Chutney's Restaurant Banjara Hills Hyderabad Review
The prices of some of the dishes at Chutney's is Somewhat like Murugan’s in Chennai,  but the prices are way steeper. Service is smiling and impeccable. Seating pretty uncomfortable, as it is difficult to stretch legs due to table having a centre pedestal.

Pongal, which is the South version of the Maharashtrian phodni bhaat, but much heavier on the stomach. Comes with its own sambar plus all dishes have the 4 chutney accompaniments; the best was the basic white coconut with a slightly sweet taste.
