Tried the Chicken and Goat Dum Biryanis. Excellent and authentic flavors. Well done for the soft opening today. Excited to have quality Indian food in this city and thank goodness will not need to travel to San Diego for this as long as they keep up with the quality and taste. Adding more to the previous review considering we have gone back multiple times for biryanis which speaks for their quality/flavors and service/hospitality. Vijaywada biryani was also yummy, spicy and tasty. Has boneless pieces of chicken. Loved the Telangana Chicken Curry. Tastes more like a home style curry with a unique flavor of spices and more bite-able onion/tomato sauce with bone-in chicken not the typical/cliched chicken curries. Personally did not like the Chicken Korma as the chicken was boneless and breast meat is not soft or flavorful and the curry is cream based cashew on the mild-sweet side. read more

The food here was absolutely amazing it felt like I was in their home kitchen. You could tell they cook everything with authenticity. The butter chicken is perhaps the best I have ever had. The tandoori chicken was juicing and the Samosas were light and airy truly one of the best food experiences I have had in a long time All the sauces were made from scratch and you could tell the freshness. We came in from San Diego for a work trip and told them we would drive in just to come in and eat there again. The owners, were working behind the counter and that means the service was next level. I love coming to spots that are family owned and operated. There is just a certain type of passion that is shown in the dishes in places like this. The ambiance is nice nothing over the top just feels like a home cooked meal. Also noted Their bathrooms were extremely clean and smelled fresh as well read more

Interesting sense of customer service. I ordered a mild Chicken 65 Biryani late last night but they gave me a medium Goat Biryani and I only found out once I got home. The goat was too gamey for my taste and it was way too spicy. I ended up just not eating it altogether. They were closed before I even got home, so I decided I'd call the next day. Today I ordered from here again and told them what happened as I phoned in the order. All they said was that they were very sorry and to call them next time I have a problem with my order. I explained that I couldn't call because they were closed and they said, "Ok, next time please let us know". I said "I'm letting you know now". They just said that they're sorry and it won't happen again and yet again, they told me to call them if it happens again. At this point I was pretty done with this conversation so I placed my order and hung up. When I got to the restaurant I spoke to a different employee and had basically the same conversation. I don't mind getting a wrong order every now and then but when it's something I paid for and I can't eat it, I think it's fair to expect some compensation? Instead, I was blamed for "not letting them know" and was literally made to eat my losses. Food is good tho. read more

The place is really clean with beautiful wallpaper drawings. The food is really authentic and very flavorful!!! Easy to order no reservations necessary. Good Indian music videos and games on other tv. Really good place. Will be back soon. read more

I've been here several times since this first review, and I decided to order a catering order for 20 people. Not only has the quality stayed the same (really good) but also they were able to keep the same freshness with much higher quality. Absolutely love this place! Will be coming back here again. Thank you for the catering team, we loved the food! read more

Went here for my first time today and the Chicken Tikka and Saag Paneer were great. Nice inside and pricing was pretty good too. They have mon-thurs lunch specials for "dine in". As far as the heat I got "medium" and was pretty mild. Will definitely be back. read more

Seriously, the BEST Indian food around!! Definitely try a dosa with the other things you order, it's my favorite for dipping in all the amazing sauces! Ps- medium spicy is perfect, getting hot spicy is pretty dang hot! read more

Hyderabad Cafe - Paneer Biryani Garlic Naan Vindaloo Chicken Onion Dosa Chana Masala and an eggplant dish I can't remember but sooooooo good! - Indian Near Me - Temecula, California

The food was delicious. Even I ordered my 5yr daughter's birthday catering from here and everyone liked the food. Every time I go here we get the same treatment. Specially the biriyani is what like about this place. For those complaining and crying about the food being spicy need to know before ordering the food. If you order biriyani after certain period all the spices gets into the rice and no matter what it ll be spicy. If you really want non spicy biriyani then don't eat biriyani at all. read more

Food was good. I ordered the butter chicken, tandoori chicken, samosas and garlic naan. The flavor of the butter chicken was really good but could have used a little more chicken. I don't even think there was a full breast worth in there. They also could have provided a bit more rice with the entrees. It is a order at the counter restaurant and the place was clean. Overall a good place and I would probably go back but for the prices I feel like they should bump up the portions just a bit and offer full service. Then it would be a 5 star. read more

It was my second time here and the first experience was great so I wanted to bring the hubby back. He got his dish medium and I got my mild We also got an appatizer His meal came out at least 10 mins before mine, very wierd, then the guy who ordered after us meal came out, and then app came out with mine. Wtf? I take one bite and my mouth is on fire! I get up to tell the girl that it's too hot and guy standing there (manager I think) walks in the back and all she says is that's the way it is and hands me some yougert. Again WTF? My husbands dish ended up being less spicy then mine so I ate a little of his and some bread and that was it. No one there wanted to make it right and didn't even say goodbye to us like they did to the guy who was after us when he left one minute before us. Never again read more

Loved the food! Loved the ambiance! Great Menu! Makes you feel like you are in Hyderabad

