Hyderabad, with its deep-rooted heritage and cosmopolitan vibe, has always been a melting pot of cultures, and nowhere is this fusion more evident than in its food.
In recent years, the influence of Arabic cuisine has surged in the city, with dishes like mandi becoming crowd favorites. Mandi, a fragrant rice dish traditionally served with slow-cooked meat, hails from Yemen and has found a special place in the hearts and plates of Hyderabadis. This culinary connection not only reflects the city’s historic ties to the Arab world but also its openness to embrace and adapt global flavors.
