Nawabi Hyderabad House

Ordered Goat Dum Biryani and Haleem at this place.It was very tasty with right flavour and spice. Would love to visit this place again.

Best Indian food I had in USA. I like spicy food and the the chicken and mutton dishes are out of this world. Service is great and place is clean. Love to visit again! Highly recommended!!

As someone who grew up eating Hyderabadi food, I’m always skeptical when restaurants claim to serve “authentic” biryani—but Nawabi Hyderabad House honestly blew me away. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was quick even though the place was busy. You can tell this place has a loyal crowd—and now I’m part of it.

I had an amazing experiece at Nawabis. There food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic Indian flavors. The potlam chicken biryani was so aromatic & flavorful. We have also tried their mutton shorbha, street style chicken noodles, every single dish we ordered tasted delicious, perfectly spiced with generous portions. I also loved the desserts, which were the peferct sweet ending. Nawabis has instantly become my favorite Indian spot in Tampa, Florida.

Had a wonderful dining experience with my family. The food was amazing, especially the Mandi for 8 people — excellent quality and generous quantity. Chicken biryani and ghee roast mutton biryani were delicious (my favorite!). Desserts were very nice, and the Irani tea after the meal was perfect. 5/5 highly recommended!

Best Hyderabadi Food in Tampa – We Came Back-to-Back Two Days in the Same Week! 🔥🇮🇳 We went to Nawabi Hyderabad House while on vacation in Tampa and ended up eating here two days in the same week because everything was that good! The Potlam Biryani is straight-up magical ✨.The second they opened that amlette-sealed pot at the table, the whole place smelled incredible, and the rice and chicken were perfectly spiced and so tender. Mutton shorba was very tasty, shrimp vepudu and karampodi chicken was spicy and flavorful 🌶️🔥, and that veg chestnut appetizer was something we never tried before. Super tasty! Apricot delight, dry fruit rabadi, and shahi tukda made the meal complete, and Irani chai deserves special evening visits ☕❤️ Portions are huge, flavors are 100% authentic Hyderabadi, staff super friendly, and prices totally fair. Easily the best Indian meal we’ve had in Florida. This is the closest Indian food we have had in the whole USA.

I came to Tampa on vacation with my kids and was searching for an Indian restaurant where I found Nawabi Hyderabad House. From the moment we arrived, the front desk and staff were very friendly and welcoming.They suggested Mandi for 4 people and mutton biryani, and both were very good and flavorful. After the meal, we had dessert, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, I loved the food and the atmosphere. It was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this place.

Pinaz Pirani

We came here for dinner and therebwas buffet so we tried that and we throughly liked it. We had chilly honey chicken, garlic chicken fry, coriander chestnut and Shahi tukda. There were few more things but we were full. We have been here for the first time overall we would like to visit this place again.

Authentic Flavors and Excellent Service! I had an amazing experience at Hyderabadi Nawabi Florida! I tried the Nawabi Chicken Biryani, Green Chilli Chicken, and finished off with Gulab Jamun Rabdi – and each dish was a standout. The Nawabi Chicken Biryani was aromatic and rich, with perfectly cooked rice and tender chicken that had soaked up all the flavorful spices. It had that traditional Hyderabadi touch that’s hard to find outside of Hyderabad! The Green Chilli Chicken packed a spicy punch in the best way possible – bold, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with heat and tanginess. A must-try for spice lovers! To top it all off, the Gulab Jamun Rabdi was the perfect dessert – warm, soft gulab jamuns soaked in thick, creamy rabdi. It was indulgent and satisfying without being overly sweet. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you're craving authentic Hyderabadi flavors in Florida, this place should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more!

Great service by Sai and Babu and the Girl (sorry I missed her name) . Very friendly staff. Went for a late dinner during the week after painting pottery next door. And the food was fresh and delicious. Thanks so much wish I lived nearby.

We had a wonderful experience at this robot restaurant, and I especially want to appreciate Robin and our waitress Ms. Aafreen. Both of them were incredibly honest, kind, and welcoming, which made us feel truly comfortable from the moment we arrived. Ms. Aafreen’s hospitality was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and professional. Robin also made the experience memorable with great service and positive energy. On top of that, the music they played was excellent and really added to the atmosphere. The food was delicious, well-presented, and arrived on time. Overall, it was a great combination of good service, good vibes, and good food. Highly recommended, and special thanks to Robin and Ms. Aafreen for making our visit special!

Excellent Food for a Large Order We ordered food from this restaurant for 100 people for birthday party and the experience was very good. The food was delivered on time, neatly packed, and still hot, which was impressive for such a big order. The Mutton Pepper Roast was the best appetizer. The mutton was soft and well cooked, and the pepper flavor was perfect. It was spicy, tasty and instant crowd favorite. The Mutton Biryani as the main course was excellent. Many people appreciated the taste and quality. For dessert, the Apricot Delight was a perfect ending to the meal. It was creamy, mildly sweet, and very refreshing after the heavy food. Overall, the food quality, taste, and service were very satisfying. Handling a large order for 100 people is not easy, but this restaurant did a great job. I highly recommend them for large parties and family functions. We will definitely order again.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Nawabi Hyderabad cater our housewarming event in Naples, and they exceeded every expectation! With over 250+ guests in attendance, everything was executed flawlessly. Every dish was packed with authentic flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The biryani was a massive hit, the curries were rich and delicious, and the appetizers disappeared quickly! The highlight of the evening was the live chaat station — it was a huge crowd favorite. The freshness, taste, and live preparation added such a vibrant and interactive touch to our celebration. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. The team was professional, punctual, and extremely well organized. Catering for a large crowd like ours is no small task, but they handled it seamlessly and ensured the food was served hot and replenished on time throughout the event. If you’re looking for authentic Hyderabadi cuisine with outstanding service for a large event in Naples, we highly recommend Nawabi Hyderabad. They truly made our housewarming celebration special and memorable!

