Yep - hang a left at that junction coming from Madhapur and it'll be on your left hand side after a km or so. You have Irani Chai, Spicy Venue and Vacs on that same road.

Seems to be a good place to have a meet. How about a mid weeker?

If u guys planning for LIVE, let me know. Think can get a good deal or discount.

anurag_p80 · 19th May 2010, 11:04

That place is bloody loud man. Even without TBHPians. Or maybe it was because of the IPL matches? Anybody else have experience to share? If it is that loud all the time, deal or no deal, I ain't going back. Rather go to a proper disc if I want loud music and a dance floor.

How about HRC on one of the Thursdays? They have a live band, some of them are pretty ok actually. Can someone get a deal?

Ram?

Been there twice and both times it was serene and peaceful. Heck, even the large screen was not switched on. This was Pre-IPL days.

Paradise in HiTec City
Was passing by the KFC in the Shilparamam complex - Saw a banner announcing arrival of Paradise in that complex.

Hope they keep their standards.

Having said that, their original outlet itself has become pretty inconsistent.

LonelyPlanet · 19th May 2010, 19:44

Agree - Paradise can taste from good to bad depending on the day. In my opinion its better tasting on weekends.
But then there are hardly any options of decent biryani in hitec city area so this should be a welcome addition.
Lets see what Ohri's setup is like (coming up in cyberpearl)

Happened to eat dinner @ paradise yesterday evening ,the weather was nice and chose to seat in their non ac dine in. this place is utter chaos man,i mean people are every where.

usually i always did the take away thing so was kinda surprised to see so many people just flock in and out.

had the chicken biryani along with butter chicken and rumali rotis,with the lovely caramel custard to sum it up.

total cost for 2 inr 700 with tips.

as stated by others i have always had a different taste of the biryani,makes it difficult to say which time was the best.

the waiter tells me that there are 20k people dinning everyday

,i love the food business man..

p.s: it takes guts to open up another biryani joint opposite paradise..that place was deserted.

mobike008 · 20th May 2010, 13:03

Whatever be its taste, it has garnered so much reputation. Just dining in Paradise is an "experience"

It does take real guts to open another Biryani Outlet opposite Paradise. I do agree, but the Biryani served at ZamZam tastes far better as compared to Paradise. I've been there a number of times, but mostly Take-Away's. The only difference between Paradise and ZamZam is, Paradise is too bland as compared to ZamZam's. Its been long since i've been there, so can't really comment on the present day scenario.

Dining at Paradise has kind of become a ritual for people, who come visiting to Hyderabad. Paradise seems to attract one and all alike.

Their taste does change from time to time and outlet to outlet. The Biryani at Paradise Main Branch is different from the one at Masab Tank. They are way way too inconsistent in terms of taste.
