Of course, no visit to Hyderabad’s Old Town would be complete without also visiting Charminar, so we’ll climb up this impressive mosque which offers stunning views of the city.
Bring your appetite and join us as we explore Hyderabad on this street food tour!
David and I kick-off our street food tour in Hyderabad with a stop at Nimrah Café and Bakery, a local hangout serving delectable tea and cookies. With over 25 different varieties of cookies, you'll be hard-pressed to narrow down your selection. To wash this all down we sampled Irani Chai - a hot milky delight featuring ginger and cinnamon.
Our attraction on this street food tour was a visit to the monumental Charminar. This four minaret mosque was built in 1591 features the best views in the Old Town area of Hyderabad. We paid 300 rupees as foreigners and it was well worth it.
To cool down we headed to Milan Juice Centre for a refreshing drink called Mango Malai. It was actually more thick than refreshing with heaps of milk and yoghurt.
To turn up the dials on the spice-o-meter we headed to Al-Akbar Fast Food Corner to sample boneless chicken 65 nuggets, ginger chicken and parathas. Given that I love spicy Indian food this was right up my alley. The ginger sauce was next level.
To close things off we headed over to Matwale Doodh Ghar for a creamy lassi. After just indulging eating spicy chicken this was the perfect way to end our food tour in Hyderabad. Given how hot it was that afternoon we sure needed this.
