FoodStop: Golkonda
chimney
Well, it is Marthahalli’s Leela palace, Taj Vivanta, Hyatt
and everything. A small area has been cleverly utilized to provide 3 varieties
of seating arrangement. Normal arrangement on the ground floor in dingy light,
bright area on top for families and my favorite
open air area adjacent to it where pretty candle shimmers on the table
and stars in the sky. The place is frequented by chicken lovers often.

Food is yummy! We find more options than the usual lollipop,
chilly chicken and kebabs in starters as well as main course. Amazing chicken
dishes with fancy names tempt more than the usual. Price is as good as the
quality. A normal chicken item costs around Rs 180.
Funnily, bringing the
bill takes more time than bringing the dishes.
Shining stars:
Chimney Kebab, Chicken Chatpat, Mint Roti.
Tip: Carry your
own water if possible. Mineral water is for 45 damn bucks.
FoodStop: Meghana
Foods, M G Road
The place is simple, bright and clean with real banana
leaves as plate and own hands as spoon J. Generally, it is hoarded by decent people with
serious love for good food.

The biryanis here are amazingly magnetic to our tastebuds.
The staff is friendly and their recommendations are worth ordering. So, relax
your brain, loosen the buttons, wash hands and get mesmerized in one of the
precious gifts of Hyderabad.
Food is reasonably priced with biryanis priced around Rs
160. One bowl is enough for 2 not-so-hungry souls.
If food comes fast, bill comes faster. It gets a lil
annoying when the bill is brought even before the food finishes.

Meghana Special Biryani, Present day’s special starter.
FoodStop: Chandni Chowk, Kormangala
If Chandni Chowk is anywhere on earth, it is not just in Delhi.
A part of it glitters in the heart of Bangalore as well. Located at a 5 minute
walkable distance from Oasis mall, its first glimpse reminds of a happy wedding
party with string of tiny bulbs adorning the entire building. Lucky ones like
me may get to enter into a beautiful bollywood like setup with booming live
dhol and Punjabi music setting up the mood.
The classy granite has been ditched for pebbles on the
floor. The menu card is a unique silk dhapli. Walls are ethnic and curtains are
shiny sitaaras. You admire and eat on the faces of bollywood divas
simultaneously who pose on the wall as well as the table mats :D
The place screams “Happy Punjabi Happy Punjabi” with its
infectious loudness in decoration, filmy music and periodic bursts of dhol.

Food is brand Punjabi. The hidden Punjabi foodster awakens amidst
traditional varieties of chicken. Having Lassi is not a choice, it is a
compulsion thanks to its awesomeness.
Shining stars: ta
ta ta ta tandoori nights for starters and
go gaga over Rara chicken for main course.
Everybody grows a sweet tooth by default after licking
chicken off their plate.
Tip: Control your
emotions while ordering or next day some may see loose motions.
It
is one of those weird places where food comes first, cutlery comes second and
plates come last. The place needs a makeover even more than Sonakshi
Sinha’s forehead. The walls are old and scratched and 6th sense
screams that tables are unclean. String with broken egg shells around each bulb
is simply tacky. The only innovation in the miserly setup ambience is probably
the blackboards with some deadly PJs scribbled on them.

Egg Factory is surely worth a visit. But just
one visit. Some of the dishes are actually very good and new. Do enquire about
the curry of dishes with hi-fi names. Dishes in tomato curry are sweeter than
they should be.
All
in all, Food is heavy, not the cost. Most expensive dish is for Rs 145.

stars: Pink Lady, Roasted Chillies Frittata, Pasts Al Burj, Choco Sin :*
Tip:
The eggy dishes may disappoint incase you go with too much eggspectation. Also,
original French toast is actually sweet. Avoid drinking in their egg kissed
glasses.
