Hyderabad restaurant - Rayalseema Ruchulu, Jubilee Hills

Rayalseema ruchulu is one of the oldest authentic hyderabadi restaurant in the town.. they have recenlty opened a shop in jubilee hills.. closer to me.. I had thought of visiting their khairtabad branch for quite some time.. then one of my good friend told that the ambience is not very appealing..

so finally.. when the jubilee hills outlet got open.. I thought of finally trying it..

would like to put a caveat before I start my list of negative comments... that i am pure vegetarian.. it may be a delight for non-veggies...but for veggies like me.. it was a nightware.. did not like anything but for ambience.. which I though was smart work.. have been to 3-4 more so called authentic hyderabadi outlets.. but this one fared almost at the bottom.. I opted for thali. (this is was it is known for).. that turn out to be disaster.. chapati was so dry that one can make powder out of it.. it was a very ordinary food.. interestingly the most horrible looking item (mix of rice with some powder) was the saving grace..

However,, now I would like to visit their first outlet (Khairtabad one).. as can't discount the most famous restaurant like this..

Kanpur hotel - Royal Cliff

Finally, Kanpur has got a hotel with 3-4 star standards, neat and clean and last but not the least serves good food.

It is located in the heart of the city - swaroop nagar.. so travelling to any part of the city is not a pain .. (but for the area you want to travel should have a way and a road on it)..

From my previous experience in Kanpur, this was really beating my expectations.. the hotel is only 6 months old.. so one has to wait and see will they be able to maintain similar standards..

The food is good.. it gives proper north indian feeling.. i tried a different dish called subji lababdar.. found it to be quite good.. other normal stuff (dal, paneer) are upto the satisfaction level..

Hyderabad restaurant - Blue Fox, Banjara Hills

Blue fox has 5-6 outlets in Hyderabad. I first visited the restaurant when I was not writing blogs so waited for another visit so that memories are afresh.

The second visit was much below expectation. I guess I liked it in my first visit because of the sitting arrangement. They have a different setting for a group more than 5-6, this time we were only 4.

Thought, the restaurant has a good ambience - you keep on wondering which next colour the ceiling lights will throw.. but I was disappointed with the food.

Right from starters to main course, there was not a single item where we could say .. wow.. and when one looks at the bill.. he keeps on wondering is it really worth?
