what to eat,where to go,what to buy--in a nutshell by vpas
What to eat--Paradise Biriyani is the best.You also have parcel section if you dont like the ambience of the place.It is the yummiest biriyani in the whole of Hyderabad.It is in Secunderabad and anyone would direct you there.The area itself is called Paradise!You could aslo try Hyderabad House's Biriyani.They have many outlets all over Hyderabad-- begumpet,masab tank,toli chowki,banjara hills etc..The double ka meetha here is very tasty.
While in Hyderabad,do have Khubbani ka meetha which is a sweet made from fresh apricots and is a local delicacy.
Shopping
Just go to Charminar area,Laad Bazaar/Chudi bazaar where you will find the best bangles.You have to bargain.
You could also go to a shop called Jaju if you are interested in ghaghras and sarees with handwork and zardosi.It is in Begum bazaar.It is very reasonably priced and there is no bargaining.
Near Jaju(on the way) you will find an area called Goshamahal,where you will find many shops selling glass bangles.
In case you are staying at Secunderabad,then go to James street galli in General bazaar(this is very near Paradise biriyani place,so you could combine the two)Here you would find usual clothes,sarees and other shops(nothing unusual though,it is a regular shopping street similar to ones in Mumbai)
For dinner,you could go to --
Exotica in road no.12,Banjara hills(it has a beautiful ambience)
Water front-- in necklace road(very posh,facing the lake)
Rajdhani(perhaps you have eaten in their bombay branch,food is great--typical rajasthani food served in traditional style)
You should not miss the sound and light show in Golconda fort.
