Yet another place in Cafe-town of Hyderabad, Sainikpuri. Found the placed listed on Zomato Gold for 1+1 on food.

Conti differed from other cafes, in that it has a quirky name, and a really shady ambience. Maybe the place was dead, or the lights are set up that way, intended to be dark and calm. Upon entering, it smelled fishy, both literally and figuratively. 💡

For some reason, at 7pm on a Wednesday evening, only Pizzas were available. 🕖

The excitement level and taste, satisfaction graph was one with a very negative descent. To begin with, the Garden Fresh and BBQ chicken pizzas tasted great. Toko Chicken was a chicken pizza with a different sauce base. Paneer BBQ was a cheese-on-cheese affair. 🍕🧀

A fresh, hand kneaded dough went on to provide a crisp base for a cheese overloaded pizza. The toppings (main topping - paneer or chicken) were too much, and the lack of veggies was felt. There was a strong taste of wheat flour in the not so fluffy base (crispy, but fat and dry at places). Pizza also needed more sauce to cut out the dry feeling. Flavor was basically missing from all pizzas. 😕

Service was alright, chef Vamsi was making everything from scratch, while also attending to the tables and performing the roles of restaurant staff all by himself. Understaffed the restaurant was. 👎🏻

What attracted us to this place was the amazing looking pictures, burgers and sandwiches presented in such a fine manner. Unfortunately they weren't available, hope to try them out later. 👍🏻

Here's my overall SCORE:
Food - 3.5/5 (pizzas need improvement)❗
Ambience - 4.5/5 🌟
Service - 3.5/5
VFM - 5/5 (paid 500rs for 4 12" pizzas, great deal!) 🌟

Very nice place for a leisurely dinner. The food is amazing and our plates are empty in couple of minutes after the order being served. I literally forgot to click while eating
