this might be
one of the happiest days of my life
[Music]
my first day here in hyderabad and as
soon as i woke up i knew there was only
one thing i want for
breakfast right there the famous
hyderabad bianni i know i had a lot of
beer on these on this trip so far but
come on
it's like one of the greatest dishes
ever and hyderabad beyond is known to be
one of the best
in the entire country and this place
right behind me paradise supposedly
makes one of the best versions of this
dish
in the city so it's sort of like the
best of the best
which was a great movie by the way all
right let's get this food day started
and i came here first today because this
place actually sells out and
what i'm getting are these uh little
chicken kebab
thingies here little drumsticks after i
had the really good drumsticks in
chinese yum couldn't really get it out
of my mind
and the biryani i'm going for
is the special supreme mutton biryani
and this thing
it says a magnificent extra large
portion of the world's favorite birani
great for sharing
or great for just me and supposedly the
way biani is made in this city
it's really different than other places
because they don't sear the meat and
rice beforehand
just put the raw meat in and cover it
with rice and there's also supposed to
be a lot more spices in this birani as
well my first meal of the day
cannot wait for this oh my god
oh it is here happy day
no this is like so so exciting for me
because it's like looking
at a treasure site you got fried garlic
on top some cilantro
just the most fragrance of rices
the treasure is really deep down inside
where the beautiful
delicate succulent mutton is buried
god i'm excited but before i get to this
i gotta get you the kebabs you know
you gotta save the main event for last
the kebabs
also look really really good nice and
charred
look at this covered in spices and herbs
oh that is juicy chicken you guys see
that
oh my gosh
oh my gosh that's
that chicken i'm so sorry
let me hang on a second i just want to
apologize to you guys because
you know i mean look it's just such a
beautiful dish right here that that
really neglected you like
i thought yours is gonna be okay tasting
i didn't know you're gonna be so
magnificent
this chicken is one of the greatest
pieces of chicken
i have ever had it's ridiculously tender
and juicy
the spice oh my god the masala they use
on this chicken
it's borderline transformative i feel
like i'm being teleported
to a land of spice where chickens just
just ran
around all through it and lived their
whole life and then was cooked and
turned into this
every single morso
anger the manager i was just saying how
delicious this is and you're saying dip
it in the chutney it becomes better
i don't even know how this can even
become better but i mean how does
perfection become better
but but i'm going to try and see
dip the chicken in the chutney
wow oh he's right with some of that
chutney
it gives it an even more flavorful pop
and there's yogurt in there
so there's an element of creaminess as
well and then the line just just brings
this
hints this stash of beautiful refreshing
citrus flavor
i would come to india just for this
chicken alone
that was the british thing greatest
chicken i've had i think in my life the
appetizer
was surprisingly mind-blowing now let's
dig into the main course
look how fluffy this rice is
you guys see that it's it's touching the
rice and the massage
i dropped like a like like six grains
if there wasn't people around i'd be
eating off the floor right now hey check
this out let me show you what
deliciousness raining down looks like
i would say we were good together
we had fun i didn't even notice this
but check it out this birani actually
has three layers the top is rice
then in the middle is the masala that's
basically the essence of a biryani then
at the bottom
look at this layer heavenly mutton wow
you can actually adjust it
to be like spicy or less spicy this is
really like a food archaeological dig
and the greatest stuff is on the bottom
here we go
let the did continue so after the top
layer
you get to you get to the masala we're
still digging
still at layer two still not at the
bottom yet
still layer two guys we have struck
mutton
take a look look at this i see it i see
it
i'm gonna excavate it there it is i
really do feel like an archaeologist i'm
dusting off the rice
oh my goodness here let me show you what
i just saw look at that
oh fattiness richness of the meat
is on full display in the first bite i
just want some rice that's all i want
i feel like every single second i was
chewing
the flavor profile changes at first i
tasted something citrusy
then the fragrance of the rice after
that i was hit by the spices
and then the subtle mutton flavor that's
already engrained into the rice itself
now let's taste the real treasure
[Music]
that much will provide me with sweet
longing drinks for the rest of my life
again the flavor of the mutton seems to
change as i chew as well as first
you just get a taste of the succulent
meat which literally
melts in your mouth and then just a
combination of spices and heat that
really
just transports you to somewhere
beautiful and then when everything is
over your tastebuds is just crying out
begging for more of that stuff and i was
told to add
some of this gravy mix it around
[Music]
that gravy does a lot to emphasize the
spices but i do
want to add a little crunch to
everything and maybe a little chutney to
it
i don't know if you're supposed to do
that or not but i love this chutney
i love the crunchiness and the slight
sweetness
the onion provides i think that's a
great addition to the birani this has
been
an incredible starch in my food day so
far and
i'm not going to forget about the
chicken because even though i'm eating
the birani it's so delicious
i'm still thinking about this chicken
literally
you know the best chicken i've ever had
in my life this is one of the happiest
biryani days of my life so after the
biryani anger insisted i get this
dessert what's it called
curbani is ice cream with with this
delightful
apricot syrup and you said it's only for
marriages supposedly you find it in
marriages in india
well i felt like i just married that
chicken today so
[Music]
wow
[Music]
listen to this man you can't go wrong
that's a great recommendation well this
is
delicious this apricot is amazing
there's some spices in here
it's just like every other indian
dessert i've had
it's really sweet but this one i really
like super sweet but at the same time
delicious and refined just like a good
marriage all right let me finish this
and we're gonna go get more food
hey guys for my second place today i am
