Empire Hotel, Church Street

My wife and kids thought it would be a nice idea after a movie to go to a buffet that keeps getting published on the enet cable channel at Rs 119 per plate and at half cost for kids. They took Rs 360 initially!

First of all, with due respect the quality expected was far below!

They are giving a Coke to force your to feel hot ( khara ) not gobble many plates! Also they dont allow you to use a fresh plate. It has to be the same plate and they dont even clean the table till you get up. Water is charged at Rs 17 per litre!

Along with the plate they serve, 2 pieces of Chicken Kebabs. ( Complimentary? )

The starter was Appalam and one Chicken fried item, with lots of spice. My kids were tearing eating them... Initially they had Chicken Kebabs, then it changed to Chilly Chicken, and we were about to leave, they were filling in Chicken 65. All looked same!

The items are Ghee rice, Plain rice and Hyderabadi Biriyani. ( shame on the chef! )

Unbreakable Chappathis. At time they serve Naan or rotis, I am told.

Three Chicken dishes with little or no chicken - Butter Chicken, Chicken Masala and Chicken Hyderabadi ( later they changed the name plate to Chicken Kuruma ).

The desert free of cost is Kheer. But you can pay Rs 25 to get Gulab Jamoon with icecream. They also service Arabian Grape Jice at buy one get one free offer @ Rs 20, which was totally lousy!

Nothing notable for veggies, except for Sambar, Rasam and some koottu.

So vegetarians stay away, and Non vegetarians, if you are famished for a lousy meal, go there!
