My wife and I went to Hyderabad House for dinner. It was a rainy and windy evening, which made the spicy Veg 65 appetizer all the more delightful. Hyderabad House is off Michigan Road, near Costco. It offers dine-in and carry-out options. We chose to dine in, and I was excited to try the biryani. There are tons of options to customize your biryani or even dosa. There are North Indian options as well. My wife had the uthapam, which she found to be tasty. The ambiance is simple, with each table having water bottles ready. There is the quintessential tv that seems to be playing Bollywood music videos and film dance scenes on repeat. All in all, 9.5/10. Tasty and nicely spiced food. South Indian food made by South Indians. read more

I was so excited to discover this delicious restaurant! I came here on a whim after doing Painting with a Twist close by. When we walked in everything looked so new and clean. We went to the counter and got some menu's before sitting down. I could not believe all the Biryani options available! There was a whole page to choose from! Of coarse that is what I ordered! We were not waiting long for our food. Everything looked fresh and it was delicious! I'm definitely coming back here when I am on this side of town read more

This is one of my new favorite Indian spots. The chicken tikka masala was spicy, creamy, and chicken was tender and juicy. The garlic naan was amazing as well. Service was very polite and fast. People seem happy to work there. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice. No loud music, and even though it was busy for dinner it wasn't too loud. I can't wait to try more dishes from here! read more

The is a great local place. When I was there, the food tasted fresh. I hope they keep that quality. A meal is ruined when ingredients aren't fresh. It's also important to have good customer service. read more

Pretty disappointed in my food. Ordered delivery and for what I paid - I'm upset. I ordered the Malai Kebab Special for $17 and the two Samosas for $6, the food is dry, a little warm and the chicken is bland. It could have at least come with rice at this price. No safety seal on the bag or to go styrofoam, with covid - It would be nice to see some sort of precaution when it comes to deliveries of food. read more

Very tasty food. We got four different dishes and shared them. One quibble... In Indian and Thai restaurants in Indiana, they have the following scale of spiciness: not spicy, little spicy, spicy, extra spicy, Indian/Thai spicy. The reason is simple: Hoosiers in Hoosierland cannot take spicy. Even the ones who ask for "extra spicy" have no idea what spicy is, so Indian/Thai restaurant owners think they are joking and treat their order accordingly. Unless you use the code words: "Indian spicy" or "Thai spicy". That's how the owners know that you are not messing around and are serious as a mofo. I used the code words "Indian spicy". The Indian dude behind the counter gave a mischievous smile when I uttered the code words. I thought he took it as a challenge and my GI would hate me tomorrow (but my taste buds would thank me today). Instead, the dish arrived "white boy spicy", at best. They did not honor the sacred code words "Indian spicy". They thought this yellow boy had the palate of a cornfed white boy and gave me white boy spicy instead of Indian spicy. Shame. read more

Hyderabad House - I order "Indian spicy". It came "white boy spicy". - Indian Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Normally order from the Castleton location and absolutely love it, but I was passing through the Michigan Road area and decided to try here for the first time. Atmosphere: My partner and I always order carry out since biryani takes 45 minutes, but if you're looking for a dine-in experience, the Castleton location has better ambiance. Vijayawada (Boneless Chicken) Biryani: flavorful, but my "medium spicy" was incredibly mild. Probably should have ordered "extra spicy" to achieve the same effect as the Castleton location's "medium spicy." I did appreciate the garnish of red onion and the lime slice that I've not seen from Castleton. As always, the yoghurt and peanut sauces that come with the biryani is delicious. Garlic naan: my partner and I agreed Michigan Road has better garlic naan--perhaps some of the best naan I've had in the city! Light and fluffy. Samosas: seem standard across both locations and are always delicious! Crispy outside with a mouthful of flavor in every bite. I could put the dipping sauce on everything. Staff were very kind when picking up my order and even threw in a few free gulab jamun! Overall will continue to order from this location when it's more convenient, but will have to find the right spice level to match Castleton. read more

