Miss Bawarchi, even the naqli Bawarchis used to be good. Paradise overrated. 

 

An underrated Biryani place is just outside Secunderabad railway station, Alpha Hotel/Restaurant IIRC. 7-8 years ago, things may be different now. 

 

Ok city, lots of historical sites, Salar Jung Museum dope, decent infrastructure, never liked the dry heat. Weather-wise better than Chennai. Horrible traffic, crossing any road in Hyd is a life-and-death situation. Old City is extremely dirty, smells like **** everywhere. 

 

Much prefer Bengaluru, Among South cities where I have lived, Bengaluru>Hyderabad>Chennai.

Are you serious?

Your stock value on the Mariyam ICF poster stock index had risen 2500pts after your amazing posts in the Olympics thread. But your bull run is over. With this statement you have fallen 200 basis points.

Bawarchi is like the Abbas Mastan of biriyanis.

Formulaic, far too much masala, leaves you feeling slightly nauseous after the experience.

tried both bawarchi and paradise biriyani in bangalore ( online  ordering ) .. both were very average and not so sure whether they are genuine franchise of hyderbad paradise and bawarchi

in bangalore , "hyderbad biriyani house" biriyani is the best ..

Being a techie is like being from Jharkhand/Chattisgarh.

Something one must never admit to.

 

Definitely not something to brag about.

Ok....

Never tried Biryani there. Always Rumali Roti plus different types of curries (mostly spicy). 

Anyway it was 7 years back, fresh out of college and bachelor life. Every weekend after workout used to head to Bawarchi with my friends to stuff myself, maybe I am overrating those experiences cos of nostalgia. But yeah miss those days, life was simple.

Takeout weather and:

 

Hyderabad>Bengaluru>Chennai. 

 

Bengaluru is very crowded. Much more costly.  And traffic is such a nightmare there.

Yeah many fake ones there.

Thanks for the suggestion, will recommend that to my friends. I stopped consuming Biryani a while back, in fact no rice (or carbs for that matter) for me.

Easily. Hyderabad has everything what Bangalore has to offer.

Since when is Mumbai hot in August? :confused:

Most of India is hot in August with 30 plus temp and humidity making it feel like close to 40.

I was trolling [mention=14523]Trichromatic[/mention]
 
but since you ask, I'm not a fan of Hyderabad.
- Your Biriyani is a spicy scam. 
- Your Urdu is a scam (albeit funny)
- Hate it when every young person calls it Hydra-BAD. 
- Weather is terrible 
- Your airport is in a different country?
- Far too many techies/science people/engineers. Automatically makes it a dull place.
- Far too many Muslims. Automatically makes it a dull place.
 
 


Biryani-scam - Please provide the name of the outlets which you are calling scam? Did you have home cooked Biryani?

Urdu-scam - Not my area of expertise but it is a beautiful dialect. Similar to Telangana dialect.

Hydra-BAD - I noticed many folks who are migrants or with migrant parents pronounce it that way. I find it annoying as well. You can't live in a city without knowing how to pronounce it's name. That is also my pet peeve.

Terrible weather - Well it is at least not humid like Mumbai.

Airport Far away - Yes, I understand your jeleousy. Don't worry you will heal with time.

Too many techies - ok.

Too many Muslims - I might have my own prejudice about Hyderabadi Muslims but dull is not something I would use to define them.

Anyone cooks good Biryani here? I tried once but dum biryani is bit tricky and it was barely edible :sad_smile:

Aren't you Bengali? 

You guys put a whole boiled aalu in your Biriyani ewww.

You are disqualified from speaking on the topic.

We used to call it jahaaj in biryani. :cantstop:

 

It's not just whole boiled aalu, it's biggest you can find in mandi aalu.
