Paradise vs Bawarchi: This city of pearls is now known as the undisputed city of biryani: Hyderabad. There are so many biryani joints, but two names really dominate every soil track – Paradise and Bawarchi. The most relevant question now is-raja badi dey biryanika.
Started in 1953, Paradise Biryani began as a single small canteen and branched into a global establishment, now having outlets across India and even in some overseas countries. A constant quality, family-friendly ambience, and polished service have branded Paradise as a mild aromatic, rich-in-flavour but easy-on-spices biryani. This one-time choice for tourists and first timers to Hyderabad.
Bawarchi at RTC X Roads, on the other hand, happens to be one local legend. Next to the spicy and beefier biryani, it’s well-loved fun for the true-blue Hyderabadis who want their food dosed in an extra kick. It’s no wonder that the lines streaming outside Bawarchi on weekends are a testimony to just how popular this small eatery is. It may not have the polish of a chain store, but it delivers on flavor and quantity.
Ask a local, and you’ll find intense camps on both sides. Legacy and class praise Paradise, while spice and boldness sanction Bawarchi. Here the debate usually sways to one’s personal preference: mild and elegant vs spice and hearty.
