10 Downing Street

We call it 10D!

From the name to the furniture to the entire atmosphere is very English. One of the most happening places at Hyderabad.

Best thing about 10D is over the years it has earned a loyal crowd. It is cozy and feels like second home. They give you a very good customized experience.

I got introduced to 10D by one of my friends during college, 2005. I still remember my first reaction was its gonna be an expensive affair buddy. But, to my surprise they offer world's most inexpensive pub-lunch with Indian, European and Chinese options at unbelievable prices and which includes a complementary glass of beer and bowl of ice-cream; all this for just Rs. 110, 2005. Now after 7 years I guess it has moved to Rs. 175 only.

That was the first time, I fell in love with chicken lasagne and didn't know that for next all these years this will become a major reason for me to visit 10D again and again. Guys, they serve the most yummiest chicken lasagne along with 2 slice of garlic bread.

There Indian and Chinese menu is equally good, of-late I have discovered peace in Kung-Pao chicken-pasta, its very different from the usual other pastas. 10D will also surprise you with their awesome Indian dishes, I love the combi, zeera-fried-rice and dal-makhni. Crispy baby corn, stuffed mushrooms, cheese balls, veg and chicken manchurian goes very well with most of the drinks.

Once the dance floor is on the atmosphere is electrifying; they arrange for some of the best parties in the town and their karaoke nights are just out-of-this-world.

Their couches are very famous and when you don't get one it actually disappoints you. I think its high time they should move to a bigger place, may be double the size of the current place as its becoming difficult to hold the crowd and it is directly affecting their service.

Lastly, on 12-Feb-2010, this is where for the first and only time I got totally sloshed and friends had to carry me out.

A sweet 8 on 10 for our dear 10D.
