Nightlife particularly at Charminar is a forever bliss," says P Jahnavi, an IT employee.

"In the past 2-3 months, street food business used to be very dull as people didn't prefer it, whereas now the business is slowly coming to normal. The same goes with the restaurants and pubs.

Most of the drive-ins like One Drive In, Kings Drive in, I see a lot of people rushing out at midnights too. This feels good," says Johnson, a resident of Secunderabad.

There are many dishes which are available mostly during night hours. A lot of them are Arabian dishes. They are available from at least after 10 pm and till 2 am in areas like Barkas, Errakunta, Mehdipatnam, Mallepally, Tolichowki.
