A+ Excellent food, full of flavor. If you're w vegetarian I recommend the jackfruit biryani and the mixed veggie kadai curry. Service was super quick and very friendly. Prices very reasonable for the Bay Area. read more

Hyderabad Dum Biryani - Jackfruit biryani and mixed veg kadai curry. - Indian Near Me - Mountain View, California

I came here alone for lunch. The interior of the story is tiny! There's only 3-4 tables inside. Not a lot of people could sit inside. You order via kiosk and they bring the food out to you. There is no service really, they hand you a cup and water. Which is fine, it's decently cheap. I ordered 2 items: the boneless biryani extra spicy, and chili chicken. Boneless biryani was really good. Very flavorful, great spice, and I couldn't even finish it. The portion is very good and I think I would get this item again. The chili chicken was almost the same price, but you don't get that much. I think because portion was small, price of $10 is more reasonable for it IMO. Because biryani value is good, I would come back, but would be good to see value of the non-biryani items be a bit better; either bigger portion size or lower price. read more

2.5 stars overall We got their biryani to go a while back and it was okay, too spicy and oily, which was a bummer as we wanted a good flavorful biryani without it being super spicy, hence the lower rating. Overall not a bad spot but wish biryani was a bit better than I experienced read more

I got the vegan gobi manchurian delivered for a work lunch, it was very flavorful. They have a fairly extensive vegan menu which is nice. Portion size was not very big. read more

Hyderabad Dum Biryani - vegan gobi manchurian - Indian Near Me - Mountain View, California

Hands down the best Indian food I have had in California! Better than London, or anywhere we have traveled. I just have not been to India. Recommended to everyone. read more

This is a decent India restaurant with a variety of North indian and Indo-Chinese dishes. Biggest plus, in my opinion is that they special vegan menu as well. However , when I got a Vegan Jackfruit Biryani, they served the yogurt sauce ( raita ) with it too. So I hope employees are little better trained about Vegan food. Have tried a few other things like the Bagara Baigan ( Eggplant in peanut sauce), Tofu 65 (vegan) and few other dishes and generally they taste well. read more

The restaurant initially told me my order would take 10 minutes so I waited on the porch. I checked after 10 minutes and again after 15 minutes, but the order was not ready until approximately 25 minutes after I placed it. A customer who ordered after me received his food before I did. While eating the biryani, I found a short, visibly coarse hair in the food, lying across the egg and rice. I stopped eating immediately. I have attached a photo showing exactly how I found it. The restaurant told me that it would issue a refund, but I have not received the refund as of today. I understand that the refund and service issues may not fall within your jurisdiction, but I am including them as part of the incident record. My primary concern is the foreign hair and the restaurant's food-handling and sanitation practices. read more

Mom & Pop's homecooked dishes at its best!! Our food were so delish & enjoyable, the goat was my fave. Staff was friendly, chairs were comfy, it felt homey. Love this place! Happy we tried it here & certainly will be back. read more

Excellent tandoori chicken. Honestly about the best ive had in the area. Kneesh was great

I really love the food by Hyderabad dum biryani I usually get their family size panner 65 biryani and make it extra spicy. I really love their salad as well. The ambience of the place is pretty decent smaller of like a local restaurant ambience is fine. The service is good. I order from this place several times and would definitely recommend it. read more

The Gobi Manchurian was overly seasoned, and the tandoor chicken was way under seasoned. We got the Hyderabadi Mutton Dum Biryani with medium spice but this was not spicy at all. read more

This is easily one of my favorite spots in Mountain View! The Chicken Dum Biryani and Maharaja Butter Chicken are absolutely delicious. The spices are always spot on, and the food is consistently fresh. The service is also great and super quick. If you are looking for authentic and flavorful Indian food, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended!" read more

Got the Chicken 65 and the dum biryani. Service was quick but only takeout was allowed. The chicken 65 was decent, but needs to be spicier. The biryani was disappointingly bland, but maybe I just have higher expectations of Indian food cuz nostalgia. read more

Excellent if you like spice vegetarian or chicken biryani . Good service. Will recommend.

Have ordered from this place probably about a half dozen times and previous experiences have been positive. Good butter chicken, paneer and biryani dishes. Service was friendly and portions were above average. Would have given 4 or 5 stars based on those visits. However, I'm not sure I can go back after the last takeout order. Ordered mild spice because we were sharing with a young child but everything was too spicy even for the adults. What's worse though, is that we ordered some palak paneer that had pieces of charred inedible pieces of something in it that made the whole meal garbage. We've ordered the palak paneer from here many times before and it was one of our favorite dishes. I hate to post such a negative review after so many positive experiences, but I can't believe the staff would serve this to thier customers. I honestly queston whether it was safe to eat and whether they would have served it to their own kids. Maybe this was a one time mistake, but I think they need to know this is unacceptable. I was going to give a 1-star review, but I'm giving 2 stars because of all the positve experiences I had here previously. Hope someone reads this and makes some changes to quality control of what gets served. read more

Worst biryani I've ever had . Just rice and some uncooked dried meat. Is that called Hyderabad biryani?

