Rats and roaches, straight from the chef!
Who needs to jet off to Southeast Asia to sample exotic delicacies like crickets and cockroaches when Lakdikapul’s finest eateries are already serving up a local version … unintentionally, of course. A task force’s recent inspection revealed an all-you-can-eat buffet for pests, with rats and cockroaches sharing kitchens, refrigerators, and possibly your plate. Why bother with tourist traps in Bangkok when Khan-e-Khaas offers live cockroach infestation in the comfort of your own city?
And no, these aren’t some avant-garde ingredients meant to revolutionise Telangana cuisine. They are simply the result of kitchens so poorly maintained that rat droppings and shedding plaster particles have become the accidental garnishes no one asked for.
Food or Fear Factor?
It seems Hyderabad’s food safety scene has decided to take inspiration from the reality show Fear Factor. Leftover food from the previous day, stagnant water breeding mosquitoes, and cobweb-laced kitchens – what more could you ask for in a dining experience? At BadeMiyan Kababs, food colours that would make a Holi festival blush were seized, while staff worked without gloves or hair caps, adding that all-natural, straight-from-the-hand touch to your meal.
Insects in your biryani? Consider it added protein. A hint of rat in your curry? Call it ‘fusion cuisine’. Who needs Michelin stars when you have Lakdikapul’s finest serving unlicensed innovation?
A masterclass in rustic dining
Why waste money on a five-star experience when you can enjoy a ceiling-shedding plaster into your soup for free? Lakdikapul’s kitchens redefine the term ‘rustic’. Broken tiles, patchy flooring, and water-stagnant drains add to the charm of an establishment where the kitchen design ensures pests feel right at home.
Instead of Instagramming your meal, you might find yourself photographing the cockroach skittering across your plate. Who knows? Maybe it’s a culinary nod to Thai street food. Except here, the bugs aren’t roasted; they’re just… alive.
Why fly when you can feast at home?
Why pay for airfare to sample exotic pest-based cuisines in faraway lands? Lakdikapul has it all: rats, roaches, synthetic colors, and an ambiance that makes you question your life choices. And it’s all served with the same casual disregard for food safety that guarantees an unforgettable – and potentially hospitalizing – dining experience. So skip the passport and save your rupees. Hyderabad’s pest-infused delicacies are here to give you a taste of the exotic, whether you like it or not.
