Shadab

Shadab is often recommended as the go-to destination for anyone around Charminar, and while opinions may be mixed, one thing is certain – their biryani is absolutely delectable. However, it must be said that consistency can be a concern, especially if you arrive here after a long, tiring stroll around Charminar and are forced to wait an hour or more for a seat. But, let us not dampen your spirits! There are a few tips we can offer to make your visit to Shadab a much more delightful experience. We suggest opting for seating on the ground floor if you're on a tight budget, as the rates are much cheaper there. Besides, the ambience on the ground floor, while humble, is perfectly charming, with a raised platform featuring majlis seating that is perfect for families. We have felt that the biryani you get on the ground floor is much better, this may probably be our illusion, but do check once and let us know! The rest of the menu is also always solid. There are good breakfast options as well. On a scorching summer day, we highly recommend their lip-smacking lassi or faluda to cool you down. And if you're a fan of tea, you'll be delighted to know that it's consistently good at Shadab.
