Eat Street

Description: Eat Street is a food court sitting on one of the banks of the hussain sagar lake, Hyderabad. The other side being Tank Bund. It's a spacious place with room for people along the banks of the hussain sagar as well as on the roof. Even with the large seating capactiy, it's very hard to find seats here on a weekend. Such is it's popularity. Even so it's very clean and well maintained. This is how the entrance looks. These pictures were taken by Sumeet. The jobless pics are mine. click image for better color Click here for another view, of the inside, under the roof. Eat Street has the following food counters: A Minverva Coffee Shoppe: Serves south indian tiffins like dosa's, idli's etc. They also serve some hot(and fresh) jalebi's. No maincourse items though. Nothing like andhra meals or anything. Chaat Corner: I love the Dahi poori here. The other chaat's are good too, I hear. I've tried the Samosa Ragada and Dahi Poori on many occasions. I have here a picture of Jalebi's and Dahi Papdi(or something). In the bottom left, you see Chicken Manchurian style. Not very pricey at 65 rupees. The one time I tried it, it had a peppery taste to it. Notice the wooden plate on which the dahi-chaat is served on? Don't forget the pomegranate seeds. This is half the spread at the chaat counter.

It has set chinese meal package's in both veg and non-veg and offers a choice of veg fried rice/veg noodles with a curry, dry item/salad. Softdrinks are avaliable at all the counters btw. Here's an example. That's veg fried rice, a chicken curry and a salad. The other plate is a chicken dry item. Wah! Hyderabad: This is the biryani/mughlai counter. My friends vouch for me when I say that the veggie biryani is good here. The chicken biryani is ok-okish but the mutton biryani rocks! One can also get combo's meals with dishes like afghani chicken and naan/roti. Set meals are avaliable in a decent variety. Separate starters/dry items are also avaliable. Good stuff, trustable. Here's a pic of the biryani: I'm sorry for the half eaten cheese garlic bread piece in the right side. Click to take a look at the menu in the background. Icecream Shack: Softies, cones and cups. Various flavours. I've tried Honey-Raisin, Blackcurrant, Apricot, etc. Not pricey at all. And yet, has quite a variety. Here's a pic of pistachio and vanilla-raspberry. Cafe Coffee Day: Like any other Coffee Day. Just Fries: Serves different kinds of french fries. They also serve Moutain dew. Corn Club: All veggie joint. Serves excellent baked corn with cheese and babycorn french fries. Pizza Hut: Although this joint doesn't have ALL the items shown on a regular Pizza Hut menu, it is decent. They serve only small pizza's and have very little variety i.e. 2-3 in each variety with Cheese Garlic Bread. Extra's: Shwarma Rolls: Didn't taste very good the last time I tried it. But it looked rather nice. Here's a pic. Cup corn: Three kinds; Butter, Pepper or Masala. 25 rs a cup. Steamed corn in a cup. I love it. Chocolate Hut: Has a vareity of chocolates to try out. Tibb's Frankie^TM Stand: The original Bombay Frankie^TM in Hyderabad. Has Chicken Tikka, Tawa Chicken, Mutton and Chicken Chettinad frankies in the non-veg and Paneer, Veggie etc frankies too. Also offers grilled sandwiches. Max price of 30 rs. Not particularly filling, but very nice. The good part about this place is that it's always expanding. They're planning to add more stalls to it. FYI, There is a loo present after the kid's playground. Also, one can take the barge or the speedboat and take a tour of the lake. The landing is right off the main eating place. All in all, I'd brand this as a family place. It's timings are: 11:30 am to 10:30 pm.
