AUTHENTIC Southern Indian THALI at Taj Mahal Restaurant | Hyderabad, India
I have been in love with India ever since the first time I visited back in January of 2018. Eleven months later, in November, I spent nearly three weeks experiencing the rich history, fascinating culture, friendly people, and mouthwatering food of this beautiful and charming country. This time, I teamed up with my buddy Sam, and we had the time of our lives!

Our third day in Hyderabad with our friend Sailesh continued as we made a stop at Taj Mahal Restaurant for an authentic southern Indian Thali. A Thali is a large platter that is filled with different Indian dishes, including breads, rice, chutneys, and various curries. Sailesh explains to me that while northern Indian Thali's contain lots of breads, the Thali's in southern India are mostly rice-based. Come along with us as we eat some amazing southern Indian Thali!

This Thali looked amazing and included various dishes made of potato, carrot, vada soaked in curd, as well as puri, yogurt, flavored rice, fried onion fritters, corn, sambar, and more. I couldn’t wait to dive in!
The first thing I tried was the fried onion, which was delicious! The corn dish was super fresh and contained carrots, cabbage, and coconut. It was so good and really unique! Next, I tried a piece of the puri with a dish made of spinach, cabbage, and nuts. The puri was thicker than the one I’d had for breakfast that morning, and the dish was really nice. The next curry I tried contained green beans, carrots, and peppers, and was one of the best curries I’d ever had! It was crunchy and super flavorful.
Next, we added the rice to our plates, added the dal to some of it, mixed it with our fingers, and then ate it with our hands. I’d never eaten rice with my hands, but it was awesome! It was super light, not spicy at all. Next was the tomato rasam with a very thin and crispy flatbread called papad. The combination was unreal! These two foods were made to be eaten together! Next up was the rice with sambar and lots of vegetables. It was so tasty! The mix of the soft rice, flavorful sambar, and crispy papad was out of this world! Next was the curd, which I’m not really a fan of, but we added a spicy mango pickle to it. The curd was super thick!
Up next was a yellow rice dish called pulihora, which came with a dark green chili, but it wasn’t hot. That was followed by the vada soaked in a watered-down curd. It was really nice! This curd was less thick than the previous one. It had a little bit of cardamom in it, and I liked it more than the other one. It kind of reminded me of a watery rice pudding. This was so different from a northern Thali, but just as delicious.
After that, it was time for Sam to try everything with our friend Rakesh! He loved mixing everything with his hands, especially the curd, rice, and carrot curry!
I hope you enjoyed watching me, Sam, Sailesh, and Rakesh enjoy this incredible southern Indian Thali! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below!

Top 10 Indian Street Foods in Hyderabad, India | The BEST INDIAN Street Food in Hyderabad
???? Top 10 Hyderabad:

