Communal unrest
Shah Ali Banda is part of the area surrounding the Old City, which has problems with communal riots, forcing police to impose curfews. In 1992, one community cut off power to Shalibanda in order to disable and ransack the area. Due to this violent memory, and the constant fear of a repeat attack, power cuts are handled as very extreme situations with police enforcing complete shut down of the city.
Restaurants
Shah Ali Banda is famous for its restaurants, offering Hyderabadi cuisine, such as Pista House and Shah Ghouse Café.
