Food courts in Hyderabad

He likes Chinese, she is a dosa loyalist and the kid threatens to raise hell if he doesn’t get his papdi chaat platter right away. Solution: foodcourts! And Hyderabad has them in plenty.

Eat Street at Necklace Road couldn’t have had a better name. Think of a popular repast (refrain from conjuring up out-of-the-box names for a while) and one or the other restaurant here is sure to have it. Idli and pav bhaji compete with biriyani and kathi roll: pizza shops and ice-cream parlours stand cheek by jowl with Chinese and Indian restaurants. An alfresco dining area, with a view of the Hussain Sagar Lake thrown in, completes the experience.

The hungry hordes at Ginger Court (Madhapur) is a sure proof of the pudding, er food. Buffet lunches (Indian, Continental, Oriental), a la carte dum pukht dishes, live kitchen at the rooftop, and a classic lounge bar will spoil you with choices. Indulge Food Court at the Cyber Pearl Building, Hi Tech City, is another place you can stop by.
