Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was quite open about how he relished the taste of Hyderabadi biryani and `chai’ in the past. Years ago, he broke his security precautions and rushed to Paradise Hotel in Secunderabad with friends to savour biryani. It made big news.
During his visit to the city on Saturday, he was unfailing in mentioning his liking for the local biryani and chai at the extended general body meeting of State Congress committee at Gandhi Bhavan. The Congress leaders immediately got the wind and ordered biryani from the same Paradise Hotel and tea from Niloufer Cafe at Nampally which was equally famous for the beverage.
Mr. Gandhi was said to have consumed the biryani together with a Coke at the lunch arranged for him in one of the rooms of Gandhi Bhavan immediately after the meeting. He also drank the chai from Niloufer Cafe before taking his special flight back to Delhi.
