I have a team lunch at Kondapur same time. Will try to come next time.

Cheers

BheemBoy,
Just come over next time without fail.
The underlying policy of all meets is simple : Those who attend get to enjoy, those who not attend do not get to enjoy".
FYI, out of the 25 attendees today, 3 were veggies and 22 non veggies.
The veggies were Hillram, Gauravdgr8 and Sparsh.
The teaser photo (and the first one of the meet) posted by Mashmash shows stuffed mushrooms, a veggie dish.
The only meet which is tailor-made for non veggies is the "Haleem Meet". However, surprisingly, Hillram, a veggie, never ever misses those meets also.
See you next time!

Thanks to Traveloholic and all other attendees, especially, Gajadonga. Amazing to have so many people turn up.

Traveloholic, by the way, did we order Thyme or Basil Chicken? What did it taste like?

Okay, when and where is the next meet?

It's already decided isn't it? A mega dinner meet on Jan 21st at NoRules home

This dinner meet will feature some authentic nizami and telangana food.

If we start a confirmation count now, it may go overboard to 200% attendance. Therefore, lets start it only on Monday next week

It was not served Avi Bhai. It was all due to the following post by Manish, which created this confusion

Manish, you are mistaken, We never had Meat Balls. Wish we had it, Bajaj Saab reminded me later about the Meat Balls.

We ordered Thyme Scented Chicken today. It tastes more like Reshmi Chicken marinated in cream

hehe!! ok apologies
But on a second thought can't thyme scented chicken be called as meat balls.
Alright Alright! they didn't at all looked like balls,

Hydeez, This is one of the best meets we had with some of the most amazing spread. I always had aversion to Mushrooms and the cheese mushrooms are out of this world and so was the cheese macaroni and last but not the least the blueberry cake. Hillram saab, just the way you described it, this lunch has been completely sinful and I have to be in the gym for the next 2 days to lose the calories gained in the 2 hour lunch meet span. It was nice meeting all of you. Keep the forum rocking.

Avinash bhai, I hope this meet is includes veggies . Will wait for the invite. Looking forward to having loads of fun with our forum members.

My come back meet was excellent. Did n't know that small and not hi-fi looking restaurant that i was always avoiding though it is very close to my home serves such exotic food. And people next to me who were thinking that i am not letting go a single dish past me, sorry guys "couldn't resist" such awesome food.

Now I remember, those 8 pieces in a plate, that dish, cool.
Yes, I had the 1st piece from the 1st plate while you had the 2nd piece.
Right!

No one has yet commented about the prawns.
Surprising!
I found them to be perfectly crunchy on the outside while retaining their juiciness.
They were pretty good sized and very well cooked and looked just amazing.
Did anyone click the prawns?

Nikhil, please do pass on my appreciation to Paresh & his team for serving us some really wonderful food and while at it, do keep some compliments for yourself for having chosen the better dishes from the menu.

I guess people are still trying to settle down after the heavy lunch at OTF. Guess some of the might have dozed off to sleep at office itself and its time to wake up.

Did anyone atleast get to see how the prawns looked it. I guess even before the plate could be kept on the table, the prawns vanished in thin air. This shows how tasty the prawns were.

Shall surely do it. They really need to be commended for serving us wonderful food without much delay between the serves.

Ahhhhh! once again.

Here is something I love having at OTF but did not suggest as felt it might not appeal to many people. I always enjoyed it albiet it has loads of butter in it. Lemon Chilli Prawns - Prawns marinated in lemon juice, chillies and basil leaves. Served with Butter Kus Kus

Right!

I just about managed to click a picture before the pieces vanished. The blur because I was trying to be as quick as possible. You can see one piece already missing.

I did take out my camera to click the Prawns, however, when I saw fingers picking them up, I put the camera aside and pick one for myself.

Nikhil: Thank you very much. The success of this meet is without any doubt thanks to YOU.

The OTF Lunch Meet is a grand success only due to all the people, who have confirmed and turned up at the meet. It's good to see all the members coming together and making this a grand success. It is very rare to see 25 people joining for a Lunch Meet.

These are the only pics I could capture due to reasons known to everyone there

From The Poultry Pizza


Chicken Paprika Pizza

The lingering effect of the OTF Meet is unimaginable.
What a gathering it was !!! Few pics of the massive group of epicurians.
Check out the food thread for gourmet stuff.

[gauravdgr8]

24 hours have passed by and am still relishing the taste of the food @ OTF.

Team, an awesome meet with some doubly awesome food. Nikhil, thanks to you for all the co-ordination.

Deadly food is what I would say. Going in again today to have some stuff packed for home.

[mobike008]
