Eat, Drink on the Bogey

How about not paying huge sum of money, overcoming all hassle of booking and featuring onto the waiting list which you usually face if you have book a stay at Palace On Wheels. All this can enjoyed at an amazing restaurant in Hyderabad. Ofcourse you will not have the same grandeur like Palace of wheels but trust me n my taste buds you will get the taste of hyderabadi n mughlai khana.
Venue: Sahib, Sind Sultan
SSS is BJN group of restaurant just like Ohri’s in Hyderabad. The restaurant is opened on the 4th Floor of the City Centre mall. There can no place other than this where you spend your special day!
Ofcourse if your rich you can even have dinner at Falaknama Palace taken over by Taj and spending cover charges of 2000 per head.....but i give you more cheaper option and that can be another reason to follow my blog regularly especially for all the Food-oholics!
SSS has a special bogey situated in the the restaurant. you have to reserve your seats before you enter into the first class nawabi train. you can also enjoy your dinner sitting on the platform but i would suggest that you book it in advance. the decor is really beautiful and dishes are rich with flavors.
It is on the expensive side but a dinner for 4 will cost you around 4000+ if you order hard drinks too.

Must Try: Mutton Rib Korma, this is my all time favourite. The taste is rich and it has a strong flavour. But you can’t go without trying the Galouti Kebab. Your taste buds will be tantelized with the flavour of mace, garam masala and red chillies. It is so smooth that it dissapears once the salvina touches it............OMG my mouth is watering!

Try Your Hands:
Ingredients:
1 kg lamb very finely minced
1 tbsp ginger paste
2 tbsps garlic paste
2 tbsps butter
4 tbsps raw papaya paste
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1/4 tsp mace powder
4 tbsps bengal gram flour, lightly roasted
Salt to taste
3 tbsps oil/ghee to fry the kababs
Preparation:
Add all the ingredients (except the ghee) to the lamb mince and mix well.
Refrigerate the whole mix for 1 hour.
Remove the mix from the refrigerator and form into patties.
Heat the ghee on a heavy-bottomed skillet (on a medium flame) and fry the kababs till golden on both sides.
Cool on paper towels. Serve with Mint-Coriander Chutney.

Savor the American Flavor

When you want to dig your fingers into the barbequed pork ribs and chicken in Jack Daniel sauce there is only one place you can think about...TGIF ( Thank God Its Friday). Many of you who have visited the western hemisphere..this is not the post for you. This post only will be read by the people who still wants to be in this part of the world and savor the western delights.....hic hic

No other place in Hyderabad has this kind of restaurant. Though the cost is too high for even a plate of burger but you think of your pinch pocket later for a plate of barbecued Pork ribs especially imported.

Trust me the sight of the dish itself is mouth watering. ummmmmmmmhh...

So for the first timers in Hyderabad here comes the place and the way to it. TGIf is situated in cinemax. “The R.K. Cineplex , Hyderabad restaurant can seat 153 people, and is open for business between 12 noon and 11:30 pm. This restaurant will offer Friday's® exceptional experience along with Friday's® Fun loving relaxed sporty decor, mouthwatering food and efficient service.”

The place: T.G.I. Friday's™
R.K. Cineplex, Banjara Hill,
Road No. 2
Hyderabad

The food here is filling and i bet people who have low apetite for me please don’t order a palte for yourself, couple decide on a menu and order just one plate. The food is extremely rich and absolutely no no for the health conscious. If you want to indulge inthe sinful act of having loads of french fries, red meat with different types to cheesy sauce then this is the palce.
My suggestion do try the: Chicken platter with Jack daniel sauce and prok ribs.

Nawabi Splendour

Venue: Tansen

This place just took my heart away. An elegant restaurant by Ohri’s, situated on the Necklace road; Hyderabad. It has a large spread of authentic nawabi food. The décor is astounding with a mild indian music playing in the background, live. A must for any type of grandeur celebrations. If you want to impress some one then you cannot miss this out.

The rates are little too high if compared to the road side restaurants and less if compared to the five starrers. Over all it is a great place to be with friends, family or the special some one.

Must Have: Galouti Kababs, they are rich spicy tenderly mashed lanb meat kababs. When put into your mouth they just melt away leaving the rich flavour of the Indian spices used. So much so, you munch once you would not like to share the plate with none. Not convinced? Why don’t you try out and leave a comment on my blog to prove me wrong.
