Back to Hyderabad

Secunderabad is Hyderabad’s twin city, with a history as a British cantonment that still shows in its wide roads, old churches and large green military areas. It has its own centre around the railway station and Paradise Circle, and calmer residential neighbourhoods such as Sainikpuri, Marredpally and Trimulgherry. On Myra, members in Secunderabad often receive introductions from Begumpet, Tarnaka, Malkajgiri and Bowenpally, and from central Hyderabad if their distance limit allows. Because the IT corridor is a long trip away, many Secunderabad members prefer to meet locally, which makes for relaxed plans at familiar places. The neighbourhood has a mix of long-time residents and families who moved here for railway and defence jobs, so you will meet people from many backgrounds. Whether your intent is serious or friendship first, Secunderabad’s parks and old bakeries are easy places to start a conversation. Secunderabad also has some of the city’s oldest churches, clock towers and markets, such as the busy General Bazaar, which make for an interesting walk if you both enjoy history. On festival evenings the streets are full of lights and families, adding to the atmosphere. Its name honours Sikandar Jah, the third Nizam, and the clock tower near the station is a popular meeting landmark.

Where to meet in Secunderabad

  • Paradise Circle

    Famous for its biryani restaurants. A busy, central meeting point if you both enjoy a proper meal on a first date.

  • Sanjeevaiah Park

    A large park on the edge of Hussain Sagar with views of the lake. Pleasant in the late afternoon and early evening.

  • Cantonment bakeries

    Old bakeries in the cantonment area serve cakes and tea in a calm setting, ideal for a short, simple meeting.

Getting around

Secunderabad has a major railway station and Metro stations on both the Blue and Green lines. Some cantonment roads have restricted access, so check your route before you travel.

Good to know

  • The area around the railway station is crowded at all hours. Meet at a named restaurant instead.
  • Cantonment roads are quiet and dark at night. Take a ride rather than walking.
