Our family ordered the Butter chicken and my boys wiped their plates clean with the galric Naan. The Chicken Biryani 65 was spicy but absolutely delicious! The Goat Biryani was fall off the bone amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection. Home made fresh hot naan *chefs kiss* We will be coming back many more times!

Absolutely loved this place! The biryani was packed with authentic flavors, perfectly cooked, and easily one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. If you’re craving delicious, authentic hyderabadi biryani, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Nice place to have family dinner .. if you like really nice hyderabadi spice level food ,this is the place. They have good options for Veg and non Veg . The spice level is very high so make sure you tell them specifically. It is spicy but very flavor and yummy. The best part was the tandoori tea at outside. Everyone enjoyed the making. Overall, we had good experience with something different, tasty full of flavors food.

We ordered the Dum Ka Chicken and the Chicken Chettinad, with Garlic Naan and Dahi Kebab. The main entrees were excellent, and the curries were sooooo flavorful. We loved everything and will surely come back. The service was also really nice, and the staff was really attentive.
