Hyderabad offers a cacophony of tastes and a number of restaurants from Hyderabadi foods to fusion food and multi-cuisine. Here are some of our favorites:
Arts Cafe (located in the new Inorbit mall): This restaurant identifies itself as the world's first South Indian Bistro. The menu selections are under four main categories: Dosa, Idly, Appam, and Risotto. Each South Indian taste (i.e. dosa, idly, and appam) is then fused with other savory delights from various geographic regions. For example, Pizza Dosa, a Salsa Appam with swiss-fondue, and Risotto with creamy spinach and the robust spiciness associated with much of Hyderabadi cuisine. We also recommend the virgin Mojito (a fresh lime and soda with mint), or the refreshing Jiggery Mojito. This cafe also includes a smart board and encourages interactive digitally produced art-making form its guests. Costs per dish range from 195-220 Rs.
Our Place (Banjara Hills): The setting of this restaurant includes an expansive outdoor seating area that is filled with tropical plants, and beach-bungalow structures covering several of the seating areas. The large menu offers both north Indian and Chinese dishes. The Indian dishes are a bit tastier, however the fried vegetable wontons are also quite good. Great service and an excellent place for both large and small groups. The prices range from 185-325 Rs per meal.
Shadab Hotel Restaurant (Chariminar): This is the place for some of the best Biryani in the city. Biryani is a Hyderabadi specialty of rice cooked with a number of spices including saffron, cumin, corriander, ginger, turmeric, red chilli, garlic, onion, and tomato (and a large piece of meat if you choose that variety) all simmered together in a pressure cooker, until a mountain of rice and several layers and bursts of flavor dance on your taste buds. In addition to the Biryani the Chicken Tikka Kebabs were and excellent complement along with the garlic naan. The family seating (upstairs) is recommended for groups of both men and women. Men only seating is downstairs. Prices range from 125-200 Rs per meal. Excellent and friendly service.
