Ordered Andhra chicken 65 . It was the worst chicken appetizer I had . Please stay away from it . Very bland , no salt . Just added some chilly sauce on top of chicken pieces, added raw capsicum and onions , not sautéed as well.I would give 0 star if possible.
The biryani was really x really l bad - used dehydrated frozen vegetables (carrots, peas and cauliflower mix) too. Pakora was poor too.

Came here for their lunch buffet and tried all the vegetarian options. The vibe is casual and cafeteria like, and the staff were friendly and attentive. They came around offering naan and dosas frequently.
For the food, the South Indian dishes were very good. I loved the mysore bonda, daal, and curries. The North Indian dishes were just average at best. The paneer butter masala was on the sweet side and the naan was average. Veg biryani had way too much potato. The chana masala was flavorful with a strong cardamom flavor.
Desserts here were amazing. First time having gulab jamun warm and it was very tasty that way. The carrot halwa was also fantastic. The chikoo shake was refreshing. The chai was way too bitter.
A bit pricey for a buffet, especially for vegetarians, but I’d come back. Probably more worth it if you eat meat since the non-veg options looked bigger. Parking was free but it’s very difficult to find in this plaza.

Subhani Chicken fry piece pulav and Goat roast pulav are delicious. The meat is cooked very well in spices and the rice is very flavorful too.
Bread halwa had a burnt flavor though, might be a one off mistake.

Too good to be true. Great food, service and staff. Ordered Paneer chili, mirchi bhaji, bhindi masala, butter roti, buttermilk, andhra karam masala dosa, chicken ghee roast and chicken jalfrezi. Everything was tasty. Generous portions and price. Highly recommended.

Delicious food at a very reasonable price. The butter chicken is pretty large, definitely shareable for two people. Food came out fast and service was friendly

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. We were here based on a recommendation from a friend, but was disappointed. We were a group of 7 and I guess they lost all of us with this experience. We ordered chicken majestic and it was just filled with oil and some random old chicken. And chicken lollipop was just some fried skin and the meat was not even cooked properly inside. Coming to veg noodles, it was just some noodles and cabbage and green chillies. We request them for some veggies while ordering but they didn't even deliver it. Coming to biryani it is not biryani it is some old morning rice and meat with kajus for decoration. The chicken fried rice and noodles were good. But on the whole it was a big DISAPPOINTMENT. we told the management about our experience and they did refunded us. But overall I wouldn't recommend the place. The staff were not friendly and attentive. They were just busy in their world. I hope they take is as a positive feedback and get better. I donot have photos to post. Else would post them all.
We ordered a pakora starter, Manchurian, u-biryani, a side dish, and a mango lassi. We specifically requested the starter and lassi to be served first, followed by the biryani and Manchurian as the main course.
The pakora was flavorful but was served without the mint chutney. After asking for the chutney, we were told it was on its way. We also requested ketchup, which arrived quickly in the form of a few packets. However, the chutney took far too long — after three reminders and a lengthy wait, it finally arrived when we were already halfway through the pakora. This was frustrating, as the starter was getting cold, and the delay diminished the overall experience. Why not just serve the chutney with the pakora in the first place?
Next, the Manchurian arrived despite our clear request to serve it alongside the biryani. When we reminded the staff, they took the Manchurian away and brought both dishes together after another wait. The taste was acceptable, but the biryani was inconsistent - dry and under-seasoned on top, yet overly soggy at the bottom with a watered-down masala. Also, the biryani was completely devoid of any vegetables, and the paneer was tough which was unexpected in a bad way.
And the lassi? We had to remind them to bring it, and even then, it was completely forgotten with no acknowledgment or apology.
Would I go back? The food was okay, but the service was lackadaisical, and the ambiance didn’t make up for it. If I do return, I will be as explicit as possible about how I want my food served — down to requesting that each dish comes with its accompaniments at the same time and essentially supervising my own service. Or it might just be easier to order takeout.
On a positive note, portion sizes were generous, and we did receive complimentary chai and sliced cucumbers/carrots. The host managed a smile, though it seemed like an effort.
Food and service are great. The chef (Tirumala Rao) is friendly and kind to check on guests and makes sure everybody is having a good time.
Great place for buffet with lots of options for Veg and non veg.
Both biriyanis we tried- chicken dum biriyani and goat ghee roasted biriyani were excellent. The tilapia fry starters were super tasty. All reasonably priced.
