Waited 45 minutes for an online order. When I received my order, it was missing my 2 lassi drinks. They tried to charge me again. When I showed them my order to prove I paid, they realized they were giving me the wrong order. I sat and waited. They came to the table 4 times to ask me about my order. They were out of one of the entrees. After waiting another 30 minutes, they gave my order and only had one lassi. Total incompetence. read more

Food and service were great. The hot butter chicken was quality along with the flavor being robust as well.

This was about my third time eating the food from here, and my first review. The reason why I stop by here every twelve months or so, is out of sheer convenience. When the server brought my curry chicken and basmati rice ($16.99) to my table, I couldn't help but notice how filthy the carrying tray was. Fortunately, the food itself was hot, and the spice level was low, as I had requested. My appetizer arrived about five minutes later. The spinach pakora ($6.99) was somewhat spicy, and probably an acquired taste. I might order it again, though. At least the quantity was massive. Although the portion sizes are plentiful, the prices lately are spendy. I ended up bringing half of my appetizer and entree home with me. BEWARE: their mildest default settings for food spiciness is a 3 out of 5. You have to make a very special, pleading, request to get spiciness any lower. The service is so-so. You can never be quite sure if they understand what you've requested, because they are so poor at acknowledging you after you've spoken. The ambiance is pretty close to zero. The reason why I ate inside is that I was driving by the restaurant, on my way home. Also, mobile orders can be problematic at this business. I asked, and they did tell me that there was no longer any lunch buffet offered there. read more

Very good genuine taste food. Great service as well. Pretty good spread and good variety for Dosa Night. Will come back.

We love this place. Best Indian Restaurant we have found in town. The chicken 65 and ginger chicken is outstanding!

This place has that great hole in the wall feel to it. It has biryani in the name so that's what I get when I come here and I suggest others do the same! My husband is a Butter Chicken/Tikka Masala kind of guy so he got one of those when he came with me and the portion size was pretty small actually. He usually has enough to eat it the next day but he ate all of his in one go. However, my biryani was so huge it fed me for like four or more meals. It was huge. I did notice that when we ordered medium spicy the food wasn't spicy at all but when I asked for very spicy it came out really spicy. It was interesting. I know they have levels though I need to tweak which one works best for each dish for our taste buds. Both times I came I got Vijayawada Spl Chicken which comes with raita and gravy. The gravy adds extra flavor and the raita is great at cooling the burn if you get a spicy version. I wasn't fond of their garlic naan as it was really flat and kinda burnt. Hubby noted that the place wasn't as clean as he'd like- for example, the plates had some rice stuck to them that we removed and the naan tray had food splatter around the edges from previous meals. To try: - Pav Bhaji - Chicken Tikka Kebab - Malai Kebab - Gongura Chicken Biryani Loved: - Biryani: Vijayawada Spl Chicken - Butter Chicken (medium spicy) - Side: Gravy - Side: Raita Ok: - Naan: Garlic read more

Hyderabad Biryani is without a doubt my favorite Indian restaurant in the Memphis area. The food has always been excellent and the staff is accommodating and friendly. There is now a large buffet seven days a week with several vegetarian options and plenty of spice!!!! Also the restaurant interior boasts a newly remodeled dining area to accompany the banquet hall adding a touch of class to this already wonderful dining experience. Five stars for Hyderabad Biryani!!!!! read more

Love this restaurant! Well worth the 40 minutes drive for us. They have several selections for their buffet as well. Highly recommend!

Butter chicken and chicken vindaloo was incredible. Put it with the garlic naan, pssssssh. Great restaurant.

