Here’s what to know about the new Hyderabad House in Fort Worth.
What’s on the menu at Hyderabad House?
The menu features Hyderabadi food, a cuisine that originated from India in the early 16th century when the Mughals ruled the country. Cooking techniques come from Persia, Central Asia and the Middle East but are primarily blended with South Indian flavors. Hyderabadi dishes include aromatic spices, marinated meats and slow-cooking techniques.
According to its website, Hyderabad House in Fort Worth is known for its biryani rice– a rice dish with vegetables, choice of protein and fragrant spices like turmeric, cumin and cardamom.
Their menu is growing as the kitchen staff and team get acclimated to the Fort Worth crowd. Their menu is extensive. Here’s a summary of the menu:
- Naan bread, sold plain or with butter, garlic or tandoori spice
- Chicken kebabs
- Fried rice and noodles
- Curries, tiki masala and butter masala with choice of chicken, shrimp, lamb or paneer (an Indian cheese).
