Kukatpally Chutneys!!..No not again please

Two days back i visited new Chutneys restaurant inaugurated right in the building of Kalyana Kanchi Showroom beside viswanath theatre at JNTU X Roads in Kukatpally.

Chutneys is a chain of restaurants in Banajara hills, Himayathnagar, Secunderabad and now in Kukatpally. I personally am a fond of Chutneys for its speciality in varieties of chutneys served and healthy & wide range of menu. Being a Idly fan, i was tempted to visit the new restaurant in view of huge reputation Chutneys gained though its wee bit expensive.

All the previous tastes and reputation Chutneys gained faded away in a flash. The food was crap and also the service was very late. I took my father to Chutneys for the first time giving him an boasted up description of sumptuous meal i had in other branches. But this experience didn't even left a impression, good immpression is far away, for a second visit. Disappointing!
We ordered Mango Uthappam, Guntur Idli, Babai Hotel Idli, Paneer Tikka Dosa. Well idli was at its best. Dosa & Mango Uthappam is just OK as normal as road side stall. Strange things is, generally Chutneys is special for serving different types of finger licking chutneys, but i wondered when just 5 types of chutneys served in this branch. When enquired about other varities of chutneys, the over humbled waiter replied, "Idhar tho bas yeh hi miltha hain", i said "sirf aaaj key liye nahin hain?", "No sir, is branch mein nahin miltha". Crap!

I don't understand why people ruin their own well established reputation gained over years of work with such a careless treatment & decisions. While other branches (though i visited only 2 of them) serves such a delicious food, i wonder for the reason of such a lame service at this branch.

My ratings,

Ambience - 8/10
Service - 7/10
Food - 5/10
Dinner for 3 - Rs.455
Value for money - 4/10
