They've been around for a while and are most famous for their yummy oven cooked pizzas.

1. Terttulia, Koregaon Park 

Located in the plush Koregaon Park, this restaurant has everything for you to woo your special one. Check out their exquisite list of wines, or enjoy a beer while you eat their gastronomical food! My pick? Glazed Lamn Ragout hands down!

10 Dishes From Hyderabad You Must Try

Since the craze these days seems to be "lists" and "must dos" and "have to's", I thought: why not make a list of food everyone must try from the city of Hyderabad? Located almost in the centre of India and having the rare combination of Nizam influence and local Telugu (Andhra/Telangana) culture infused in its food, Hyderabad can boast of the best food found in India. Perhaps it rightly deserves to be called the food capital of India! If I'm missing something out, speak up!

10. Hyderabadi Marag

It's a clear meaty soup that is likely to brighten up any day. Have it during the winter months with some bread and enjoy the tender meat that cooks for hours before being served.

9. Lukmi Kebab

Perhaps a little less popular dish, but it is one to die for. It resembles a samosa but is square or rectangle shaped and filled with meat. It is usually served with hot chutney but it taste wonderful just the way it is!

8. Gosht Pasinde

This is a thick mutton gravy with a few veggies included for good measure. It goes best with naan but can be eaten with rice too. Pasinde can be made a semi-dry curry too and is relished by all in Hyderabad.

7. Tundai Kebab

Known in Lucknow as the 'Tunday Kebab', Hyderabad has got its own version too. It's a lamb kebab infused with curd, masalas and other spices. When cooked to perfection, it melts in your mouth!

6. Shahi Tukda

This is a sweet made out of bread and is said to be a Nizam favourite. The only ingredients from this simple yet royal dish are bread, milk, nuts and spices. It is aromatic and no one can have just one!

5. Haleem

Usually only available in the month of Ramadan, it is a mouthwatering stew of mutton, wheat and spoonfuls of ghee. It is typically garnished with fried onions and wedge of lime. If you haven't tried this as yet, you have no idea what you're missing out on.

4. Nahari/Nihari

Made from goat trotters it is a rather unusual but tasty dish from Hyderabad. It is usually eaten with hot naans, bread or kulcha. It is said that the Nizams of Hyderabad enjoyed nahari as a soup before most meals.

3. Paaya (Lamb/Chicken)

Similar to nahari, it too is of a soup consistency but is eaten as a curry and can be made into a thicker consistency too.

2. Double Ka Meetha

It translates to bread pudding and is an exotic desert waiting to be tried. The bread is deep fried, soaked in milk and sugar and heavily garnished with dry fruits. Craving something sweet? This is a must try!
