Hyderabad Colony (Urdu: حیدرآباد کالونی) is a residential neighborhood of Gulshan Town, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.[1][2]

Hyderabad Colony was originally inhabited by the Hyderabadi Muslim migrants from the princely state of Hyderabad Deccan in British Raj.[3]

It is famous for its popular Hyderabadi food, including Hyderabadi biryani, chaakna, Hyderabad Haleem and especially achar (pickle). Abu Mian, a catering service popular among the Hyderabadis of Karachi, is located in Hyderabad Colony.[4][5]
