We recently visited Hyderabad Wala in Birmingham as a group of 10 people, and it was a truly fantastic experience from start to finish!
From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. They made sure our large group was comfortably seated and guided us through the menu with great suggestions.
We started with a variety of starters like Gobi 65, Chilli Paneer, and Chicken Lollipops — all packed with authentic flavors and perfectly spiced. The Hyderabadi Marag was also a standout — a warm, rich soup that set the tone for the rest of the meal.
For the main course, we ordered a selection of Hyderabadi biryanis, and every single one was delicious. Some of the biryanis we enjoyed included:
Chicken Dum Biryani
Lamb Dum Biryani
Keema Biryani
Prawn Biryani
Fish Biryani
Nalli (Lamb Shank) Biryani
Each biryani was fragrant, flavorful, and served hot, with generous portions and side dishes like raita and spicy salan. The Lamb Dum Biryani and Keema Biryani were especially memorable — rich, aromatic, and perfectly cooked.
The restaurant’s ambiance was comfortable, and despite the size of our group, service was smooth and timely. The team handled everything professionally, and we truly appreciated the attention to detail.
Overall, Hyderabad Wala is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Hyderabadi cuisine. Whether you're dining with family, friends, or in a big group, you'll be well taken care of.
Highly recommended — we'll definitely be...
Read moreI visited Hyderabad Wala Restaurant today, and as a proud Hyderabadi, it saddens me to write this review.
I parked my car behind the restaurant and entered to confirm with the staff if parking there was okay. They assured me it was fine. I then ordered food and after a short wait, my food was served. While I was in the middle of enjoying my meal, a man approached me and asked if the car parked in the backyard was mine. I replied yes, and he informed me that he needed me to move my car so he could move his.
I explained that I believed I had left enough space for another car to pass, but he insisted that he couldn't. He urged me to come quickly and I requested a moment to wash my hands, Reluctantly, I stopped eating, washed my hands, and moved my car.
When i returned ,I lost the desire to continue my meal. I requested the staff for a box to pack the remaining food because i didn't want to waste it. I also thought of ordering some takeaway dishes, and at the end of the meal I was looking forward to trying their tea, which I had heard was excellent. Unfortunately, I couldn’t enjoy it because of how upset I was by the whole situation.
To my surprise, i came to know that the man who interrupted my meal was the restaurant owner. This behavior from the owner himself was highly unprofessional and disappointing. It marred what could have been an enjoyable experience. I hope the management, especially the owner, ensures better treatment of customers...
Read moreThis used to be one of the best Indian restaurants in Birmingham. When I first visited, I was genuinely happy to find a place that felt like home who used to serve fresh, authentic food. Sadly, the standards have dropped significantly over time.
On my recent visits, I was served food that was clearly spoiled. The chicken curry had a strong rotten smell, and the biryani was obviously not freshly prepared. Despite my concerns, the staff (don’t know the name of that guy) insisted it had been cooked earlier and might not heated?? which was simply not true. It felt like they expect customers to believe anything they say, assuming we can’t tell the difference between freshly made and reheated leftover food from previous day or long back.
What’s more concerning is that I personally fell sick and experienced food poisoning after one of those meals, which is completely unacceptable. I’ve also heard similar complaints from friends in my network who visited recently and faced the same issues with the chicken items they have ordered.
I’m not trying to spread negativity, but I believe in giving honest feedback. This is a genuine message for anyone assuming they’re always serving fresh food; it’s not always the case. I gave this place multiple chances, but the repeated poor service and food quality have left me extremely disappointed. I’m not visiting this...
