  ‘Peiskos’ is a norwegian word that describes the feelings one gets as they sit in front of a fire enjoying its warmth. True to its name, located in the cross roads of East Marredpally, Peiskos is a bistro with an elegant and beautiful ambience. The restaurant serves delectable Italian and Indian cuisine at affordable prices. It has a perfect atmosphere to unwind and have a fun filled time with family and friends.We were invited for a blogger’s session and the review for the place is as follows:Mocktails / Cold-Hot Brews:The mocktails like ‘Rose Lemonade’ and ‘Grenadine Lemonade’ were refreshing to the core. My favourites amongst the hot brews were Blood Orange tea and Tiramisu Green Tea which is a must order. Also this place is famous for it’s signature cold brews like the fruity ‘Apple Cold Brew’ and ‘Irish Cold Brew’.Appetiser:‘Dahi Ke Sholay’ had shallow fried cigar shaped bread rolls stuffed with mildly spiced hung curd served alongside pickled onions and mint chutney.‘Pizza Bologna’ had the spicy bolognese sauce loaded with chicken chunks, fresh basil and mozarella cheese.’Santa Maria de Pesto’ pizza had a thin crust with pesto sauce topped with bellpeppers, broccoli, zucchini and loaded with cheddar cheese.’Mushi Mushi’ pizza had a signature white sauce, loaded with mushroom, parsley and mozarella cheese. ’Cheesy Garlic Bread’ was toasted to perfection and topped with melted cheese served alongside a tartar dip. ’Cheese Nachos’ had crispy nachos tossed in salsa sauce and loaded with melted cheese. ‘Butter Chicken Lasagna’ was an indo-italian fusion dish where flat pasta was layered with silky makhni gravy with minced tandoori chicken, loaded with cheese and drizzled with olive oil.’Alfredo Veg’ had penne pasta tossed in cheesy creamy sauce and had no vegetables . ’Raan e murgh’ had chicken tangdi kebab marinated in signature spices and tandoored to perfection.Main Course:’Chicken Awadhi Biriyani’ was aromatic and delicious, flavoured with spices, herbs, nuts and saffron.’Chicken Dilkush’ had boneless roasted chicken in a thick mildly spiced aromatic gravy. ’Tursh-e-Paneer’ was a signature mughlai dish which had mozarella stuffed paneer in a silky buttery gravy.’Mutton Rogan Josh’,the signature kashmiri lamb curry was made with Indian spices, fennel seeds and dry ginger.The Bread basket had ‘Cheese Naan’,’Laccha Paratha’,’Missi Roti’ and ’Stuffed Masala Kulcha’ which were perfect accompaniment to the delicious gravy served.

