In Hyderabad, Eat here!
Bliss Punjabi Paratha
Inorbit Mall Food Court
One of the best things to have happened to Hyderabad is Four Seasons restaurant in Toli Chowki. And they have a branch in the food court here too. Their non-veg combo is good - in the multiple times I ate it here, never was disappointed. Chicken65, Chicken Sticks, Fish Kabab, Tangdi Kabab, Chicken Lollipop, Schezwan Chicken Fried Rice are all very good here. Most of the times, we end up eating at Four Seasons!
Don't eat here. Period. First, he doesn't take the correct order, then tells me I didn't order. Then he gets the wrong order (I ordered for Soup+Schezuan chicken+chicken in garlic sauce) - he gets Black Pepper chicken and Chicken in Garlic Sauce (and no soup!). Not having the patience to wait for the actual order to come, decided to start eating and then realise the chicken is like very hard ! Not stale, but hard like a rock... not sure what to make of it! Should have listened to Shravya when she said that this should be renamed as Mad at China! Late realisation from my side!

Actually the "fruit exotica" icecream they make is very good, but then it is Rs.126/- ! I guess all good things come at a cost :D... worth eating, though not everytime we go there though!
Mayur Pan Shop
And then there is the Grilled Sandwich. Three bread pieces on top of each, cut into 4 pieces, with the right mixture of vegetables, pudina chutney and cheese.... ahaaaaa... :) :)
And ofcourse, eat the special pan inside the Pan shop and your day is done! We haven't tried other stuff there, but surely we will go again to try. Also, this corner also has a juices stall.
Eat Street
It has multiple food joints, all of which are expensive :D. Like a stupid fellow, I even had Sugarcane juice which was Rs.25/- !! The Chinese at one end is decent enough. Other than the usual stuff, the sauce that comes with it awesome :). Haven't bothered eating pizzas and subs in there. We once tried fish and prawns at the sea food joint, but a. They were expensive b. Quantity was low - hence no repetition! You can maybe grab a frankie while you wait for your main course to be dished out. The place looks crowded, but once you get a seat, I guess it ain't matter anymore. One thing you need to pray - Tank Bund shouldn't dish out its foul smell the day you go there!

Deccan Food Joint
Located in the small bylane beside Baker's Inn, this is essentially a take away joint. Has a decent seating area too, but still would prefer parcels. Food is good - no complaints so far. Tried the Chicken Tangdi Kabab, Butter Chicken (there was this craving one day to badly have this dish, as it has been ages!), egg burji, chicken 65 and Mutton Biryani. All were good. However, the rotis and naans are not that great... can avoid them if possible. Otherwise, a decent place to go pick up your food and eat while watching TV!
Location: Somajiguda, beside Bakers Inn
N-Grill
Ahhh - this is not for normal crowd. If you want to burn your pockets, please feel free to go here. Not that your stomach will be satisfied after all that pocket burning you do. He recommended Fish Tikka... we thought it will be some out of the world experience. Turns out, it is the same as you get in a normal food joint but 5 times as expensive here! Essentially this place has dishes from Europe, US etc... doesn't appeal to our mass taste buds, you see :) . Clearly, Nagarajuna was catering to a different audience!
Location: Banjara Hills, Road No.36
Red Beans
Been here once, for the lunch buffet. Nothing extraordinary (though their noodles were very good!). Starters had kabab and chinese, and the kabab was good. I am having difficulty recollecting the main course since it's been a while :( . All I remember from this is the Noodles :) . Next time, will update better, promise :)
Bowl-O-China
A one time visit is all that I could manage to this place so far! Had schezuan chicken fried rice with some fish curry... don't recollect the name. Will update this the next time I go there.. this delay in updating is causing the memory loss :(
Sri Kavya Food joint
Located right beside Anjappar, in Panjagutta, this is another parcel only joint. Tried biryani, mutton varities and chicken varities. No complaints at all :) .. just walk in and pick up any non-veg dish - I don't think you will be disappointed.
