Hyderabad House Indian Restaurant & Bakery — Restaurant in Cranberry Township

Had been this place thrice since they had opened. All three occasion was a bad experience. Management does not even worry about customers time, all they want is money. Day 1 : placed a pick up order.. the order was never prepared till i had reached the restuarant. Made me to wait 30-40 minutes. Management does not have a courtesy to inform customer about cancellation or out of stock. They expect customer to watch the app for updates Day 2: visited with friends, my friend asked the waiter what is best pulao you would suggest. They mentioned RG Kodi pulao. We order one for dine in and one for to go. But we were served only the to go order. When asked the waiter says we had placed only to go, finally accepting that was mistake on his side and said all other rice items are closed for the day Day 3. Placed a pickup order at 10.55 am (with pick up time 12.30). I got the confirmation immediately over email, when i reached the restraunt at 1.15 pm to pick up, the didnt even start preparing. The waiter receives the order via app after i show the email. After 20 minutes wait they are calling to say the item i had orderd is out of stock… no one from the management is interested to solve though they stand in the cash counter.. All 3 attempts had dissapointed, never going again. All they care is money, not customer satisfaction. If food item is not being served, please take effort to remove from the menu ( both online & in restratunt) dont take customer...

I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to share our wonderful experience here.

From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Coming to the food, we ordered idli, punugulu, Vijayawada boneless chicken biryani, and mango lassi — and every single item exceeded our expectations.

The idli was fresh and soft, and the chutneys and sambar were absolutely top-notch. I especially want to highlight the sambar — I even asked for a second cup!It actually made me think of the sambar I’ve had at restaurants back home. The fact that they thoughtfully included drumsticks in each cup was such a lovely touch.

The punugulu were another standout — perfectly crispy and not greasy at all. They tasted just like the delicious street food you find back in India.

As for the biryani, the flavors were rich and aromatic. At first, we thought the portion might be too much for two people, but we nearly finished it all — that’s how good it was.

Finally, the mango lassi was the perfect finishing touch. It tasted so fresh and not overly sweet. I honestly can’t remember the last time I had a lassi that good.

Before we left, we spoke to a lady in a red shirt and told her how much we loved everything. She encouraged us to let the owners know, but we had to leave and so I wanted to write this review instead.

Highly recommend this place — it’s a true gem, and we’re so happy we got to experience such delicious,...

I know Indian food well, and I prefer traditional Indian food over Americanized versions. I'm happy to know that this place absolutely offers more traditional style foods (and menu items), rather than the same old weak americanized stuff you find everywhere. However, with that being said, it comes with a few things to note: your food will be spicy. Sorry, but Indian food IS spicy food- so if you need very mild heat, go elsewhere. Their heat scale is not based on people who cannot tolerate spicy foods. Also, some of the stewed meat dishes have chopped bone-in chunks of meat and a few small bone chips. This is what you will find in many countries. The marrow greatly enhances the flavor of the sauce, with slow cooked bones. The bones are annoying, and you do need to eat somewhat carefully, but the bones do soften a lot during cooking so it's not a big problem. The flavor more than makes up for the trouble!! The chicken korma (heat level- "spicy", which is like a "mild-medium" in India) was exactly as it should be. My only complaint is that there was not much chicken meat for the price, which was disappointing. (Mostly thick sauce, with a little meat after the bones, but I definitely got too full to finish the rest of the rice and sauce, which I'll save to add to something at home.) Still, the sauce was good enough for me to happily leave 4 stars. It was a pick-up order. Perhaps I'd get more meat if I dine there. I intend to...
