Having received an invitation to try food at an eatery going by the name “Smoked Biryani House”, I was intrigued as to why smoked would have been prefixed to Biryani! I was told that the joint serves authentic Hyderabadi cuisine and I was eager to test the claim Hyderabadi being one of my favorit…

The mythological Paris raided Sparta to win the heart of the beautiful Helen in the ages past. Paris, the Greek chef specially flown in from Kalamata by the Greek Embassy, New Delhi, set out to win the hearts of the Indians through his equally attractive fare. On a cool and pleasant November even…
