New Bombay Pan Mahal

A pan shop that's mostly peopled by women and children obviously has a very successful business on the side. Bombay Pan Mahal stocks fancy imported cigars and chocolates, but most of its customers come here for the humble and very desi ice-gola. And don't be put off by their most popular offering - the oddly colored Rangeela is the best of its kind in Hyderabad.

A combo of around five flavors including pineapple, khus, rose, orange and kala khatta, the Rangeela is what you might call a real refresher. Other hot flavors are the regular Kala Khatta - ask for extra masala, it's smashing that way - and Orange.

Bombay Pan Mahal is also worth a visit for its Fruit Cocktail and Dry-Fruits Special. The Chickoo and Strawberry milkshakes are also quite good. There's not much of a seating arrangement as most people prefer to eat in their vehicles. So the next time you visit Four Seasons for their special Lebanese cuisine, or just happen to be on your way back to town, stop by for the slurp of many colors.
