Their haleem stands out for its homely taste and premium quality, making it a must-try for anyone craving comfort food with authenticity,” Ayesha stold us.

Siasat.com Review:

Biryani Souq delivers an authentic Hyderabadi culinary experience. The Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani is a must-try, it is mouth-melting, with a delightful aroma of ghee that makes it irresistible.

Their Haleem is top-notch, rich, and flavorful. The Shadi Wala Red Chicken is another great dish, although it contains slightly more food color than expected. The Hyderabadi Chicken 65 is also highly recommended for its perfect seasoning and crispiness.
