I found a hair in their biryani during the week as I was there for lunch. They thankfully replaced it but were unapologetic and I felt they are getting too arrogant. Not a good experience at all.

Charminar India — Authentic Hyderabad Flavors That Hit Home

Took the family to Charminar India and honestly, every dish we tried was on point for taste.

What we loved:
- Chicken 65: This was legit Hyderabad-style — perfect spice, tender, that signature kick. If I’m nitpicking, they could go a shade lighter on the color, but the flavor? Spot on.
- Veg Manchurian & Lasuni Soya Chaap : Both were solid picks. The Manchurian had great texture and sauce balance, and the lasuni soya chaap packed serious garlic punch without being greasy.
- Biryani: The highlight, hands down. One of the best in town, no question. Fragrant, perfectly cooked rice, tender meat, and not drowning in oil. The mirchi ka salan that came with it deserves its own shoutout — tangy, nutty, exactly how it should be.

Only miss for us : The Shahi Tukda wasn’t my favorite. They went with a non-traditional take, and I was craving the classic Hyderabad version. Not bad, just not what I expected.

Vibe & Service : Warm staff, quick service, and the place smells like you walked into a kitchen in Hyderabad.

If you want real-deal South Indian/Hyderabadi food where the biryani actually lives up to the hype, Charminar India is it. We’re already planning our next visit for the biryani + mirchi ka salan combo alone.

Highly recommend — just maybe skip the shahi tukda if you’re a traditionalist like me.

Good place for Indian food. Very tasty and excellent service.

We tried the staff-recommended mutton dum biryani and angara chicken with butter naan. Although the mutton pieces were a little overcooked, I still loved it, and the chicken angara was a tasty blast on the tongue with soft butter aroma naan. I was not at all disappointed. We also had the tandoori fish, which was super tender and had the right amount of spices. Really enjoyed the food and service. Will come back again.

Very disappointing experience. We ordered multiple dishes expecting good Hyderabadi food, but most of it was not enjoyable and nearly half the food was left untouched.

The taste was below average, the flavors felt off, and the food did not seem worth the price. We came with high expectations based on the restaurant’s reputation, but the overall quality was disappointing.

I hope the team improves consistency, freshness, and taste because the location and concept have potential, but this visit was not worth repeating.

Ate there a few weeks ago and it was super. Anvi was very good with a great sense of humor - which made the experience nice. Food was very good - I am a foodie and a critic as most Indian spots in A are choppy. Fish was very good and presented well. The garlic nan was fresh. The Sufi chicken was excellent. I do wish they served beer or drinks but not a total deal breaker - I just have to order take out more and dine in less as enjoy a few drinks when out with family or friends. I'd recommend regardless.

Please trust me and stay away from this restaurant. After a long day at work, I ordered a biryani for pickup, hoping for a good meal, but it was stale and completely disappointing. The quality was unacceptable, and it ruined the experience. I won't be ordering from here again.

Pickup 2 chicken Biriyani and kushka today, not good at all. The worst part is one pack of briyani is definitely yesterday’s stock, smells bad.. not freshly and got cheated.

Shrimp pulav and mutton kheema is best items to try.. also don't forget to try out the Shahi Sitaphal Malai

Amazing food! Must try

This is my first time visiting to Charminar, specially to eat Malai Chap and ordered other items. Food is delicious and customer service is good. I would recommend others to try this out once and you won't regret.