at hotel shadab and this place
also supposedly has one of the best
iranians in the city
and as i always say one good birani
deserves another
right so this one is is not as big again
just overflowing
the plate i mean can i i'm gonna
actually put this in my big plate
because i don't want to waste any uh
any single grain of rice
that's pretty it fits right away it's
almost like a half and half kind of
thing
the white plain fluffy rice is on one
side
and the rice with all the masala is on
the other i got the chicken this time
because i got the mutton last time now
i'm thinking there's going to be a
treasure waiting for me inside so
once again let's go digging
we have struck chicken oh look at this
i'm parting the bianni oh this is a
whole
chicken leg in here that's buried
underneath this impressive
fragrant bit of rice look at this
that's purity wow
that's all that's needed to break apart
this chicken a little spoon
not even exerting much effort this
chicken is just coming off the bones
that's a tender chicken i just need to
try the rice first
first the plain rice
giving this rice on this side it's just
immensely fragrant i feel like i'm
eating
the first light snow of winter except
for
the snow our grains of rice and the
seasoned
rice with the masala yeah let me let me
make the perfect
rice ball here there we go here we go
here we go
wow so much spices in here this rice is
zestier
than what i've had in mumbai
actually it's even zestier than paradise
bianni and the rice
here that's different than a paradise
rice is that the rice is actually really
moist and i think this is like maybe
juice from the chicken
and let's put a little of the yogurt
sauce on the rice squeeze just a little
bit of the lime
mix it up a little bit
there's a little bit of fermentedness to
that sauce and i think which really does
a lot
to highlight the fragrance of the rice
and the spices itself
now i cannot wait to get the bite of
this chicken you see how that's just
covered in spices
[Music]
oh wow that chicken's nice let me just
take another bite
with some of the meat i just pulled off
here
wow chicken is so incredibly flavorful
and tender
it doesn't have as much of a as a
roasted flavor
as the previous appetizer i had in
paradise but this chicken
definitely fits with the biryani and
when you take a bite
you can tell they belong together i love
how this birani also
as you dig deep you guys see how like
juicy glistening the rice is i think
that's all because the chicken
the chicken juice is kind of like
falling into the rice that's some of the
most flavorful rice this side of asia
something else i got here is uh it's a
chicken gourani and this is a really
popular dish that they recommended to me
i'm not going to say no to that and they
give it to me with a side of butter none
that's a lot of butter on that nut it's
almost like i want some none with my
butter please
and this is what they gave me look at
that
soup just like a net i'll show you i i
kind of failed there to get a single
piece of chicken
they'll be next time that's a good
recommend
on those videos if you guys can see i
feel like this curry
it's got like 10 000 types of spices in
here and it is like
flaming hot let me get some get some
chicken onto my nan here
oh
[Music]
this man awesome the non-first of all
nice and crispy
i love the cashews they put in here
slightly crunchy a little fatty flavor
from the nut the chicken itself
they definitely roasted the chicken
before they put it in here that chicken
has got some
great smoky flavor oh this is really
spicy
you should just call this my spicy curry
[Music]
you should get this if you ever come
here and one last thing i got to get
here
i know another beyoni am i crazy am i
am i really am i crazy to get another
delicious plate of biryani
on one of my last days here in india
that i know i'm gonna miss as soon as i
get on the plane if you call that crazy
then yes lock me up because i'm guilty
this is a little something a little
different this is actually a prombiani
i'm pretty familiar with this procedure
by now i feel like i am now the world
renowned authority
on how to dig up meat in a birani look
at this
okay this prawn looks like it's been
sitting in an active volcano
for a number of years this i'm just
gonna go ahead and kind of mix it
with everything and just take a good old
bite
don't knock the prawn biryani before you
try it because the prawn
is just beautifully seasoned wonderfully
tender i really like the masala they put
on the prawn
wow i don't know
i kind of like this almost more than a
chicken you know having biryani in this
country was really
really a mind-blowing cultural
experience because i've only had this in
the states and it really tastes nothing
like this
that's the fragrance flavored bomb of
rice and meat that it is here and having
some of the best birani and some of the
best places in a city that is really
known
throughout india for having great
miranni it's just an experience that
will remain with me
pretty much for the rest of my life and
of course i wanted to try this place as
well before i leave because a lot of
people recommended paradise and they
recommend it here so i had to do them
both and what's kind of funny is that as
much as i love the biryani in both
places but man that roast chicken at
paradise
that things won my heart in a special
way but anyway if you guys are ever in
hyderabad
definitely try these places out and
honestly i can't really tell which place
is better
i feel like the biryani here is zestier
it's more the rice is more moist
i think if i had to choose i think the
biryani here is better but again
love the roast chicken at paradise it's
one of the all-time
best chickens i've ever had and guys of
course both locations are listed for you
in my description box
if you are ever here try them out let me
know which one you like more and
yeah let me know if you fell in love
with that chicken as well also i just
want to note in this video um every time
i publish a video a lot of you guys
message me which i really appreciate
asking to hang out or asking to give me
recommendations for the places i am at
because of the editing process for these
videos i can't really edit the videos
while i'm on the trip so i have to wait
till i get back and then
usually there's videos waiting to be
launched before that so
when you see these videos uh typically
i'm no longer
in the location i am right now so if you
want to know where i am
currently definitely follow my instagram
accounts which is listed for you
in my description box as well again
thank you all so much for watching
and until we eat again i'll see you
later
