| Fruit Salad after a cleaned out plate of Biryani at Bawarchi |
I have been in Hyderabad more than 2 months and I have pretty much given up on the Biryani dream. Blasphemous, perhaps. Not due to the lack of Biryani, but due to lack of good Biryani. I am sure I am endangering myself by declaring this, but Bangalore had better Biryani than what I had so far. Sorry.
I have given it a good shot at that, I have had the Bawarchi biryani, the legendary Paradise Biryani, Hotel, Sitara Grand Biryani and several others many times over. Beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder, my taste buds and of a few non Hyderabadis I know still cant believe the Hype that was afforded to the Biryani here as compared to Biryani from other places. Localites share my opinion about the falling quality of Biryani in many older reputed joints.
My take on the best so far has been Meghana Biryani in Bangalore, not authentic but a version nevertheless.
So the challenge remains, find a good Biryani, or a version of this in the Nizam's city so I enjoy its due. Perhaps Ramazan, as always, might provide a delicious answer in Hyderabad.
