In a recent interview with Curly Tales host Kamiya Jani, entrepreneur and philanthropist Upasana Konidela opened up about her love for Hyderabad’s food. While the iconic Charminar was her first pick, it was her second choice Tolichowki that sparked curiosity. Known for its diverse food scene, Tolichowki stood out in the conversation as a place close to her heart. Speaking from her home in Jubilee Hills, Upasana called Tolichowki the best place for authentic food in the city. And she is not wrong, the neighbourhood is a local favourite, packed with everything from traditional Hyderabadi dishes to rich Arabian flavours.
Tolichowki is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. It’s one of the few areas in Hyderabad where you can find Hyderabadi, Nizami, Arabian, and even African food all on the same street. Especially during Ramadan, the neighbourhood transforms into a buzzing food bazaar filled with sights, smells, and sizzling flavours.
Famous for its Hyderabadi biryani and haleem, this place draws massive crowds year-round.
