Regrettably, I had the unfortunate experience of dining at this establishment for my recent high school reunion. We had diligently made reservations for the unlimited menu, ensuring ample notice for our party of 18. Alas, our culinary journey commenced with a rather displeasing jeera soda, which left an unfavorable aftertaste. The subsequent offering of garlic cheese bread, though acceptable, failed to meet the anticipated standards set by this reputed establishment. Disappointingly, the quality of the french fries and cheese balls was found to be lacking as well.
In light of these early setbacks, our hopes were somewhat restored by the arrival of the pizzas. Their redeeming features included delectable tomatoes, a delightful cheese composition, and a thin, crispy crust. However, it must be noted that the pizza toppings seemed to be somewhat sparingly applied, resulting in a rather underwhelming presentation.
Regrettably, our enthusiasm was swiftly dampened by the inadequacy of the pastas, both in red and white sauce varieties. They exhibited a distinct lack of finesse, as if prepared by an amateur rather than a seasoned culinary professional. Alas, I cannot provide any commentary on the desserts, as the inefficiency of the waitstaff in taking orders and delivering dishes meant that each course was needlessly protracted. Countless reminders were necessary to elicit even the most basic of requests, significantly detracting from the overall dining experience.
While the restaurant bears the endorsement of Jamie Oliver, a renowned figure in the culinary world, the food presented failed to live up to his esteemed reputation. It is my earnest hope that the establishment takes these criticisms to heart and endeavors to rectify these shortcomings, ensuring an enhanced dining experience for future patrons.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreAfter over 20 orders in the last 2 months and a few inches of waist line increase, it's high time I wrote this review. My family and I have tried all vegetarian pizzas, most of sides / small bites and a few pasta dishes here. The ingredients including every topping, cheese, flour taste fresh and delicious. We particularly like sun dried tomato as well as fresh cherry tomatoes. Margherita and Pesto Besto are our favorites, though kadai paneer one was particularly delicious. I just wish it was made less spicy so we could order more often.
I have not been to Naples, the birthplace of pizza but pizzas here at Jamie's remind me of the pizza I used to eat in a farmer's market back in US and it was made by 2nd generation Italian immigrants with roots in Naples. It's a refreshing change after being used to the dry and floury pizzas of chain restaurants. We Indians are notorious for using ketchup on pizza, which I never observed outside India (except perhaps with Indians living abroad)...personally I found that ketchup goes well with dry and flavorless pizzas made by chain restaurants in India, though Jamie's is an exception. The pizzas here are so flavorful that I never needed to use any condiments. Adding anything to the pizzas here would only interfere with the flavor.
I've been very good with diet and exercise for years and it's a pity this Jamie's opened in our neighborhood after which my wallet and waist line took a severe hit. But on hind sight, I found that pricing is on par with any other pizza place in the city (compare based on size) and given the quality, I would choose Jamie's over any pizza place be it a chain restaurant or otherwise. I hope to visit soon, but not too often as I look to get back on...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreTo start off, this is the best authentic Italian Pizza š I have had in Hyderabad till date. It was very fresh throughout, the dough, base was nice, fresh sauce, fresh toppings. Most important of all, very very less cheese that is not visible and which doesn't give that heavy nauseating feel from popular pizza joints. This is the real pizza. Even the cheese they have used top quality - real mozzarella, fresh white, soft not the hard yellow chewy cheap one. I was really surprised with the pizza, didn't expect it this good. The pizzas are so light, flavourful, easily one can consume a nice portion without any guilt, health conscious, feel satisfied and happy. They didn't have bruschetta which left us disappointed. But the other starters were good. Fish fingers were really nice & fresh. Quantity was a bit less. Expected 8pcs for the portion/price but got only 5pc. Chicken wings, ok not soo good as could feel the vinegar taste a bit strong. The yogurt dips are nice though. Ambience is ok, nothing extraordinary or great. It's perfect for a pizza place. The reason it only gets for a 4 star is mainly on the deserts. Though most items feel a bit overpriced for the portions/size served, it kind of makes us with the quality & taste, feels ok worth. But, the deserts disappointed it's blatantly overpriced for a single piece of tiramisu or cheesecake it's 299 and 309. Even the best desert houses in Hyderabad that I have tried is not this expensive for a single slice. The deserts were good but nothing special or deserving that price. They need to fix the desert menu. A compulsory 10% service charge also is not very nice. The service charge should be optional and also customer shall decide how...