BEST. BIRYANI. EVER. I'm not exaggerating when I say this but they have the most flavorful and worth the price biryanis here. My sister went ahead and picked up the Vijayawada Special Chicken Biryani for me and the Spicy Paneer Biryani for herself. They also provide a Saalan and Raita along with every Biryani. If you get their family pack, you get an appetizer and dessert with it! Really go try it, you won't be disappointed. If I'm ever around this area in Indy, i will more likely than not pick up some Biryani on the way back home for dinner They have great packaging along with utensils for pickup. So that's always a +! read more

First time visiting. Stopped in for the lunch buffet. The restaurant is bright and has plenty of seating. The buffet has a good amount of choices to pick from and the food is fresh and hot. There are water bottles on the tables, which is nice and saves you from having to ask for refills. The staff was friendly and I would come again. read more

2nd time here. I wasn't thrilled with my first time, so I gave it a 2nd chance. I'm glad I did. I got the Saag Paneer (my go-to Indian dish) via carryout. I had ordered spicy, and like a fool, I should have done mild or medium at most. It was so spicy, but I kept eating it. Had half for dinner, then lunch the next day. I loved that there were lots of paneer cubes and the flavor was great. I can usually handle spicy foods, but that was a little much for my Caucasian stomach lol I haven't been to the Castleton location but I'm so glad that I gave the Michigan Rd. one another shot. No photos because I was too hungry. read more

Changing my previous 3 star to 5 stars after my second visit. I'll rank the dishes I had today: 1. Lamb Korma (spicy) 2. Lamb Korma (medium) 3. Butter Chicken 4. Cashew Chicken 5. Lollipop Chicken 6. Chicken Saag I also had a sweet mango lassi and naan. But these to items are pretty standard and in my experience taste pretty much the same wherever you go. I thought the lollipop chicken and chicken saag were a little bland. The Michigan Rd Hyderabad House location's benchmark for what is "spicy" is much lower than the spice level at Castleton Corner. Michigan Rd's spice level is more in line with what the average person expects, while Castleton Corner's default medium is like Michigan Rd's "spicy". Michigan Rd doesn't offer much of a dining experience. It's more like a strip mall experience a few booths/tables. I'd rather get carry out there. Castleton Corner is a place you'd take the family for a special occasion. Castleton also has way more seating, is always super busy with long wait times, and they always have way more cakes available. I believe the prices are the same at both locations. I feel like it is justified at Castleton Corner given the full on dining experience. On the other hand, Michigan Rd has my favorite item on the menu while Castleton doesn't: lamb korma. Overall, it's not 5 stars because of the cost. This order was $110. But the carry out containers do a fantastic job of keeping it fresh in the fridge (the lids snap tightly and they don't use cardboard boxes for the rice like many Indian places do). Both locations use the same carry out containers. read more

You're kidding right? If this isn't some of the most flavorful, freshest, best prepared Indian food you've put in your mouth south of Chicago, then I don't know what to tell you. This place passes the first test, which is that it appears to be very popular with the local Indian community. We were some of the very few non-Indian customers, and that's a great thing! Next might be environment. It's a little strip mall box store, so aesthetics aren't great. But cleanliness is. Everything was clean and organized and presented as best they could manage. Finally is the taste. And the taste was lightyears past any other Indian around the area. Every single dish had a good mix of flavors and spices and character. The chili baby corns were a personal favorite. But everything I tried was great. I'd highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

Hyderabad House - Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Chicken, Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This restaurant is in northwest Indiana next door to Zionsville (a very safe suburb of Indianapolis), and a short drive from the Purdue campus. Good food and service. The paneer dosa (a crepe stuffed with cheese) was delicious, and it came with a coconut chutney condiment (coconut is very anti-virus and great for gut health). I wanted to buy some bottled water, but the manager basically said don't worry about paying for it. So, I left a generous tip. read more

Amazing food! Great Service! 10 on 10. Food quality was very good and very rich in flavor. Me and husband tried - Mutton Dosa and paneer tikka dosa. read more

Best Indian food in town. Flavor is great quality is good. I will say you should make sure your order is right before you leave.

