Garlic Naan (you get 4 pieces...we were just hungry before I realized I needed to take pix.
Jennifer F.

I've been here twice and each experience was great! I love Indian food but am not familiar with all the types. My friend swore she didn't like Indian food, but I convinced her to give it a shot. Let's just say she didn't resist when I suggested it for lunch again a few weeks later. We entered the bldg and the decor was cute...instagram-ish. We looked over the menu, which can be intimidating if you're not familiar with the cuisine. The waitress explained the menu and flavors for the items we inquired about so don't be intimidated or afraid to ask. The first visit, I got the chicken lollipops, which were really good. My friend ordered the Chicken Vijayawada (VJW) Biriyani. This was so good. I ordered the Tikka Masala and it was delicious as well! You can request mild, medium, and hot. I opted for the hot, which had some heat, but good nonetheless! The garlic naan was soooo good, too. Be sure to add an order to whatever you get; it pairs perfectly with whatever you order. For the second visit, the chicken VJW was on the line up again, the Monagadi Biriyani, chili chicken lollipops, and garlic naan of course. We liked the regular chicken lollipops better, but the chili ones were still good. Both Biriyanis were flavorful and the portions are massive. Definitely big enough for two people to eat off of for a meal. They have plenty of other traditional and some other unique offerings with a large variety of meat and veggie options. I highly recommend giving this place a try, especially if you love Indian food and if you want a good first experience with it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Garlic Naan

I brought my nieces here for Sunday lunch, for their first time. When we arrived it was pretty empty. The girl working instructed us in which area we could sit. They have bottles of water already placed on the tables but I'm not a fan of this. Especially if they aren't going to remove the used bottles from previous guests. The service was kind of rude but perhaps it's a cultural dynamic. The Garlic naan is top tier .. delicious everytime. I ordered the majestic chicken ( mild) spice level. It was a nice portion and flavorful. One of my nieces had a weekend special biryanis dish & she said it was okay. My other niece couldn't decide so she just ate what we had. The portions are insane!! Lots to share. We all agreed they we don't have to comeback here. Respectfully.

After trying this restaurant earlier in the week, I knew I had to bring my son back to experience the delicious food for himself. The decor is fun, colorful, and delightfully eclectic. I especially loved the cherry blossom tree in the middle of the restaurant, complete with a mock phone booth. It gives the space a unique charm. We received excellent service from Samaja. She helped me choose a curry based on my love for rich, creamy dishes. I took her recommendation and ordered the Nawabi Masala, a hearty curry prepared with cashews and a rich gravy. I requested a mild to medium spice level and added chicken. My son ordered the Nellore Fish Curry, a spicy coastal dish made with fresh fish in the traditional Nellore style, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Apparently my definition of "mild to medium" and the kitchen's definition were a little different. My son was perfectly happy with his spice level, while I was over there trying to convince everyone I was handling mine just fine. Samaja and another gentleman both came over to check on me. I don't know if there was steam rising from my head or what! Even though it was spicier than I had hoped, it was absolutely delicious. Samaja kindly brought me a creamy yogurt mixture to help tame the heat, and it made a huge difference. She also surprised us with a small serving of a sweet, lemon flavored pudding that she said would help cool my palate, along with a chilled bottle of water. Her attentiveness and genuine desire to make sure I enjoyed my meal were exceptional and very much appreciated. The only suggestion I would make is to enhance the drink selection a bit. This is the only reason for giving a 4 star review rather than a 5. Otherwise, this is an outstanding place for authentic, flavorful Indian cuisine with wonderful service. We'll definitely be back!

Really good Indian food! I highly recommend getting these chilli chicken lollipops if you like spice, they were really flavorful. The biryani was also really flavorful and they give you a large portion, I feel like I could split up the leftovers into three portions. The inside is really pretty and clean. The service, however, was kind of slow and it seemed like they were understaffed. Also the bathrooms were kinda disgusting I can't even lie, it was a little off putting

I went with some friends to Hyderabad House and had a great experience. The appetizers were a nice size. I ordered the cashew chicken. I went with the mild spice which was perfect for me. I liked that it was more of a dry rub rather than extremely saucy. When you visit, don't forget an order of the garlic naan bread!!

