Yes, I remember Bowenpalli.

Your stomach small or big, take small helping and have a try.

I found the Hyderabadi Halim a bit to dry for comfort and it would be real difficult, in my opinion, to break the fast after prayers during Ramazan.

The best Biriyani I have had is in the home of a Sufi Muslim officer. It was heavenly.

The worst Biriyani I have had is in the restaurants, where they think an oil rice with roasted mutton on top is Britiyani!!

Brigadier they are the cantonments official photographers since the last hundred years and the oldest photo studio in hyderabad
OK.

But the official photographers came to the functions and then brought the photos demanded.

I did not have to go to the shop.

Too much of "garam masala". I can't bear it.

Thanks.

Next time I am in Hyderabad, I will have a go at them.

Most probably by the end of this year, my friend's daughter will be getting married and so we will be there.

However, he is one of the old Muslim family and so the tuck in Muslim style may turn out to be too heavy.

Still, who knows? I might still find some space to have the stuff that you have mentioned, though I am a small eater.

That is right.

When I was posed in Hyderabad, it was a pleasure to have food at his house.

His mother in law was a fabulous cook.

And they were very large hearted people.

During Bakr Id, I used to get a leg of mutton without fail.

They are supposed to give 1/3 to the family members, 1/3 to the poor and keep 1/3 for themselves of the sacrifice.

I am not too sure as to which category they clubbed me with.

Maybe the 1/3 for the poor! :)

Looks like the end of the sentence your brain took a walk. Any place you recommend for muslim food in Hyderabad?
