Crunchy Osmania Biscuits are popular in Hyderabad, India, and are sold in Iranian cafes. The biscuits or cookies are named after Mir Ali Khan, the last ruler of Hyderabad. These comfortable tea biscuits with a novel style are part of the day-by-day life in Hyderabad. For Hyderabadis, so much occurs over Osmania biscuits and the favoured Irani chai. There isn’t any bakery or lodge which doesn’t promote this delicacy.

An excellent steadiness of sweet and salt makes them stand out and to be enjoyed with a cup of chai.
