Best biryani in India

Best biryani outlets in India! , we just had a long discussion thread on at indiamike ,and after dozen or so postings, the master list , for you.Am looking forward to the biryani at hotel alfa ,near andheri , mumbai ( close to our campus ),if you are near any one of these places, just run there ! Nothing like a fabulous yummy biryani.

Bangalore – Samarkand in Commercial Street , Nandini – there are 4 of them , Hyderabad in Koramangala, Biriyani Merchant in Castle Street

Chennai – Usilampatti on LB Road, Ponnuswamy in Ethiraj Salai, Karaikudi on RK Salai, Malgudi in Savera Hotel in RK Salai, Anjappar on Nungambakkam High Road and Banana Leaf in Indira Nagar

Hyderabad - Bawarchi, Paradise, Madeena, Basera, Garden Restaurant (close to Paradise), Niagara , Azizia, Madina (near Charminar - the original), The Nizam Club (in my opinion the 'real deal'), if you can find/persuade a member to take you there. Banjara Darbar and Narmada

A must have after Biryani, Khubani-Ka-Meetha and Paan. A great Hyderabadi tradition

Shoranur railway station

Calicut - Sagar, Lucky

Nagpur - Babbu Ki Biryani, Mominpura

Delhi - Kake Da Dhaba

Royal mughal kitchen is called karim's. This is the restaurant run by the descendants of the Royal cooks of the Mughals. While this lineage might well be alleged, once you eat the food, you will agree that they ‘must’ be he actual royal cooks. The original one is in a bylane, very close to the Jama Masjid. The other one, Dastar Khwan-e-Karim, is in Nizamuddin somewhere near the Durgah. And, believe it or not, they have a website: http://www.karimhoteldelhi.com/index1.html so go on, look, eat..i recommend this place to each and all.

Mumbai - Alfa, Andheri West

Nashik - Mazda Cafe, Old Agra Road

Mysore – RRR, Ghandi Square

Calcutta - Aminia, Nizams, Bedwin, Shiraz and Zeeshan.

Indore - Pasha Ki Biriyani - this guy is an Afaghani - His show is located in Anand Bazar. Nafeez - This is amongst the best resturant for Biriyani and Haleem and is l ocated at Saket

Chicago - Gareeb Nawaz on Devon Avenue in Chicago

S'pore - "Andhra curry" in little India

Sunnyvale Downtown - Turmerik

Mtn. Vw. - Shiva's, Amber

Santana Row - Amber.

from a 3 yr stay @ hyderbad, i would say CAFE BAHAR(Basheer Bagh, near Assembly) tops the list of biryanis; it's easily THE best unknown destination for biryani lovers!
