The Hyderabad Indian Grill Nicollet Ave Minneapolis — Restaurant in Minneapolis

We had the pleasure of dining at Hyderabadi Indian Grill, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming service set the tone for a delightful meal. The staff were courteous, attentive, and ensured everything was perfect throughout our visit.

Now let’s talk about the food – a true celebration of bold spices and authentic flavors!

🍗 Chilli Chicken Perfectly cooked with a slight crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, this dish had the ideal balance of heat and flavor. The sauce was rich, tangy, and had just the right kick to wake up the taste buds. Each bite was packed with flavor, making it an instant favorite.

🍖 Keema Naan Soft, fluffy naan generously stuffed with spiced minced meat – this was a masterpiece on its own. The keema was well-seasoned and juicy, blending beautifully with the freshly baked naan. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause and savor each bite.

🍛 Chicken 65 Biryani A fusion of two beloved dishes, this biryani was a showstopper. The fragrant, perfectly cooked basmati rice combined with the spicy, crispy Chicken 65 pieces created an explosion of flavor. The layers of spice, the aroma of saffron, and the tender chicken all came together to deliver a rich, unforgettable biryani experience.

✨ Service The staff were polite, efficient, and made us feel truly welcomed. The food arrived hot and fresh, and the ambiance of the restaurant was clean, cozy, and perfect for enjoying a hearty...

I arrived at Hyderabad right around the time they opened and was greeted warmly.

I ordered the chicken platter off the lunch special menu and got the tikka masala along with the bottomless chai.

Food was ready pretty quickly and smelled so good, I forgot to take a picture until several bites in! While the individual portions of the special were on the smaller side, I left satiated and with leftovers!

I ordered medium spice and could have handled a bit more kick, but the pickled tomato had a nice warm heat to add some more dimension.

The depth of flavors was almost baffling! The food was really good and I felt like a little bit of a broken record telling my host so again and again.

The tea skinned over, likely because the milk has a nice high fat content. I just skimmed it off, added some sugar and had at it. Love that it didn't come presweetened so I could sweeten it to my liking. I'm sure others will appreciate this too. Cardamom notes were prevalent and divine.

Was intrigued by the "street bites" section of the menu, and will definitely come back with friends to try more. Appreciated the number of pictures on the menu.

They accept credit cards and seem to have a tap to pay system if you need to pay with phone, but bring cash to tip! There was no option on my receipt and the server was kind and attentive!

Glad I found this place. The high rating...

Update: Restaurant contacted after reading my review. Decided to try it once more, ordered butter chicken and mutton biryani. The curry was good however biryani's flavors weren't coming together, felt like mutton and rice were cooked in separate spices and mixed together. Appreciate the service for trying to make amends but wouldn't visit again unless I have no other choice.

Original review: OVERRATED. Can't understand how they have so many ratings. We ordered takeout for Dum ka Ghosht, Gongura Chicken and Chicken chettinadu, all spicy. Only the Gongura had some distinct taste but other two tasted the same. The curries were simply made spicy and hot without flavor. Felt quite disappointed for paying 18$ per dish. We also ordered kheema naan, aloo naan, onion naan and garlic naan. All the naans were undercooked. Kheema, aloo and onion naan had very little stuffing in them. In appetizers, we ordered chicken 65 and chicken pepper fry. The 65 was the only dish...
