Hyderabad House, Masab Tank, Hyderabad

The land of the Nizams has always been renowned for their Biriyani and Hyderabad House along with Paradise are two of the most famous outlets for sampling the Hyderabadi Biriyani for visitors to Hyderabad. Among the two, I prefer the fare at the Hyderabad house because it simply tastes better.
Hyderabadi Biriyani is different from the Biriyani that you get in the other parts of the country. Each part of India has different innovations of the Biriyani and the same is well documented, however the difference in the Hyderabadi Biriyani is stark in the very way the dish is cooked. The Hyderabadi version of the dish is where the meat and the rice are cooked together different from the Delhi / Lucknow school where the meat and the rice are cooked separately and later mixed. Anyways, enough Biriyani Gyan, the Biriyani at the Hyderabad house is great and is a definite must do if you are at the city of the Nizam.
The decor at Hyderabad house is simple and to the point. The food as mentioned is very good. It is the best Hyderabadi Biriyani that I have sampled. You can also have it with the Saalan that is served alongside although I like my Biriyani slightly dry.
A meal for two at Hyderabad House will cost you Rs 300/-
How to get there: Hyderabad House has a number of outlets all across Hyderabad. The one at Masab Tank is near the flyover.
