Reviews
We ordered chicken biryani, mutton biryani, chicken 65, haleem and Irani chai
Biryani:
The biryani was decent but needs improvement. The rice lacked aroma and depth, and the overall flavors were mild, missing that authentic Hyderabadi punch. The meat was cooked well, but the masala didn’t fully infuse into the rice.
Chicken 65:
Texture was fine, It tasted more generic than Hyderabadi.
Haleem:
Good consistency, but again, flavor could and spice balance.
Overall:
The food is okay for a first visit, but there’s room to grow. With better spice balance, richer masala, and more authentic flavors, this place has potential. Hoping they refine their recipes as they settle in.
Strictly Hyderabadi Foodie Tone
Hyderabad name petti, expectations full level lo poyayi… flavor lo justice cheyali
Chicken & mutton biryani lo rice ki aroma ledu, masala punch koncham weak. Chicken 65 antey Hyderabadi kick raledu. Haleem texture bagundi but masala richness inka raavali.
Overall okay-okay, kaani flavor lo justice cheyyali. Improve chesthe potential undi.
Here is what I have tried :
Goat Biryani — super rich flavours and amazing taste ! Never tasted anything like it do have it with mirchi ka salan which is just ♥️
Goat Haleem — the best I ever had since I moved to US.
Chicken 65 — loved the bold flavours I am spice lover so I loved it soo much as it was spicy !
Tala wa gosht — amazing bold flavour my husband loved it soo much
Zinger burger — my kid loved it and finished the whole burger and wanted more so it’s definitely kid approved !!
Malai bun — fav of everyone including adults and kids in my family !
Over all the atmosphere is good and food is really flavourful and bold ! Definitely recommend it !
Malai Bun, I ate like 3, it’s gonna be my go to snack for sure with the tea.
Last but not least the Mutton Haleem was out of the world with real Desi Ghee, it reminded me of Hareesa from Lahore but again with all the goodness of Haleem.
This is a new entry and I wish best of luck to them, hoping the standards will be kept the way I tried it first time or get even better.
Packaging is nice specially Haleem and Buns. Vibe is great. Definitely going back more often.
Great thing: All meat is Halal !!!
***USP: very limited menu based on popular dishes from Hyderabad, India. Think onion samosas, chicken 65, biryani etc.
***AMBIANCE: all white Nizam palace style ambiance to go with the name of the restaurant- Mehfil.
***FOOD: my hometown stoked my passion for food and the sole dish responsible for it has been Chicken 65. I relished this dish and had it quite often while growing up. My brother and I used to squabble over who would get a larger share as well.
*Chicken 65: 4/5: first bite and nostalgia hit me hard. As I kept digging in I realized they overdosed on the green chilli. Otherwise, pretty solid and remarkably close to some of the versions we get in Hyderabad. I suggest getting some rumali roti to go with this to help tame it down a bit.
*Onion samosas: 3/5: this was a staple in our school canteen. And I would save up money to buy them as often as possible. The version here came nowhere close to that. Yes, it was served piping hot and was crispy outside. But, they made the filling too spicy using red chilli.
*Chicken shawarma with rumali:3/5: they went overboard with the use of mayo. This dish will benefit tremendously by reducing the mayo quantity and allowing the chicken and roti to shine through instead.
The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered Chi 65, Hyderabadi goat biryani, rumali roti, talawa gosht, goat haleem, malai bun, and chai..and overall, everything was too good. But the real stars of the meal were hands down the haleem, goat biryani , mirchi salan and Chi 65. Super authentic flavors, proper Hyderabad ke valime ka khana.
The biryani had the perfect masala balance and aroma, the haleem was rich and comforting, the Chi 65 was flavorful with perfect spice level , and the mirchi salan was just next level. The talawa gosht was a bit spicy for my liking and I wish the meat was more softer.
Honestly, the taste here beats other Hyderabadi spots like Deccan Morsel, Falaknuma, and Chowrasta. We actually drove all the way from Sacramento just to try this place and it was worth the drive.
We wrapped up the meal with chai and malai bun and that was the perfect ending. The apricot delight was not ready. We will try that next time inshaAllah.
Definitely coming back. Highly recommend if you are craving real Hyderabadi food.
Biryani: 10/10. Real flavor, perfectly cooked. Haleem & Chicken 65: Highly recommend. Both were delicious and authentic. Shawarma: Skip this. It was disappointing and not up to the mark.
Stick to the traditional Hyderabadi items and you’ll have an incredible meal.
They introduced a unique Hyderabadi Valima-Style Red Chicken Curry, and their menu covers everything from Iranian chai, haleem, and biryani to shawarma, wraps, burgers, spring rolls, samosas, and kheer.
It’s a great mix of authentic Hyderabadi flavors and popular comfort foods — something for every craving. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Sunnyvale and love South Asian cuisine.
