Hyderabad: As expected Hyderabad restaurants this year have increased the prices of Haleem this Ramzan by 7-10 percent.
Moreover, the cost per plate of mutton Haleem is also close to touching Rs 300 thanks to the bird flu going around among chickens, which has led to Mutton prices increasing as well.
Otherwise, the rise in Haleem prices can be attributed to the increase in the prices of spices and mutton.
In the Old City, Hotel Nayab increased the price of Haleem from Rs 250 last year to Rs 270 this year. On the other hand, Subhan increased it from Rs 260 last year to Rs 270 this year.
A Hotel owner who did not want to be named said that last year the price per plate was hiked by Rs 10-20 in some of the restaurants towards the end of Ramza. “That may happen this year too. But this marginal hike was expected,” he added.
This Ramzan, too, restaurants in Hyderabad are seeing more demand for Haleem offline compared to online platforms. However, they said there is also a significant demand from online platforms like Swiggy and Zomato.
