Brundavan is a restaurant that offers a variety of dishes, particularly known for its Biriyani. The raitha and salan that accompany the Biriyani are highly praised. The Dum Biriyani, Boneless Chicken Biriyani, and Potlam Biriyani are all recommended. The restaurant is especially favored for its weekend food quality and lunch buffet, which features a delicious mix of vegetarian and meat options. The chef prepares fresh chapathi, and the quiet atmosphere during buffet hours enhances the dining experience. The service is generally appreciated, with the owner/manager described as a "super nice guy." Recently, the restaurant gained praise for its Hyderabadi-style Haleem, served from Pista House India, although some customers expressed disappointment, feeling it had become doughy after the chef started making their own.
Many reviews highlight the quality of the food, especially the Hyderabadi Chicken dum biryani, Gongura Chicken Biriyani, Apollo fish, and Hyderabadi Chicken 65. However, some mention issues with goat meat, which they find extremely chewy and dry, and suggest avoiding goat dishes in favor of lamb or other meats. The restaurant also offers dishes like appam and Vada, with fresh naan served at tables.
During a recent buffet visit, the experience was described as one of the best in the Bay Area, with many options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The mutton dum biryani was praised for being spicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and the fresh appam paired well with curries. The staff was friendly, serving hot food and checking in regularly, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, Brundavan is considered one of the best places for Hyderabad spicy flavors, with good service and quality food that keeps many customers coming back.