My daughter wanted some Indian food so we came by here to try it out. I got the chana masala Dosa and lamb biryani. The biryani I ordered medium spice but it had some heat. Not enough to stop me from eating it though. With a little raita, it was pretty tasty. I always hate biting into one of those cloves though; I wish there was a way to put those in a cheesecloth and cook it but I know it wouldn't be the same. The dosa came with a peanut sauce and another sauce, both were pretty interesting. At first it had a flavor I wasn't fond of but it grew on me as I started to put it on the crispier parts of the dosa. My daughter had the chicken Tikka masala and naan. She enjoyed it. I tried some of the sauce and it wasn't too bad, but I would say I've had better tikka masala at other places. The naan was a little more chewy and flat than I'm used to. Definitely no Mantra ambience; it was order-at-the-counter food with styrofoam cups, self serve water, and self serve utensils/plates. The lady at the counter wasn't the friendliest but our interaction wasn't negative and besides I care more about the food. Overall, the ambience was a little ghetto and if a little more effort was put into it (like actual plates and silverware for dining in), I'd say this could be a regular dine-in spot for us since it is so close to home. But for now I might come here for a few to-go items. I think their food is definitely different from Mantra's and each have their tastier items. If you want to try some spicier, southern Indian foods, I think this place has the menu for it. read more

Simply the best Indian food in the area bar none. They won't hold back on spices so aware when selecting your spice level. I wish I could try their lunch specials. They don't always have the dum for the goat so best to call and check read more

When coming here I was upset that the Masala Craft was no longer there, but I was willing to try this new Indian food restaurant in its place. Upon walking in we were greeted and given a menu. They asked us what we enjoy, and gave wonderful suggestions and seemed interested in what WE like, not just giving us the most popular. We ordered Samosas (a staple for us), Karvepaku Chicken (easily one of the best things I've ever eaten), goat biryani, and chicken biryani. All of these things were absolutely to die for, and the 2 mango lassis and a drink I'd never heard of before finalized its place on my wheel of monthly restaurants. Thank you guys for great service and somehow even better food. Seriously buy the Karvepaku Chicken. I would lick the plate clean if there weren't witnesses. read more

Ordering from the menu is better than the lunch specials they have. My only issue still is that they give you this small container of raita for a full biryani order. They really need to give a proportional amount considering how spicy the Biryanis are, even the mild that I ordered after how I struggled with the medium the last time. The gobi Manchurian was just ok. The Biryani was very good though. Considering it's a fast food kind of joint the service was pretty good. read more

First of all I am so sorry for NOT taking photos prior to eating!! I think I have found my new local favorite INDIAN food restaurant ! The food was fantastic.... Our family of four over ordered five different entrees and we were pleased with each one! Lamb tikka masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, Saab Paneer, Lamb curry and Butter Chicken with three different Naan. I can honestly say I would order it all again. And the staff Ram, Divi and Laxmi were kind and helpful. If you get the chance to stop by and try something take a photo for me! read more

The food is incredibly delicious, authentic! Customer service is great, one of owners as they brought our food was so nice asking if everything was okay? HECK! It was so delicious!! I can't wait to go back. The dish I had came with goat meat which was so tender it literally melted in my mouth. The spice to perfection!! I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves yummy yummy authentic Indian food read more

I've eaten Indian plenty of times and this place is NOT it. Wayyy overpriced $40 for small portions!!! I ordered a chicken tiki masala spicy - not spicy at all I ordered garlic naan that was $3 extra asking if it was enough for 2 people, they said it was plenty -it was one small sized naan that was cut in two pieces?? Service was fine but will never be coming back here read more

Food is fine, hard not to compare to the previous restaurant. I think this review is more based on the comparison. Smaller portions than previous, not as much flavor, a few of our favorite dishes are gone as it's a new menu. Prices are similar, portions smaller. Naan not as good. The positives, a bit of a refresh on the inside, younger owners who are working hard on their business, good energy in there. Overall we lost our spot, and the food here wasn't impressive enough to come back. Maybe we'll try again in a few months. Update, probably won't be back as another spot opened up close by that is phenomenal. read more

Wow! Beautifully done! The naan was a little flat, but I mean even mediocre naan is still delicious, and the rest of the meal was exceptionally tasty! I had tiki masala garlic naan and mango lasse. Left VERY happy!!! read more

Wow! We just moved from Long Beach to the Temecula Valley recently. Our biggest lament was the lack of good food. Dang, were we wrong!!! This place is SO good!!!! Delicious food, excellent service, and the artwork was so fun to look at as we ate. We will no doubt be back!!! read more

Soooo delicious! Fantastic service, friendly and delicious food! My husband and I had the Butter chicken with a side of Garlic Naan and Samosas! Of course amazing flavor but also super fresh! Be prepared if you dine in it might be a little wait to get your FRESH FOOD! Not a problem for us! We also decided to overdo it and got the Goat Biriyani and had to take the rest to go bc it was a lot of food! We are definitely coming back! Pro tip: Mango Lassi drink is delicious but thick and will fill you up! Drink after. And the spice is real! If you can't handle spice don't go past mild. read more

This place is legit. The food is absolutely, deliciously fresh and screaming with flavor. The customer service is friendly, sincere, and appreciative. The Chicken Tikka Masala is creamy and perfectly spiced. Good luck stopping at one garlic naan (trust me, you'll want more). The appetizer Gobi dish (forgot the name), is delightful - a party in your mouth guaranteed. Indian food is some of the best fare ever created and Hyderabad Cafe creatively brings it to life. The remodel is beautiful, colorful, and eye-catching. The cleanliness is spot on and inviting. We will certainly return! Namaste! read more

We tried this new restaurant for dinner tonight. Really friendly and tasty food. I'm so glad to have another option for Indian food in town. Walk up to the register to order and pay. Take a seat and they'll call your name when your food is ready. Seems to be family run, and they really care if you like the food. Can't wait to try more on the menu. read more
