Best Haleem spots in Hyderabad

Peace be upon those who have given us so much to cherish. Every year Ramzan unfolds a delicious story. Hyderabad’s culture of Haleem mimics the city itself – steeped in myth and multiple histories, a blend of nostalgia and a touch of contemporary, constantly tweaked to everyone’s liking. According to the Haleem Maker’s Association, it is a Rs 500 crore business this year – one that has, like Hyderabad, grown exponentially over the last two decades. And in that strange, sentimental way that food and place connect, Hyderabadi Haleem evokes in its enthusiasts, long memories of the city, and sometimes harbingers of its future. With over 6,000 stalls across the city to choose from, your drooled face would crave for the best. So let us honour and give you the best places to have Haleem, this year.

Shah Ghouse: The legendary restaurant has come down the ladder this time but still makes a point to be among the top three. The mad rush at Charminar branch or Tolichowki testifies this very fact.

Pista House: Pista House has become synonymous with Hyderabad and Haleem. The place has often served good Haleem for decades and has never compromised on the quality. This one is the only firm that makes a good business in the city as well as other parts of the country. Recent reports say that the owners are planning to start a chain of new branches in Saudi.
