Top Places To Eat Hyderabadi Biryani

the fullhyd.com team
And the best way to enjoy it is to not first read reams of creative prose praising it to the heavens - there's nothing like discovering it accidentally all by yourself. Here are the best places to do it.
BEST PLACES FOR HYDERABADI BIRYANI
  • Service, hygiene, courtesy, ambience and peace are all minor issues in life, and at best, ignored. Concentrate on the piece in your plate, and you'll not regret it.

  • You've heard about it, you've tasted it, you've burped. Fortunately, Niagara belongs to Hyderabad, not Chaderghat.

    Where: 15-6-124, Near Kamal Talkies, Chaderghat (3 km)

  • Shadab is not every other restaurant if (a) you like old city, (b) you love old city, (c) old city is in your blood. For a thoroughbred local from south of the Musi, it's, of course, home.

    Where: 21-1-140, High Court Road, Charminar (3.6 km)

  • One of the major stop-overs on the biryani tour, Garden scores for a variety that's, although on the greasy side, cooked thoroughly well so the spices come together deliciously.

  • Aadaab is a good way to taste the food of the old city without having to go all the way there. Now there's a deal.

  • There's nobody in Himayatnagar who wouldn't have eaten at Bahar. Actually, add 10km to all sides. Sure, that's a gross exaggeration, but it won't hurt anyone's feelings.

Meridian Biryani panjagutta.probably the best in recent times. Paradise Biryani is more worst than Roadside biryani.

eat at NEW ASTORIA RESTAURANT at R T C X road and you will get the real taste of hyderabadi biryani

Waste.. Waste.. Waste.

NO MATCH FOR BAWARCHI which is next to it. They survive only because people cannot wait at Bawarchi and go to Astoria as an alternative.
