“We use natural spices while preparing wazwan. It’s a proud moment for me to expand my ancestral trade from Aali Kadal in Downtown to Hyderpora in Uptown. I will ensure to carry on my family’s legacy and serve authentic Wazwan,” Abrar said.
Abrar said the ambience of the restaurant is a confluence of traditional and modern architecture. “We have exclusive space for families and functions. We serve wazwan in traditional copper utensils to promote our culture,” he said.
