This is situated just opposite Beef market. So, expect some stinking smell around. Been here several times kabab, methi chicken, pepper chicken, biryani are excellent. Have also tried Hyderabadi haleem.
Downstairs stinks a lot. There is family friendly atmosphere upstairs. Prices are very nominal. No alcohol and no beef.
