look | Why do Hyderabadis line up at this hotel only at 5 in the morning?

look | Why is Hotel Nayab so popular in Hyderabad?

Irani tea and Osmania biscuits, biryani, haleem and kebabs… no, these are not the only delicacies in Hyderabad, the city of Nizams. Especially when it comes to breakfast, the traditional breakfast in Hyderabad stands out from the rest.

So, what are we talking about?

This is Khichdi-Khatta, Paya-Naan and Keema-Roti.

To experience this unusual breakfast option, let’s take a tour of the old city of Hyderabad, from where we head straight to Hotel Nayab near Charminar.

In Nayab, right at the entrance are huge bhagons. In them, the broth can be seen bubbling. Every table inside the restaurant is occupied. Some are enjoying Lukmi with tea and some are enjoying fresh tandoor roti with kheema.

Why do people relish these dishes in these unlikely times?