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
In November of 2018, I visited India for the second time to explore the divine food and fascinating culture of the subcontinent. The second city I visited, Hyderabad, is well known for its cuisine, so my friend Sam and I headed out, with a lot of help from Uber, to experience the flavors that make Hyderabadi food some of the best in the country. Here are my top ten Indian street food dishes in Hyderabad!
1. Giant Dosa (Chutney’s Restaurant)
This monstrous dish is a four-foot-long, rolled pancake that is made from a fermented batter and has a potato-based filling. The dosa was flaky and was served with several mouthwatering chutneys. The coconut chutney in particular blew my mind! My favorite food experience in Hyderabad!
2. Biryani (Paradise Restaurant)
For the best biryani in Hyderabad, Sam and I went to Paradise Restaurant, where we ordered four different varieties of this popular layered rice dish: chicken, mutton, egg, and veg with paneer (a type of fresh, un-aged cheese that doesn’t melt). My favorites were the mutton and veg! Both were outstanding!
3. Pizza Dosa (Ram Ki Bandi)
The next day, Sam and I went to Ram Ki Bandi to try a special variation of dosa: the pizza dosa! Instead of potato, this crispy, buttery dosa contains traditional pizza toppings, including lots of gooey, melted cheese. This unique, Italian-inspired dosa was phenomenal! Anyone visiting Hyderabad has to try it!
4. Idli (Ram Ki Bandi)
Another mind-blowing dish Sam and I tried at Ram Ki Bandi is idli, a nutty, spongy, and savory rice cake that is made from de-husked and fermented lentils and rice. This popular breakfast food is usually served with sambar, chutneys, or spicy fish curries. It was out of this world and I couldn’t get enough of it!
5. Bamboo Chicken (Ulavacharu Restaurant)
At Ulavachuru Restaurant, Sam and I found bamboo chicken, a chicken curry that is made by marinating raw, skinless chicken in several spices, stuffing the chicken into a bamboo shoot that is sealed with banana leaves or palm leaves, and then cooked on charcoal for at least 45 minutes. It was easily one of the best chicken curries I’ve ever had in my life!
6. Pulao (Ulavacharu Restaurant)
While we were at Ulavacharu Restaurant, Sam and I also found another incredible dish: pulao. Pulao is a traditional South Asian mixed rice dish that contains meat and vegetables and is bursting with signature, mouthwatering Indian flavors. Sam and I tried many different varieties and we loved every single one of them!
7. Southern Indian Thali (Taj Mahal Restaurant)
At the Taj Mahal Restaurant, Sam and I tried Southern Indian Thali, an assortment of dishes that is served on a round platter. Unlike Northern thali, which is served with breads, Southern thali is served with rice. There were so many fresh, vibrant flavors that I didn’t want to stop eating! I loved mixing the curries with the rice and eating it with my hands.
8. Biscuits and Chai (Nimrah Café and Bakery)
Nimrah Café and Bakery’s signature buttery and freshly made biscuits are every bit as delicious as advertised. I tried their coconut, chocolate, and cream biscuits, and when I dipped them into the creamy chai, it took the biscuits to a whole new level! I highly recommend this sensational café to anyone looking for a delightful snack in Hyderabad!
9. Vada Salty Doughnut (Minerva Coffee Shop)
For more south Indian breakfast foods, Sam and I headed over to Minerva Coffee Shop, where we found the vada, a crunchy, savory doughnut that was served with coconut chutney and ginger chutney. Each bite was so intense and flavorful that I kept going back for more!
10. Uttapam Thick Pancake (Minerva Coffee Shop)
The Uttapam is a distinctly Indian take on a pancake, and is served with a combination of cashews, vegetables, and chutneys. Various textures and unique flavor combinations makes it a can’t-miss for anyone visiting Hyderabad. The ginger and coconut chutneys gave me delicious, contrasting flavors on my palette, and I loved every bite!

EXOTIC Southern INDIAN FOOD - 10 Unique Dishes at Ulavacharu Restaurant | Hyderabad, India
???? SAM:
???? WATCH: Indian Veg Food
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
In November of 2018, I went on the most epic trip of my life: a 21-day-long trip to India, a country I fell in love with the first time I visited just eleven months earlier. This time, I went with my good friend Sam, and we set out to explore seven cities in different parts of the country.
The second city of our trip, Hyderabad, is well known all over the world for its amazing cuisine, so the two of us decided to visit one of the city’s most popular restaurants, Ulavacharu, to try some of the best southern Indian food in Hyderabad!
Ulavacharu is an authentic traditional cuisine restaurant that has won over millions of hearts of visitors from all over the world. This popular restaurant operates with the goal of reinventing long-forgotten recipes; bringing authentic, unique, and original dishes together under one roof; and keeping ancient dishes that were prepared by their ancestors alive for current and future generations.
First up was a creamy and buttery complimentary Indian sweet that contained caramel. It was very sweet and I only ate one!
Our first main dish was the Korameenu Tandoori Fish, which is made with masala and other spices and served alongside a mint chutney. It wasn’t as soft or flaky as a regular fish and actually reminded me of mutton, texture-wise, but it was fantastic! The smoky tandoori flavor paired really well with the mint of the chutney. If you order this, just be sure to look out for stray bones or spines that may not be removed during the fileting process!
Next up was Bangla Kodi, which is small nuggets of chicken masala wrapped in a potato. It was really good! Crunchy and not too spicy, just a little peppery, and reminded me of popcorn chicken wrapped in a crunchy potato.
Next, we had the Royyala Vepudu, which are river prawns with masala, cilantro, and a spicy green chili. It was very spicy, chewy, had a wonderful texture, and I loved it! They were the best prawns I’ve ever had!
Next was the bamboo chicken, one of the most exotic dishes I’ve ever seen! The raw chicken is cooked inside a sealed piece of bamboo and sprinkled with masala spices. It gave the chicken a strong bamboo taste, and was outstanding! Sam loved it, too!
Our next dish was Kona Seema Kodi Vepudu, a spicy fried chicken. Visually, it reminded me of Nashville fried chicken. It was super tender and slightly spicy, except for one bite where I caught a lot of spice!
To cool down my mouth, I went with some rose milk, a super sweet milk with cashews, pistachios, and almonds that has a lot of rose flavor infused in it. This was definitely one of my favorite rose-infused drinks I’ve ever had!
Our next dish was Pandu Marayapaka, a type of vegetable kebab with a flavorful and tangy sauce that reminded me of orange chicken. It was fantastic!
Next, I tried Ulavacharu’s signature dish, Raju Gari Kodi Pulao, a steamed rice dish that contains vegetables, tender chunks of chicken, spices, and a hard-boiled and deep-fried egg on top. It was very moist and reminded me of a risotto or a paella. I tried it with two different chutneys and a red, peppery sauce, and all three were very unique and so good!
Up next was the Matka Mamsam Pulao, another rice dish that was served in a clay pot. This one contained mutton (lamb) and before I could even taste it, the aroma of the meat with all of the spices had my mouth watering. It was the butteriest, most tender lamb I’ve ever had!
Sam tried the next dish, Gadwal Kodi Pulao, a chicken-based rice dish with tomatoes that sits on top of an omelet! It wasn’t as spicy as the other pulaos, and was lighter, and the omelet was a nice addition.
The last dish of the night was Guthi Vankaya Pulao, a veg pulao with an eggplant on top. The sauce was very light and wasn’t spicy at all. I loved the eggplant, and the sauce mixed with the rice was out of this world!