I like Indian food buffets as much as the next person, but when I want a punch of heady, flavorful and spicy punch of chicken biryani, this is the place. Well spiced and seasoned, the food here is the stuff that you crave when you want a blast of flavor. read more

Unassuming inside, but the food was fresh, flavorful, and lasted 2+ meals. We had the garlic naan, butter masala, and tikka masala. I'll be back. read more

The food was good but the service was horrible. I ate there last night with a friend. We didn't get our rice, we didn't get our soup and we had to ask for it. We were never Re approached by the server and had to actually get up from the table to get assistance. Horrible time. read more

We were visiting out of state and went to eat here two nights in a row - it is that good. Between the two nights, we had goat biryani, fish fry, gongura mutton curry, chicken 65 and garlic naans. Each and every dish was outstanding - which is not something I usually say about Indian restaurants in the US. The garlic naans were one of the best I have had - and their chikoo shake was fresh and perfect to wash down the spice. Authentic, tasty Indian food with a friendly staff. Highly recommended. read more

Super amazing dum chikan biryani and Manchurian Best quality and the quantity they serve of biryani is good as well read more

Food is nice especially Briyani, but not the service. Food is nice especially Briyani, but not the service

The taste of biryani is not good, getting the flavor of only bay leaf and star anise apart from that nothing great

The naan was HUGE, the food was delicious! I was worried for a moment since I couldn't figure out how to request a different level of spiciness for my food. But the spiciness was wonderful anyways- definitely not too mild, thankfully!!! I've only had Hyderabad House delivered, and it's always been stellar! read more

Last 2 visits have been so bad. For the amount that's getting charged for each item, the food could have been better. Whatever style of biryani you order, the rice base remains the same and it's just the style of meat that goes with the biryani varies (chili chicken vs goat fry, etc). Had bad experiences with goat biryani in my last 2 visits and their prime food (Vijayawada chicken biryani) was okayish. 2 star is for the portion of food served. I'd prefer Castleton location than N Michigan location. read more

The food was okay but unfortunately they have poor service. We went to eat on Easter and when we ordered our food, we waited for literally 1 HR and a half and they never even gave us our exact orders. They served us something else instead, food that we never ordered. My mom also ordered a drink that I had to ask for because he'd forgot about it and he eventually got it. My dad also ordered some Naan's that they'd completely forgot about. They also never gave us our receipts to know exactly how much food we ordered and if it was exactly what we ordered. If you order food and you're not aware of what you got, they WILL give you something else. read more

We were visiting from Michigan looking for good food. We found it! The food was fantastic and so was the hospitality!

A small place with a limited dine-in area. The food is not bad but the service is a bit slow. There was a group of people at a neighboring table, sounded like there was some confusion about their order, lots of trips back and forth to get the correct dishes. read more

Deelish! Everything came out piping hot and oh my was it delicious! Great dosa and chutney.

We pass this spot every time we go to Costco so my mom decided to give it a try. Don't go. Rude staff, un attentive and dismissive. My mom came in the afternoon. There were people seated but it seemed like the place was only occupied with a online order. They never addressed my mom and kept filling bags. Never going back. Horrible treatment and I can only assume the same goes for their food. read more

This is an excellent Indian restaurant with dishes from regions in India that you don't see elsewhere. But you need to know post covid that it is now what they are calling self-service. They no longer have servers or even china plates. Most of the tables are gone. You can eat there but your food comes out packed for carryout. They will give you a paper plate and plastic utensils, but the food is in containers in a bag. There's not a thing wrong with this as long as you know what to expect. The next time I have a taste for Indian food I'll probably order takeout from them read more

Great lunch spot. Fresh food. Service takes a little bit, so plan accordingly. We tried the Chicken Tikka Dosa and Chicken Tikka Marsala. Portions are large so you'll have leftovers I'm sure! read more