THEY SERVED THE NAAN BREAD IN A DIRTY DISH. I cannot get past seeing old food stuck to the container that they gave us our naan bread in. It was so gross. The plastic in the basket only helped just enough that I ate it but I'll never be back. What else aren't they keeping clean?! And the serving sizes seemed smaller than at other places and somehow more expensive. read more

It was my first time eating here today. It was very tasty and authentic cuisine. I ordered the mango lassi $6, chicken tika masala $16.50, palak pener $15 and garlic naan $4. Rice was included. All very delicious. They have a lot of variety to choose from. I had extra to take home. It is a nice modern restaurant. Service was good. They seem to have more take out orders than dine in but it was lunch time. You also pay at the register. It was a little pricey for lunch $$$$ but worth it for a treat. $50 after tip. Thank you read more

Used to be great food and service. Now it's resorted to "phishing". DO NOT ORDER ONLINE. I have been a loyal customer since they opened years ago. Recently, I placed an online order (and nice tip) for lunch pickup. When I get there (right at the pickup time... I like the food fresh and hot!), I was asked to show the email where I ordered and paid for the food. I showed the order confirmation email from my phone and let the cashier scroll through. She pointed out that they no longer serve what I ordered and I can "pick something else" that they have because she cannot give refunds to online orders. This alone is enough to never go back again, much less order online from any other non-franchise restaurant. read more

This place was really good! The employees were fantastic and took care of us. They were were friendly and made us feel welcome. You can go for a lunch buffet! It was really good and we left full! Be careful with some of the dishes because they can be really spicy! We will definitely come back here! read more

Two words: Hidden Gem! My husband will always find Indian/Pakistani food no matter where he goes. We landed in Memphis pretty late at night and ended up at this restaurant. Upon walking in, I wasn't too sure. The food was just amazing! Fresh, hot, and plentiful! We ordered goat fried biryani and tandoori chicken kebab. I don't care for rice in general but my husband thinks he is biryani connoisseur.. he was totally shocked and taken by back the flavors and the freshness of the food. I can say the same for my chicken kebab! Delicious and plentiful! As if that was good enough, we went there the 2nd night. This time we ordered Mysore masala dosa and shrimp haka noodles. Both were fresh and just simply delicious! There is complimentary jalebi.. which was a very sweet gesture The service was great.. and very affordable! Will deff revisit in the future if in the area! read more

Superb crispy ghee dosa. Friendly service. Much improved ambiance. Reasonable price. Good appetizers

One of the best Indian restaurants in Memphis! Recently added an all encompassing lunch buffet, which was delicious!

The butter chicken does not taste or even look like butter chicken. The base tastes like tomatoes. The naan was really good. The chicken could've been cut up more. Chicken also tasted cheap. I lived in dallas and worked with a clinic full of Indian/paki individuals so I've had my fair share of the food and this was not the best. But I wanted to try it. 19 bucks gone. read more

One day it's good , fresh spices , curry leaves, tomatoes, onions, methi leaves, you know the reason we like Indian food, but sum days be like curry paste chef, watery mess of gloop. I've been burned here to often. I've spent a fortune with these fools, Indian food is so scammy . Going back to mcdees, at least I don't pay extra for the nastiness. I'm done with hyberdaby and their many many chefs. read more

I love Indian food and have heard good things about this location. I went for the buffet and was pleasantly surprised at the overall dining experience. The selection was good but every dish was very nicely cooked and the seasoning was far above average, indeed some of the best use and execution of regionally specific herbs and cook. My pallet was very busy enjoying all the courses of this meal from breads to deserts and I will be coming back here more often. The pastries available a beautiful and very delicious, check out the excellent selection out front, you won't be disappointed. Two negatives, the tile floor is VERY slick everywhere and even though there's several runners it's still scary with the chairs and feet sliding. Also the cooling system needs some attention in a 88° day, even with the fans it was a little uncomfortable. read more

We recently lunched at Hyderabad Biryani and it was fantastic! I had the buffet, while friends had the butter chicken and one ordered another chicken dish with a mango sauce. We all 3 commented how great our food was! it'd been several years since I've been here; the interior has been completely redone and it's fab. But the service and the food were great. I also ordered a Gobi appetizer platter (cauliflower fritters) to go, for a gathering that evening. Everyone commented how delicious it was at the party, and several asked where I had purchased it. I ordered spicy , it had a kick, was insanely good. Served with yoghurt (for those who dont want as spicy), it was perfect for most. Thi place is awesome ; highly recommend! read more

