Hyderabad House Allen — Restaurant in Allen

The food is authentic and deliciously fresh. The service leaves a lot of room for improvement. First about the food - the Andhra goat curry fresh spices from Andhra Pradesh. Well blended. Served with basmati rice and tandoori roti. Medium level of spice is good for an adventurous American palate. A more cautious American would choose mild spicing or perhaps a biryani. The service needs training. I was shown to a booth without any welcoming words. I was immediately asked for my order before seeing the menu. I asked for water while I studied the menu. A warm bottled water was set down without a glass. A different waiter came to the booth and was willing to explain some of the menu items. I asked for kulfi as dessert but was told they don't have it yet. The server suggested a near substitute that I wasn't familiar with. An unoppened carry-out plastic container was brought out with a plastic soup spoon. Meanwhile, the used serving dishes from the curry, rice, and roti were not removed from the table. I tried to open the carry-out dessert container, but the ingredients partly spilled on the table in a sticky mess alongside the other dirty dishes still on the table. Not very elegant. This is a new establishment that already has excellent food, but the wait staff need further training. I would go back for the food and genuinely hope the service can...

Our order: Palak Paneer, Garlic Naan, Potlam Mutton Pulav with egg omelette and 2 Mango Lassis.

Omg this place is sooo delicious! Words don’t do it justice. We feel so lucky to live nearby—this is seriously one of our favorite spots! The food is bombastic. We’ve been here 3–4 times already, but today’s Palak Paneer was next level—a full-on flavor explosion in my mouth!

What makes it even more impressive is their commitment to quality: apparently, 80% of their spices are shipped directly from India, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. That’s some insane dedication to authenticity, and I totally applaud their standards.

Show this place some love and make sure you visit with an empty stomach—the portions are huge and super generous. Definitely a must-visit! 👏🔥

Something the restaurant could improve is the wait time for their food. It takes awhile for orders to start rolling in. Maybe 20 mins? But honestly not too bad and still worth the wait. If that's how they keep their food top notch then I can't complain about wait times. We called our order ahead of time so they could start making it while we were on the road.

Ty guys! Keep up the good work!

Ps: we celebrated our 15th anniversary today at this restaurant and no...

Verdict: Highly recommended. Authentic, hearty, and clearly made with care. If you’re a fan of mutton or Hyderabadi-style biryani, this one should be on your list.

If you’re looking for a biryani that delivers on both depth and comfort, Hyderabad House’s Nalli Mutton Biryani in Allen hits the mark. The first thing that stands out is the aroma—rich, spiced, and inviting. You know you’re in for something good before the first bite.

The rice is perfectly cooked—fluffy, flavorful, and not greasy. But the real highlight is the nalli mutton. The mutton is incredibly tender, slow-cooked to the point where it just falls apart with a spoon. It’s coated in a thick, spiced gravy that’s bold without being overwhelming. You can taste the care and time that went into making it.

Portion-wise, it’s generous—you won’t leave hungry. It’s the kind of meal that doesn’t just satisfy, it stays with you.

The staff informed me that the spices are directly imported from India and the meat is ordered thrice a week, so the...
