Talk about Hyderabad and what comes to mind is it's Biryani, Haleem and Irani Chai (Tea). A trip to Hyderabad is incomplete without savoring Irani Chai.
Irani Chai has a strong distinct flavor and color. It is sweetened with sugar, giving it a flavor more like a syrup than tea. If you prefer, ask for a sugarless option, although not all places have this option.
Many Iranis (Persians) migrated to Hyderabad during Qutub Shahi period in around 1500 AD. Irani Chai has been the result of cultural blending of the Iranis and the existing Hyderabadi culture.
