Nihal Dhaba,Hitec City

Located right next to Asal Dhaba...opposite the lane to Motorola office, this has the same ambience as Asal but the food quality and the service here is pathetic. Many of my friends and office colleagues love this place...but somehow this dhaba has failed to woo me even though i tried my very best to like it. One of my friends who is a pure veggie was once served chicken with paneer ( same happened to him in Paradise ;) ). Now i hope you got what i meant by pathetic service and quality.

Overall Take : Go for it.. if this is the only place that is serving food on this planet

This place doesn't deserve a rating!!

Asal Dhaba - Hitec City

If you like North Indian food...this is one place which you dare not miss. It is located in a very laid back place opposite to motorola lane..dont go by the surroundings, the quality of the food will definitely surprise you :)!!

One of the very few veg places i have visited so many times ( more than a dozen infact)...that goes to suggest the quality of food this place offers.

Coming to the Menu - Parathas are my favourite here - they offer all kinds - Aloo, Muli, Onion, Paneer,dal etc etc

The unlimited thali they offer for 75/- is too good..it tastes like real home made food. They give you these very soft phulkas which they make in front of you, dal, rice, paneer,sweet, raita etc

Overall Take : If you want "Ghar-ka-khana" outside ghar..Asal is the place.

Average Cost - 80/- per head
Service : Good - 3/5
Ambience : Average - 2/5
Khaana: Excellent - 4/5
Paisa Vasool - Excellent - 4/5
Adda : Hitec City, Opposite Motorola lane

Mozzarella Nirvana - Banjara Hills

Previously known as Pink Elephant...this place has been renovated and renamed as Mozzarella which by the name suggests is an Italian cuisine restaurant... right opposite Audi showroom. Well, we went in with a lot of expectations..but the food seriously disappointed us. Non-Veg : Italian Chicken Soup was good (not out of the world though). Grilled Fish steak was ok. The marinated chicken appetizer sucked. The Mud Slide cocktail ( Vodka + Chocolate + Vanilla Ice cream ) was ok for me.

Overall take : Go here if you got a triple digit pay hike and want to burn your pockets. Although you will be floored by the ambience and this is a perfect place for romantic dinners.

Average Cost - 1300/- per head
