36 BBQ

The concept is similar to Barbeque Nation, but somehow the quality and spread of the food doesn't match it. 

However, the food was good. Fish and Chicken Kababs were good. The Mushroom grill was good. In the main course, the fish pulusu and chicken curry was good too. Somehow my mind was just at Barbeque Nation all the time, and maybe that's why didn't enjoy much here. 

Plus, we had a very very bad service. The head waiter apologised saying they were not accustomed to handle so much crowds, but then I guess a bad service stays on in your mind! 

Either way, I guess you can still try out the food here and decide for yourself :) 

Price: ~450 for Buffet

Location: Secunderabad (near Paradise)

Nan King

One of the earliest Chinese restaurants in Hyderabad, this tiny place in the busy Secunderabad area has never once lost its sheen in its long existence here. Practically every item is very good here, that it is hard to make just one recommendation for a full meal. However, what one should never miss here are the awesome Drumsticks! Sometimes it is difficult to explain the taste, and the feeling after that – this is one of those moments! You should also have Cantonese soup. This soup is a little milder than what you get at other places, which I think is the right way of preparing this soup. Schwezwan Chicken Fried Rice is also cooked very well here, but any main course item is good here. Being the famous place this is, the waiting time is sometimes excruciating. I am not a big fan of waiting for food :D, so I make it a point to generally go there a little early. They have recently extended their seating area, but I heard the wait still didn't get any better!

Paradise

Like Bawarchi, it offers one of the best Biryanis in twin Cities. The junction at which this place is located is actually named after this restaurant! Your order is very simple here. Chicken Biryani ( don't forget to add extra masala ), chicken 65, and thums up. Don't forget to order Falooda here. It is out of the world :) If you are a light eater, then 1 biryani is enough for two people. And when you come out, eat a pan, go home and sleep happily!

Location: Paradise Circle, Secunderabad Cuisine: Biryani :D No Buffet Cost: If you cannot eat a full biryani, then ~150 ! Else double it ;-)
