The food exceeded our expectations. Portions are big compared to the price. Food tastes very good for a non-Indian like myself. Lots of spicy food on the menu so make sure you ask the staff beforehand. Staffs are very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean and doesn’t stink of bad odor. I can tell the place is very well ventilated. It was a good experience. Would 100% come back and recommended.

The Bhojanam(thali) that they serve on the weekends is excellent. The taste, spice level and quantity, are spot on.It reminds you of that fresh home cooked meal with your mother, on a Sunday afternoon. Its a must try!

I had the pleasure of enjoying their Onam Sadya, and it was truly exceptional! Chef Sumesh deserves special appreciation for preparing such authentic and delicious traditional sadya items—it felt like a perfect festive treat. I’ve visited this restaurant many times and every single dish I’ve tried has been outstanding, from their flavorful Mandi and aromatic biryani to the mutton pepper roast, puri bhaji, masala dosa, plain dosa, and so much more. The consistency in taste and quality is remarkable. The manager Robin makes sure everything is running smooth and are always friendly, attentive, and quick to address any requests or concerns with a smile, which makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. A perfect combination of great food, warm hospitality, and excellent service. Highly recommended!

Ordered the ButterChicken and it phenomenal. Bursting with flavor and garlic naan is a must. They really know how to take care of you here as the service was impeccable. Attention to detail goes a long way Great job team.

I’ve ordered from Hyderabad House several times—mostly to-go—and it’s about time I shared a review. Their Kofta Biryani is a longtime favorite of ours. I’ve even had it at their other locations in Hillsboro, OR and Irving, TX, and the taste and quality have been consistently great. Most recently, I ordered the Vijayawada Special Paneer Biryani (Mini Bucket) for $32 + tax. It followed a homemade pav bhaji dinner, and to be honest—it was easily enough for 6 people, even though it’s labeled for 2–3 (probably assuming it’s the only main dish). Great flavor, generous portion, and excellent value. A unique bonus—this location is BYOB (Bring Your Own Booze), and they have patio seating where you can relax and enjoy your food outdoors. Makes for a really chill dining experience. Also worth noting: Tonight (Thursday), they’re hosting a “3D Night” featuring ‘D’osa, ‘D’onne Biryani, and ‘D’hwani band live performance. Events like this add a fun, community vibe to the place. Definitely recommend Hyderabad House if you’re craving flavorful biryanis—especially the Kofta and Vijayawada Paneer—and want a laid-back, BYOB-friendly spot in North Austin.

If you’re craving bold, authentic Hyderabadi flavors in Austin, Nawabi Hyderabad House delivers in every way. The Dum Biryani is hands-down the best in town — aromatic, perfectly spiced, and generously portioned, with tender, flavorful meat buried under beautifully cooked basmati rice. We also tried their Goat Curry and Paneer Butter Masala, both rich, deeply spiced, and packed with authentic South Indian warmth. Every dish has this unmistakable homemade quality, like a little slice of Hyderabad right here in Texas. The spice levels are legit — not dumbed down — so if you like it hot, you’re in for a treat. Service is fast, friendly, and the place has a lively, no-nonsense vibe that’s all about the food. A go-to spot for anyone serious about real Indian food in Austin.

Service was slow but the food was fresh and flavorful. Therefore it was worth it. Their sauce has peanuts, my nephew had little choice but the biryani was good for him.

I recently ordered catering from Nawabi Hyderabad house Austin for my cocktail party, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and a hit with all my guests. The service was top-notch, everything arrived on time, fresh, and exactly as promised. The team(Sai was very responsible),professional, responsive, and made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for high-quality catering and food. Looking forward to ordering again.

Ordered the Chicken Dum Biryani online. The very first spoon of the rice was flavorful, loved that first impression. The masala was well balanced and proportionate throughout the rice, which made it enjoyable. The chicken was slightly on the drier side, so reducing one star for that. Portion size is generous and definitely worth the price. Overall, a good experience with room for minor improvement.

Delivery for work on lunch drop. On time! Yummy chicken butter masala curry. Lots of white rice that came with it I wish there’s a way to switch it with naan bread otherwise it’s enough for two meals I’m saving for the next day. Yummy and great value for your money!

Natasha Sahu

got the goat dum biryani, it was pretty good but didn’t truly hit the spot. rice to meat ratio was off so i was left with a half box of rice. some of the mutton pieces were amazing (marrow piece included so bonus points for that!) but some were very dry/fibrous. the accompanied raita was great, not as big fan of their salan. the mango lassi was very good. I also ordered a gajar halwa but i guess they ran out (understandable, it’s not carrot season) and they substituted with a double ka meetha, although I wish they just refunded me. it tasted fine, I just would not prefer deep fried bread in extra sweet syrup when i ordered carrots in extra sweet syrup lol

This restaurant has a great vibe than most Indian restaurants. Vast menu. Attentive and courteous staff. Their Rajugaru Mutton pulao is must try. But their milkshakes are overly sweet. Mutton pepper dry wasn’t as fresh. Otherwise nice place.

