Abids

Run by a Kannadigaa family, this one takes the cream for the *best* pani puri they serve. Though it is a roadside joint, things are very clean and covered. Rs. 5 for a plate of pani puri (8 numbers.) The pani has a good lot Pudina (mint) in it - which makes it kinda authentic. Bhel comes for Rs. 10, and reminds me of Chowpatty. :) Other chaat stuff is also served, but I haven't had it. Generally I have somewhere around 25 pani puris' in one go - which leaves no space in my stomach for anything else. :) The husband and wife are very gentle and kind - you feel very nice while eating stuff here.

Oh, and on the RHS of this pani-puri stall, is a Farsaan shop (for those who are wondering where to get Farsaan in Hyderabad.) Also, one auntie makes some excellent mutton-kheemaa samosas' some 10 feet away from this stall. They are good in taste, say my friends'.

The name of the restaurant suggests' the menu itself. Some of the highlights -
* Dinner of jowar roti (jwarichi bhaakri) and pithlaa.
* Jowar rotis' are thin, and unlimited - they are served garmaa garam.
* Salad consists of raw methi, cucumber, onions, and beet root.
* At the end a banana and one paan is served in a tokri (basket.)
* Rs. 60 for the unlimited jowar bhakri dinner. Yes, rice, two subjis', sambar et. al. is served too. :)
* Very friendly service, guys know Marathi too.
* Very clean and simple ambience.
* Food has good VFM, and is very nourishous.

My favorite weekend place for dinner. Highly recommended.
