Old City: Fight Over Biriyani Makes Person Dial Telangana HM!

Biriyani is a famous dish from Hyderabad and the Hyderabadi Biriyani has fans from other regions too. Even in the northern belt, we can see Hyderabadi Biriyani hotels there. A recent survey by Swiggy and Zomato says Biriyani was the top-ordered dish in Hyderabad.

The Muslim-majority old city has a bunch of Biriyani hotels that run till midnight. Of late, the government is setting some rules for the eateries that after 11 PM, the establishments should be shut. But the AIMIM is working on easing the rules on the working hours of hotels.

A person from the old city is believed to have called Telangana Home Minister Mahmood Ali and asked what are the working hours of the Biriyani hotels. The persona reportedly called the Home Minister at midnight which irked him.

Not happy with this, the Home Minister is said to have lashed out at the person and asked if it is any time to call him that too for a Biryani hotel. The locals were also shocked to see the person calling the Home Minister directly.

With the issue reaching the Home Minister of Telangana Mahmood Ali, who also holds Prisons and Fire Services Ministries, the government might take a key call on the working hours of the hotels.

It is said that a few people gathered at a Biriyani hotel in Old City for Biriyani and an argument broke out between the owners of the hotel and the customers. The issue reached the point where the person called the Home Minister of the state.
