Royal Prince Hotel Restaurant

- Visited here with friends group & had beaf seek kebab, paya soup, beaf 65, and beaf briyani. All are good in taste. - This place is usually crowded. So have to wait for seating. But once we got seating foods will be served ASAP. Note: Bangalore style briyani is very different from Chennai briyani. It is like a pulaw with meat. It is very shuttle and comfortable for all age groups.

The starters here are simply to die for. Reached with incredible hunger, ordered 5 starters As soon as the order was placed, marinated phal and seekh were grilled for me, by the time I settled down at the table, hot steaming food arrived. Perfection! Soul satisfied.

Visited this places recently, great food beef sheek and pepper dry, Briyani was good. Nice ambience. Late service was of concern otherwise nice place for family too.

Super Paya soup and behaviour of staff good, fresh food.

Delectable and different from the mass market is how I'd headline the experience at Hotel Prince. Located on HKP Road, accessed from the front of Russell Market,( or by turning into Cockburn road from St John's, right adjacent AsstComm office, Bangalore City police) it is a two storey place jostling for visibility with a number of similar restaurants and signages located in a line. The old man who owns the place, Saleem Malik, sits on a raised counter next to the cashier. The ground floor entrance is cluttered with tables with huge containers in them and a showcase with cooked items you can select that sets your juices flowing in expectation. They have an expansive area above that is cooler but gets smoke wending its way from the last moment grilling/ heating at the ground floor. The main cooking is done elsewhere. Thankfully, a new large extension hall beyond the entrance has been carved out, that has "clean"(see below) surrounds and a washroom. The food! Ah. There are dishes of beef, chicken, patridge (of the "bolo kitney titar" fame) and prawns and one feels spoilt for choice. We normally try out specialities. Beef Paya is one we invariably take away. And opt to dine in, to relish the Brain fry, beef chops, pathar gosht(meat cooked on a massive stone slab upon an open log fire), beef liver, chilly beef, beef Schezwan. Excellent Sulaimani tea in tiny paper cups are brought in from Savera Tea centre, across the road. We have yet to have adequate spare capacity after our binge eating to try the huge selection of other items. Beef biryani is a special here but we've yet to reach it and envy the ruminants with four stomachs. Every dish is scrumptiously different and the one star - if there was an only one selected from the many- would be the brain fry. Unbetterable, exceptional, and goes great with their Irani naan. Star 1.001 would be beef chops. Star 1.002 would be the beef liver. The place is pocket friendly too and the staff ever ready to suggest dishes. For the location and general unkempt places around, hygiene is a- okay, excepting for the squeamish and people with OCD - the latter better keep away thank you. There are flexible dividers pulled into place for couples needing privacy, at both ends of the hall. We spent Rs400 on three plates of heavenly preparation and six cups of Sulaimani tea during the Ramzan roza feast! Are we going back, u ask? You bet! And take away the Paya. Again!! Thank you and Alhamdulillah to Mr. Malik for the foodie in him!
