Biryani on a plate

Verdict: Walk

Fantastic biryani - one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend it; one portion was enough to really stuff you and make you sleepy. Lovely spices to the dish. Since biryani is very common in HYD, I would say you can prob try other spots as well.

Comments:

• Well perfumed rice with clove, cinnamon, and other aromatics

• Each grain of rice was coated in oil and had a beautiful texture to it

• I had 4 biryanis over the course of a 5 day trip and this is the only one that is making the blog bc of the rice specifically

• Mutton was nice but you get a very small portion so I had to order 2x chicken legs on top of my rice

• You will be very full and very sleepy after eating this dish :)

• Worth coming to if you’re visiting Hyderabad and want a great, inexpensive eat - I did not get any food poisoning and felt that the establishment was relatively well kept
