Hyderabadi biryani at Cafe Bahar

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

Cafe Bahar is one of the hard core eateries which serve hyderabadi biryani. In my five day visit to Hyderabad last week, I have been there twice. The origins of this dish is linked with Moghuls and Persians of medieval period and in particular Aurangzeb is believed to be the one who introduced it to Hyderabad.

Here is how a dinner at Cafe Bahar looks like.

After placing your order, you will hardly wait for five minutes. Thats the best part. No boring 30 minute wait.

Here is how the serving looks like. It is cooked for a long time by the ‘dum’, so the flavor of the spices will get into the layers of the meat.
