Well, if you're going to be in Hyderabad you should definitely not miss out on Hyderabadi biriyanis and kathi rolls, which are the specialities of the region. The spiciness for these and other dishes can vary and different people have different tolerance levels. (I don't know how much you can handle; I can NOT handle spicy food AT ALL.) If you want to use traditional ways to counteract it, order one of these drinks (these are the Hindi names, but should still be well-understood):

• Lemonade, otherwise called nimboo paani
• Lassi: Lassi is a drink of watered down yoghurt, and it's not as disgusting as it sounds. You have sweet and salted varieties. Any milk-based drink is good for counteracting spiciness. You could also order almond milk if the restaurant serves, as that's another sweet milk-based product.

Another option to order dessert with your main course. For a lot of Indian meals, people often order dishes to be delivered together rather than as separate courses. So if you order any sweets or desserts with your main course, when your mouth starts burning you can dig into a tiny bite of your sweets / dessert and continue eating your main course.
