House of Waffles - Waffle House- Hyderabad

​​​​




Great place to have some amazing waffles. They not only serve sweet waffles but also have some vegetable options. Waffles are Large and has the perfect amount of crunch on the surface. The Blueberry topping used are of higher quality as compared ​​to other places that seem to use some blueberry jam. The Strawberry waffles use fresh fruits and loaded with strawberries, and is the best one with Chocolate Waffles and Chocolate chip Waffles you can never go wrong with chocolate.Hands down the best waffle place in town.It's cozy place in the right area. The street across this place is quite and so it is inside the restaurant. Seating is very comfortable. It's a perfect place in the area if you want to spend a peaceful break over a coffee or may be some waffles. I liked the ambience. It's urban. Menu is very interesting. If you happen to visit this place, don't order any regular stuff like sandwiches or quesadillas but go for waffles. You'll love it. Recommend having with double scoop of ice cream. Relaxed seating and ambience. A bit slow service.

Amazing food at Raghvendra-Hydreabad





Its one of the famous places in  Ayyapa Society. This one is kind of regular spot for dine in or home delivery. The food, the cleanliness, and the price are significant and totally worth the value paid for food items. One can visit this place for breakfast, lunch or dinner, even anytime snacks. Here you will be served with yummy food, they have any kind of varieties of food available. The ambience is also a very cool and decent place for all. One can visit with their family and friends. Here they also will provide free wi-fi to their customers they have only vegetarian food available.  The staff here is also very nice and supporting. The place would be crowded and at weekends getting the table will be the most difficult task, serving time is fast and the quantity which is served is also very good. Liked the masala dosa, set dosa, paneer chilly, fried rice and sambhar idli. Preferred this place because of wanting a pure vegetarian restaurant pocket-friendly prices and good hygiene, although the quantity more for one person meal. Overall a good place to have a decent meal without getting a hole in the pocket.

Kitchen which serves from Karachi - Karachi Kitchen and Grill










It's a cozy place.  Food is good yet, the quantity was way much then I expected and couldn't finish it. Though I loved the ambience and the environment was quite pleasant. The songs played in the backdrop were a good list and were perfect for either family or friends day out. In total loved the place and yes, would definitely suggest people go. The bakery is attached to the restaurant. It has good views. There is a Chinese stall outside where you can be ordered. And also a fruit stall for fresh fruit juices.Little expensive though. The most important thing is the bakery item purchased is not allowed to eat inside, which I found little weird compared to many others in the trade. I can say good but well not the best. For a quick bite, you can visit the place. The food was great but the service is as bad as it can get, the staff didn't bother coming and taking the order or even ask about what water customer prefer. Later the food came good waiting. Overall it’s an average place and okay food.

A questionnaire with Shoma Abhyankar



So this month featuring blogger friend " Shoma Abhyankar'


Can you tell us a little about yourself? Your profession and your hobbies!!

I am an architect by qualification but turned to writing. Based in Pune, I now contribute articles to newspapers, travel magazines and web portals. Among other hobbies are painting and sketching.

1.      How did you first get involved in with writing, are you an imaginative person?

I started writing poetry as a teenager and when three of my poems were published in Hitavada English newspaper of Nagpur, I fell in love. I started a blog much later though to get into regular writing and since last two and half years have been freelancing.

2.      What do you find most challenging about your writing?

I feel the need to expand my writing to other genres and fiction writing still eludes me.

3.      What do you do when you are not writing?

I like to paint, draw, read and at times when enthusiasm peaks, I try some new recipe.

4.      Where do you see yourself in the next 6 months, and 5 years down the road?

I am hopeful of consolidating my writing scene and come up with a concrete story idea for a book.

5.      How do you keep coming up with material/content for your story?

I write travel, culture and food stories mostly and every time I travel, I try finding stories in my interaction with people.

6.      Any specific tips you have for new writers who want to make it big in the world of published books?

I am still finding my own space. The learning never ends I think. So keeping a focus on writing is best advice.

7.      What’s the best thing a writer can give to his readers?

A vivid visual through their words which would help the reader to travel, taste and imagine through words and live the excitement.

8.      A lot of people are interested in writing for the money earning potential. What are some tips for people interesting in making money from writing? What are some realistic expectations in regards to what can be made?

Writing in any language should be free of grammatical errors, first and foremost. It should be simpler to understand. Too many big words and long complex sentences lose the attention of the reader. To start earning money from writing, practice writing every day and keep pitching ideas to various publications. As far as my experience goes, it takes quite some time to reach a certain level where making money from writing seems easier. Freelancing is not enough to pay your bills.

9.      What motivates you most in life?

The pride that shows in eyes of my parents, husband and daughter when my story is published is the biggest motivation.

10.  The majority of the readers tend to take sides due to religion and such other considerations.

I have stayed clear of commenting on religion since it hurts sentiments of various people. Also, I don’t consider myself an authority on religious contexts.

11.  What is the story behind the name of your book?

Not yet

12.  What are your views on increasing plagiarism?

Sad...creative work is a work of labour and passion. Those who plagiarise are not only disrespecting their own ability but cheating the original writers of their credit. There should be stricter means to stop plagiarism.
