When someone says Hyderabad, the first image which forms in anyone’s mind is of biryani. The fragrance, colour and flavour of the yellow and white rice can attract anyone. Tourists never miss enjoying this while in Hyderabad and locals never get bored of it. Though the original taste is known to none, the people of Hyderabad have mastered the art of Dum Biryani, The following are the top 5 places for biryani.
-
Paradise: “Paradise Food Court” is the name associated with Hyderabadi biryani. The place started with a small food court in a local cinema hall but is now a famous brand for biryani. Biryani at this place is rich in spices especially saffron. Unlike any other place, its biryani does not have so much chilly and is lighter on stomach. Mutton biryani is a must try at this place. It is located at several places though the main branch is at Paradise circle.
-
Bawarchi: This is the second name associated with biryani. The place has faced a challenge in spreading its name. There are several other restaurants which have come up in the city using the name of this famous brand. But there is only one original branch in the city and it is located at the RTC cross road. Biryani at this place does not have saffron but is rich in other spices. Though, I might sound weird but the Veg biryani is really fantastic at this place.
-
Shadab: This is the name associated with Chicken biryani. Hotel Shadab is very old and hence locals trust it for the originality in the taste. It is also famous for Haleem, a special mutton sweet dish prepared during Ramadan.
-
Shah Ghouse: This place is known for the quantity of chicken served in a chicken biryani. People even joke about this place, that they serve you an entire hen in your plate. The place might be lacking in ambience but the chicken biryani is mouth watering.
-
Alpha Hotel: Located at the Secunderabad Railway Junction, the place has served millions of travelers with Hyderabadi biryani. It doesn’t offer dining-in as the place is small. But biryani is available for take away. Passengers catching train from Secunderabad Railway Junction get their biryani packed from this place and enjoy the last meal of Hyderabadi biryani while traveling.
