PS: GIKF also includes a free beverage.

If you think they are better than BN then surely will pay them a visit soon. Just for the Galouti ( got the correct spelling) Kebabs.

I enjoy these kebabs the best in Delhi and hope GIKF can match them

EDIT: Ardy, why didnt you suggest GIKF for our meet yesterday....grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Been to Chang Hua with my Family yesterday for a much awaited dinner. We ordered food and were having it merrily when my mom spotted a cockroach in the "Baby Corn Mushroom". That was the turn off and we could not even take in a spoonful of food after that. Had to walk out half-hearted.

What's this Nikhil, I told you to try Reshmi's and you decided to go to Chung Hua. Anyways, sad to know about your experience. Was it at the Basheerbagh location?

I experienced not once but twice at one of the most popular chinese joint in Hyderabad. Yeah, you guessed it right at Haiking.

When it can happen at an very upmarket restuarant like Haiking, it can happen at Chung Hua too. Need to be wary of these hotels.

After a lot of tried and testing, i always headed to Ming's Court for Chinese food. Trust me, very few places come close to MC

Been to another small breakfast outlet in Begum Bazaar for the first time, forgot the name of this place but is quite popular in Begum Bazar. This place is a few meters ahead of Chatri and falls in a lane on your left hand side.

Hot and Soft Idlis, very tasty
Exotic Dosas ( All kinds, Paneer, Mushroom, Tora Tora..what not), Tasty
Tomato Bath, soft and melting in your mouth types

Price Ranges from Rs.15 to Rs.35 per plate.

Nice place to grab some economical tasty breakfast

At least a map link of the same.
Sounds good. I want to check it out.

The brotherhood of expanding waistlines.

Avi, there seems to be a pattern here. Most of the Chinese restaurants seem to be serving up roaches for free. Weren't we talking of exotic food, or do we call it alternative food, yesterday?

I thought of going to Reshmi's as we discussed but Mom said Lets have something in Chinese and unanimously my family screamed CHANG HUA. I felt as if the moment I reject their choice, it would be Karate all around the place. I think now my family will think twice before saying chang hua. But, would love to visit Reshmi's today.

Avi, why not plan for a Team-BHP Breakfast Meet. Chalk down the locations and lets meet up for breakfast. Thinking about this, Breakfast with Hot Cuppa Tea and few glorious moments spent with the team on wintery morning.

Lets indulge ourselves into breakfast binge on any of the Sunday Mornings.

Well, i am not technology savvy like you most folks. I dont even know how to use google maps...LOL

Give me a little time, will post directions step-wise ( the old fashion way). Been too tied up today. Unprecedented customer meetings in a single day. I am glad atleast the business end is looking up

You bet Macha. They dont know that there are very few takers for such exotic food here in India. And, till now they were thinking it was a favor by serving that free to us

Sounds like a good idea. But, meet time should be atleast 9:00AM on a sunday or you will scare people away.

Why dont you take a lead on this one?

Can anybody guide me towards tasty Bandi Dosa's. Been itching to have some but had too much of Shanbag and Gayatri Bhawan

traveloholic · 28th October 2009, 19:57

Bandi Dosa's love them a lot. Ok, head on to this link Anirudh, you will find something good in store.
