HYDERABAD Chicken dum BIRYANI (Not the best photo) but the is by far the best one I’ve had outside of my mothers. And let me... tell you that it’s pretty par with my mom’s biryani (please don’t tell her). The Rytha (yogurt) is also delicious. It defhas a kick ???? to it so make sure you ask for a second yogurt - Rytha. It’s flavourful, amazing quantity, and the biryanirice is perfect long grain basmati ???? Read more

Edited : Tried Family Pack Chicken fry Pulao.it’s a combo with pulao, a starter, eggs, dessert. It’s delicious.. Do not... judge by Pulao color, it’s super spicy ????????????????. Tried vijayawada boneless chicken biryani and country chickenpulav. Portions are decent and they taste yum. Vijayawada Boneless chicken Biryani is a must try if you love spicy food. Read more

"Taste main best". One of the best biryani in town. Amazing and awesome and delicious food. We tried ghe roasted chicken fry and... it was amazing. Truly authentic. This place is not very popular for dine in but I realized after visiting this place that it'sbest place to try veg and nonveg both options with authentic taste. Also, Vijaywada boneless biryani was best. Owner of thisplace is very friendly and gives information about spice level. Also, he recommends as per our request and that dishes willbring a joy on the table. Read more

We came here for a team lunch on Friday. The place wasn't crowded. We started with a couple of veg and non veg starters. We... noticed all of the items had a lot of salt to an extent where we couldn't enjoy the food. When ordering the main course we askedto have the chef put less salt. And to our surprise the pepper chicken we ordered had so much salt that we had to ask to take itback. The server didn't get another plate of pepper chicken and later we had to tell him to remove that item from the finalbill. Only the Gongura chicken curry was decent. Goat biryani and veg biryani were okayish. But the overall experience was waybelow average. Considering only 3-4 tables with customers they should have managed good quality food. Read more

Update: went back last week for dinner. And had an even better time. Mr. Shridhar recommended incredible dishes. We ordered the... biryani and he was so nice -- he gave us two types of rice to try. The lamb was out of this world as was the country chicken.Great place for the family. Be careful -- if you say "spicy" it will be HOT. So maybe go with "spicy but not Hyderabad spicy";) Great job Mr Shridhar and Team ??----------- Absolutely fantastic food and the service is incredible. I took my wholefamily there and was treated like royalty. It is a very simple restaurant but the service is outstanding outstanding. Mr.Sridhar is an excellent host -- He explained things very well and made sure we got the food that would fit our taste buds.Highly highly recommend this restaurant and do try to get Mr. Sridhar.

Food was so good that we took food on our flight all the way! We went on our flight day morning and were probably the first ones... in the restaurant. The owner was very curious and suggested what their specials are and what people prefer to have around there.We ordered nanns and curries both meat and veg. One Gobi appetizer. All. Tasted good. Biryanis were a hit among all Read more

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant! After just one visit, we became a regular customer here. The food is... absolutely amazing – and as authentic as it can get. It gives you a “home food away from home” feeling... From the starterto the dessert the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding: Gongura biryanis, pulaav, kababs, chicken/paneer tikka,masala dosa varieties, okra fry, chapatis etc. [photos attached] might have been the best meal we have ever been served. On topof this, the staff truly cares about your experience and is delightful/professional. The manager (Sridhar) actively seekscustomer feedback and incorporates it into future dishes/recipes (if there are any comments at all). Delicious elaichi tea orfilter coffee is added bonus! Must try in the bay area and highly recommended! 10/10 Read more
