Nawabi Hyderabad House Cincinnati

Very good and authentic recipes with complex flavors. You should probably read up on some of the dish names. They all represent different geographic Indian cuisine regions, and different spice combination, complexities, and sauce types. Even with some study I was still confused =^). Also ask whether some of the meat items are boneless vs bone-in. Many are bone-in, and not specified, but they can make it boneless! All that said, the food was super yummy, and truly
unique. Not your typical Americanized Indian. We had 12 people there and ALL the different dishes were super good, complex flavors, all super unique. To a certain extent, all 12 of us kind of guessed what we wanted when we ordered. All 12 of us were very happy with the orders. You almost cant go wrong. Biryani also more unique than the
Americanized versions, and big portions. Such an authentic pleasant change. They kind of spoiled me to the typical Indian food we usually get. Super wonderful and patient waitress who had to deal with all our lame American questions as best she could. Also note, there is something unique about this franchise on tipping. Tips on credit cards go to franchise and don’t make it back to the hard working wait staff! Its preferred if you tip in cash so it goes direct to the wait staff (who did a great job and were super attentive). We will definitely be going back. I want to try everything. Reminder - Its BYOB for alcohol.

Food was pretty good but not amazing. And vegetables biryani and chicken biryani tasted almost exactly same. But they literally had one waiter in a big restaurant. And the music was so loud.

I recently had the Chicken Biryani and it was absolutely delicious fragrant, well-spiced, and cooked to perfection.

New to Cincinnati and trying Nawabi for the first time and we ordered a chicken dum biryani for to go. The food is good.

Wait time is very long. Rice of biriyani has a distinct smell which you may not like. The amount of biriyani is just ok, not sufficient considering the price. The spice and chicken in biriyani were good.

Review:

I had a great dining experience here with a variety of flavorful dishes. The sweet corn and manchow soups were delicious and perfectly seasoned. The chilli shrimp was a bit too spicy for my taste, and the Apollo fish had a bit too much food coloring and was also slightly spicy.

On the other hand, the poori with curry, paratha, and keema were absolutely delicious — cooked perfectly and full of authentic flavors. I really enjoyed the flavored rice, especially in the biryanis. The Gongura Mutton Biryani and Nawabi Mutton Biryani were my absolute favorites — packed with rich spices and great taste.

I’m now addicted to their custard apple shake — it’s a must-try! The portion sizes were huge , and the owner was very attentive and ensured we had a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Exceptional dining experience, excelling in food, service, and ambiance.

Ulavacharu Chicken: A rich, flavorful starter with tender chicken infused with earthy horse gram stew.
Mutton Kheema Pulao: Perfectly spiced, fluffy rice paired with flavorful mutton mince, creating a hearty and satisfying dish.
Avakai Chicken Biryani: A bold, tangy fusion of mango pickle and biryani spices, with succulent chicken and aromatic rice.
The ambiance blends traditional and modern elements, offering a welcoming vibe. Service is top-notch, with attentive and knowledgeable staff enhancing the experience.

I had an appetizer - Mutton Ghee roast
And RG Kodi pulav. Both of them were below average, not worth for my bill of 40ish$. The ghee roast was infact provided as curry, not sure why they still left it in the appetizer section, disappointed with this.
The RG kodi pulav was another let down. The rice felt like it was either from leftovers or might have over cooked as it was sticky. Not worth it for me to travel 1 hour to eat this.

Ordered Nawabi Paneer Masala with special instruction of No capsicum.

What they deliver is to-go is Nawabi Capsicum curry with some paneer in it. 😂😂😂

Called the restaurant and they asked all the way to get the new one. When told it is 30 min drive then the reception person handover the phone to someone and he was requesting to share address to deliver new. Excuse was given that miscommunication happened in kitchen😂😂😂😂

Vegetarian options: Hope they improve the service for others.

Been to many places but this is seriously the worst I have been to. Have not rated the food as to our shocker we were not served the food even after 1.2 hrs of waiting. Totally clueless staff with no concern for the guests/ child with them. Just involved in taking orders blindly with no execution whatsoever. Recommend not to visit.

Very tasty Indian food with a large variety on the menu. You can choose vegetarian or meat/fish dishes. The food is overall spiced well. We enjoyed the Karampodi Gobi as an appetizer - it was delicious, crunchy and spicy. Don’t miss the drinks either! The Chikoo shake is delicious! The parathas are flaky and fresh. Highly recommended. They also have a bakery and sweets selection but we didn’t get to try any this time. On the weekends they tend to be busier so the service may be a bit slower.

I visited Hyderabad house Cincinnati today and ordered the mutton biryani. Unfortunately, the mutton was not fully cooked and was hard to eat. It was disappointing as I expected a tender and flavorful dish. The rice was decent, but the quality of the mutton really affected the overall experience. I hope the restaurant improves the cooking quality in the future.

Best Indian food I’ve had in a while! chicken 65 was incredible- I’ve never had anything like it! Definitely will be getting that every time! The restaurant was beautiful as well! My husband got birrami with the goat- he loved it. Panir masala was good as well. Generous portions! Highly recommend!!!