FOREIGNERS Try South Indian THALI for the FIRST TIME ???????? [Learning How to Eat Thali With Hands]
Come join us in Hyderabad, India as we try South Indian Thali for the first time as foreigners while also learning how to properly eat thali with our hands. As our last meal in Hyderabad we wanted to make as memorable as possible so we headed over to posh Taj Mahal restaurant for authentic south Indian Thali. If you've never tried Thali before its meaning is 'plate' and it is a round platter with a plethora of Indian dishes.

If you're wondering what the biggest difference is between North Indian thali vs South Indian thali it has to do the use of bread in the north and more rice in the south. The fascinating thing about having Thali in India is that it totally varies by region. For instance, you can try Rajasthani, Gujarati, Andhra, Bengali and Punjab thali just to name a few aside from South Indian and North Indian style.
The main concept behind the thali is to encompass all 6 different flavours of sweet, spicy, astringent, bitter, salty and sour. You can often choose between vegetarian or non-veg thali; in this case we opted for a vegetarian thali. The individual dishes you see on the thali platter are called katori.
I want to extend a special thanks to Sailesh and Rakesh for being such gracious and generous hosts in Hyderabad. They made our final hours in the city special and their knowledge, especially as it pertains to the thali ingredients and eating procedures, made for great memories.
Have you tried Indian Thali before? What was your experience like?

FOREIGNERS Try South Indian THALI for the FIRST TIME ???????? [Learning How to Eat Thali With Hands]:
Hey guys, Sam here with another India travel video, this time trying a South Indian Thali for the first time. This was our final meal in Hyderabad before flying onwards to our next destination and what a way to say goodbye!
Once again, we had our two friends Sailesh and Rakesh showing us around, and they were kind enough to teach us how to eat a South Indian Thali the proper way using our hands.
I have to say, it was easier said than done and I’m probably going to need a lot more practice, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the food.
Now let’s go enjoy that thali set!
That’s a wrap from Hyderabad. We hope you enjoyed that delicious South Indian thali set! In the next episode, we’ll be hopping on a plane and travelling onwards to our next destination: Amritsar. So join us for that adventure!

