The food here is really something to rave about. I first came here years ago when it opened and remember how quickly the word had caught on. This was the brunch spot. Five years later, I would say it still is. The lamb and chicken are very well cooked and spices are just right. They also have some wonderful vegetarian options such as wadas, gobi manchurian, chao menu noodles. This restaurant is a thali style place. You all get seated and servers come to you with various foods which you can get unlimited amounts of... so come with an empty stomach! One thing that would certainly help the servers is if they had a bit more room to get to the customers plate. It can get a bit tricky otherwise serving large tables as servers would have to walk around the restaurant to get to the other side of the table. Other than that, get food and would recommend coming in just before rush hour to snag a spot

Exquisite Hyderabadi CuisineWe recently dined at Pista House and were delighted by the authentic Hyderabadi flavors. Both the non-veg and veg dishes were delicious, showcasing true Hyderabadi cuisine.The desserts, especially the qubani ka meeth, stood out for their great taste without added food coloring.Service was impeccable, with staff displaying patience and efficiency, particularly Sohail.We appreciated the minimal wastage of food, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to sustainability.Overall, our dining experience was exceptional.Highly recommended!

It had been while since we went to Pista House after a series of bad food experiences there. We couraged up and went back today and to our pleasant surprise the food was delighful, every thing served at the table was very delicious. The biryani, both chicken and mutton brought back memories of india, the tandoori chicken was juicy and succulent and the double ka meeta was a high point to end with. To top it all off we had a very professional young gentleman, Faisal who took such good care of us and made sure we were fed to hearts content. Thank you Faisal and keep up your cheerful service. We hope to go back soon and hoping the new management keep up the good food!!!

Very disappointed! Travelled all the way from maryland to have half cooked mutton and tasteless food .

Worst Haleem on this planet. It was completely swamped with oil that I had to start draining the same. However the oil draining process went on forever with the oozed out oil eventually oxidizing into an yellowish thick mass (pics att.) that I had to give up finally and eventually trash the food. If someone is looking forward to spend $17 for experiencing a heart attack, their haleem is highly recommended!!

The Biryani does not taste anything close to what a Biryani should taste.

Went with my family on Friday afternoon for the weekend lunch buffet. The food was served cold, the service was v poor. They didn't serve us most of the items unless we asked for it and they kept repeatedly forgetting to bring them even after we asked. Will not return

Pista House is a wonderful restaurant that we have been frequenting for over 5 years now. We typically order chicken shahi jaffrani, garlic naan, and mango lassi. It comes with fluffy rice as well. ALWAYS delicious and highly recommend this type of chicken! Last night there was a special on grilled fish (tilapia) and I tried that - it was a Valentine's Day special. DELICIOUS! Well cooked and flavored. They also offered free wine due to Valentine's, which was a nice touch. Also - special call-out to Faisal who is always so friendly, hard-working, and caring to all and always remembers my name!
