We have asked few of our Hyderabadi’s to tell us why Hyderabad is not Hyderabad without…..??

The Beautiful Sunrise & Sunset at Charminar. The infamous Hyderabadi Biryani. We make sure people all over India get a taste of this yummy dish & our Slang the first thing to learn is (BAIGAN KE BAATA NAKKO KARRO) Translating to “Don’t talk nonsense” .

Hyderabad is not just a city or a physical location, Hyderabad is its people. Hyderabad is the warmth of its residents and the hospitality they carry in their hearts.

Hyderabad is not Hyderabad without the beauty of the Nizam’s creation and the elegance of the traditional Hyderabadi Nizami jewellery. The Nizam’s creation such as Chowmahalla Palace. The Jewels of the Nizam of Hyderabad state are among the largest and most expensive collection of jewels in present-day India. KAUNAIN ALI

One iconic event, & a thousand memories. If you ’ re a Hyderabadi then Numaish needs no introduction. Every New Year ’s we were prepared for the best two months of the year. Not only the locals, but people who knew Numaish flocked and travelled from all over the country to taste the spirit of this trade fair here in Hyderabad. This is the magic of our prestigious Numaish. I hope postpandemic we get to experience this spectacular carnival real soon. ASIYAH

Hyderabadi Slang! I have it too, if you are born here, no matter what accent you have this is our soil language. PRIYANKA BIRLA WADHWA

ORR (Outer Ring Road) A quick long night drive for Hyderabadis & the Dakhni lingo is what makes one a Hyderabadi. Kaiku, nakko, unlogaan, apanlogaan, miyaan, kiraak, aakhri over, yaaro to a name a few, are part of our everyday. AMENA RASTI BAGHBAN

Biryani & Irani Chai they are the soul of the city KAPIL MK

Hyderabad is known for a lot of things. But mainly, Biryani, Shervani, Mehendi, hospitality & the exquisite pearls it has to offer from the Nizami era. All these traditions have been passed down from the Nizams since decades!

Idly and Dosa are outstanding in our city which is irresistible
