Pathetic hyderabadi cuisine

"Hyderabadi biryani"....good ,bad or even worst....but its the only thing that u get in every nook and corner of the city.Any other food is quite horrible.I am refering to those places where it would cost till Rs.500 for 2 people,not any star hotels.U take the chicken butter masala...it would taste exactly the same as the kadai paneer,trust me.The only difference is the chkn and the panner.Gravy is the same.The word "spicy" has a different meanig in this city of nizams.It simply means a  lot of chilly powder.Most of the places serve pathetic biryanis....dry rice and hard chicken pieces , no matter whether its the most famous of the biryani joints or any roadside cafe.People here mostly go by the quantity.And only god knows how can somebody eat a pathetic sweet dish like khubani ka meetha.I dont know,but i feel there is a general concept here that if u put all the good and costly items together and cook ,then the final product also has to be a good one.Like the dry fruit laddu and the kajoo-anjeer cutlet.These are perhaps a few of the most horrible sweets that i have ever had in my life.The choice is so few.For breakfast u are left with the same pale idly,vadas,dosa.....its the same rice item,but in different forms.For evening u are left out with a few handful of "bajjis" and pakodas.Now,many of u might not agree with me.U may say "go .....and u get the best biryani,go ....and u get the best kebabs.Hyderabadi food has this and that and so on".....but how often do u find them in normal joints???  Should i run all over the city to have a good non-veg meal? i hope not.
