Ordered Mild and came super hot. Has full chili's in it. Wasted my money and threw away. Not to mention took over an hour to deliver. Never ordering from them again
I posted a rave review about a place called Hyderabad House when I was visiting my corporate office in Madison, WI and one of my lovely fellow Yelp Elites (Hi, Mark!) clued me into the fact that it's a chain and that's there one right here in Denver! I've been to a well over a dozen Indian restaurants in Colorado and this is currently my favorite. You'll have to do some googling as none of the menu items have descriptions but it's worth doing. You're not going to encounter overly fast or friendly service but frankly, when the food is this good, that becomes a non-issue for me. The Biryani, which is their specialty, is the best I've had anywhere. I really love the fact that you can get naan instead of rice with their curries at no extra charge.
Absolutely some of the best Indian food I've had anywhere. I've had a lot of subpar Indian food over the years but in the past couple, I've eaten at several above average spots and that's elevated my love for this style of food. This food was fresh with vivid flavors. the presentation was great and so was the overall service. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in town
Food tasted good when it's medium spicy. Ordered veg Manchuria, schezwan friedrice and panner pulav. Manchuria was not as expected. It was soft and the sauce was not great. Schzewan friedrice was average and the pulav was the best. Never order spicy when in hunger. Overall service was great and no long waiting time.
Amazing!! I'm surprised how tasty this place was. I live in Seattle and a lot of my friends are Indian. But we don't have decent Indian food in Seattle according to them. And also thanks to them, I have tried a ton of different Indian food. I can even name some of my favorite cuisines. Definitely north Indian, kabobs, Hyderabad biryani and Goan curries! Even have favorite South Indian dishes. Just don't give me butter chicken!! But this place! Omg mindblowing. I was nearby for an all day meeting and ordered doordash from this place. The delivery had some hiccups, it was supposed to be under 30 minutes but it took 55-65 minutes. I was not happy with that since I had another meeting in different part of town to run to. The food though! it was first of all lunch combo:$20 with delivery. But omg! SO much food. And it came with so many little dishes. Even a dessert: gulab Jam but I'm not big on that. The goat fry biryani: it's my first time having this and the meat was so tender. And so much meat. Chicken curry with curry leaf was super tasty. Even the chicken 65 was good while breaded and I'm not big on breaded. And there was some kind of daal. The biryani was delicious. I'm sad I didn't try this for a whole 2 weeks that I'm there. I tried it a couple of days before my trip ended. I was hoping to try more but love when places surprise you. Such delicious, cheap, tasty, massive portion of a gem. Amazing!!
Well looking upon yelp I pulled up this place. This is my 3rd visit since last 2 weeks. Almost everything what fire here is awesome. Best place to visit if ever trying Indian food in this vicinity. Expecting the same quality and taste further.
If there is one restaurant that I have visited more than 10 times in Denver, it is this South Indian place - Hyderabad house. There are many Indian restaurants in the neighborhood but I want to specify here that A South Indian restaurant is different from a North Indian one. If you are new to South Indian cuisine try to skip butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and naan which will open up endless options. I would suggest the below dishes to try here : 1. Dosa ($9) - ( A South Indian breakfast crepe which is savory with amazing dips. It is a mild dish) 2. Vijayawada chicken biryani ($13) serves 2 - ( it is spiced rice with boneless chicken. It is very commonly eaten in India) 3. Mutton sukka ($14) - very tender goat appetizer with spices and onions. A must try and my most favorite !!! 4. Spicy fish roast ($14) - Yummy fish appetizer with Indian spices. 5. Double ka meeta ($5) - Indian style bread pudding but can be extremely sweet ! They have enough parking space and offer takeout as well as and available with all delivery providers. I became a regular to this place because of their consistency! Their dishes are on point 9 out of 10 times. Their customer service is good but at times it gets really crowded ! When you go for a buffet I would suggest going by 12 pm so that you can have fresh food without much waiting in the line. I wish they take care of their glass roof which allows sun light directly on the table. Kind of a disturbance when I enjoy my food.
This is our third visit to Denver and Hyderabad House is the closet to our hotel,yet the Yelp Reviews always scared us from giving this place a chance. On our first visit, we were at the local Indian grocery store, and asked the shopkeeper for his recommendation, he had recommended Hyderabad House but again, one look at the Yelp reviews and we decided to get takeout from India's Castle instead which was such a disappointing experience. So yesterday, we decided to throw caution to the wind and decided to give Hyderabad House a chance. When we entered the restaurant, there were a few tables occupied and all the diners were of Indian origin. The takeout area was busy again with Indian patrons waiting to pick up their order. We were promptly seated and placed our order within a few minutes. We chose to order the tandoori platter, goat dum biryani, tandoori roti and tandoori naan. Our tandoori platter arrived sizzling to the table and with such delightful aroma. It tasted absolutely moist and delicious. We were served the tandoori platter as an appetizer but we prefer to eat it with roti and naan so we flagged down our server to bring our breads to the table which he promptly did. Next came the goat dum biryani. It came piled high in a bowl with generous serving of goat meat. The meat was tender and tasty and the biryani tasted authentically delicious. I only wish they were a little more generous with the raita and gravy for the size of biryani we received. We chose to get some chicken curry puffs as well as Black Forest cake and Chocolate Truffle cake with us to go. I am docking one star for the service or lack thereof as no one once came to our table to check on us after we received our food. We needed refills on water and after waiting a while, my husband went to the empty table and grabbed a bottle. We had to flag someone down to get our check as well as ask for to go containers. Overall we both really enjoyed our dining experience at Hyderabad House and wish we had given it a chance earlier. We will definitely be back.
