Hyderabad Restaurant - Zafran Exotica

Location - Road No 12, Jubilee Hilss
Cuisine - Indian (Predominantly North Indian)

It was one of the coldest days in Hyderabad (5 degrees below normal), we decided to go to a restaurant which has open air sitting. Though Zafran Exotica has close door sitting as well, open air one is more appealing.

It is one of the old restaurants in the city which has been able to maintain quality and taste at no so expensive prices. The lunch buffet is reasonably good - decent choice of starters, followed up with a rich main course and Ok types of deserts. Things to order include: starters - cheese balls, bhindi kurkuri; main course - jeera alu, dal makhni.

Overall a good place to try eating in an open air environment when the weather is permitting.

Hyderabad Restaurant - Tansen

Location - Neclace Road
Cuisine - Indian (Predominantly North Indian)

Tansen is one of the recent offering from Ohri's Group, which has many other restaurants.

It has one of the finest ambience in Hyderabad. The first impression is that of a royal food serving. The taste and quality of food is good. One has to just make his / her choices wisely. One can try veg platter (except hara bhara kabab, rest all are too good). There are a few interesting dishes when females start discussing about the ingredients like what has been used as the cover of the dish or what has gone in the filling etc. etc.

The service is poor. If one has enough time at disposal, this restaurant makes a good choice. Would rate this one as more than average in terms of pricing.