First time trying Nawabi, with a takeout order of 2 Dosa Specials. The Kheema Stuffed would’ve been amazing if it were not obliterate-your-tastebuds spicy (I lived for almost 20 years in South East Asia and can take hot!). The Chicken Tikka Dosa was very good indeed and right level of spice (a little heavy on the green peppers tho). Sauces were decent. Sambhar was exceptional and one of the best we’ve ever had. We’ll likely be back to sample more of the extensive menu, but based off this one order, it certainly won’t be out go to. Pick up was a breeze and no tip requested on payment. I would say it was still on the pricey side especially for a “special” - all items pictured were almost $40.

The food we ordered are delicious. The spices are blend really well. We like spicy food so the menu in this restaurant is perfect for us. We came on weekend,it was many customers so the service is slow. Just want give suggestion, it will look more presentable if the servers wear uniform. We will come back. Let see if the service will be better.

Takeout - veg Hyderabadi biryani. Good portion, aroma but lacked flavors. Could be better. Wait time for pickup is high during weekends.

Got to try the biryani after few folks recommend this place. TBH chicken biryani was just average.

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at this store. I ordered the #Chicken #Biryani and #Dragon #Chicken, expecting a flavorful and satisfying meal. Unfortunately, the experience was far from acceptable. The food quality did not meet expectations — the biryani lacked authentic flavor and freshness, and the dragon chicken was not prepared properly. What made the situation worse was the complete lack of accountability. Despite raising the concern, the manager never responded or addressed the issue. Customer service is just as important as food quality. Ignoring customer feedback reflects poorly on the establishment and shows a lack of professionalism. I hope the management takes this seriously and improves both their food standards and their responsiveness in the future.

We ordered chicken biryani and paneer biryani worst biryani I ever had. This is my first time ordering here and which made me not to order again. 70% masala and bones in one box. Not ordering again

Dosa Buffet – Hyderabadi House I usually avoid posting negative reviews and even waited a some time to make sure this wasn’t just a momentary frustration. Unfortunately, I still feel compelled to share my experience. I had previously visited this place with friends and enjoyed the biryani, which is why I decided to return with my family and try the Dosa Buffet. The welcome was decent — a simple greeting and being seated, which was perfectly fine. When we ordered, the staff member mentioned that my 10-year-old daughter could eat for free. I chose to pay for her anyway as it didn’t feel right otherwise. We placed our first order of dosas. However, after receiving only part of our first order, we were seemed overlooked. Not only did no one check back for additional orders, but even our initial request was never fully served. I reminded waiters and staff members several times, but there was no improvement. After repeated follow-ups, we received only one of the two pending dosas from the first order. It genuinely felt as if serving us was not a priority. After waiting a long time and deciding to leave, I informed the staff member who had taken our order. His response was: “My job is only to take orders. The kitchen and serving team are responsible. You can write a review if you want.” That response was surprising and disappointing. I had no intention of writing a review until that moment. It suggested either the issue is known but not taken seriously by management, or that customer experience/feedback simply doesn’t matter. I paid at the counter and mentioned the situation. The person there felt sorry and offered to get the dosa then, but by then we had already waited long and decided to leave. I’m not discouraging anyone from visiting, but after this experience I personally wouldn’t return. Mistakes happen, but how situations are handled makes all the difference. Better service or a more graceful response would have gone a long way.

I ordered garlic paneer expecting something rich, flavorful, and aromatic—but this was a complete disappointment. The taste was honestly one of the worst I’ve had. Instead of a balanced garlic flavor, it was either overpowering or strangely bland at the same time. The paneer itself was rubbery and didn’t taste fresh, and the gravy had an odd aftertaste that made it hard to enjoy even a few bites. The dish lacked proper seasoning, and the garlic didn’t feel well-cooked—it tasted harsh rather than fragrant. Overall, it felt poorly prepared and not worth the price at all.

The lamb in the tandoori platter was clearly raw/undercooked, which is a serious food safety issue. Even worse, I found cockroaches on the food, including on grilled items. This points to a major hygiene and sanitation problem in the kitchen. This is not a matter of taste or preference—it’s a basic health and safety failure. I stopped eating immediately. When issues like raw meat and visible pests occur, trust is completely lost. I would strongly caution others before dining here.