Hyderabad House makes a big splash in the DTC- even in a highly-saturated, super-tasty Indian environment. Just when I thought I couldn't handle another biryani spot, Hyderabad House makes a lasting impressing. Let's start with appetizers. They carry a chole batura- essentially chickpeas served with fry bread. I had a coworker gloat about the amazingness of this dish when her family would make it, and I was not disappointed when I finally tried it in person. It's listed as a breakfast (because that's the traditional way it's eaten), but it's savory and filling enough for any time. Okay, the biryani was bomb! We got the boneless chicken as well as the fried chicken. Both tasty in their own ways. I usually order mild, which means it's a medium-high hot. Very good- and it's served with two sauces. Finally, on our most recent visit, we tried the lunch combo. WOWSERS! Thanks Yelpers who photographed this dish. It did not disappoint! You get a choice of a biryani, and then a bit of everything- a chicken tikka masala, a curry, sauces, and dessert. SO good! I'll need to come back and try their pastries. Hooray Hyderabad House!
I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. The quality and flavor of the food is quite awesome and delicious. They have an extensive menu, and they also offer a Thali option for those who can't decide and would like an unending variety sample instead. This is a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, so its great for anyone who likes either of these choices. They also have vegan and gluten free options for those who are extra sensitive. This restaurant has a wide range of desserts not commonly found too, and also some extremely delicious "puffs" which are similar in filling to a samosa kind of mix but in a delicious and delicate puff pastry. SUPER tasty. Both times I went, I chose the Thali option. The flavor and the portions are fabulous, just really authentically spiced food. My worst experiences in Indian cuisine has always been overly spiced perfume aisle food that is just ruined with the way its flavored - and not in any of the food did I experience this here. They really have a wonderful back of the house staff who knows how to cook. The only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars, is the service. Though extremely kind and definitely present in the same area, the food takes longer than I prefer, and you really are waiting a long time without checking in from anyone. Its typical in an indian restaurant to face this, but it is nevertheless an inconvenience to deal with if you are on any kind of time rush. Again though, extremely kind people. I needed some food for my son asap (since I knew how long things take) and they brought him some idli fast and another time the wait was getting long so they gave me a free puff to eat, which was kind. Just go with an empty belly and patience, and you will not be disappointed AT ALL. So delicious, I will return regardless. ** mama's NO CHANGING TABLE available for your little ones, but they do have high chairs
RULE OF THE DAY : COME EARLY... since certain items in their MENU will RAN OUT! Went here for a LATE DINNER @ almost 21:00hrs. I ordered the Dosa, and Dum Goat Biryani. While Hubs opt to have Goat Curry. My order of Dosa and Hubs order of Goat Curry came out first. After finishing my Dosa and Hubs finished his Dinner, then the Biryani order came out. But the Staff gave me the Goat Fry Biryani instead. They should have told me they RAN OUT of Dum Goat Biryani first instead making me wait for a bit. They apologized and comp the Biryani which they ran out and gave me the Goat Fry Biryani instead, which I don't want but since I am still hungry after eating the Dosa, I just took a bite. The flavors of the Goat Fry Biryani, is was just OK. Nothing stood out. After that, I lost my appetite. I came here all across town in the snow, and they ran out of their Goat Dum Biryani. *MEGA SIGH* They will have a PROPER MENU by Monday of December 19th 2016. Hopefully by then, they will sort out their kinks out and I may return to make sure I try their Goat Dum Biryani and perhaps by then, my review might differ. FAST FORWARD later on SUNDAY April 16th 2017 for a 12PM LUNCH. I invite my friends for Lunch here through our meetup group. Some of my friends opt for the LUNCH Thali. It has 2 options, the MEAT OPTIONS and the VEGETARIAN OPTIONS From what I recall and my friends who opt for the MEAT Option THALI : The Thali included were : * Appetizers : Fish Fry & Chicken 65. My friend likes the fish fry way better and its her favorite compared to the Chicken 65. The Chicken 65 was a "little boring". * The MAIN Entrees of a "scoop" : Mutton curry and Chicken curry. The brown sauce with the mutton was very good and tasty - a few too many bones for a North American but she liked it a lot. * The Rice has nice flavor with spices. * The dessert were : rice pudding and gajar halwa aka CARROT Halwa. The Carrot Halwa was very tasty. She prefers her rice pudding a little thicker but in this case its too diluted on what they serve, though it has good flavors of cardamom. Personally for me, I opt to order the Karaikudi Goat ($12.99) and Goat Dum Biryani ($13.99). For my order of Goat Dum Biryani, I requested to make it SOUTH INDIAN SPICY, it came SPICY the way I like SPICY but the flavor depth of the Goat Dum Biryani DID NOT WOW me as much as I was hoping for. Other than that, they give ALOT OF BONES than the GOAT MEAT itself. A little disheartening even though cooking with BONES gives flavors. But for this instance, the GOAT DUM BIRYANI was a little let down for me. NOW for the Karaikudi Goat dish, I think I might have this dish at some other establishments. The taste was just OK. Once again, this dish CONTAINS MORE BONES rather than the meat itself. I felt like they "cheat" aka "skimp" aka "stingy", us the patrons, by giving more "BONES", rather than the Quality meat. I don't mind paying more, but who wants to eat ALL BONES... *DOUBLE MAJOR SIGH* My friend who sat on my right, she opt to order a Main Entrée of Paneer Butter Masala. This dish contains very little Homemade Cheese Cubes, and ALOT OF "Gravy". She expressed that this dish should not be a MAIN Entrée but instead it works well for an appetizer instead. She also ordered the Naan and Dosa. All the dishes she ordered she said it was OK. It is NOT MIND Blowing and Does NOT WOW her as much too. Another friend who sat on my left, he ordered the Chilli Idly ($8.49) for appetizer and his Main Entrée was Goat Vindaloo ($12.99). He likes what he had. Another friend at the table was disappointed with her MAIN Entrée dish. It was Gutthi Vankaya Curry ($10.49). It was stuffed eggplant/brinjal curry in traditional Andhra style. Even when I taste it, it was just BLAND. The Payment System. If you use your CREDIT CARD, you can use their "POS" aka "TABLET", but if you use CASH like me, I have to go to the MAIN COUNTER where I have to wait in line, just to make the payment. YES, they are SUPER BUSY when we finished our Lunch. Furthermore, by 13:30hrs ish, this establishment is PACKED TO THE BRIM. Other than that, while we were there, they DO NOT SWITCH ON the AC. It felt "stuffy" inside. YES, this establishment is a CHAIN across the USA soil such as in DE, IL, IN, MD, MO, NC, TN, WA and TX to name a few. There are more "branches" in TX itself. Maybe its a franchise of some sort. I wonder if the QUALITY is the same or not?? *Hint Hint* to my friends who live in TX, maybe they email me their thoughts?? So inconclusion, Hyderabad House Biryani Place ONLY received 2.5 stars as "GENEROUS Review" in my books. YES, they offer Biryani, Dosa and other dishes I like. But in terms of QUALITY, SPICE and FLAVOR, there ARE BETTER establishments in town aka just across the HIGHWAY going EAST OF ARAPAHOE that REMAINS My Favorite.

