Hyderabad Food Trip – Tolichowki
Hyderabad Food Trip – Tolichowki In general, when someone utters the word culinary tourism in Hyderabad- it’s almost a given that they’re taking about the Charminar locality. The area around Charminar, often known as Old City has been at the helm of every food blogger’s bucket list. As I had mentioned in my travelogue- Hyderabad…

Hyderabad Food Trip – Old City
The first thing that pops into my head when I think about Hyderabad is the Biriyani– mind blowing, delicious Biriyani. This is not just because I am a food lover, generally the first thing that any Indian can talk about when the name of this city comes to their head, is the biriyani. When I…

The ThickShake Factory, Hyderabad
#Insanely #ThickShakes During my school days in Kannur-Kerala, me and my friends used to visit these Ice Cream parlors especially during the peak summer season. Although named Ice Cream parlors they were more popular for the thick milk shakes served. As a matter of fact anyone from Kerala would have- at least once in their lifetime- been exposed…

Glocal Junction, Hyderabad
Glocal Junction For a food lover, perhaps the greatest challenge is to satisfy his/her own taste buds. We ourselves decide which restaurant to visit based on what food we like. Today, I may feel like having Thai food and so I would home in on a restaurant that serves amazing Thai food. Tomorrow my palate may crave for some lip-smacking…

Mekong – Marigold By Green Park, Hyderabad
Mekong – Marigold By Green Park Before I start reviewing Mekong, I’d like to talk about two separate entities- Burrp and Marigold Hotels– the former is a local food and restaurant recommendation engine and the latter, a brand of 5-star luxury hotels. How did I find out about Burrp? While checking-in to numerous fine-dine restaurants in…

China Bistro, Hyderabad
China Bistro I have always been a fan of Pan-Asian cuisine with a special admiration for Thai cuisine– I totally love the strong aromatic elements of the dishes and the not-so-apparent level of spice. Ever since my visit to Phuket an Phi Phi Islands– the former cuisine is now my most favourite. Frankly, I haven’t tried a…

Kaficko, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad
As the Hyderabad chapter of my life comes to an end, so does the number of days at my disposal to visit the restaurants currently bookmarked on my Zomato profile. This, sort of puts me in a sticky situation- to short-list a list of already short-listed restaurants. So, it was a Sunday and after a lot of thought we decided…

WOFL, Hyderabad
WOFL, Hyderabad After a pleasant experience, munching on waffles last week at an outlet in Hi-tech city, we (Herwin Abhilash Kandoth) were eager to visit WOFL. It wasn’t difficult to locate WOFL- located on Road no 3, Banjara Hills, behind the TV 9 office.. Well! What do you know? The same lane where Hotel Shadab…

Eat India Company, Hyderabad
Eat India Company- is located on the first floor of a building that also houses popular restaurants- Via Milano and Urban Asia. Once you walk in through the darbar-like door, the first thing that you notice is the scintillating interior décor. We visited Eat India Company (heron will refer to as EIC) for dinner- after hearing about the visually…

United Kitchens of India, Hyderabad
United Kitchens Of India I heard about this place for the first time when a good friend and food lover- Nazeef was invited for a Zomato foodie meet up to UKI. He sat for some time explaining the ‘no-garam masala‘ food experience.

Hotel Shadab, Hyderabad
“It is in our nature to want more, especially when it comes to food. We don’t know when to stop and frankly I don’t think we should either.“ Some of the most embarrassing times are when your loved ones narrate stories about your childhood- possibly an incident that pretty much establishes that you were a…

4 Seasons, Hyderabad
Yousuf Tekri – Located at Tolichowki, this commercial complex needs no introduction; every foodie in Hyderabad knows the nexus of restaurants housed here. All the restaurants located here- besides being legendary are unique in the varied dishes that they serve. The very same day that I arrived in Hyderabad, my brother Amithesh took me here and told me-…

Ci Gusta – The Burger Festival
Ci Gusta, Ci Gusta, Ci Gusta– heard a lot about this place from fellow foodies and food bloggers but failed to pay a visit to this restaurant; many have claimed in their review- Ci Gusta has been consistently delivering quality Italian food experience. I must admit that the plan to visit Ci Gusta has always slipped through my mind,…

3B’s – Buddies, Bar, Barbecues
We have all been to Absolute Barbecues and their close competitor Barbeque Nation– both restaurant chains have no doubt given birth to two different concepts in the food industry. The former represents itself as India‘s first ‘wish grill’ restaurant, whereas the latter has taken the idea of DIY (Do It Yourself) cuisine to a whole new level. Both restaurants…

For the love of Chef Inam’s Steak house
For the love of Chef Inam’s Steak house 2012- OK! I am not here to prophesize the end of the world (something Roland Emmerich did with his movie 2012), instead I am here to tell you about a narrative. ” To me no foodie becomes what he becomes without having at least one chef influence him. ” (my version of…

Komatose, Hyderabad
Little over a year ago, I had visited Jonathan’s Kitchen with my good friend and foodie Nazeef Nazir. He learnt about Jonathan’s Kitchen from Zomato, as a restaurant notable for serving North Indian, Italian and Japanese cuisine. We walked in to JK (Jonathan’s Kitchen) for dinner and had an amazing experience- for more on that,…

Flying Spaghetti Monster, Hyderabad.
Flying Spaghetti Monster Whenever we decide to have lunch on a Sunday, the first thing that comes to mind is ‘Sunday Brunch‘. But then again, most restaurants that claim to specialize in ‘brunch‘, typically deliver this experience through a quality buffet. Personally, I hold the opinion that a restaurant’s finest and delectable food is best experienced in their à la…

Sunday Brunch at N-Grill
Sunday Brunch at N-Grill After having an amazing experience at District-N, I decided to visit this place-which again is owned by N3 Enterprises.
