If you're short on time - or want to take a short solo trip on an evening - go to Pista House for their biryani & paneer dishes. Elephant (North Indian) and Bits & Bytes (continental) are some other cheap options. Taaza has good (and dirt cheap) South Indian, Tandoor has decent Mughlai, and Alankrita has fancy/pricey cuisines.
If you have time, then take a Rapido auto to Kompally for some of the most reasonably priced great restaurants spanning from mandi (Barkaas etc), Buffalo Wild Wings, Asian (7 Sisters), and Ahoy & Thinespo (general) etc. Heart Cup Coffee is slightly expensive, but has excellent cocktails, too. [Always book all these in advance through Gold/One for the discounts!]
If you have even more time [or a larger group to divide cab expenses], then consider taking a trip to some pretty Sainikpuri cafes like This Is It & F3 for some fantastic continental food.
Alternatively, some other slightly farther places which can be conveniently accessed directly through the bus & metro are Padmaja near Sec'd station for dirt cheap & fulfilling vegetarian food, Grill-9 for the Shwarama & reasonably priced non-veg food, and the tonne of bars & restaurants near Begumpet Metro Station that pretty much have everything (North & South, Asian, Continental, Finger food etc) at every price point (Special mention: Fresh Cut, The Bar Project, Hashi & Conçu).
This turned out to be a pretty exhaustive list for places nearby, so I'm happy to claim that most other places nearby are passable (Special mention: Aranya for the costly & below average food!).
If I add anything further, it'll basically cover the whole city — which I'd strongly recommend you explore, for it is very much worth it. To give some key gems not to missed: Flying Spaghetti Monster for Italian, Tolichowki for Middle Eastern non veg street food, Cafe Bahar & Girlfriend Mandi for amazing biryanis, and Rika for quality Asian food. All the best!
There is Pista House and Elephant's which are good multi cuisine restaurants. Lately, some nice South Indian restaurants have also opened nearby. If money is not an issue, there are some really good resorts nearby. You can go for karting, swimming, paintball, etc.
Then there are dhabas. They serve liquor and cheap food. Go to spot for most nalsarites, although that culture is going down lately.
But then again, it's Hyderabad. With even 30-40 mins of travel time at hand, you can go to some really nice places. You'll never be short of good food options.
HAVE FUN ANYWAYS
