U S Pizza @ Vinayaknagar, Hyd

Never give it a try if you really want a delicious pizza. :)

Except for the location and ambience, there's nothing good - Simply avoid it.

Writing more than this adds to the amout I spent on my bday party at this very venue :).

Team Lunch at Veggies

Our team at work place have 70% veggies and it was always a discussion or WAR of WORDS on the venue for team lunchs - Veg Restaurant Vs Non-Veg. Most of the times we (veggies) give up for the benefit of minority :) Last month, we changed our minds and visited Veggies near Ratnadeep, Madhapur.

To put it short, food was good

Plus points:

• Location is accessible and near My Home hub, hitech city.
• Food taste - Awesome
• Ambience - decent enough
• Service - Good & bad.
• Variety - À la carte is just ok, but Buffet is good enough
• Value for money - Very good (sply with Buffet)
• Parking - good, vallet parking available

Minus points:

• Service motto is there with staff but things are not being served on time.
• You plan for a 1hour luncheon, they make it a 2.5hours :) through the delay in service

Bottomline: for veggies, it offers a good buffet at economical prices.

Kala Khand - Sweet

For Kova, Vijaya Dairy Kova taste is superb for the consistency they maintain.

And for Kalakand, Siva Rama Krishna Sweets of Vizag is best in business. If you love sweets, dont forget to visit Siva Rama Krishna sweets of Vizag.

Andhra Meals & Biryani

The best place to taste Andhra Meals is in Arya Bhavan hotel, Vizag, Andhra Pradesh. The variety of items and the taste of each of them make is very special.

The menu consists of curries, sambar and dal along with a wide variety of pickles and other south Indian Specials (I am not too sure about their names in English). If a person want to see the taste of Andhra Meals, one visit to Arya bhavan hotel gives you that. Be sure that you have an empty stomach and fit to have a good fulllll meal when you visit this hotel. Otherwise, you will end up regretting that you dont have enough space to taste two more dishes!!!

Dwaraka hotel at Lakdikapul, Hyderabad is another hotel which has good touch of Andhra Meals but stands nowhere when we compare with Arya Bhavan. Kamat is a good place and scores best with ambience than the taste.

Nandini is a best option if you are looking for good Andhra Meals in Banglore.

And for Biryani,

Hyderbad Biryani served at Bavarchi stands out but when served hot. If you take a parcel and go home to have it, you are sure to lose half the taste of it.

Next stands Paradise Biryani....

Chai samosa!!!

Time changes a lot and here is something which I could show as an example from my life!!! I used to wonder about the HYD Chai Samosa culture. But now, am very much into it after my five year stay here in Hyderabad.

So, here I wish to list the places where I found the Chai (tea) nourishes and rejuvunates the taste buds and the mind..

Adrak Chai (ginger tea):

My favourite spot for the Adrak Chai is near Khairatabad Ganesh, Hyderabad. Specially in the mornings, at around 6 AM if we go and have the tea there, it makes up the day for you!!! Its not a big shop, but is a small tea stall.

Irani Chai:
This flavour of tea I have tasted only after coming to Hyderabad. And the best of the lot in Hyderabad is Golden Tea at Blue Sea, Near Secunderabad Station.

Rumaan(at Tolichowki) and Zeeshan (Lunger House) follow after that.

Samosa:
THE best taste I experienced is near Kothaguda Junction. Near the bus stop on Hitech City Road.
