The royal cuisine of Hyderabad is famous for its variety of kebabs, haleem and biryani. Kebabs are usually associated with the advent of the Mughals in India. They brought the ingredients like the nuts, dried fruits and fragrances of rose and kewda from Turkey, Afghanistan and Persia. The chefs in the royal kitchens combined these ingredients with the local ingredients to create some of the best dishes that one can taste.

Hyderabadi cuisine is one of the best examples of this combination of local and foreign ingredients. The Mughal's love for meat blended with the fiery spices of Andhra Pradesh which led to the creation of some of the best kebabs and other meat dishes of India.
