The date

Hyderabad Biryani House on Fraser Street has a 4.7 and a cult following, both earned through the patient act of making very good biryani. The goat is layered with basmati and house spices, sealed and slow-steamed until every grain carries the perfume, in portions that leave you happy and possibly immobile. It's open till 2am weekends, with a karaoke machine on site should dinner turn into a whole evening.

How to do it

Come for the dum biryani and order the goat version, it's the one people cross town for. Tell them how spicy you actually want it, because they'll meet you there, and don't over-order appetizers; the biryani portions are huge. Don't miss the karaoke machine if the night's gone loose, it's exactly that kind of room. Budget around an hour and twenty, and remember it runs late (till midnight on weeknights, 2am weekends), so it doubles as the after-movie plan.
