#OldCityHyderabad #HyderabadFoodTrail #GourmetOnTheRoad

Authentic Hyderabadi Biryani at Hotel Shadab, Hyderabad. Restaurants In Old City, Hyderabad, Telangana.

For a taste of old Hyderabad, some would say that Hotel Shadab is the place to go. This is a no-fuss, humble eatery that serves up what is said to be authentic Hyderabadi Dum Ka Biryani, a fixture of the culinary landscape of the city.

In this episode, Food Lovers’ Editor Kripal Amanna sits down to a meal at Hotel Shadab with Chef Mohammed Iqbal. They sample a flavourful plate of Boti Kebab and move on to taste both the chicken and mutton biryanis while Chef Iqbal walks us through some of the intricacies and nuances of each dish.

GOURMET ON THE ROAD RATING
MUTTON BOTI KEBAB
this chatpata boti kebab has retained its juiciness and a bit of its meaty bite, a tad overdone on the colour though.
Rs 260.
8/10

CHICKEN DUM BIRYANI
the masala threading through the rice is rich and flavourful, thanks to the copious amount of fried onion. the whole spices however is a little harsh and not very rounded in its flavour.
Rs 190.
7.5/10

MUTTON DUM BIRYANI
this biryani packs a punch. the khada masala is much more pronounced in this dish but is well balanced and fully developed in its flavour. the meat is tender and yields with the gentlest of bite.
Rs 190.
9/10

I'm a Bengali who stayed long in Hyderabad. People are fond of Biryani at Paradise there, but belive me, in old city, Shadab is unmatched, till I know.

[saijaswanthkakumanu]

Shadab biryani tastes awesome.... It always maintains same taste every time.... By closing our eyes.out of 10 biryanis, if we eat randomly, we can easily identify the biryani of shadab... Excellent aroma

[vineetgarlapally]

Finally after a long toil tasting Biryanis from various places, you now know what a Real Biryani tastes like.. good job

Thank for being honest no matter how straightforward, truth is bitter sometimes. And also you have a unique talent of vocalising the food flavors you try which is absolutely essential for a food reviewer, keep up the good work dude.p

Hi Kripal, I worked in Novotel Hyderabad Convention Centre and marketed all the restaurants in the hotel such as The Square where Chef Iqbal is working. Chef Iqbal is the right pick for the episode. Apart from his culinary expertise, he is s very sweet person.

[peaceplease]

Hi Kripal. I am Ganesh from Hyderabad, India. I remember in an earlier post to you... I was you to come to my city Hyderabad and explore the food scene here and
not restrict yourself to hotels of Bengaluru :-) alone.

Now I am happy and thrilled to bits to see you here Kripal. Its such an honor for our city to have an amazing personality like you with such acumen and knowledge
on all things "food". Can't believe you without that signature HAT of yours cooly strolling amidst all the chaos and paraphernelia of our bustling Hyderabad.
The way you speak, articulate and gesture, the way you fall in love with food and the passion that you exhibit, the nittygritties of every single aspect (every single morsel and masala)
that you tirelessly dole out with such aplomb.... Oh God ! You were sent as a Messenger of the Greek God of Food and Happiness or what :-)

Your reviews are the best and I am a FAN of you and I wish I meet you one day just to get a Selfie with you smiling over food
or a selfie with you in that typical hat of yours which you always doff when you enter many a kitchen (perhaps out of supreme respect to the Chef/s there or simply because its warm in there :-)

Amazing reviews Sir... Its all in your eyes....I can look into those child like eyes of yours (full of mirth and curiosity) and say what rating you are going to give a dish.
9 out of 10 times I get it SPOT ON. Me and my wife together sit and watch your reviews on youtube and she says Yeahhhh.... every time I get a rating right (Its like answering a
KBC question without even waiting for the 4 options to appear, let alone use a lifeline..

Chicken Biryani .... I rated 7.5 out of 10 and you gave it 7.5 too. Because your eyes didn't reveal that childish drooly look which you give when you simply get mesemerized by the taste r
of something super delicious or flavorful without too much of a spice explosion or sugar explosion. A true connoiseur of food.... KRIPAL Sir....Its my life dream to meet you once and
spend even 10 minutes with I pray to God that happens. God bless you and your family. Continue to enlighten us and educate us and if possible please make some good shows on
Amazon Prime / TV as well for all to watch and enjoy :-)