Outstanding food! One of my favorite Indian restaurants by far. They have a bakery that has tasty treats to die for. read more
Through a ridiculous custercluss, after waiting 3 hours for my parents for lunch, I had to admit to the world that I was hangry on Easter. Being away from home didn't help. I had looked at Hyderabad House on Yelp during my trip and decided this was the perfect time to try it since I was on the crave for paneer. Upon arriving at the restaurant, the place was packed! Staffing levels were appropriate but it was just a busy day so I tried to keep my hanger under control. The garlic naan was decent size and flavorful. The paneer was cut in larger chunks than I'm used to in Seattle and it was glorious! The butter masala sauce was perfect for naan dipping! The shrimp masala was nice and spicy (something that was missing from my paneer). The chicken pakoda was fried crisp, seasoned well, and presented beautifully. Despite my less than positive mood, Hyderabad House met all my expectations and more! I'm glad to have a chance to visit for a decent meal. read more

If you are British and looking for the Indian food you grew up on, Hyderabad House will be a pleasant surprise. I grew up near Bradford, and the curries here are as good as you can get back home. We arrived around 8pm on a Saturday night and the place was absolutely packed, but we didn't have to wait very long (our party was only two people). There were Bollywood films on the television, lots of families, and women dressed in saris - we were the only non-Desi folk in the place, which I took as a good sign. The menu is vast with a wide variety of both South and North Indian dishes. Prices are really reasonable, especially compared to other Indian restaurants in the area. It did take a little while for food to come out, but our waiter was very apologetic about this, and we didn't mind - the place was packed and had many large parties so I imagine the kitchen was extremely busy. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly and seemed eager to make our experience a good one, which I appreciated. The food is fantastic - everything was perfectly spiced, and we asked for things spicy, which they actually were. We ordered a vegetarian kurma and a chicken vindaloo, as well as some samosas and onion pakora. The kurma tasted just like a korma you would get back in the UK, and it was a total nostaglia moment for me. It's really hard to find Indian food that meets my expectations, and this place absolutely did. The great prices didn't hurt, either. We saw other people's orders of biryani, dosas, naan, and tandoori chicken as they were whisked past us, and everything looked (and smelled) amazing. This is likely our new 'go-to' Indian place, and I can't wait to return to try more things and sample the South Indian dishes. read more

