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.

Confession of a foodoholic

Hello food lovers,

This is my first blog on foods and drinks which will feature some of my favourites with their recipes,ratings and the whereabouts of the places for the ones I have given my heart away. I will try to rate them according to my taste buds, rest you will be the one to decide.

The passion of foods was entrenched by my father and I am grateful to him. Now my tingling taste buds have landed with writing a food blog. I have also turned my husband into a passionate food lover. With the mixture of west-east Bengal, I savour each and every food. Reservations for some are always there. The passion for tasting them has also led me into the kitchen. So here, wish me luck with my new endeavour.

Watch this space for some lip smacking foods, its recipes and some should-not-miss places in different parts of India.

To start with, I will coddle myself with nawabi delicacies!
