Shah Ghouse

Where Hyderabad has eaten since 1985.

The Biryani

First, the biryani.

The dish that built the name.

The Street Favourite

Chicken 65. Rumali.

Some legends are ordered by name.

From the Street

The Shawarma.

Special Shawarma — ask for it by name.

The Dawat

One table. Forty years of appetite.

  • Chilli Chicken
  • Mutton Biryani
  • Tandoori Platter

The Last Ritual

Hyderabadi Chai.

Every meal here ends the same way. It has since 1985.

Four decades.
One flame.

In 1985, Alhaj Mohammed Moinuddin opened Ghouse Café. Forty years and 7 kitchens later, Hyderabad still eats here.

The next generation joined the business in 2000, the year the Shah Ali Banda kitchen opened. The family has been opening them across the city ever since — Tolichowki, Gachibowli, Kondapur, L.B. Nagar, and Lakdikapul in 2022.
