Hyderabadi Biryani: Part I

7:30 pm Diamond point, Secunderabad, traffic seems to have gone cuckoo at this five way. This is nothing new for any Hyderabadi but for me it is more than just another reason to feel irritated, especially after having spent better part of evening traveling in minibus. No wonder I'm beginning to hate Hyderabadi drivers. There seems to be single line rule for driving in city of Nawabs and that is "pehle main". There is another peculiar thing, whenever you see a traffic jam, invariably you will find an able traffic constable standing right in the middle of it, trying his very best to make things worse. I think they are trained for this or something. Khair had enough of traffic tonight!

Keeping traffic aside for a while, there is one thing that really stands out in favor of Hyderabad. It is an outstanding place if you are talking about food. Not just the amazing taste and variety of cuisine available here, most of the restaurants are simply exquisite when it comes to esthetics. Perhaps it is the only aspect of Hyderabad that I have been able to explore well in past few months that I have been here. Following is the list of some of my favorites.

Our Place Amazing open air restaurant

Angeethi Cool authentic Dhaba style interior

Tabla Fundoo Tabla shaped bar
