Reviews of Hyderabad House Calgary NW
from GoogleAfter reading the reviews and seeing the photos online, we decided to visit this place with high expectations, hoping to enjoy authentic biryani and mandi. Unfortunately, our experience was quite disappointing. From the pictures, the restaurant appeared to be a proper dine-in establishment, but in reality, it felt more like a takeout joint with a very basic seating arrangement. The wait for the food was much longer than expected, which was not a great start. The kebabs were the biggest disappointment—extremely dry, overcooked, and lacking flavor. The biryani was average at best and did not stand out in any way. There are many other places that serve far better biryani with richer flavor and authenticity. The chicken mandi was presented beautifully, but unfortunately, the taste did not match the presentation and was below average. What surprised us the most was the name. With a name that highlights Hyderabadi biryani, we expected a memorable and authentic dining experience, but the food simply did not justify the reputation or expectations associated with it. Another disappointing detail was being served drinking water in plastic cups, which further took away from the overall dining experience. We visited with great anticipation, but left feeling disappointed. Sadly, this is not a place we would return to, nor would it be our first choice for biryani or mandi in the future.
Simple Indian restaurant with a wide selection on the menu. Service was a bit slow—no sense of rush—but the food made up for it. Everything was tasty, on the spicier side, and very reasonably priced. The paan was a great finish too!
I went for dinner for the first time here, ordered Biryani and Goat Mandi. Portions were huge, but the goat mandi meat was not properly cooked. I have added a video about how much strength you need to break the piece of meat. Plus, it's not traditional mandi. Goat meat was full of Indian spices while traditional mandi has no spices and is tender. I highly recommend biryani but not goat mandi from here. I will definitely go there to try Chicken Mandi and Karahi and Karahi too then I will update my review.
Ishika was great and the garlic naan which was her favourite was really really good. Must try with the Karahi chicken and goat karahi. Best combo !!
This location is a gem 💎 I've been coming since last year when I came here for the first time during Ramadan. Today i brought my family and they absolutely enjoyed the food! The staff is very friendly and they are really accommodating to taste buds to match your spice level.. this place is great and I will 100% always recommend
About Hyderabad House Calgary NW
Biryani and mandi are the draw at this Hyderabadi restaurant on Royal Vista Way NW in the northwest, which is halal throughout. The menu is wide and the food is on the spicy side, but staff are happy to adjust the spice level to suit you.
What to order
Eat the biryani as it arrives, without stirring, so the rice and meat layers stay separate; staff will show you if you ask. Garlic naan and the chicken karahi go well alongside. The goat karahi is a good partner for the biryani, and diners say the staff are friendly and the food tasty.
Good to know
The room is casual and relaxed, so it is easy to settle in. Service is relaxed, so allow time to settle in, especially at busy hours. It suits a family dinner or a group, and the paan makes a good finish to the meal. Diners find the portions generous and the prices reasonable.