  Wintry weather has us craving an extra-cozy place for our next meal. And it doesn’t get much cozier than resting near a roaring fire to enjoy a belly-warming meal and a smooth glass of red wine or hot, spiked cider. There’s just something comforting and nostalgic about fireside dining that we never tire of. Peiskos is all about a feeling, an ambient mood and certain sort of peaceful, contented calm and this is what Peiskos at Marredpally aims at thriving for. Peiskos, a brainchild of ex-IITan & a Mechanical Engineer, Prashant Gupta, who truly loves food & its nuances, describes it as the love for your very own cozy place. Peiskos which is located in West Marredpally, Secunderabad, is a beautiful Indian-Italian Bistro with pretty interiors and large French windows with a wooden finish which makes this place look like a fine dining restaurant. The ambiance has a young and easy cafe vibe with wooden table tabs and blue chairs. It also has private dining space for large dinings groups preferably suited for business meetings etc. Starting off with the appetizers, we were presented with Dahi ke Sholay which had the super crispbread exterior & the stuffing inside was prepared using hung curd and a melange of spices served with salad and mint chutney. This is also one of the most popular dishes from their menu & a must recommended dish. Next up was 3 variations of pizza: Mushi Mushi Pizza, Santa Maria de Pesto & Piazza Bologna. There was a half-n-half pizza made out of pesto sauce, bell peppers, broccoli and the other half composed of mushrooms, nutmeg, mozzarella topped with parsley; a nicely done pizza on thin crust base. Piazza Bologna had minced chicken, basil, oregano & bolognese sauce well baked with the right quality of cheese, truly it was a delight. Next up was Jalapeno Nachos topped with the cheese, black beans, minced tomatoes, chilies, and jalapeño peppers thereby making it great finger food. Veg Brushetta was served which had grilled bread with a layer of cheese topped with garlic & fresh tomatoes; full of flavors and cooked really nice. From the pasta section, we got Alfredo Veg Pasta which had a cream sauce with parsley served with bread; this was again a well-prepared dish from the appetizers section. Butter Chicken Lasagna was one fusion dish prepared with flat pasta sandwiched with Makhni gravy, tandoori chicken chunks, cheese sprinkled with olive oil just to the give the right texture & flavor to the dish; a nicely done lasagna which is again one of the hottest selling items from their menu & should be tried.Moving onto the mains, we were served with curries starting with Chicken Dilkhush, Mutton Rogan Josh & Tush e Paneer along with assorted breadbasket. I must say Chicken Dilkhush really won my heart as it had the Mughlai aroma to the gravy which really enhanced the taste. Even Mutton Rogan Josh was nicely done with the mutton pieces nicely cooked & all flavors properly kicking in. Tush-e-paneer had a really soft texture when savored with Naan as it composed of stuffed cottage cheese with mozzarella tossed in onion-tomato gravy, making it a great side dish from the vegetarian section. Not to forget, we were also presented with an array of mocktails including some great cold brews & teas; all of which were nicely prepared. A few of the drinks which are worth to be mentioned are Tiramisu Tea & Blood Orange Tea which had such a well balance of flavors and I would surely recommend these to everyone.Ending the fare with some sweet options, Brownie & Firni were served, I liked both of these offerings as the brownies were nicely baked & very soft in texture served with ice-cream and firni was nicely prepared with rice, milk and flavored with cardamom, cashews, pistachios or other dry fruits. Peiskos is surely a crowd puller for the folks of Secunderabad & nearby areas because of its different cuisines being served at the same place and an extensive menu with some really good food.

  This restaurant is in a corporate building and so not very visible to all. I happened to stumble upon it on zomato and decided to give it a try.We ordered Haldi chilli fish and fish biryani. A different taste to both the dishes and yummy. It wasn’t the usual biryani you get in Hyderabad. Not too spicy but just the right amount of hit.The ambience was okay and the staff were okay too.Overall.. I would just go here to try the other dishes. I’m curious to know if the Italian dishes will be as good the Indian.

  We came by Zomato rating and we ar seriously disappointed by the food and service, the place looks neat and class, but the food tastes bland we ordered veg lasagna and were seriously disappointed with the taste it is nothing but gravy of tomato carrots and beans served in between sheets of pasta no flavour no cheese, since Italian has disappointed us we decided to try indian and ordered minty pulao and this is no different from the earlier dish, it is just green rice with few pieces of baby potatoes here and there. It is missing spicy taste of masala or pulao which in general we expect.

  Not worthy of its Zomato rating. The service is chaotic and dead slow. The items are not consistent. Order bruschetta twice. And they served two different types of bruschetta. When asked, there is no concrete answer from the staff. You have to search for the butter on the butter naan. The curries are served on a plate not in a bowl. Therefore the quantity is too less. It’s deceiving. Not worthy of the prices. The staff just doesn’t care about the customers. The only good dish was the paneer tikka. Overall had a nightmare experience.

  Totally over rated!Been here for lunch on a weekday. Tried the indian food. I could only try few of their dishes. We ordered Garlic naan and Paneer makhni masala. Naan was nice and had the garlic touch to it. Paneer was soft and nice, the gravy was okay. Nothing great or special. Would give this a 3 or 3.5 rating. Ambience is nice as well as the seating.

  In Secunderabad, this is one of the best place to hang out. I was a bit late to visit this place. Everything was great. The ambience was the best. I ordered Peiskos pasta and Haldi Chilli Fish, both were too good and you have to taste them. Everything is going good until we ordered Lakhnavi Ghost Biryani, when we enquired about the main course he just told us they serve 4 different biryani, when the order came I was totally shocked seeing the biryani, it was not at all dum biryani, when I asked about that he told us that they serve Delhi special biryani but in the menu they clearly mentioned about the dum biryani. The taste of biryani was not at all good. After he told about the Delhi special biryani I thought of tasting it but it was tooo bad.I was using Dneout 50% FoodBill GIRF deal. Everything was good but disappointed with Biryani.Starters 5/5Main course 2/5Ambience 5/5Service 4/5
