    Boneless Chicken Curry
    Benjamin B.

    This was about my third time eating the food from here, and my first review. The reason why I stop by here every twelve months or so, is out of sheer convenience. When the server brought my curry chicken and basmati rice ($16.99) to my table, I couldn't help but notice how filthy the carrying tray was. Fortunately, the food itself was hot, and the spice level was low, as I had requested. My appetizer arrived about five minutes later. The spinach pakora ($6.99) was somewhat spicy, and probably an acquired taste. I might order it again, though. At least the quantity was massive. Although the portion sizes are plentiful, the prices lately are spendy. I ended up bringing half of my appetizer and entree home with me. BEWARE: their mildest default settings for food spiciness is a 3 out of 5. You have to make a very special, pleading, request to get spiciness any lower. The service is so-so. You can never be quite sure if they understand what you've requested, because they are so poor at acknowledging you after you've spoken. The ambiance is pretty close to zero. The reason why I ate inside is that I was driving by the restaurant, on my way home. Also, mobile orders can be problematic at this business. I asked, and they did tell me that there was no longer any lunch buffet offered there.

    Lemon rice, Gobi Manchurian Dry, Butter Chicken and a couple other items from the buffet but I can't recall their names

    Hyderabad Biryani is without a doubt my favorite Indian restaurant in the Memphis area. The food has always been excellent and the staff is accommodating and friendly. There is now a large buffet seven days a week with several vegetarian options and plenty of spice!!!! Also the restaurant interior boasts a newly remodeled dining area to accompany the banquet hall adding a touch of class to this already wonderful dining experience. Five stars for Hyderabad Biryani!!!!!

    Garlic naan, white rice, palak pener, chicken teke masala and mango lassi

    It was my first time eating here today. It was very tasty and authentic cuisine. I ordered the mango lassi $6, chicken tika masala $16.50, palak pener $15 and garlic naan $4. Rice was included. All very delicious. They have a lot of variety to choose from. I had extra to take home. It is a nice modern restaurant. Service was good. They seem to have more take out orders than dine in but it was lunch time. You also pay at the register. It was a little pricey for lunch $$$$ but worth it for a treat. $50 after tip. Thank you

    This place was really good! The employees were fantastic and took care of us. They were were friendly and made us feel welcome. You can go for a lunch buffet! It was really good and we left full! Be careful with some of the dishes because they can be really spicy! We will definitely come back here!

    The food here is absolutely delicious! Every time my family and I go we try a different dish and to this day we have not had a bad one. My absolute favorite is the chicken Manchurian, the garlic naan and the vijaywada chicken biryani.

    Have only tried the Murg Makhani (butter chicken) and it was very good. Got medium and it was spicier than I expected.

Very relaxed ambiance, would have been nicer with some music, but still very nice! Very pretty inside as well! You do have to flag the waiters down, but very accommodating once you have their attention. Plenty of parking outside as well. I'll be back!

    Swadisht | Delicious!! Best Dosa I've had, chewy and…read morethicker, so flaky and crisp, than ones I've tried previously in Portland that were wafer thin without the body here. Still thinking about the texture and the tangy and quite spicy 3.5/5 thin red curry, the potato curry dips that reigned supreme vs the creamy earthy finger white one. Plain Dosa $10.99 5/5* All 3 curries were yummo and while no lunch menu here, the curries do come with white basmati rice. Oddly the goat in Andhra Curry $19.99 appeared quite white in color and thought it was chicken thigh hmm but hubby loved it. 'Hot' was about as spicy as the red Dosa curry Butter Chicken mild $17.99 was yum, not overly creamy or cloyingly sweet that tends to be a problem I am sure as adjusted for US palates but Social D's was great though less tomato forward, but very worthy. Lamb Saagwala $19.99 medium was actually kinda mild (again that Dosa curry musta got us spice prepped haha) in a green sea of creamy spinach. Garlic butter naan #3.99 was crisp, thin middle, puffy edges with slight doughy chew, very good, and a 2nd order soon followed. Taj Mahal bottled beer $5.99 had a deep golden color, very malty palate mixed with a slight hop for a balanced day lager, an easy lunch sip. My BILaw was against trying Indian food, get this 'second' time claiming it was not for him, turned out loves everything we ordered today and professed to a return in future!! Yee ha! Menu is extensive with Rice Biryanis - unusual to see 4 distinct styles from different regions vs the generic rice biryani with different proteins. And Poori the hollow puffs with veg/curry dips. Again more unusual curry offerings include a couple not familiar with, Kadahi-Chettinaad-Andhra. And an Indo-Chinese menu that I've not come across in any US or UK menu. As out of state visitors I am sure SDIC will get another family billing, with our new fan of both Indian and in particular, Social D's Indian cuisine ;)

There is a variety of sauces and chutneys, and the biryani is just yum! The ice cream is made in the kitchen, and during the buffet, a cook makes dosas in the dining room. The service is amazing and very helpful. There is a very happy, festive, and inviting atmosphere. My favorite Indian restaurant in town.

    | A Flavor Explosion in Memphis! If you're looking for…read moreauthentic South Indian cuisine that doesn't cut corners, Cafe India is easily one of the best spots in Memphis. Even before you walk in, the aroma lets you know you're in for a treat. Why It's a Must-Visit: * The Food: The balance of spices is incredible. Whether you're a fan of the creamy Chicken Tikka Masala, Kadhai Paneer, Malai Kofta or looking for something with a kick like their Lamb Vindaloo, every dish feels fresh. * The Naans: You can't come here and not get the garlic naan. It's perfectly pillowy with just the right amount of char. * The Service: The staff is consistently warm and attentive. They're great at helping you navigate the menu if you aren't sure about spice levels. * Vibe: It has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that works just as well for a casual weeknight dinner. Pro Tip: Don't skip the Mango Lassi--it's the perfect way to cool down your palate if you go bold on the spice levels! *The Dosa Spotlight* The real star of the show for me is the Dosa selection. It's hard to find South Indian staples done this well in the city. * The Variety: They offer an impressive range, from the classic Masala Dosa or Mysore Dosa to the more adventurous Guntur Podi and Cheese and Ghee Dosa varieties (my kid loves them). * The Texture: They nailed the "golden ratio"--the crepes are incredibly thin and shatteringly crisp on the outside, yet soft and slightly tangy on the inside. * The Pairings: Each dosa comes with fresh coconut chutney and a sambar that actually has depth and a nice tamarind tang. The potato masala filling was seasoned perfectly--not too mushy, just pure comfort. They also have a Bot that delivers food table side which is a BIG attraction for my son. Memphis has a lot of great food, but Cafe India holds its own as a top-tier destination for anyone craving real-deal flavors. I'll definitely be back.
