The best restaurants in Hyderabad in 2019

From street food to biriyani, you'll find the best of Hyderabad here

An infographic made for THE WEEK India's Best Restaurants 2019 special | Syam Krishnan, Sreemanikandan S.

Methodology

THE WEEK correspondents held panel discussions with food experts to rate the best restaurants in seven cities—Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai and Kochi.

The best restaurants in Hyderabad for several categories, such as fine dining, north Indian, south Indian, global and regional food, were selected and ranked by the experts comprising chefs, restaurateurs, food critics, food entrepreneurs, food writers and bloggers, and food enthusiasts

Street food is not ranked because the cuisine is vastly different, even within a city. THE WEEK’s Culine Scale was applied to all other categories—five stars for the top 30 per cent, four stars for the next 30 per cent and three stars for the last 40 per cent.

For Hyderabad, the panel comprised Mamatha Mallipudi, Pallab De, Sabyasachi Roy Chaudhuri, Aarti David and Vishal Fernandes.
