We got here around 9am and we weren't really sure what to get, whom to ask but everyone who worked at the carts were so so helpful, not only did they help us out with what to order but explained the different dishes and we had the best breakfast in hyd here. Starting off with their ghee karam idli which was doused in generous amounts of chutney, absolute best thing we had! Soft idlis, savoury delicious chutney and that ghee + karam combination, incredible. Next we had their cheese masala karam dosa, again delicious. Try it without the cheese but nonetheless delicious and absolute value for money.
Ram Ki Bandi in Afzal Gunj, Hyderabad, is one of the most iconic breakfast spots in the city and is known as the original and most famous branch. With a history of several decades, this humble bandi has earned legendary status for its unique dosas and loyal fan following. They serve a wide variety of dosas, idly, and other South Indian items, each prepared with rich toppings and bold flavors that set them apart from regular tiffin centers. The place is always crowded, especially in the mornings, and there are very limited chairs available, so it’s best to stand and enjoy your food. After our morning ride to Charminar, my cousin and I stopped here for breakfast. We tried their Schezwan dosa and paneer dosa, and both were absolutely mind-blowing and delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced and filling. Our total bill came to just ₹210, making it extremely affordable and satisfying. A must-visit spot in Hyderabad.
31st October 2025 Visited Ram Ki Bandi, Nampally, and had a really good experience! Taste-wise everything was impressive — the Cheese Dosa was rich and creamy, the idly was soft and fluffy, and the Pizza Dosa had a nice, flavorful twist. The only thing is that the Pizza Dosa felt slightly overpriced compared to the other items. The place does get crowded, but the service is quick and the staff is friendly. Overall, a solid spot for a delicious breakfast in Hyderabad.” We tried the following items 1. Cheese Dosa 10/10 2. Pizza Dosa 8/10 3. Idly 10/10 Pizza Dosa is priced at 160 Rupees.