This was my first time ordering from Hyderabad. I ordered the Butter Chicken lunch (delivery) - which included roti, samosas & gulab jamun. It's a great value for $15.99 - however, they forgot the roti, which was disappointing. Also, the rice and butter chicken were salty (I've never had rice that was over salted before, so that was a weird experience). Giving it 3 stars for now - would like to try other dishes (Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Biryani) to see if it improves. read more

Delicious!! I was so satisfied! Butter chicken is with the hype. I never had Biryani before, so I tried the spicy seafoods option; surprisingly burst with flavors! Arrive was good, they are super busy! Ambiance is more of a take-out place. Though you can dine there. read more

Hyderabad Dum Biryani - Interior view - Indian Near Me - Mountain View, California

I gave this place a try since I was tired of all the other Indian restaurants nearby, and they do have a large selection of items on their menu besides biryani. It's a small place, so don't go here for a dine-in experience. We ordered takeout, and it was ready really quickly, which is always good. We got the Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani, mutton sukka, egg hakka noodles, and gobi manchurian. I know ordering Indo-Chinese food from a biryani place can be hit or miss, but I gave it a try anyway. Surprisingly, the Indo-Chinese part of my order was pretty good, and I may go back here just to get that again. Biryani, on the other hand, was just about okay--not too great. Mutton sukka was also alright; it wasn't really sukka (dry), but it had a fair bit of gravy. Overall, I'd give this place a try if you are bored of other Indian restaurants in the neighborhood and want to try something new. read more

I went to this restaurant since Mountain View parking was badly congested and was in a hurry, so I noticed this restaurant on Apple Maps with a 4.2 rating, so I ultimately gave it a try. The restaurant wasn't in a particularly good neighborhood and the appearance from the outside wasn't appealing. The interior was small and old and was short staffed with no bathroom. There was only one person on the counter and didn't speak and understand English too well. We sat down and he gave us our menus and we ordered butter chicken, chicken biryani mild spice, and some garlic naan. He gave us our plates which were unsanitary with multiple food stains and visible smears still on the plates. He also gave us our plastic utensils, napkins and a water pitcher with had some sort of mold inside so we didn't drink it. We also covered the plates with the napkins since we didn't want cross-contamination. The food arrived pretty quickly, but the portions were a bit small and overpriced. Overall, the food tasted decent, nothing special, but the mild spice was definitely not mild and was very spicy. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place since of hygiene issues with not a great ambience and overpriced food, and recommend you go to one of the restaurants in downtown Mountain View. read more

We had the pleasure of eating here twice. Once for dinner and once for brunch On Sunday. The brightest spot on our time in London happened to be our server Iamini! She was so incredible. she loved her job and the restaurant she spoke of all the menu items with absolute passion. She is the perfect ambassador for your new restaurant in NYC. You should send this bright light to NY to train and help open this great restaurant in the US. The food was spectacular but the staff steals the show. Everyone is a standout! Thank You. read more

Very Poor service, meal took forever, added extra naan bread to go, and finally had to ask waitress where is it. it was on the counter waiting for her. She couldnt speak english well enough to describe the menu. i got an unexpected dish, the prices were high. Maybe its good if your indian, but it sure isnt if your not. the guy next to me, got free drinks. i got water, he got jar of napkins, i got one togo utensil with one napkin. I will give all my future business to the mexician place next door, who is very freindly. read more

Got some delivery and everything was packaged well. No spills. Loved everything. The manchurian fish was so flavorful and delicious, a little on the salty side but I'd still get it again! The curries were both sooooo good! Butter chicken was creamy and delicious! Goat curry was spicy and tender! Would get delivery from here again! read more

Absolutely enjoyed the mutton biryani. Meat is very well done. I ordered spicy, it was perfect spice level for me. Both salan and raita that came with it very different and tasty. In addition to that we ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and Butter Naan. Naan was very soft. This place seemed like more geared towards takeouts with very few tables for dine-in. The service was pretty good too. read more

