Great food and amazing taste! The dishes are very close to authentic Indian flavors. The weekend specials are especially impressive. The place gets quite busy on weekends—which is no surprise since people really enjoy the food. Sometimes the crowd means a bit of a wait for your order, but it’s definitely worth it.

Perhaps my new favorite Indian restaurant in Lake Mary, and that’s with only their Soft Opening menu currently available, place is going to be amazing in 2026 when they have their full menu! The paneer butter masala was among the best I’ve ever had, very thick and creamy with loads of high quality paneer cubes! Rice was also good quality and perfectly cooked! The chicken lollipops were also quite tasty, crispy and flavorful, and perfect with that green chutney for dipping!
Edit: I’ve been back multiple times and it’s been excellent every time!

Indian Nawabi Hyderabadi House – Lake Mary
A must-visit place for authentic Hyderabadi cuisine in Lake Mary! The food is rich in flavor and truly reminds you of traditional Indian Nawabi and Hyderabadi taste. The biryani is perfectly cooked with aromatic spices, generous portions, and excellent quality. Curries, appetizers, and naan were all fresh and delicious.
The staff is friendly and attentive, and service was prompt even during busy hours. The ambiance is simple yet comfortable, making it a great spot for family dining, huge portions . Overall, a wonderful experience for anyone craving genuine Indian food. Highly recommended—will definitely visit again!

Tons of biryanis, It was like reading an encyclopedia of Indian cuisine, let’s get to it
For my daughter, she had the Kids Chicken Pakora, which is like chicken fritters, it just tasted like an eggy chicken, kind of on the bland side but my daughter loved it, and that’s what mattered, some dipping sauce would’ve made it better
Nawabi Goat Masala: it was delicious, the amount of goat that was in there, though was a little scarce so we had to cherish the sauce, could’ve had a little more of a tomato kick, but it was still delicious and the creamy consistency good wasn’t soupy, I enjoyed, pretty spicy!
The Chicken fried rice with Manchurian Wet Chicken was the winner of the night, fried rice was the perfect example of the essence of Indo Chinese flavor, rice had a generous amount of protein/veggies nicely and the chicken was full of spicy savory hearty flavor, perfect combination
Chicken Dum and Goat Fry Biryani: The amount of protein to rice wasn’t much, I do appreciate the fact that I have enough rice to eat at home for the next two days, it was good, but if there was more veggies and crispy onions and herbs, maybe a little more protein that would’ve balanced out than intensity of the flavor more, so I poured some of the sacred sauce of the Nawabi all over it with the yogurt sauce as well and had a good time, even if me and my son look like we were crying because the spices were kicking!
Johnny 5 works here, super impressed that the robot pulled up with the meals looked cool
the experience was pleasant, I’m very curious to try the million of other dishes they have to offer, but if I want to guarantee satisfaction, go with the Chicken Fried Rice with Manchurian Wet Chicken

The overall experience was good with a few areas for improvement. Chicken Manchurian and Madurai Pakoda were tasty starters, and the Lamb Chop was the clear standout of the meal. Tomato soup tasted good but had a tomato-curry-like consistency rather than a proper soup texture, and the butter naan was too crispy for our liking. The Andra chicken curry was flavorful, and the Masakaki Chicken Biryani was better than the Boneless Chicken Biryani, though the chicken pieces in both the appetizers and biryanis were a bit on the harder side. The best item of the visit was the Mango Lassi, which was excellent and perfectly balanced.

We stopped at Nawabi’s Hyderabadi place for lunch on our drive and enjoyed baby corn manchurian, some wada with chicken curry and parotta with goat curry. Biryanis here are exceptional. We stuck to the nawabi paneer biryani which was a treat with all the meat options. Definitely recommend for authentic south indian food.

I went to the restaurant on January 10. I had read good reviews and wanted to check it out. I tried the vegetarian Indo Chinese and it was really good. I had taken a friend who was very skeptical about eating Indian food. Sandhya was outstanding. You cannot get anyone better than her at any restaurant. I mentioned to her that I did not want the Manchurian sweet and I wanted lots of vegetables in the Hakka noodles. She took time to understand very carefully the taste of my friend as well as what I was looking for, and went out of the way to ensure that the dishes were made to perfection. She also explained to my friend, all the various deserts, and finally, my friend had Rasmalai. Bhaskar the manager also came to check. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and I would highly recommend the dishes I tried.

My wife was looking for some good quality Dum biryani and we were happy to find this spot. I got the Parotta with mutton curry and chicken lollipop. The mutton was super tender and fall of the bone. The gravy is also thick and flavorful!! The regular sized biryani can be easily shared between 2 people and we also loved the chicken lollipop. The service was quick and the manager/owner with glasses checked on us asking how the food was and if we had any feedback/recommendation. They also had a lot of seating and to go orders also. I will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. Plus it’s HALAL!!

We’ve been to Nawabi more than 5 times ever since it opened in October. It is hands down our favorite Indian restaurant in town. Food has always been delicious. Interiors & ambiance add to the restaurant’s charm! All of their staff are very friendly. Overall, it is a feel good experience always!

Imagine sitting in cozy couches with calming music and smiling workers to have fun conversations with. Well, that’s exactly how Nawabi is. We had such a great time at this restaurant! The Veg Kheema Biryani was absolutely delicious and the Mirch Bhajji was so crispy and incredibly tasty. This restaurant’s atmosphere felt warm and welcoming like we were sitting in our beds and eating, haha! An enormous shoutout to Sai for taking such great care of us! I can’t wait to come back for more. This restaurant is THE place to be!
