Fan Of Hyderabad Hits? Here Are A List Of 10 Must-Try Spots In Delhi NCR For Biryani, Marag & More!

Delhi might be far from Charminar, but Hyderabadi cuisine has made itself right at home in the capital with pots of slow-cooked biryani, bowls of spicy salan, and kebabs so soft they skip the chew. This isn’t just about biryani (though there’s plenty of that too). We’re talking Marag, Dum Ka Murgh, and desserts like Double Ka Meetha and so much more. So if your cravings are headed south (Deccan, to be exact), here’s our handpicked list of restaurants where Hyderabadi cuisine steals the show. 

1. Bikkgane Biryani

If you're chasing the flavour of true Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, Bikkgane is your stop. Long-grain basmati is slow-cooked with tender meat, saffron, and ghee, sealed with dough for that signature dum. Their Mirchi Ka Salan and Raita don’t just sit on the side, they bring the whole Hyderabadi spread together.

2. Andhra Bhavan Canteen

At Andhra Bhavan, the real Hyderabadi magic happens on weekends. Their mutton and chicken biryanis land on the table only on Saturdays and Sundays, which are fragrant, fiery, and totally worth the wait of a whole week. Pair it with their bold mutton curry, and you've got a Hyderabadi hit in an otherwise Andhra world.

Their Chicken 65 is all crunch and spice with a mix of bold flavours in every bite, while the Mirchi Ka Salan adds that rich, tangy punch only true Hyderabadi kitchens know. It’s the kind of spread that’ll have you wiping your plate clean, and that too twice.

Their palak-anjeer kebabs offer a soft, smoky bite with a touch of natural sweetness from figs. For dessert, the Double Ka Meetha is a must-try with soft bread soaked in syrup, cooked in desi ghee, and finished with a touch of cardamom for that classic Hyderabadi sweetness.

They don’t just serve Hyderabadi cuisine, but they breathe it in. Their Chicken Biryani is cooked with deep, smoky masala and tender meat, while the Egg Biryani brings all the flavour of egg and biryani without missing a beat. Their Hyderabadi Chicken Masala Curry, on the other hand, is thick, spicy, and built for scooping up with rice or naan. One bite in, and Delhi starts tasting a lot like Hyderabad.