I've been to Hyderabad House a few times, but my favorite visits are their special buffet days, typically on holidays. Theres not much service during these but staff is still there to help you out. This is possibly the best Indian buffet. There are so many different options and each time is a lot different. I often times end up seeing something I've never tried before. It's usually a mixture of starters, soups, curries, rice dishes and sometimes a live samosa chaat. It's usually fairly busy but worth the wait and it's great to hear the music paired with cricket on the TVs for a lively atmosphere. The buffet food is alway top notch. My typical favorites are the onion pakora, nawabi curry and the OG chicken biryani. I have made it a tradition to go here every time there's a holiday because it's so good!

My wife and I recently had the opportunity to dine at Hyderabad House Indian Cuisine in Hoover after being invited by the owner to experience a curated selection of their most popular dishes. We left incredibly impressed--not only by the quality of the food, but also by the warm hospitality from the entire staff. The meal began with Vegetable Samosas, which were golden, flaky, and filled with a perfectly seasoned potato mixture. Next came the Manchow Soup, a comforting, flavorful soup topped with crispy noodles that had just the right amount of spice. One of the biggest highlights of the evening was the Chicken Lollipops. They were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned beautifully. These disappeared from the table almost immediately and were one of our favorite dishes of the night. We then enjoyed the Andhra Chicken Curry with fresh Garlic Naan. The curry was rich, aromatic, and layered with spice without overwhelming the palate. The naan was soft, buttery, and perfect for soaking up every bit of the sauce. This was another standout dish that I would order again without hesitation. The Vijayawada Special Chicken Biryani was exactly what great biryani should be--fragrant long-grain rice, tender chicken, and bold spices that came together in every bite. It was served with traditional accompaniments that balanced the flavors perfectly. For dessert, we sampled both the Apricot Delight and Gulab Jamun. The Apricot Delight was easily one of the best desserts of the evening, offering a creamy, fruity finish that wasn't overly sweet. The Gulab Jamun was warm, soft, and soaked in fragrant syrup--a classic done well. To finish, we enjoyed a Mango Lassi, and it was honestly one of the best I've had. It was smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered two bottles to take home before we left. Every dish showcased authentic flavors, generous portions, and careful preparation. While everything we tried was excellent, our personal favorites were the Chicken Lollipops, Andhra Chicken Curry with Garlic Naan, Vijayawada Special Chicken Biryani, Apricot Delight, and of course the Mango Lassi. A sincere thank you to Hyderabad House for the invitation and wonderful hospitality. We truly enjoyed the experience and are already looking forward to our next visit. If you're searching for authentic Indian cuisine in the Birmingham/Hoover area, Hyderabad House absolutely deserves a spot on your list.

Great atmosphere! Wonderful service! Server was very kind. I ordered the manchow veg soup. Delicious but spicy! So good! I also got the butter chicken and chili chicken. Both fantastic! I'll definitely be back!

Chilli Chicken Lollipops

My wife and I went and ate lunch at Hyderabad house and the service and food experience couldn't have been more lovely. The customer service was awesome and the staff were very friendly. There are some pretty decorations in the restaurant which make you feel warm and welcome. Everything that we ate was great. My wife has been talking about the afghani chicken for 24 hours since we ate there and I thoroughly enjoyed everything as well. I really like the spices and flavors. Will be a regular eating here

This is my 2nd time coming here. The 1st time was for a Yelp event but the food was so good I had to come back. Restaurant is clean and has some beautiful decor. Staff is friendly and was so nice and accommodating. I ordered the Butter Marsala and got it with medium spice. I also ordered the garlic naan. The food is so fresh and the ingredients they use add so much to the dish. I hope this place sticks around. Great place for some authentic Indian cuisine.

Majestic Chicken and Natalie's food I forget the name of lol
Lucy T.

After going to the Hyderabad House Yelp event, I was back two days later as a customer because the food was THAT good! I was not tired of it! I ordered the Majestic Chicken with a side of Naan bread. The Majestic Chicken is some of the best chicken I've ever had. It's so tangy and flavorful! I could not get enough of it! The Naan bread was good too. The atmosphere of Hyderabad House is so inviting as well. Possibly my favorite Indian restaurant now!

Hands. Down. The best Indian food I have had in a Long Time (since living in Southern California). The most authentic Indian food I have in the ENTIRETY of the South. We had the Dosa and Naan where were both made fresh and fantastic. Then we had the Mutton Sukka. I wish it had a little less bone in it but that's a personal preference and the flavor profile was wonderful. Finally we had the Vijayawada-style chicken biryanis which was absolutely spectacular. We will definitely be back. Often.

