Sri Balaji Family Dhaba — Restaurant in Hyderabad

If you’re looking for the worst dining experience of your life, congratulations—you’ve found it. This place is a total disaster from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, I was hit by the overwhelming stench of rotting vegetables and stale grease. The floors were covered in grime, the tables were sticky, and the entire place looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. I was already regretting my decision, but somehow, it got even worse.

The food here is an insult to vegetarians and anyone with taste buds. The dishes were so disgusting I wouldn’t even feed them to stray animals. The vegetables were clearly past their expiration date—mushy, slimy, and tasteless. The curries were nothing more than bland, watery sludge, and the paneer was a chewy, rubbery disaster. Even the rice tasted like it had been sitting in a pot for days. The dal? It was like they boiled water with some yellow coloring and called it a day. Every bite was more nauseating than the last, and I seriously questioned whether the food was even safe to eat.

The hygiene was nightmarish. The plates and cutlery were caked with grime, and I saw bugs crawling around the dining area. Yes, actual bugs! And don’t even think about going to the restroom—it was a health hazard in itself, with overflowing garbage, a foul odor, and dirt everywhere. Honestly, I’m shocked this place hasn’t been shut down by the health department.

As for the service, it was equally disgusting. The staff couldn’t be bothered to even pretend they cared. They were rude, slow, and acted like doing their jobs was a personal favor to us. They ignored us for so long that we had to practically beg for water, and when the food finally came, it was thrown onto the table like they were feeding livestock.

This place is a disgrace to the word “restaurant.” Do yourself a favor and NEVER, EVER eat here. I wouldn’t come back if they paid me. You’ll leave feeling sick, angry, and with a burning desire to report them to the authorities. AVOID...

Worst place worst food... I asked for less spicy. The waiter asked me medium spicy and I told lesser than medium. Dissapointment started with soup being spicy followed by Alu 65.

When shared the feedback, he says this is less than less spicy. I could imagine what spicy meant in the restaurant.

Garlic naan with no garlic flavour and same with other flavour naan.

Lassi to end the meal because it was spicy... I should say road side hacker makes it better.

Paid a bill of thousand for items...

Update - again visited 01Oct23, the service was super fast we ordered all starters and all were good to taste.

I had below items and all where tasting yum. I found the food fresh and tasty. I went for lunch on 17dec21 and dint find any crowd. Overall good place for a nice veg food. If you want to order food use apps they don't order directly. Giving 4 star due to : No lift as the restaurant starts from 1st floor Only tomato sauce served with...
