Hyderabad is widely regarded as the “Biryani Capital of India.” The city is famous for its Hyderabadi Biryani, which has a unique flavor due to its use of fragrant basmati rice, tender meat (often goat or chicken), and a rich blend of spices. This dish is typically slow-cooked using the dum method, where the ingredients are sealed and cooked over low heat, allowing the flavors to infuse deeply.

Hyderabadi Biryani has become synonymous with the city’s culinary identity, attracting food lovers from across the country and the world.