So, after 3 tries of this place I decided to review it. Chicken tikka masala is my comfort food, and I've dined in here once and carried out twice. It's super close to my house so I want to love it, but I just don't. My order is always medium hot tikka masala and an order of garlic naan. The naan is always great, but the tikka just leaves something to be desired. Spice level is inconsistent , last time it tasted like they hadn't used any salt at all. I probably won't be back after calling for carry out and being told it would be 30 minutes (at 5 o clock? Strange but ok) and then my food wasn't ready until 45 minutes later. Woman at the counter was annoyed I was standing at the register waiting, and didn't try to hide it. I've likely learned my lesson and will drive farther for better quality. read more

I have been eating here often for about 2 years now. The food is very authentic & pretty consistent. This restaurant serves food from southern part of India. The Indian southern cuisine is ruled by aromatic spices, rich flavors & quite a bit of the spicy heat. Coconut & rice dominate the dishes - as these are extensively cultivated in southern India. Be adventurous & try more than the usual Samosa & Chicken Tikka Masala! They serve awesome Dosas - A fermented rice & lentil crepe dish, with a side of sambhar curry as dip & mildly spiced potatoes & chutney. The trick is to eat it the right way & the staff are very friendly & are more than happy to help with suggestions. If you are new to cuisine from southern India - I would strongly recommend their Sunday Buffet Lunch - where you can sample a bit of everything they have to offer! Do not miss out on the Biryani - Dum(steam cooked) basmati rice, fragrant with delicious spices & meat or even vegetables! And remember to hit the buffet around 12ish noon, as it can get pretty packed. All in all a solid 5 just for the authentic food. If you are willing to experiment & know what to expect in a South Indian restaurant, this place is a must stop! Bon Appetit my fellow foodies! read more

The only positive from my experience was that I was told my meal would be complimentary and the chicken tikka masala was decent. The wait time, customer service, and 2 changes on my card for different amounts (with corresponding refunds) is unacceptable. I placed my order by phone at 6:20pm (because online ordering kept giving me errors), arrived at 6:40, finally left with my order at 8pm. The man behind the counter kept telling people 20, 15, 10, and 2 mins, but it was never that. He told me 2 mins, then it took about another 30. After I had waited over an hr, the employee asked if I'd rather butter chicken, I told him I ordered tikka masala. He rudely told me "I know what you ordered" then asked again if I wanted butter chicken. I asked if they have tikka masala, he said yes but it would be longer. I told him to cancel the order. He told me I couldn't cancel it. I asked how long it would be, he smiled, nodded, then answered his cell phone. When another man called the employee out for saying "2 mins" for his order then admitting that it would really be 15 mins, then admitting that he couldn't actually say how long it would be for his order, the response from the employee was to drag me into it by saying I'd been waiting just as long. My response was that I wasn't happy, I was furious. The other man asked to cancel his order and was told he'd have to cancel online since he placed it online. However there was no place to cancel online so he had to continue waiting, because he had already paid online. An Uber eats driver came during that time and was told that either the order was cancelled because it had been 20 mins or that it would be another 20 mins until it was ready, then the employee walked into the kitchen without clarification or explaination. The Uber driver had to call his customer to say he wasn't sure what was going on with the order. The previous man ended up calling the owner to inform him about what was happening, I left before that conversation ended. My background is public relations and human resources. I don't leave bad reviews, because I understand the impact that they can have on a business and sometimes people just have a bad day. I have never had such an overwhelming bad customer service experience. I will never eat here again. And you cannot blame the wait and customer service on covid. There are reviews similar to mine on Yelp and Facebook going back 4 and 5 years. If you want to try their food, it seems the Castleton location may be better. read more

My hubs and I are moving, and my folks are staying with us before the transition, so we had to stealthily order some dinner for delivery one night. (Don't judge- the mom is a terrible cook!) It was really good! We got chicken tikka masala (hot) and garlic naan, delivered by door dash (thanks Inga!!) We had never tried this place before, but we will again. It was really good and the spice level was perfect, not too hot. Highly recommend this place! read more