I was here last Thursday with a group from work. Some of us were visiting from India, some have been in the US for years, and some us, like me, are American with no ties to India or Indian culture. Everyone commented that this was the best Indian food they have had, and not just some of the selection but every item in the buffett. I have been to a few Indian restaurants with work colleagues in the past and I have to agree that this is the best I have had as well. I sampled just about everything and liked it all. Maybe they'll branch out and open a location in Pittsburgh! :) read more

The food is really good, but their online ordering system doesn't work and they don't get the order. I ordered ahead just to be told to wait 20 minutes and to order over the phone next time. So what did I put my card information in? It's kind of sketchy to be able to pay online but have to wait in store regardless. read more

I came to try the lunch buffet today and while it looks small at first glance, they have it packed full of so many options and everything I tried was amazing! They offer complimentary juice and chai which are also extremely tasty. The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere was casual and comfortable.

I finally know what all the hype around Hyderabad House is for, and for me, the food totally lives up to and deserves the praise it gets. My team has a lot of folks with Indian heritage (me include), so we decided to go here during the week of Diwali (aka festival of lights/ Indian New Year as per the lunar calendar) and so it was 15 of us descending to this restaurant Friday lunchtime around 11am. Thank goodness we'd made a reservation because 30 mins later, all the tables around us were full and having tasted the wonderful options of the buffet, I can see why this place draws a crowd. Service was great - the waiter kept our water glasses filled and as our table faced the ubiquitous TV showing a Bollywood movie, we did get some questions/ comments from our Southern team members about the singing + dancing around trees and how modernity has changed India. I thought the price for the lunch buffet was fair and totally in keeping with the other local options and thought it was a good variety of food, with different spice levels to suit everyone. Its not 5-stars as I did find it challenging when going up to the buffet to find the labels for the dishes incorrect. So there was something labeled as fish, but when I bit into the meat, discovered it was chicken. One thing I did love was the Chai - just like India - and then for dessert the Payasam/ Kheer was delicious! When I paid my bill, I discovered they make eggless cakes too, so plan to come back and try that next time. Yelp 154/2017 read more

Excellent food with a side of rude service by the cashier. The cook was more responsive!

Just "ok". Bottled water and small paper cups, no ice. Curry was like tomato sauce. No buffet, no lunch menu. $17.99 for one meal (plus cost of naan). 12 noon and only two other people here. $28 for lunch, 1 person. Outrageous. You make the call. read more

I ordered the " Chicken Saagwala" The rice is awesome (I could eat it plain) the chicken and spinach was incredible.I ordered it medium and it has good amount of heat.

Okay, so I thought there were not any really great Indian restaurants in town. I am wrong. I brought my Indian guests here on the recommendation of friends, and even the pickiest "psh, I can make this at home" person was happy. Every dish was hot, fresh, flavorful. Everything we tried made us smile or say "mmh try this!" The curry leaf chicken and the go-to chicken dum biriyani were my favorites. The menu is big, so it does help to have some familiarity, but our server was also happy to help with recommendations and making sure we had an appropriate amount of food for our group of 6. It was a little cold close to the door on a cold night in December, and the interior decor is nothing special, but the food was a hit with both the Indians and non-Indians in my group. For all the things we ordered, we were pleasantly surprised with the reasonable total at the end. Worth the drive from the other part of town. read more

Food is great. So aromatic. As the name says, they have many types of biryani but also many rice-and-sauce dishes too. The dosa is quite good. Service is a little spotty sometimes-- I think they've had the staffing issues so many places have had the past few years. But all the people are friendly and I just like this place. Ambiance is diner-ish. If you want good food come here, if you want the Ritz go to Paris. read more