SWEET & SAVORY Indian STREET FOOD Tour of Charminar | Hyderabad, India
In November of 2018, I embarked upon the most epic trip of my career: a 21-day, 7-city trip to India with my good friend Sam. It was the second time that year that I visited the country. The first was in January, and it changed my life. For months I dreamed of going back and experiencing more of this incredible country, and I finally made it happen! After a whirlwind 36 hours in Pune, we made our way to Hyderabad and went crazy, filming, eating, and experiencing as much as we possibly could!
Subscribe to Sam & Audrey:
Our second day in Hyderabad continued with a visit to the city’s Old Town, which includes the famous monument and mosque known as Charminar, and of course, more local eateries! Come along with us as we explore the Old Town of Hyderabad!
My Film Making Kit ►
Sam and I started off with a stop at Nimrah Café and Bakery, a popular spot that is famous for its tea and biscuits. We watched the bakers make the biscuits in the kitchen, and then tried a massive tray filled with 25 different types, including Osmania, coconut with cherry, and chocolate-cashew. The coconut with cherry was rich and sweet and packed with shredded coconut. The chocolate-cashew was flaky and crumbly and just plain phenomenal, and I also had an awesome sugar sandwich cookie with cream and lemon, and that’s coming from someone who isn’t a big biscuit fan!
Next, we tried Nimrah’s famous Irani Chai, which was milky, frothy, and bursting with amazing flavors including ginger and cinnamon. The biscuits were even better when I dipped them into the chai.
Our next destination was Charminar (which translates to “four minarets,” after the monument’s four ornate towers, which are supported by four grand arches), a monument and mosque that was built in 1591 and is listed as an archaeological and architectural treasure by the Archaeological Survey of India. It cost us 300 rupees, over ten times the rate for locals, to get into Charminar, but after we slowly ascended the narrow, winding staircase and emerged onto a balcony overlooking the city, it was worth it. From there, we had a spectacular view of much of the city, including the gates that served as the entrance to the Old City. The architecture was gorgeous!
After a quick selfie with a fan at Charminar, it was off to Milan Juice Centre for some juices and fruit salad so we could cool down from the 95-degree heat! I had a drink called a Mango Malai, which is a super fatty smoothie made from heated whole milk and yogurt. It was very rich, but also very good and just what I needed to cool off!
Our next stop was Al-Akbar Fast Food Corner, where we tried boneless Chicken 65 and ginger chicken along with some parathas. The chicken 65 was kind of like masala chicken nuggets. It was chewy with a slightly crunchy exterior, and I absolutely loved the masala flavor! The ginger chicken was bursting with ginger flavor, had an orange-ginger sauce on it. It was hot, super tender, and absolutely delicious, and the paratha was out of this world when I dipped it into the spicy orange-ginger sauce!
Our final stop of the afternoon was Matwale Doodh Ghar, where we got some lassi, a creamy, traditional Indian yogurt drink, which was the perfect way to cool down my mouth after that spicy chicken and from the heat outside! On our way there, Sam and I got a complete sensory overload as we strolled down the streets of Old Hyderabad in the shadow of Charminar. There are tons of vendors everywhere, the city is so busy, and there’s always tons of things going on around you.
My lassi was super thick and creamy, almost like a chunky yogurt with a bit of raspberry. It was so refreshing and exactly what I needed after a long afternoon under the hot Indian sun!

SWEET & SAVORY Indian STREET FOOD Tour of Charminar | Hyderabad, India
SCRUMPTIOUS Southern INDIAN Breakfast + Golconda Fortress Tour | Hyderabad, India
???? SAM:
???? WATCH: Indian Veg Food
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
I fell in love with India the first time I visited the country in January of 2018. Eleven months later, in November, I embarked upon on the most epic trip of my life: a 21-day trip back to this beautiful and charming country. This time, I went with my good friend Sam, and we set out to explore seven cities all around the country.
Saliesh:
Rakesh:
Our time in Hyderabad was flying by, and on the morning of our third day in the city, we got up early to do some more exploring, eat some more incredible food, and check out an amazing nearby fortress with our buddy Sailesh. Come along with us as we continue our exploration of Hyderabad!
Our third day in Hyderabad started with a scrumptious southern Indian breakfast at Minerva Coffee Shop, a 29-year-old vegetarian restaurant that is very popular and well-known for its southern Indian cuisine.
The first dish I tried was the Vada, which is a savory, fried doughnut that comes with an assortment of sauces and chutneys. The vada was perfect: flaky and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The coconut chutney was unreal and a little spicy! There was also a spicy, gingery chutney that was really fantastic as well. I loved dipping the vada into the sambar, too! It was full of tomato and onion flavor and was like a delicious soup.
Next, we tried Upma, a semolina dish that contains vegetables and green chilies and was served with the same chutneys as the vada. It was a lot like polenta and was a little hot, and very delicious. I loved it with the coconut, spicy ginger, and tomato chutneys, and the texture was amazing.
Our next dish was a popular, pasty rice dish called Pongal, which contains lentils, peppercorns, peanuts, cashews, and curry leaves and is always accompanied by the peanut chutney, ginger chutney, and sambar. The texture is like an interesting mix of risotto and mashed potatoes. It’s thick and heavy and almost doesn’t feel like a rice dish, but it is incredible!
Next, we had some gigantic Puris, or puffed-up, hollow flatbread, along with potato curry and vegetable curry. You pop the puri and tear pieces off to dip into the curries. It was so delicious! The vegetable curry was rich and full of vegetable flavor, including carrots and beans, while the potato one was a little spicy and had some cheese in it.
Next was Uttapam, a savory pancake that’s thicker than a dosa and full of curry leaves, onions, cashews, and carrot, and comes with vegetable curry and more chutneys! It was like a regular American pancake, but with the rich flavors and contrasting textures of all of the vegetables and nuts. I loved the spicy ginger chutney with it. It was pretty extreme!
I ended my meal with a coffee, which Minerva Coffee Shop is known for. It was almost like café con leche, a Cuban-style coffee, which is usually 40% coffee and 60% milk. I drank it straight, with no sugar, and it was amazing! It was naturally sweet even without any added sugar. It was really strong and it woke me up!
After our amazing southern Indian breakfast, Sam, Sailesh, and I headed off to Golconda Fort, which, according to legend, began as a mud fort around 1143, when a shepherd boy found an idol in the area. The king of the Kakatiya Dynasty ordered a mud fort to be built around the site when he heard about this, and the fort grew larger and became more complex over the centuries that followed.
My friends and I visited the fort’s main gate, stables (which used to house animals like elephants), and took the long and hard walk up 360 steps in the blistering heat to get to the very top, where we visited the Sri Mahakali Temple and could see all of Hyderabad below us. The boulders in the temple area are covered in beautiful and intricate paintings of Hindu deities.
I hope you enjoyed this southern Indian breakfast and fortress tour! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below! And please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already so you don’t miss out on any of my upcoming food and travel content!