Many many curries on rice and noodles
Vasha H.

I had dinner here with a group of friends, about eight of us, and had no wait time and fairly quick service. While we waited we looked around, a somewhat fun/odd juxtaposition of a pink tree and white phone booth with American and British cartoons on the two TVs I could see. The food was almost entirely excellent, we ordered different curry sauces and mostly white rice, and all but the butter curry were excellent, with some nice spice and a lot of flavor. The butter curry was liked by a few of us, myself I thought it lacked flavor and spice. The chicken curry was my favorite. I also prefer Manchurian Rice which was supposed to be high on the spice Meyer but only had a slightly spicy kick. I still enjoyed it more than the white rice. Eating the dishes tapas style was a lot of fun, mixing six or seven curries on white rice, spicy rice, noodles and nan bread ordered for an appetizer, it was quite pleasant, even though I quickly lost track of which curry was which. So many of them were so flavorful that I just enjoyed the ride. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, and the dishes, starting with appetizers, came out fairly quickly, well cooked and ample portions. One of us got a beryani dish, it was so big and intimidating that I didn't tackle it but the presentation was fun. A whole poached egg was delivered with it, I kind of think it could have been quartered and perhaps spiced up a bit - imagine deviled egg curry style! (Hint hint Hyderabad). Don't hesitate to visit, it's a cheerful, spicy spot for a great meal.

Most…read moreparticipating restaurants have a curated menu for the week so you can try dishes they want highlighted. We started with the onion methi spinach pakora as an app. This was kind of like a hush puppy with fried onions mixed in. The brown sauce was amazingly sweet but spicy - definitely our favorite of the two. We chose chicken tikka masala, chicken tandoori, and vegetable korma as our entrees. This came with a serving of basmati rice. We thought this was a great combo of things - chicken in a sauce - chicken fire grilled and on the bone - and veggies in a sauce. We'd recommend all 3 of these and would get the exact same thing again! We are huge fans of garlic naan, so of course we both had to get an order of that. The "Dinner for Two" for $54.99 included all of this and a bottle of wine! It says that this is their special Tuesday-Thursday. Service was extremely friendly and parking was no issue. It's in a shopping center off Lorna Road. We will definitely be back!

I picked up the meal and they were friendly and offered me a water while I waited and asked me some detailed questions about rices and such to make sure I got what was expected. Also let me know that I could get some good deals on the website instead of the delivery app I ordered through. The food was delicious. The curries are spicy and the meats tender. The rices absorb and mix with the dishes wonderfully. Everything was so good. I'll be back, the ambiance was fascinatingly Indian themed and I want to do a sit down dinner in the restaurant for that reason.

The boneless short ribs were tender, flavorful, and delicious. Served with a little shredded lettuce, they disappeared quickly! For our entrees, we decided to order family-style so everyone could sample a variety of dishes. We chose the Chicken Rogan Josh, Aloo Gobhi Matar, Bay Leaf Kebab Sizzler, and two orders of Garlic Naan. Everything was delicious, but the Kebab Sizzler was especially impressive. It features a combination of seasoned meat and seafood served on a sizzling cast-iron pan. The steam, aroma, and presentation were fantastic, and it was as good as it looked. Overall, Bay Leaf was a great choice for dinner. The food was flavorful, portions were generous, and ordering family-style allowed us to enjoy a nice variety of dishes. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for good Indian food!

It's especially a good idea to try the lunch buffet if you aren't familiar with Indian food, as you have the opportunity to try several different dishes to see what you like.

Before we even arrived, I pointed out to my husband that I thought the price point was a little high, but maybe the quality of food made up for it. So we arrive and see a long line of folks waiting for their food. We get up to order, and their out of samosa?!? A main staple and you're out after being here for 30 minutes?!? Oh well... we place our order and wait. And wait. And wait some more. And wait a little more. Close to an HOUR of waiting. We finally get our food and head back home. Like I said at the beginning of the review, I was worried about the price, and it def. didn't live up to the quality/quantity. My rice was cold (HOW?!? After waiting an hour), the salad and naan were minimal, and so was the raita. My husband enjoyed the flavor of his chicken and fries, but again I don't think it was worth the cost. The person who gave us our food asked us to let him know how the food was, so here ya go... we won't be coming back.
