Three months… and I’ve still not found it.
For all you know, I might have come to Hyderabad just to have a taste of that biriyani of which I have heard all my life. I come from another land where biriyani takes up a big chunk of our lives. Chicken Biriyani, Mutton Biriyani, Fish Biriyani, even beef biriyani… malabari’s have taken it to a different level. I was overjoyed when I moved to hyderabad. This was another land of the biriyanis. But sad to say, reality had a different bite to it.

I’ve tried it from Paradise, I’ve tried it from Hyderabad House, I’ve tried it from Four Seasons. They all gave me different versions of the Hyderabadi Biryani and none too great either. Or so, in my opinion… The Four Seasons was the best of the lot… but I still feel something’s missing.

The best biriyani I’ve had so far is from a restaurant I don’t even remember, which makes me quite upset… Cos i really want to have good biryani and if I cant get it in the land of the biriyanis… then where do I get it?

its smthng like finding the best vada-pav in mumbai, best idli-coffee stall in bangalore, best sandesh vendor in kolkata, the best kulcha-chana-paranthe in dilli, the best dhaba on the GT road, the best kachori in indore and kota, the best laddoos in kanpur, the best petha in agra and so on…
generally thngs which are generally made famous at these places dont give expected satisfaction, u r used to a taste which these dishes from famous locations fail to satisfy
all the best for finding the best biriyani thgh…:)

Apoorv says:

sadly most of these joints are too commericalised to suit the taste buds of gourmet .Try out Zafrani Biryani at Mohini`s . The place is on main road at Basheerbagh,right below the flyover.quite old place..hopefully you will love it.

Miirage, I actually like Malabari Biriyani more than Hyderabadi. Probably cos I was used to the taste growing up in Kerala, and subsequently developing a taste for it in Bangalore at Koshy’s (slurrp) and empire.

aneeta says:

try out a small restaurant called abiruchi near jubilee hills checkpost.i remember eating some yummy biriyani there during our hyd days.its to the right road [u have to go 1 km or so}when you are approaching jubilee hills.

I finally found it… Ok so it may not be Hyderabadi Biryani… But man was it awesome… The place is called Mediterranean cuisine in tolichawki next to 4 seasons… very very unassuming from outside… but quite swank inside… and what a rocker biryani… subtle but bursting with flavours… i know i’m being very oxymoronic here… but it was just too good…

Rani Sowmya says:

Miraage, Did you check Bawarchi @ RTC Crossroads? i do have fond memories of this place for their hydie biryanies.. :-)
