What people say, in short
A Mehdipatnam biryani spot that people repeatedly name among Hyderabad's best; one calls it slept on, and another credits it with authentic Hyderabadi taste. The chicken biryani gets mentioned, and one regular points to the fresh onions served alongside as a sign of quality. Not everyone is sold, though: one local says it is only worth visiting for haleem.