My friend recommended Hyderabad Dum Biryani as an authentic chain for biryani, so we decided to try their Mountain View location. We got one Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani and one Paneer 65 Biryani, both with extra protein (chicken/paneer). The Chicken Dum Biryani was quite delicious - the rice has good flavors, and the chicken was very tender and well-marinated. For the price, they gave me lots of chicken. I was pretty satisfied with the chicken biryani until I tried the paneer 65 - it's omg-level of tasty!!! The paneer was probably the best I've had so far - spicy and savory, packed with flavors. I was shocked at how flavorful the paneer was, given how hard it is to marinate paneers. The rice in Paneer 65 also tasted more flavorful than the one in chicken dum biryani. This is the best biryani I have had in a long time and I'd love to try their chicken 65 biryani! read more

Eager to visit this local joint, however, it was a letdown. The biryani and paneer were average and overpriced, though the naan and roti were good. I would not be sure to come back. read more

Excellent Biryani options and great service. Quality maintained and has consistent taste.

I bought a mutton biryani. It was pathetic. Rice was half cooked. Mutton was not fresh. Total waste!

First time coming here and ordered the boneless chicken biryani, butter chicken, samosas, and garlic naan. The host was really nice and waited as our order took about 25 minutes to complete. The chicken biryani was medium spicy and really flavorful with a pretty sizable portion. The garlic naan was fragrant (though a bit oily for my taste). The samosa was fried well and the filling was good, and the butter chicken was also good. Nice place and would come back to try other dishes. read more

Indgo is a nice spot to grab some Indian takeout food in Mountain View! I tried the Tikka Masala Combo, which came out to $18.59 total. The Tikka Masala was nice and creamy and the side vegetarian dish, Palak Paneer, was equally filling and flavorful. The combo also came with lots of rice and bread to round out the plate. The food was prepared quickly, and from ordering to leaving I was in and out of there in less than 20 minutes. The staff was friendly and organized as well. Also, they offer a 25% off coupon for first-time subscribers to their loyalty program on Square Up. Be sure to enter your phone number upon checkout on the point of sale terminal to join in. I'm glad to have tried this spot and will definitely be back for more delicious Indian food! read more

I came here for mango lassi and it was okay.. def not my favorite place and they added some seasoning into it. I think they said cumin? Not sure. The seating is pretty small so don't plan on coming with a big party. Overall food was super good! We ordered the samosas, chicken Hyderabad dum biryani and paneer masala with garlic naan. The masala was a little sweeter than what I would have liked, but still delicious! The portions for the biryani is pretty big so a regular is plenty! read more

Super nice, warm and courteous staff. The mango panda cotta was very good. The paneer wrap was good but waaay too spicy for me and I could not finish it. I should have known and asked for mild since it is Andhra food. read more

Excellent mouth watering kebabs, delicious biryanis. Flavor and consistency take the front seat at Hyderabadi dum biriyani. Love it!

Ordered their Chicken mandi biryani, tandoor kabab mix and mutton gravy. Service and pickup experience was fast. Chicken Mandi Biryani was a hit and miss - Rice was flavored , chicken tandoori on the biryani felt dry Tandoor kabab mix was just right, have had better Mutton gravy was great. There is not much space for dine-in if you plan to go there for dining. read more

Yummmm. Came here for an early dinner and there was no one. You can sit anywhere. The space is pretty small, but provides what you need. FYI doesn't seem like there's a bathroom, but I didn't ask. We ordered the samosa, chicken biryani and chicken tikka masala. Samosas were really good. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the side. The flavor was rich but not too salty. The biryani had very fragrant rice and included two drumsticks. The chicken was tender and not dry at all! The chicken tikki masala is your basic curry. Completely met expectations. We got garlic naan with it, and the naan was nicely baked- not burnt at all. We also had mango lassi and it was sooooo good. Not too sweet, was nice and creamy, and just a really comforting drink. The waiter made sure multiple times that things were ok, and made sure that our food was ok. Overall, great service, great food, what more can you ask for. read more

Hyderabad Dum Biryani is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant serving seriously spicy biryani! The Hyderabad Mutton Dum Biryani came with bone-in chunks of mutton topped with basmati rice mixed with masala spices, topped with fried onions and half an egg, and served with salan (curry sauce) and raita (spiced yogurt) on the side, which added a spicy and cooling touch, respectively. We also had the Tikka Kebab Mix, a tricolor plate of juicy boneless dark meat chicken with three different marinades: red for the classic chicken tikka, white for malai (cream), and my favorite, green for hariyali (cilantro and mint). Finally, we had the Chicken Chettinad, made of bone-in dark meat chicken in a thick, peppery coconut gravy. The curry went nicely with the fresh-baked Tandoori Roti and Peshwari Naan, which had a filling of crushed almonds/pistachios and was drizzled with honey. Overall, the food here was boldly spiced, colorful, and delicious, and the service was friendly too! read more
