| Senior - BHPian  | Yesterday, went to "Blue Fox" Himayathnagar for dinner. Been to this restuarant after more than 6 months. First thing I noticed is they jacked up their pricing considerably. Now, they can be compared to SSS. We had the following :- Carlsberg Mocktail: Rs.240 Chicken Reshmi Kebab: Rs.230 Chicken Springrolls; Rs.185 Dum Mutton Biryani : Rs.210 Total : ~ Rs.1000 Reshmi Kebab was absolutely succelent and was so perfectly cooked, it vanished the minute it was laid on the tongue. Just superb. I haven't eaten a better biryani in a long time. The meat was tender,well-cooked and it just dis-integrated in the hands. Do give this a try. Springrolls were also very good, probably better than any tier 2 chinese joint. Food is always very delicious at BF and i never got disappointed whenever i visited them. I guess, they are one of those rare telegu management run establishment who get their north indian, chinese and ofcourse, andhra food cooked to the "T" After this sumptious dinner, enjoyed a nice long bike-ride on this breezy evening on Tank Bund and Necklace Road followed by a "Monica Lewinsky" at Ohri's Basheerbagh. I have been a fan of Ohri's ice-cream for a long time, so ML was delectable as usual. |

BTW, for those of you who like continental stuff, I'd been to N Grill near Croma/ Barista on Rd # 36, J Hills. It's a mighty expensive place, but the ambience is great, and was full of firangis. We also bumped into Avi's good pal, Nagarjuna and Amla, not to mention Siddhartha (Bommarillu hero). A little later we came to know that it was owned by Nagarjuna, and that he'd sold Touche last month. The bill was a whopping 11 K for 10 persons---with booze included. When we left the place, we found that the Embera we had gone their in was the cheapest car there  | |

This place is sub-standard IMHO. Which restaurant (this one doesn't qualify as it's a house converted with few tables and a idiot behind the cash-counter) charges extra for packaging material? Even the Dosa bandi's don't charge you for packing the food! This is what part of my bill reads: Container for Curry : 5.00 Parcel Box: 3:00 Thank god they did not charge 50 paise for the carry bag! As for the food, The chicken was burnt rather than fried & the curry was ONLY OIL + too much of oil in the Porottas! !  VERDICT: Avoidable as there are lots of better options available in Hyderabad unless someone wants to spend few bucks less and talk to the waiters in Tamil/Malayalam!  | |

. I had fish and meat roast and both were decent with actually almost no oil.I'm a sucker for Kerala PAROTAS so may be thats why the report is slightly biased. BTW forgot to add previously the USP of this place I feel is you can watch Shakeela on TV while having your food , LOL!!! | ||

btw, I always note that these low-cost place seems to look good only the first time/first few times but over a small period of time they lose their consistency and become terrible. E.G: Gur Nihal, Mama Dhaba etc. I decided to cut-down my dinner outings to 4 in a month and will go only to places that i know for sure the grub is good ( even if its a little expensive). That ways, i know that i am paying for quality and not throw away hard earned money on experimentation. Some of my all time favorites remain the following where the food is "always" good. 1. Angeethi ( my all time favorite for North Indian, especially Ala-Carte and not the buffet) 2. Ming's Court 3. Mainland China 4. Ohris-Basera 5. Papaji Ka Dhaba 6. Reshmi's 7. Blue Fox 8. Palace Heights 9. Delhi Durbar ( low-cost in bowenpally) 10. Aromas 11. Terrace Bay ( Reasonably ok) 12. Barbeque Nation 13. Sahib Sind Sultan ( Expensive) I can go on with a few more names. But, i guess the above list is always the top priority when i go out for some good grub. Cheers and Happy Binging !!!  | |

The soup was the only thing that tasted nice. Restaurant was totally empty. Only my table was occupied. The service is good, the waiters and waitresses very helpful and always smiling. But FOOD is simply lacking in taste. | |
