कहाँ खाएँ
Haritha Valley View Resort Restaurant
Ananthagiri Hills, Vikarabad · ₹₹सिग्नेचरMulti-cuisine meals with a forest valley view
The valley-view setting is the reason to eat here rather than driving back down to Vikarabad town. It is a popular weekend spot, so reserving ahead helps. Combine a meal with the trekking trails and the temple.
Wah Biryani Wah! Family Restaurant
NTR Chowrasta, Vikarabad town · ₹₹सिग्नेचरHyderabadi biryani and kebabs
A Vikarabad town pick — convenient if you base in the town for the Ananthagiri trip. Biryani and kebabs are the strengths; the retro decor makes it good for families. Walk-in.
The Food Villa
Tandoor Road (route to Ananthagiri Hills), Vikarabad · ₹₹सिग्नेचरPepper fish and paneer biryani
On the Tandoor Road route to the hills, so an easy stop on the way up or down. Pepper fish and paneer biryani are the dishes to order; vegetarian options are plentiful and it is family-friendly. Open 11.30am-10.30pm, walk-in.
Taste of Vikarabad (TOV)
Ananthagiri Hills approach road, Vikarabad · ₹₹सिग्नेचरBamboo chicken and local Telangana thali
Order the bamboo chicken — it is the signature and worth the wait. The open-air bamboo-hut seating is best in the cooler months and evenings. Reserve on weekends; it fills with Hyderabad day-trippers.
