In search of that PERFECT biryani in Hyderabad? This is the only guide you need

You know, I had four different ways to start this blog. But then I thought, ‘why not begin with a real story?’ I was 9 years old when I visited Hyderabad for a wedding with my family. On our way back, we were standing near the Hyderabad Railway Station, hungry and looking for a place to eat. We walked into a random restaurant nearby and ordered Hyderabadi chicken biryani. And there I found THE biryani of my life. Spicy and packed with masala, where the masala has coated the rice like it’s a love story. Slightly sweet when the birista (fried onions) comes in your bite, and that tenderness of the chicken… JUST PERFECT. It’s been over a decade now, I’m 21 as I write this. And I still remember the taste. I love biryani so much now that my portfolio is named ‘Biryani Writer.’ Okay, I don’t remember the name of that restaurant. No one in my family does. And honestly, I doubt it even exists anymore. But I want you to fall in love with biryani, too. (Because how can you not? I am judging you already.) So this is your guide. If you’re in Hyderabad and confused about where to eat, these are my recommendations. But first…