I love this place. What a find. Cool Bollywood interior. Hip kids serving. Filled with Indian faces enjoying amazing Thali lunch. I had the veggie version. Crazy good curry and chutney selection with insane good biryani. Watched beautiful dosas come out of the kitchen as well. Thali tray even had the banana leaf. Found myself eating with fingers. A real find in an area that isn't strong in ethnic culture food. read more

They have started offering their Full Menu. Good food, good ambience. Service can improve. They are serving lunch buffet on occasions like New Year. They have good weekend specials, puffs, samosas, cakes etc. They can put some effort into their Vegetarian Lunch Box by giving some good side dishes like paneer tikka masala, gobi manchurian, vegetable kurma etc. Hyderabad House is one of the good South Indian Restaurants that has opened in Colorado, which is refreshing from the old Indian Restaurants that has forgotten authentic Indian style of food. read more

Just got back from here & had the chicken biriany (sorry if i spelled that wrong). The food was AMAZING and the customer service was just as amazing. Everyone was super friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a really homey feel to it, it was a very comfortable place to eat. My boyfriend and i ordered a family size chicken meal, it was massive and super affordable. The plate came with four different sides, all which were amazing. We ate until we were completely stuffed AND had food to take home. Tons of food and it cost less than 30 dollars for the both of us (including tip + a side of naan) They have a bakery in the restaurant that looks amazing. We wanted to try something from it, but we were too full after eating. We will have to come back and try it. Oh, and the naan was amazing & freshly made. Overall, i would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good, hearty, filling meal at a great price. read more

So. Much. Food. Indians are known to spread love through food and this restaurant definitely does that abundantly. That being said, it wasn't that good. I really wish I liked it, but it's not. If you want something authentically satisfying, this isn't the place for you. If you're just craving an Indian food fix for a reasonable price, check this place out. read more

A good variety of indian dishes especially the spicy andra south indian and tamil nadu idly dosa varieties. Unique deserts and appetizers. Must try place hidden behind wells fargo bank on west side of arapahoe rd. Caution extremely spicy hot food you may want to ask for ver mild and have yogurt on the side as backup. If you eat the regular level you may even get sick. read more

Worst food service! This is the second time we have received chicken in our take out food in spite of ordering vegetarian dishes. We are pure vegetarians and this is not acceptable! When told about this, all the staff had to say was that this was a mistake. I would highly recommend not eating here because you never know what's in your food! read more
