Off topic:- I am going to Hyderabad in the next weeks to setup our offshore team. What are some restaurants, museums and parks that are worthwhile. Any recommendations on the equivalent of a central park in Hyderabad?

TBH, Hyderabad is quite underwhelming from a tourism perspective.

From the slim pickings we have, in no particular order:

- High tea and heritage tour at the Falknuma Palace

- Salar Jung Museum: The Veiled Rebecca and Mephistopheles and Margaretta are the highlights. The Musical Clock is vastly overrated.

- Chowmahalla Palace

- The Nizam's Museum

- Qutub Shahi Tombs

- Jewel of the Nizam for upscale Hyderabadi dining

- Burma Burma Resturant and Tea Room for vegetarian Asian fusion cuisine

- Ramoji Film City if you're into that sort of a thing.

I was last there 10+ years ago, but the lake in the center of the city (https://maps.app.goo.gl/yVzEBmEbc8Qu6rC98) had a few parks around it and was pleasant to walk around.

Biryani is the local favorite food. Paradise is(was?) a popular, if touristy, place to get it: https://www.paradisefoodcourt.in/

Golconda Fort was impressive: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/india/andhra-pradesh/hyderabad-...

If you have some time, visit Vizag. It has some cool beaches, and the city has both hills and beaches. I liked the vibe of the city.

Also visit the Buddha statue in Hussein Sagar.

Sometimes INTACH Hyderabad has good heritage walks. Might wanna check with them.

Try the tea there - The Hyderabadi/Irani chai (will be very sweet but goodness it's tasty!) - Cafe Niloufer. The cafe is named after the Turkish daughter in law of the erstwhile Nizam. She was/is really loved there.

Go to KBR. The walk isn't too bad, and there's peacocks around, if that's your sort of thing.
what company? i'm looking for work if youre hiring
