Hyderabad is not all about Biryani. On this Food Tour I discovered that Hyderabad also offers a wide variety of kebabs as well. So after the boat ride on the Hussain Sagar Lake, me, @hep.forever & @thesamcam84 decided to check out @sarvi_bakersnrestaurants in Banjara Hills, a prominent 37 years old restaurant just to try out a few of the kebabs they have to offer.

We reached at 2pm & there was already a long que. It took us almost half an hour to get a table. Some groups were even happy with sharing tables. The que along with the awards displayed on the wall definitely tells that this is a place one needs to dine in.

As we entered inside, I suggested that we try out the kebabs & everyone was happy with this decision. Infact @khi_asylrym had gotten me a Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani last night at 11pm from Shah Ghouse & it sure was spicy.

Anyway my main intention to eat here was to try out the Shikhampuri Kebab, Pathar ka Gosht, Boti Kebab & Marag Soup. But I didn't see Marag soup on the menu & today being a Friday the Shikhampuri Kebab got over early as plenty of people ordered after coming back from Namaz.

So we ended ordering a Gosth Yakhni Shorba, Pathar ka Gosht, Awadhi Boti Kebab along with Rumali roti. Later @thesamcam84 ordered a plate of Kakori Kebabs but I was too full to try them so I'm not reviewing them.

Here is my review of the Kebabs at Sarvi Food Court:

Ambience - 4.4

The place is divided into 3 sections, with the tea & snacks section & takeaway section on the ground floor & the restaurant at the 2nd floor. The restaurant was far from being a Food Court. It actually was a proper dine in restaurant with a nice ambience. Only the tapestry did looked like it was showing its age. Service - 4.7 Service was excellent despite the fact that there was still a long que even after 1 hour of us getting a table. The people waiting at our tables were mostly from Bengal & were quick & on their toes their entire time.

Quantity - 4.8 We may have ordered too much but even so the quantity was huge for a single person.

Quality - 4.9

The quality was top notch right from the ingredients used to the method of preparation. No wonder the huge rush.

Taste:

Pathar ka Gosht - 4.8 This is a Nizami dish which is around 200 years old & a favourite of one of the Nizams who loved hunting but when his cook forgot to bring the skewers decided to pound the meat & then cook it on a hot slab of granite. This is an authentic Hyderabadi dish & it did not disappoint. I was expecting it to be thready but it was not. It was soft but not melt in your mouth soft & the masalas were deeply entrenched in the meat. The balance of flavors were exceptional & each bite was heavenly.

Juje Kebab-4.4

This is basically an Indianized version of the popular Irani (Persian) Joojeh chicken kebab. This was a very subtle taste with the most prominent flavor being of the saffron. The chicken was also soft, tender & melt in your mouth but compared to the mutton kebabs on the table, they were kind of boring to me.

Gosht Yakhni Shorba - 5.0

To my surprise this was the best dish that I had. It was a light Shorba (soup) & had subtle flavors but very aromatic. It tasted like a good Yakhni Pulao. It had small half inch cubes of mutton pieces as well. I don't like soup much but this was something that I really loved.

Rumali Roti - 4.5

No complaints on the Rumali Roti.

Got the job done pretty well.

Price - 4.4

Considering the price & the flavors they were very well matched.

Overall-4.67/5.0

Another hit in Hyderabad. I am so happy that I got to experience such wonderful dishes. This was an amazing meal that took us 2 hours to complete. But I almost fainted when I heard a table order Chilly Chicken.

Crisp : Unique Biryani taste and Rawness of ghosh in elegant restaurant

Located on Main Banjara Hills road opposite Care hospital stands Sarvi building with restaurant at front end, takeaway back side and restaurant on 2nd floor. Parking is available most of time around the building but limited.

On second floor is elegant restaurant overlooking the main Banajara Hills road and skyline along hills right on the curve. Special seats for 8 to 10 people are available along the road kine with beatiful art work and light effects.

We ordered Mutton Biryani and Pathar ka ghost. True to heart Sarvi has unique Biryani taste even within the Hydrabadi Biryani Space. Mutton cooked to core, optimimly hot, Biryani masala with perfectly fried crispy onions and mutton fully drenched in masala. A treatise for food lover.

What else to say about Pathar ka Ghost you must check out here. Frankly it's a raw street receipe but pretty well maintained here. The lazeez simply fills you heart with taste and satisfies your thirst for good taste. All this with a speacial green chutney rightly mixed with mint and cream.

Frankly you become a fan of this restaurantand it's...
