Portions were very small for what we paid. Only one table in restaurant so definitely get it for takeout. Did not look like a restaurant from the outside or the inside. One naan bread for $4 caught me off guard, especially when we were ordering 2. Also in the picture you can see for the butter chicken it was maybe 4-5 pieces in the sauce which wasn't enough for the cost. Still everything was delicious though and I would consider returning if prices were lower.

Great Sunday buffet with live dosa and chaat station. Buffet included masala chai and lassi…read more There wasn't a whole lot of vegetarian items but I was happy and still ate way too much. Besides the live dosa man, service was non existent. Nobody ever cleared the dirty plates from the table and I had to go ask for cups for the water, even though they had places a container of water on the table. The small bowls that are usually made of stainless steel at Indian buffets were Styrofoam here, which I did not like at all. Prices are higher than what they advertised on their Facebook page. They add a surcharge for paying with a credit card. It was $51 and some change for two of us to eat after tax. Not bad for what we got. I've eaten dinner here too, off the menu and enjoyed my dosa and daal tadka.

I came here Saturday at 1 with my daughter and was meeting a friend. We were seated immediately and staff were kind. They had shah paneer here which is one of my favs so off course I had to get that, I also got an order of the butter paneer masala and out of those two I actually loved the buttered paneer masala more here though both were amazing. I also placed an order of the salt and pepper mushrooms, garlic and cheese naan and off course some mango lassi. Everything was delicious and friendly quick service. My only complaint was as we wer finishing our meal I really started smelling cigarettes coming through the vent which thankfully we were finishing up but the smell was not pleasant at all. My 6 year old devoured the food as well. We'll for sure be back.

My second time here. The first time was during the soft opening when the menu was limited so wanted…read moreto check out additional items before posting. We tried dosa, vada, idli, gutti vankay curry, and andhra goat curry the first time. The second time, we ordered gobi Karampoddi, gongura chicken, Mirchi ka Salan, and Veg Hakka noodles - all Indian extra spicy and an order of idli sambhar - mild spicy. The service was good and we got the food pretty quickly with the appetizers coming out first, as requested. The portion size was also pretty decent for the price- enough for 2-3 adults if you're sharing entrees. However, the spice level was a little off. The Mirchi ka Salan could've used some more Thai chillies instead of the large jalapenos that tasted like bell peppers. The gongura chicken and veg Hakka noodles were almost spot on at least after adding the chilli sauce that comes with the noodles. The sambhar was ordered mild for a teenager but it turned out to have a little too much heat for them. It was spot on for an adult with a developed palette but maybe not so much for a weaker one. Desserts were also on the okay side. They put rooh-afsa (pinkish rose syrup) in their rabri which makes it a little different. The rasmalai was pretty watered down with no malai (cream) but was flavorful. I don't think the desserts provide any value for money so I would skip them. We had a bunch of leftovers (Mirchi ka Salan and Hakka noodles) that tasted really good when reheated. So maybe the spices just needed some time to really bond with the food overnight. I would definitely recommend this place if you're near Columbia

I recently ordered takeout from Hyderabad House and was pleased with the experience…read more What I ordered: I got their gobi manchurian to start things off. It came is spice levels: baby mild, mild, medium, spicy, very spicy. I got the mild because I do like my gobi manchurian to have some spice. That said, their mild is more like a heavily medium from what I'm accustomed to. I enjoyed it but just a note--if you like things to have only a slight kick, I'd go for the baby mild. For my main, I got their malai kofta. It closer to a light medium when ordering it mild but again, no problem with that. For the dish itself I found dumplings to be a bit too mushy and the overall flavor was a bit lacking for me. For my bread, I got the garlic naan. It was excellent! Covered in chopped garlic and glistening with butter--it was indulgent and delicious. Everything was perfectly packaged (no leaking!) and came piping hot! And, the servings were robust so I have fully half leftover for another dinner. Get to it!

We ordered samosas, vindaloo, garlic naan, butter masala, and tikka masala -- each dish beautifully prepared and layered with flavor.

It's genuinely refreshing to have Indian cuisine of this quality in Lexington. For anyone craving something truly flavorful and comforting, this spot is well worth a visit.

Just a heads up--don't go if you're in a rush. Service was a bit on the slower side. It took a while to get seated, and my to-go order (just one entrée and an appetizer) took over 40 minutes. That said...the food made it worth the wait I ordered the Butter Panang and Onion Pakodas, and both were absolutely delicious. The sauce had the perfect kick at medium spice, and the garlic naan was the ideal way to soak up every last bite. The tamarind sauce was a little thinner than I prefer for dipping, but still packed with great flavor. Overall, even with the slower service, the quality of the food really stood out. I'll definitely be back--next time to dine in and explore more of the menu!

The menu has been streamlined, parking is plentiful, and the exterior has been freshly painted white, giving the place a clean, updated look before you even walk in. Inside, the space has been beautifully remodeled. It's bright, white, modern, and spotless, with tasteful accents that make it feel welcoming without being overdone. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout the visit. I missed their weekend buffet (which I'd love to try next time), but ordered the tandoori chicken with a side of garlic naan. The tandoori chicken was outstanding--deep, authentic flavor with just the right amount of spice. Enough heat to lightly tingle your lips, but not overpowering or lingering. Easily one of the most flavorful tandoori chickens I've ever had. The garlic naan was absolute perfection. If I lived closer, this would be a regular stop, especially to catch the buffet on a weekend. Highly recommended--definitely worth checking out.
