Went to Trishna yesterday. Ordered Hyd Dal(Excellent) but only got 4 half sml katoris from it. The rawas in pepper was awesome but disssapinted with the prawns koliwada, they were like popcorn. Crab is always great but overpriced. we asked for it de-shelled and it was 150gms of meat for Rs 1000. Lastly, they charge a 10% service charge and have a tip part in the credit card slip also. I feel that is unfair and they should inform the client. Hardly any resturants charge SC.

Been going to trishna for years, do not think ever had to look at the menu after the first couple of times. However this was different, with a couple of veggies accompanying us.
Great crispy veg; paneer stuff, pindi chole, hyderabadi daal with piping hot tandoori rotis....
On the Non veg front, everything that has been said & more

I realize that it sounds like anathema to go to Trishna and eat only the vegetarian food (especially in light of the fact that I am usually a die-hard sea food fanatic!), but that is exactly what I did for lunch today.
I was by myself so did not want to order a multiple dishes for fear that (a) I would not be able to finish them or, (b) if I DID finish them, I would be in a food coma for the remainder of the day which would render me unable to go back to work.
I decided to keep it simple and order a portion of the Hyderabadi Daal and a Butter-Garlic Naan. Both items were superlative!
I cannot say for sure, but I'd be willing to wager cold cash that even the daal they make in Hyderabad itself is not as good as Trishna's version of it. Add to this a moist, warm and thoroughly flavorful butter-garlic naan and you have yourself a great lunch.
In addition to the GREAT food, the service at Trishna is always friendly, prompt and curteuos - all of which go a long way in creating customer loyalty (God knows I keep going back!!).
On the price front, Trishna tends to be a little on the high side (which is why it only earned 4 stars from me). For my simple lunch, I ended up paying 250 bucks. This figure is not really high per se, but if one bears in mind that all I got was daal, naan and a soda-pop it seems a bit pricey.
Either way, on the balance, Trishna deserves (and gets) 2 whole-hearted thumbs up from me.

I just went across for lunch this afternoon and as usual was delighted with the food and service. It is really the ideal place for a quick delicious meal - always!
We had the Prawn Koliwada, Butter Garlic Squid, Daal Hyderabadi and roti. Light, yummie and moderately expensive. Even after treating ourselves to a couple of large Kingfisher beers, the bill came to about Rs.300 per head - not so bad for what you get!
If you haven't been there, you MUST (even if you are not a seafood fan)!
