                                 The first thought which pops in your head when anyone mentions Hyderabad is biryani of course. Hyderbadis take their biryani seriously and can judge places just by this one dish alone. I moved to Hyderabad a little over six years ago and it was then that I realized that there is so much more to this city than just the biryani. There were so many exquisite dishes to discover and indulge in this city that I was spoilt for choice. here’s a comprehensive list of must-eats you must absolutely have while in Hyderabad.

                                                                                                 

Almost every nook and corner of Hyderabad has one dosa and idli bandi. They make for great snacks and a healthy breakfast too. But let’s do away with the healthy bit when visiting Govind’s Dosa. This place is what defines sinful extravagance. The dosas are made in dollops of butter, the filling is ghee-soaked upma and the magic all lies in the magical ‘podi’ that he sprinkles generously. While you’re there at Govind’s, do not forget to try the tawa Idli too

 A visit to Old City is incomplete without having a Irani chai at Nimrah Café. The Café over the years has seen the quintessential shots of people posing with their cup with the towering Charminar in the background. So actually, this is a very iconic thing to do. A favorite pastime   of the city is sipping on cups of Irani chai and also dunking an Osmania biscuit in them. Nimrah Café also makes a brilliant khara tea biscuit.

The name Bawarchi is ubiquitous in the city. Multiple restaurants have

mushroomed all over the city using this name with either a prefix or postfix, but the taste can’t match up to the original restaurant. The original Bawarchi proudly displays ‘We have no branches.’ The biryani here is outstanding and the waft of the fragrance of this heavenly dish will sweep past your nostrils before a bowl of it arrives — really builds up the appetite.        

         Most Hyderabadi food except for the biryani and Haleem has yet to achieve commercial status. The dishes are still restricted to the homes or marriages. But Hotel Sohail has a cult status when it comes to their marag. The marag is a mutton stew where the morsels of tender mutton are cooked to perfection so that it nearly falls off the bone. It’s packed with flavor and is served as starter in most Hyderabadi weddings.

  These are just a tip of the iceberg when it comes to eating in Hyderabad. The city has been synonymous with food, and it reverberates with that thought. So, get exploring folks!
