Paradise

Hyderabad


Paradise is synonymous with biryani in these parts. The main Secunderabad location has five different dining areas: head to the attractive 'roof garden', complete with whirring fans, or pay an AC surcharge to eat inside. Also serves lots of (less pleasing) Chinese dishes.

There are over a dozen Paradise restaurants across the city including a large, modern branch at Khairatabad close to Abids and Banjara Hills.
