Srinidhis Hyderabadi Spice

Srinidhis Hyderabadi Spice sits right in Erandwane, the pincode is 41582. We are tucked away a bit but once you smell the spices, you know where we are. The kitchen is the biggest part of the shop because we need the space for the big biryani pots. We use a lot of different spices that we grind ourselves. The air in the shop is always thick with the smell of cloves and cardamom. Erandwane is a nice area, quite residential, so we get a lot of families coming in to pick up dinner. I stay in the kitchen mostly while my nephew handles the front. We have a few tables but most people just take the food home with them. It’s a lot of work to get the flavors right every time. Sometimes the onions take longer to fry or the meat isn't exactly how I want it, so we have to adjust. We don't have any fancy decor on the walls, just some calendars and a clock. The floor is easy to wash which is good because spices can be messy. We open in the late afternoon and stay busy until the pots are empty. It’s a simple business but it keeps us on our feet all day. We try to keep things consistent so the regulars get what they expect every time they visit us for their evening meal.
