In India, few other things from daily life are given as much importance as food. Among several foodie destinations of the country, Hyderabad deserves a special mention. This city is popular for its trademark biryani but this is all that it offers. Here are some of the top food stops that every tourist of the city must visit at least once:

Chutney’s

Chutney is the Indian name for dips made from a combination of fruits, vegetables, and spices. Known for its collection of 6 signature chutneys, this restaurant serves delicious South Indian treats such as corn dosas, paneer tikka dosas, idlis, and uttapams. You can also try out wraps or go for authentic South Indian breakfast dishes such as Upma.

Gufaa

For an unconventional dining experience, you can head over to Gufaa. The theme of the restaurant is one of its most interesting qualities. The walls are rocky and the design is made to resemble the inside of an ancient cave. The décor is made up of elephant and tiger head sculptures, replicas of ancient murals, branches and roots that creep up the rocky walls and bamboo chairs that have zebra-skin cushions.

Gufaa also boasts of a delicious Indian spread that is enough to take your attention away from the interior décor. Some regular tourists make their reservations for this dining experience.

Hotel Shadab

If you want pass these posh restaurants and visit someplace homely that serves hearty meals, Hotel Shadab is the place to be. You can try their specialty Chicken Nihari which is only available on Saturdays or order the tried and tested Biryani and kebabs. The USP of this eatery is their delicious fare at a low pocket pinch.

Famous Ice Cream

Is it time for dessert? If you want to try unique ice-cream flavours, Famous Ice Cream is a must.
