What people say, in short
G. Pulla Reddy, the old sweet shop chain with branches across Hyderabad, splits opinion more than any other shop here. Many people still name it as a go-to and several call it the best around, singling out its pootharekulu (including dry fruit versions), kova, jhangiri and motichoor laddu; one diner raves about the halwa and palakova at the original shop in Kurnool. But a sizeable group warns that quality has slipped, with complaints about freshness and taste and one diner finding the Shamshabad branch bad, and a few consider it overpriced. Even some critics still rate its jhangiri.
