A conversation about biryani cannot miss the city of Hyderabad, popular for the Hyderabadi Biryani. While Hyderabadi cuisine offers a variety of delicious delicacies, the biryani is unmissable, and is famous throughout the country. So much so that many people even say that to visit the city and not eat the Hyderabadi Biryani is a sin for foodies. As Hyderabad is synonymous with biryanis, a recent video from Hyderabad has gone viral, and saddened the hearts of foodies on the internet.
