Zafrani Zaika

Do you irresistibly go nod nod nod when it comes to Biriyani? If yes then I am going to tell you about a place you are gonna love me for… the finest Hyderabadi Gosht Biriyani in the city is served at Zafrani Zaika which is located right next to Bikanerwala, Chanakyapuri. What makes the food different from other joints is that the food has a very traditional feel that takes you back to the Nizami era and makes you feel the royal flavour of Mughal couisines.

The food is classic, extremely delicious with a subtle touch of Hyderabad. Each dish is cooked to perfection, the specialities being Shahjahani Shikhampur which is the filling of curd and chopped coriander with tender stone ground lamb.

At zafrani Zaika they stone ground the pieces of meat instead of mincing them which is again a rare quality.

I would recommend you to try Seekh pasanda which is a flattened piccata of lamb blended with ginger-garlic marinate.  It is a delicious dish you’ll rarely find at many outlets.

For veg lovers, there’s Charrey Aloo Pyaz Biryani, Teen Motiyan Biryani, Mausami Subz Biryani, Kathel Khas Biryani, Subz Nihari Biryani and Kastoori Paneer Biryani.

Zafrani Zaika excels in both tandoori and curries section. The Biriyani being the main speciality, every dish at Zafrani Zaika has its own character with the trademark Hyderabadi accent.

To sum up, this is the perfect choice for Mughal Cuisine lovers and they get full marks for the service, the fool and the lounge-look ambience that adds to the magic!
