side be damned-afterall its all the same isnt it-same batter,same sauce! -The only difference between a Pepper Chicken and a Chicken Pakoda as per them is in the Geometry of the pieces-Pepper is shapeless like an amoeba and Pako is round like a "circle" everything else same.Can somebody please tell them Pepper means Capsicum aka Bell Pepper!!!! -Meal for two at INR 1200rs ,I am sorry,I think I have been spoiled rotten and royally by Chinese Pavilion-easily the best in the country!I sincerely hope and wish Haiking and CP are not referred to in the same breath.Yes this is defi good if I was looking for a quick street food experience at one fourth the prices,but not at such prices. Such a long review is just my way of venting out my frustration of having spent some hard earned money on some really sad food-sigh:( |

No offense to you F1dotcom, however this place is a "Never Visit" for Vegetarians. Based on reviews and suggestion by fellow BHPian (no offense to anyone), I did go to Chinese Pavilion ditching Aromas of China. Starting with the service, the soup, starter, noodles and everything was plain rubbish. No taste at all to sum it up. Swore never to go again. I would stay hungry but not step my foot in Chinese Pavilion. | |

| ![]() A bit of an unusual post but what the heck, here goes - It's been more than a year since I shifted out of Hyderabad. Now I badly want to have the Paradise Biryani - with no sight of anyone coming down to Delhi, what are my options? :( Had heard earlier that GATI used to deliver in other cities but don't see any info on it now. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Can someone suggest the best place for Kerala food? A couple of my friends wanted to try out some Kerala dishes. So just asking if anything has improved in the last couple of months? Did anyone try out the Kerala Kitchen (Kondapur) or Utupura (Banjara Hills) recently? I've had some bad experience from both the places long back and have not tried Kerala food outside in recent times. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Guys, Anyone has info on Menchie's? It was a sweet little place. Been closed for a while now. Last I heard their confectioneries were blocked at customs. |

Kairali is a better option if you can overlook the ambience or lack of it. I read on some forum that Uttupura is no longer run by a Malayalee and has hence lost its charm. (Ranjitp1 can confirm) Have you tried Aksons Cafeteria. It is located at Punjagutta. Cross Central and go towards NIMS, its the last shop before the first left (the road that leads you to Rajbhavan road). Heard good reviews about it. This shop was also featured last week on Amrita TV news snippet, "Thattukada". I havent been there yet since finding parking will be a nightmare. | |

Looks like the best reply for someone asking me for trying authentic Kerala food in Hyderabad is to suggest a vacation to Kerala. ![]() Akson used to be good, except for the parking as you rightly pointed out and the cramped layout. There are only a few tables where a group of 4 can sit properly. We used to park in Hyd Central mall and walk down to Akson, mostly during lunch and evening tea/snacks. Try out the evening tea if you get a chance, not many places here seem to have that tradition. | |

I used to be a regular at Akson's cafe about 10 years back. Used to love the pepper eggs and parotta. Should go there sometime. | |
