Hyderabadi Biryani

I haven't been to Hyderabad, but I am a great fan of its Biryani. I first tasted it in Hyderabadi Biryani House (HBH) in Victoria road, Bangalore. It is near to Garuda mall and Lifestyle. It is 100-150 m from Life Style towards HAL airport road. I have tasted the best biryani in my life here. I have been a regular customer here for 4 years, but still I couldn't have enough of it.
After 7 years of studying and working in Chennai I got a job in Bangalore. After few months I moved to B'lore, with few of my office colleagues went to HBH for the first time. From then on we couldn't resist going there atleast once in a week.
The highlight in HBH is mutton biryani (MB). I don''t consider chicken and veg version of it as biryani. I never had anything else other than MB there. MB is served in plantain leaf, which is more hygenic, ecofriendly and traditional. One plate of MB is sufficient for 1 person. MB is filled with tender mutton pieces coated with freshly ground masalas and spices. The aroma of the MB fills the dining hall. Biryani is served with mirch ka salan and onion raitha. Rotis, northi Indian masalas, kababs, and tandoori items are also in the menu. But, I never looked beyond the MB.
The MB is very spicy here. The meat just melts in your mouth. The basmati rice is cooked with perfection carrying the aroma of the meat and spices. One will feel like eating more and more. They serve very good goat's meat here. One of the finest. After tasting the biryani here, I couldn't have the biryani anywhere else. You can dine in, carry away and home delivery (ph: 65979203) option is available for the near by localities.
Once me and my friend from Hyderabad went to HBH. When asked for his opninion he told, 'this is good, but you have to come to Hyderabad once and taste it'. He told it is damn good there. In my opinion, atleast once a non-vegetarian must taste the hyderabadi biryani in his/her lifetime (either here in HBH or in Hyderabad). Otherwise he/she misses something.
There is one more hyderabadi biryani house in Hosur road near to Forum. Guys, it's horrible. Please don't go there. The biryani here tastes like tamrind or tomato rice.
So guys ... ready to go .... HBH or Hyderabad :-)