We had such a great experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, which made it perfect for a first date. The lighting and setup felt comfortable and not too loud, so we could actually talk and enjoy the moment. The food was really good and beautifully presented. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overwhelming, which made us feel relaxed. Overall, it was a wonderful spot for a special evening. I would definitely recommend it for a date night or a quiet dinner with someone important.

Had a great dining experience at Nawabi Hyderabadi House,Tampa. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic flavors, well-spiced, and served fresh. Every dish we tried was impressive and truly reminded us of Hyderabadi cuisine. The service was equally wonderful. A special shoutout to Usha, our waitress, who was very polite, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the meal. Her friendly service really added to the overall experience. Highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service. Will definitely be coming back

Absolutely outstanding food and service from Nawabi! I’ve ordered from them many times both dining in and for small gatherings and they have never disappointed. The consistency in taste and quality is truly impressive and not easy to maintain. Recently, we’ve got a food for a gathering of around 30 people, and every single item was extremely good. We ordered 4 non-veg appetizers, 2 veg appetizers, Vijayawada biryani, veg pulao, and their dry fruit rabdi for dessert and everything was incredibly delicious. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. Nawabi is our go to place for Indian food and catering.

Nawabi has become favorite restaurant for my family in Tampa . We have waited long time for a stable Indian restaurant where taste doesn’t change and taste is similar to what we expect from Indian food. Nawabi delivers that with bang !! We love the various options, especially Veg kheena Biryani, Tikkas, Indian Chinese dishes like Manchurian, noodles and fried rice along with traditional veg curries. My kids love their pastries and weekly selection of shakes. Most importantly, we like the attention to details by owners as we always see them around, coming by to get feedback about food and preferences e.g. my kids spice level are very low and the chefs are happy to customize it. When we go to other places, this is not the case. They also add items to menus as per the festivals to keep it interesting. Their hours are also very accommodating because you can get a tasty Indian food late if you want too. Every time we went, we have enjoyed the entire experience!!

Avinash Reddy

I’m on a vacation to Florida with my family and heard about this restaurant from friends that t hey serve the best Indian food in Tampa and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered Jalapeno Chicken, Goat Biryani, Goat Pulao, and MLA Potlam Chicken Biryani and every single dish was outstanding. each item had its own unique taste, and we loved them all. A special thanks to the staff for making sure we were completely satisfied throughout our visit. Great food and great service made this a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended.

Outstanding food and service by Nawabi Caterers! We had Nawabi handle the food for our two-day wedding, and everything was simply perfect. From start to finish, Vinay Ginjupalli was in constant touch updating us every hour about the delivery and setup, ensuring every meal was served on time and with care. The food was a huge hit - Veg Kheema Biryani/Pulao, Telangana Chicken Curry, Paneer Tikka Masala, and Malai Kofta Pulao were everyone’s favorites. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and truly captured the authentic Indian taste we missed here in the U.S. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious and homely the food felt. What impressed me most was the professionalism - Vinay personally handled last-minute add-ons like Dal Curry without hesitation and made sure every item reached the venue hot and fresh. Not a single dish went to waste, and every guest was served perfectly according to the headcount. Vinay’s deep knowledge of food, respectful coordination, and willingness to go the extra mile made a big difference. He didn’t just take an order - he offered tastings, helped us choose the best combinations, and delivered flawlessly. And on top of that, the pricing was very reasonable and perfectly within budget, making the entire experience even more satisfying. A big thank you to Vinay and the Nawabi team for making our wedding meals memorable, stress-free, and absolutely delicious! Highly recommended for anyone who wants authentic taste with genuine care. 🙏🍽️💛

—Fried Bug in the food at Nawabi Hyd house——— I showed the restaurant staff that there’s a bug fried inside the wing the guy who came out of no where and was saying it was basil powder and then I asked him if he cooked it he said he didn’t then I asked how does he know it’s basil powder.then chief came from inside and said it’s fried curry leaf and I asked chief If it’s a fried curry leaf why there’s only 1 curry leaf out of all the wings .There are no similar sightings on the other wings .This restaurant I don’t know what’s wrong with the people working but just got to know about the owner mindset too. You know what’s the meaning for unnecessary is your attitude to defend your restaurants food mistakes and trying to get the fake 5 star reviews right after you get a genuine 1 star review.without knowing the situation you can’t just answer to the comments and reviews with just the knowledge of the situation heard from your work permit less employees of your restaurant.See it from a perspective of customer rather than a restaurant owner like going to a new city and trying to have a good Indian food and you have a problem with your food on the plate spoiling not only your health but also your entire evening time.I take your words very seriously so mind them when giving reply.I should have sued you in the first place and then we would know how a fried bug or curry leaf would look like.Unnecessary scene? I asked them politely and left very politely paying my bill see your cameras you will know how polite I was.I have no intent to harm your establishment your attitude will do it don’t worry though. My intention is to just make you understand to give replies to comments by knowing the situation properly and directly.I have no gain in harming your reputation of your bad hospitality environment.

I know they use mint leaves in biriyani, but what are these? Stems? As much as I love biriyani I can't believe the strong discomfort and uneasiness I left when eating biriyani. The amount of stems in picture are too less than what we had in biriyani. I strongly suggest you could use leaves instead of stems in process of making biriyani.

AVOID AT ALL COST !!! I ordered a half tray chicken dum biryani on 31st. The chicken in the biryani was RAW, and the biryani wasn't cooked, you could smell the yogurt from the marinate.
