No Booking Needed
We are a walk-in restaurant — just come in and we will seat you. We do take bookings, and they are worth making for a large group or for lunch, our busiest stretch.
We also cater events and have a private dining room. Both need arranging in advance — call and tell us the date, the numbers and what you would like cooked.

How to Reach Pathergatti Road
The Old City rewards patience. Here is the easiest way in.
Head for the Charminar
Every driver and every map knows the Charminar. Use it as your destination rather than our street address — Pathergatti Road runs north from it, and we are about 800 metres along, roughly a ten-minute walk.
Take an auto-rickshaw the last stretch
This is what most regulars do. Autos navigate the narrow lanes far more easily than a car and can drop you at the door.
Or park near the Charminar and walk
Use the paid parking areas around the monument. It is about ten minutes on foot from there, and the walk north through Ghansi Bazaar is part of the experience.
By Metro
The nearest Metro stations are on the Green Line toward Falaknuma. From the station, an auto-rickshaw covers the remaining distance in a few minutes.
About parking
There is effectively no dedicated parking on Pathergatti Road, and the surrounding lanes are congested for most of the day. Plan for this — it is the single thing first-time visitors underestimate.
During Ramadan
The Old City is at its busiest through Ramadan, especially around iftar, when haleem draws very large crowds. Arrive early, and allow considerably more travel time than usual.
Best hours to arrive
Early morning is calm and unhurried. Lunch from 1 PM to 3 PM is the busiest stretch of the day. Late evening is lively but moves quickly.
We Open at 4:30 in the Morning
And we do not close until one o’clock the following night. Whenever you arrive, the kitchen is running.
