Ordered the following dishes: chicken 65, butter naan, dum ka murg, chicken dum biryani.
Portions are on the smaller side but fair for the price. Chicken 65 was extremely well made and delicious. The naan was super soft and obviously fresh out of the oven. The dum ka murg was good but nothing special. The biggest letdown was the biryani. I’ve lived in Hyderabad and I know what real Hyderabadi biryani is, but this isn’t even close. It was honestly like I was just eating rice that wasn’t spiced – it tasted pretty bland.
The service was fine. The seating arrangements were absolutely terrible. There’s barely any room to sit down in the place. It’s not a very welcoming atmosphere. And the kicker is that there’s no bathroom or even anywhere to wash your hands.
Overall, the food was fine and definitely on par for the prices they are charging. However I don’t think it’s worth it to return.

We stopped by this place for dinner. I came with a date who recommended this neighborhood spot where he sometimes orders takeout. It’s a Southern—specifically Hyderabadi—style Indian restaurant, though many of the dishes seem toned down, likely because the place caters mostly to non-Indian customers. It’s a very small restaurant with limited seating, but since it was a Sunday evening, we were lucky — even though it was crowded and full, we got a table right away.
We started with Papri chaat, a tangy, spicy, sweet street-style snack. They actually did a good job with it — a nice flavor explosion, though slightly on the sweeter side for my taste. I would’ve preferred a bit more tamarind to balance the sweetness, but overall it was enjoyable.
Next, we ordered Dal Makhani. Even though it’s a classic North Indian dish rather than a Southern one, it seems to be popular here. And surprisingly, it was quite good — rich, creamy, and true to the North Indian style. We paired it with tandoori roti, which was fresh and nicely cooked.
For our main dish, we ended with Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. This was the most underwhelming part of the meal. Having eaten Hyderabadi biryani at many authentic places, I can say this version didn’t come close. It wasn’t bad — everything tasted fresh and the chicken pieces were flavorful — but the biryani itself felt mild, with mint and curry-leaf notes that made it feel toned down and not true to the usual Hyderabadi punch.
Overall, it’s not a bad restaurant at all, but it’s not the best choice if you’re specifically craving authentic Hyderabadi cuisine. The flavors are clearly adapted for a more Western palate. Fresh ingredients, friendly service, but not the place for truly traditional Hyderabadi dishes.

The food was definitely authentic and the sauces were rich and flavorful. It was a very small place though that can sit a max of 15 people I think. They were very busy though not just with the dine in orders but also with online ones. Would definitely go back if they have the seats.

The Chilli baby corn that we ordered as appetizer was quite good. We ordered 2 biryanis of which the Mahi fry biryani was excellent, but were disappointed with the Hyderabadi gongura dum biryani. Another dish that was a disappointment was the Chettinad fish curry which was not only not spicy, but was almost sweet. Also, since the menu does not include South Indian parothas to go with South Indian curries and we did not want to have rice, we decided to order naan. To say that the combination did not work would be an understatement. The fish curry was served with plain rice.

Overall pretty solid, and the dishes are such great value (sub $20 each)! Would come again to try other dishes
– Chicken 65 biryani: 10/10, fire!! Fav dish out of all of the ones we got. Chicken was so tender and flavorful. Not dry at all. White sauce it came w was yummy
– Lamb fry biryani: 8/10, pretty good, but get chicken 65 one instead
– Bhagara baigaan: 7/10, like an eggplant curry dish. Pretty good but not sure if I would get again
– Samosa chaat: 9/10, yummy!! A little sweet, which I didn’t expect. Would get again
– Thin bread (forgot what it’s called): Paired well with the bhagara baigaan
*Note: Wanna try their mango lassi and other dishes

Service was efficient and the Mutton Fry Biriyani was decent. The Biriyani would have benefited being served with a boiled egg, fresh cilantro and raw onions to enhance the texture and flavour. Portion sizes were large – can easily share one biriyani between two. Apple and Google Pay was not accepted which is disappointing. Prices are reasonable considering portion sizes.

Authentic hyderabadi biryani and taste but they use too much fat in their goat biryani.
Limited seating, service is a nightmare but overall food is ok in taste.
Total spent 20 dollars.

The biryani was delicious! I ordered the dum biryani, and the portion was perfect for one person. The place is quite small and a bit cramped, and there’s no wash basin available, so you’ll need to use wet wipes. Despite that, the food and service were really good overall.

One of the best Indian/Hyderabadi food I’ve had in New York!
The flavors were authentic and rich — we tried the Gobi Vepudu, Nizami Paneer and Gongura Biryani, and it was absolutely amazing, full of flavor with the perfect medium spice level. A true taste of Hyderabad right here in NYC!

Wow what a fantastic place. We are from a small town in Texas there is nothing like this for miles around. Service was great but the food was even better. If we lived here we would be here every week. We had the Samosas, Chicken and Vegetable Biryani.
