Lots of restaurants to gorge...
by lubna-s
Lots of restaurants to gorge some really exotic Mughalai Cuisine, but my favourites are Orchid's, Alex's Kitchen, Shadab Restaurant, Sahara Dhaba and many more.
Orchid's is essentially a Continental restaurant, it may seem expensive to some, but is ideal for cozy dinners.
Alex's Kitchen specializes in Chinese Food.
Shadab Restaurant located in Old City is by far the best of them as far as tasting the authentic Mughlai dishes is concerned. Its also very reasonable.
Sahara Dhaba at the outskirts is a popular haunt if you want to go a little far from the city on weekends, and what's more its damn cheap. Orchid's offers amazing array of dishes, and I like Apollo fish from here.
At Alex's Kitchen I like the American Chopsuey, apart from the regular Chinese fare.
Chicken Biryani at Shadab Restaurant!!!!
Sahara dhaba is good for those who prefer a bit of veg and non-veg, tandoori chicken and butter naan are the specialities.
The Largest Film Studio Complex in the World
by muddybok
It was printed "The Largest Film Studio Complex in the World", but i think it also deserve to be the lousiest film complex in the world. I won't doubt about the size of the complex, but i really think this is the biggest con joint i step in during my trip to South India.
I am quite impressed that Ramoji can produce good movies out of some old mockups of some famous landmarks wannabe. You can hardly find marble floor in the complex, but normal cement floor painted with white or pink paint. Of course, most of these marble had been faded beyond recognition since they had never been repainted after the first coat.

"Beautiful City"
Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh is a bustling 400 year old metropolis.The city is cosmopolitan, and is richly endowed with a variety of cultures. The city presents an attractive amalgam of old world charm together with ebullience of growth and enterprise. Beautiful old edifices built in the medieval, large glass and chrome temples of commerce.
Hyderabad is at an altitude of 536 meters with the mean summer temperature going up to a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius and the minimum average temperature being around 22 degrees. The maximum winter temperature is around 22 with the minimum going down to around 12 degrees.
The City of Hyderabad is famous for its minarets and its pearl bazaar. Pearl from all over the world are said to come to Hyderabad because the artisans here are skilled in piercing and stringing pearls without damaging them. The city's gypsy tribes called "Lambadas" and "Banjaras" are known throughout the country for their colorful costumes - and Hyderabadi cuisine is much sought after
