Hype can be a bad thing. Too much and I get turned off about going there. Chutney's is a classic case till today. The waiting hall was always packed, I had never felt like going there. The food had looked mundane from outside peering into its glass enclosure. Its a South Indian cuisine restaurant in the mall with staid ambience full of the usual & boring families.
Well don't judge a book by its hype, this place is really good, which makes the people in the waiting hall come here again and again; like I said in my previous Hyderabad blogs, food in this city is taken seriously. The quality and output is more often proportional to the price in this city.
Obviously the place has a lot of Chutney's on offer. There were 6 of them on the table, each of which were unique and wonderful were the cynosure of our meal; everything that we had were just a means to getting the Chutneys to our stomach's end. The Guntur idly -idlis patted with ghee and dusted with yummy chutney and slightly toasted was really good, didnt know this variation of eating idlis and its something I will go back for. Dosa, mini Uttappams were great.
Special mention was the rassam. Potent, tasty and a great upper for the meal, the Rassam was refreshing. Buttermilk was presented in milkshake type glasses, pretty imaginative and damn tasty. The Biryani was authentic Hyderabad, meaning I didnt like it much cause of my inclination to the more spicy Bangalore version. Honorary mention, the Jeera rice and Dal tadka were decent.

Desserts - Gulab Jamoon - really great and the local Khubani ka meetha - rich, very sweet and perhaps excessive.
There's a sale going at the Mall, have to take a guntur idli break,