Recently, I took a quick, one-day trip up to Washington, D.C. to explore the city’s Indian food scene, and of course, to check out some of the historical sites! Come along with me as I eat Indian food for 24 hours in Washington, D.C.
My day started at Saravana Palace in Fairfax, Virginia with my boy Kevin, who would be joining me on this Indian food adventure! They sell South Indian food, so I couldn’t wait to enjoy some dosas, idli, vada, and more!
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:
There, we started on the paneer dosa, which I’d never had before. It was stuffed with paneer, vegetables, and herbs. It was amazing with the sambar—a little spicy, doughy, and creamy, and so flavorful! The coconut chutney was good enough to drink!
We also had mango lassi, which was thinner than other lassis I’d had and full of mango pulp and flavor. Next was the vada, which we dipped into all four dips! The combination was unreal and full of spice from the tomato chutney! It was also creamy and refreshing! The peanut chutney was thicker and nutty, but the coconut chutney was the best!
The idli soaked up the sambar and worked really well with the other chutneys, too. I loved it with the peanut chutney! Next, the uttapam contained tomatoes, peas, onions, cilantro, chilies, and herbs and was perfect with the coconut chutney. The Mysore dosa contained potatoes and was super savory and not too spicy.
Next was a massive puri with chole, which took me right back to Delhi. The doughy puri and chole with gravy, onions, and chilies was so authentic. Finally, the paper dosa with the coconut chutney was so crispy, and the peanut blew me away! Then, as we were leaving, they gave us gulab jamun and carrot halwa.
The gulab jamun was super sweet and syrupy, while the carrot halwa was crumbly, nutty, light, and tasty! Then, we headed to Butter Chicken Company in D.C.. Along the way, I tried a Limca soda and Thumb’s Up soda.
They only sell 300 orders per day at Butter Chicken Company, a fast casual lunch spot. I went with the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, chana masala, and veg biryani. The biryani was so minty and full of carrots, corn, and herbs. I also loved the chicken tikka masala and the light chana masala. Everything was amazing with some garlic naan!
Next, we took a break from eating and walked past the White House to the Washington Monument. Along the way, we passed the Department of the Treasury and Capitol Hill. We passed a field of flags of people who have died from COVID and then headed to the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial.
Then, after walking off our food, we drove through the Georgetown area to Bombay Street Food. We started with bhelpuri with mint and tamarind chutneys. It was light, refreshing and crunchy. The tamarind added some sweetness! Both chutneys together were incredible!
Their gobi Manchurian was both sweet and sour and had a nice, crispy texture. I cleansed my palate with some Taj Mahal beer and then jumped on the veg and non-veg thalis! The lamb rogaine josh was amazing and the raita cooled down my mouth. I loved the creamy saag paneer and the chicken tikka masala. The chana masala was really light and so tasty!
I also enjoyed the gobi Manchurian, and the naan with the juicy, tender lamb was excellent. The naan with the raita was also great and cooled down the heat in my mouth! The smoky and charred tandoori chicken was also melt-in-your-mouth amazing!
Last was the gulab jamun, which was a sugary syrup explosion in my mouth! What a way to end our Indian food tour!

South Indian Food for the First Time (Mumbai) ???????? | Solo Travel India | India Travel Vlog (Ep. 3)
Today, I am a foreigner trying South Indian Food! I was invited to a local South Indian restaurant in Mumbai with local. She was kind enough to explain the different names and foods to me. I was literally clueless without her!
Indian food has SO many flavors! Each dish was so unique and very different from the food just next to it. That made the meal very interesting from start to finish!
My roti experience was a bit rough in the beginning. This was the first time I tried to separate a small piece from the large piece - with one hand. As you can see, I was wildly unsuccessful lol.
