Kholani's - Banjara Hills

Kholani's has always been one of the popular restaurants in the city since 1996. Their main branch is located in Old city. They also opened their branch in Banjara Hills and since it is close by for me I decided to go and pay it a visit.

Kholani's at Banjara Hills is located on a huge villa that looks absolutely gorgeous. We decided to dine on the ground floor which was lit up with huge chandeliers.

We started off with the Haleem. This was good and prepared well.

We then had the Crispy Baby Corn. The corn was fresh and the batter was crispy.

The next item that we had was the Reshmi Kebab.

We then tried the Crispy Honey Fried Gobi. I must say this was really delicious and to make this as a vegetarian dish was a fantastic idea.

The next was a fish item which was based in mustard sauce.

The next dish was the butter chicken. Although the gravy was thick I felt the food had too much color.

The next item was the butter paneer. Again, the gravy was the same as that of the butter chicken.

The next item was the roasted prawns. I felt this was just a bit too dry.

We then tried the Chicken Biryani. Again, the flavors could definitely have been worked on better.

For desserts we started off with the Gulab Jamun.

The last item was kheer. This was made really well and tasted delicious. Overall: Kholani's was a huge name back when it started but in the current space they really need to up their game for a place like Banjara Hills. A good place for a family dine in.
