Searching for must-try local food in Hyderabad? From savoury paaya to creamy Irani chai, here's a mouthwatering list of dishes to savour on your next trip to Hyderabad!

Food blogger Kalyan Karmakar says, “Biryani is always Hyderabadi biryani."

Hyderabad’s Deccani cuisine is a beautiful amalgamation of the local Telugu, Marathwada and Muslim cultures where dishes of rice, wheat and meats are skillfully cooked with herbs, spices and natural edibles.

As of March 2019, Paradise Biryani has 36 branches across the country which employ more than 3,500 people, generating a turnover of around Rs 360 crore. It is a prominent landmark in the twin cities, and a visit is incomplete without a pit stop at the heritage restaurant.

From Andhra Pradesh's Araku Valley near Vishakapatnam, there comes a unique biryani instantly recognisable by its unique cooking style that brings alive flavours.

These three mouthwatering dishes will be a pleasant addition to the already existing series of stamps of 24 different Indian dishes, including the famous Tirupati laddu.
