A restaurant in Hyderabad has thrown a challenge to foodies in the city -- anyone who can finish eating its 'Baahubali Thali' within 30 minutes will receive a cash prize of Rs 1 lakh.
The jumbo thali being offered by the 'Naidu Gari Kunda Biryani' a popular restaurant chain has over 30 items, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.
"The Bahubali thali is very famous here. We arrange 30 items in the thali comprising vegetarian and non-vegetarian starters, non-vegetarian biryani, fried rice and cool drinks. The idea behind this thali is there are few people who like particular items and there are few people who want to taste every item in the restaurant," said Keerthi, a working partner of the restaurant.
The cost of one thali is estimated at Rs 1,800.
While over 3,000 customers have tried the challenge in the newly opened Kukatpally Housing Board Colony (KPHB) branch only two of them have won the cash prize of 1 lakh each.
"The main branch is in Vijaywada and the KPHB branch is very new. The main item we serve here is Pot biryani. We also have Joint biryani and lollipop biryani which is very rare. There are many regular customers here in KPHB branch," she added.
The restaurant has over eight outlets in Andhra Pradesh and the KPHB outlet is the first in Telangana. The next branches are going to be opened in Gachibowli, Madhapur and Dilsukhnagar, the working partner said.
