Hyderabadi biryani. Or the good the bad and the ugly

While in hyderabad, I was lucky enough to have a personal guided tour of various styles of biryani. They were all sold as hyderabadi, but were clearly very different.
I didn't get a pic of every plate, but the ratings were Mandar- good (actually really delicious, well made, presented well), bad- at a large gathering (all the right things were being done, but somehow all the biryani came out not as great as it should), and ugly - paradise. This last one is a huge let down for 2 reasons; 1 being that it's been around for over 50 years and keeps expanding and the second being that I was told that it was the best example of hyderabadi biryani in the city.
That's why I'm here though, so I can see and taste everything.
Special thanks to my tour guides Rizwan, Irfan, and Deen!
