1. Lé Vantage Cafe Bar Lé Vantage  is definitely lit during the nights, but we've spent quite a few afternoons here to vouch for the fact that it's better during the quiet, balmy noon. The vibe of the indoor seating is Mediterranean, and the top floor of the cafe-plus-bar has an amazing ambience complete with industrial chandeliers and neon signs in French. The music is usually pleasant at noon and perfect for conversations over wine or coffee. Price : INR 2,000 for two (approx.)  Timings : 11 AM to 12 AM 2. Cafe Bahar Drive past Cafe Bahar on the Basheerbagh road and you'll smell the headiest aroma of Dum Biryani and Irani Chai beckoning you to step inside. Started by a Persian settler who moved to Hyderabad from Mumbai, Cafe Bahar  has been a steady favourite for Biryani for scores of Hyderabadis. Get the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani here, and you'll be impressed with the portion and meat quantity. The place is almost always crowded with waiting queues, so be ready to wait ...

Punjabi's take their food quite seriously! After hearing so much about the legendary Amritsari kulchas, heavenly Lassi and delicious Dal Makhani, I was so excited for my trip to the  FOOD CAPITAL of India AMRITSAR ! 1 . Kesar Da Dhaba Looking for authentic Amritsari food, go no further! Kesar da Dhaba is THE PLACE to have some delicious, finger licking Punjabi food! We had ordered Paratha Thali which came with Chur Chur Lacha paratha, Maah di dal, palak paneer, Kadhai paneer, raita and salad . Every dish was cooked in pure ghee and was so delicious☺.
