Chaitanya - The Family Dine is located on the first floor of Ratnadeep at Kondapur, incase you aren't able to spot it. We went there for dinner on a Saturday evening. They have both buffet options as well as a-la-carte on their menu. Once we were seated we were offered the welcome drinks. The first one was a milk based strawberry drink.
The next welcome drink was a strawberry based cocktail. I preferred the former to the latter.
We also ordered Smirnoff with Orange Juice.
The first started for the day was Crispy Corn which was made well.
The next was the Kurkure Cheese Roll. This was a new item that they are yet to introduce. The outer coating was crispy while inside it was cheesy which made this dish very flavorful.
Next up was the Fish Fry. The portions were decent and there were not too many spices which enhanced the flavor of the fish.
We also ordered another mocktail in the meanwhile.
I also ordered the Monster - while is a vodka, strawberry and lemon based cocktail. This is also mildly spicy and comes with a green chilli.
They also have a special cocktail - called Golden Hue due to the color of the drink - it is a beer based cocktail.
The next started was the spicy chicken wings. They had the perfect amount of spices and tasted absolutely finger licking good.
The next item was the Patiala tangri kebab stuffed with Keema. Although I have had many variants of Tangri Kebab this was the first time I had it with the stuffing and the keema really went well with the Tangri kebab.
The next dish was the Chef's Chinese Paneer. The coating was crispy while the paneer inside was soft. The spices were similar to that of the Spicy chicken wings.
We then started off with the main course. The first dish was the Mutton Roganjosh.
Next up was the Methi Murg. The chicken was soft and the methi was blended with the curry really well.
We then tried the Veg Chatpata which was similar to a homemade vegetable curry.
The Dal Makhani was then served in a cute steel balti. This was one of the best Dal Makhanis that I have ever had - with the perfect amount of spices and butter while the Dal was cooked amazingly well.
Now it was time for the Biryanis. The first one was Chaitanya special Lollipop biryani. The Lollipops were really spicy but if you mixed the masala with their mild Biryani then it had a great taste.
The next one was the Minister Biryani that came wrapped in a thin egg omlette and garnished with cashews and crispy fried onions.
The final Biryani was the Mutton Pot Biryani. Although the Biryani was mildly spiced the mutton was really soft and good to taste.
We also ordered a vodka and tequila based cocktail that was lighted up with fire when served.
We also ordered the fire shot which you had to gulp down in one go while the fire still burnt.
We then tasted their sambar rice. This was again one of the best sambar rices I have ever had and was filled with ghee and cashews.
The curd rice was the palate cleanser and garnished really well with bananas, pomegranate and fruits.
Now that we had a hearty meal, it was time for desserts. The first dessert was the Dry Fruit pudding.
We finished it off with the Golden Kheer which was really good, we were told it apparently was prepared with onions.
Overall: This place has an amazing range of cuisines - from Chinese to Indian food. The quality of the food is really great and you have the option to choose between a-la-carte and buffet. So definitely a must visit.
