* Hyderabad is renowned for its cuisine. Hyderabadi Dum Biryani is considered a connoisseur's delight. It occupies a place of pride among the various Biryani styles so unique of Indian cuisine.
The Hyderabadi Biryani finds it claim to fame from the time of the Nizam's of Hyderabad. Biryani is a dish that was originally made with lamb's meat carefully cooked with Rice. Today Biryani is made using Vegetables, Chicken, Seafood and Beef. The Beef Biryani is known as Kalyani Biryani, available at many small eateries in the city. Although any Irani cafe might serve this delectable dish, there are a few places, better known for tasteful food than their hygiene. One may look up the phone book or yellow pages for clues. One great example is the Alpha restaurant just opposite the Secunderabad Railway Station. A few good places are listed below -
* Shahdab(Madina Building), The Paradise Restaurant(Secunderabad), Baawarchi (RTC X Roads), Hyderabad House(over 10 branches), Pista House (Charminar), Bahaar (BasheerBagh), Sohail (Malakpet), Niagara (Chaderghat & Himayatnagar), Deccan Palace (Red Hills), Kholani's Kitchen (Boggula Kunta)
Hyderabad also offers a midnight feast of Biryani along with a lavish spread of other dishes. The Midnight Biryani Buffet normally opens at 2330 hrs and remains open into the wee hours of the day.
If Biryani is not your choice of meal or you have had your fair share of it, do not fret. Hyderabad offers a wide variety of food on its platter, and many of the luxurious hotels offer authentic cuisine even from places such as Afghanistan - Dum Pukt in Grand Kakatiya is a case in point. Besides, there is unending array of thematic food festivals to soothe your appetite.
