Golden Palace Restaurant, Gudimalkapur

"We have been serving lip-smacking haleem every year during Ramzan for the past 13 years. All our customers love to visit here and have haleem. Customers come all the way from Gachibowli, Banjara Hills and Hi-Tec City to have haleem here. It's the love of our customers that motivates us to work hard and bring quality food for them and they have also shown their immense love to us for which we are very thankful," informed Parimal Raj, owner, Golden Palace Restaurant.

P Lakshmaiah, a customer, spoke of the place thus: "I have been coming here for almost nine years to have biryani. But I specially visit for the haleem during Ramzan. When you come here to eat you end up having 2, 3 plates instead of one.

My whole family loves their haleem and always takes haleem from here only." Somraj, another customer, also lauds the place: "I cannot believe that it has been nearly 10 years since I started frequenting this place. I come here for biryani during rest of the year. This place has a very unique and authentic flavor, be it haleem or biryani. Each delicacy is best in taste there is no doubt about that."

Their hotel gained a lot of attention in very less time. My family too loves the haleem here." Abrar Ahmed, another customer, shared: "I come here every day after iftar to have haleem as it is the best food to have after roza. It gives you instant energy."

"Way back in 1952, my grandfather started this. Haleem was new to the locals as very few restaurants served it. Over the years our customers have shown immense love for our haleem and made us so popular in the twin cities," said a beaming Ali Raza Jowkar, the owner Cafe 555. Ravi Kumar, a customer, vouched for quality and taste: " The craze from the crowd for cafe 555 is the same as it was years back when I used to come here with my father.

The taste somewhere has upgraded but the ambiance and the vibe is still same as it was years back," he said. John, another customer, said, "I come here more often with my family to have haleem. The place is quite active and you see a lot of crowds till late night, which shows the popularity of this place."

Riyan Hotel, Langer House

"This is our first year of serving Haleem. Till now the response from our customers has been positive which has motivated us to work even harder and come up with better service. We saw the concept at Shah Ghouse in Old City and started serving haleem here," said Mohd Abdul Kaleem, the owner of Riyan Hotel, Langer House. Said Rizwan, a customer, "My friend suggested this place.

The haleem here is really very tasty and has a unique flavor. The place is also very clean." Shahnawaz, another customer, said, "Though the place is new, the taste and the service is very better. The taste is authentic and one can smell the aroma before eating it. That shows the quality of ingredients used and the service is top notch. No doubt this place will soon create an identity of its own."
