Jazeera Indian Hyderabadi Restaurant (Zabiha Halal, HMS CERT.) — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jazeera, an authentic Hyderabadi restaurant that truly exceeded my expectations. Located in the heart of Hicksville, Jazeera offers a delightful culinary journey into the rich and aromatic flavors of Hyderabad.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was immediately captivated by its elegant and inviting ambiance. The staff members at Jazeera were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and well-informed about the traditional Hyderabadi dishes they served.

Let's dive into the main attraction—the food! The menu at Jazeera offers a diverse selection of traditional Hyderabadi delicacies, each prepared with great care and attention to detail. From flavorful biryanis to succulent kebabs, every dish on the menu promises an unforgettable dining experience.

To begin my culinary adventure, I opted for the renowned Hyderabadi Biryani, and it was a true masterpiece. The fragrant basmati rice was perfectly cooked and layered with tender meat, creating an explosion of flavors in each mouthful. The biryani showcased a harmonious blend of aromatic spices that elevated the dish to new heights, leaving me craving for more.

Next, I savored the flavorful kebabs, including the assortment of Kebabs. The Kebabs were expertly cooked, featuring a beautiful textured exterior and a juicy, well-seasoned interior. Accompanied by a variety of chutneys, the kebabs provided a tantalizing burst of taste.

For the main course, I relished the Dum ka Murgh Korma and the Bagara Baingan. The Korma was a culinary masterpiece, with its creamy, aromatic gravy and tender chicken that melted in my mouth. The Bagara Baingan, a classic Hyderabadi eggplant curry, featured perfectly cooked eggplants in a luscious, well-spiced sauce that delighted my taste buds.

To conclude this unforgettable dining experience, I indulged in the traditional desserts—Qubani Ka Meetha and Double Ka Meetha. The Qubani Ka Meetha, made with dried apricots, offered a delightful blend of sweetness and tanginess that left a lasting impression. The Double Ka Meetha, a rich bread pudding-like dessert, was a heavenly treat, soaked in fragrant milk and adorned with nuts.

In summary, my dining experience at Jazeera was nothing short of exceptional. The restaurant not only delivered an authentic taste of Hyderabad but also showcased a commitment to quality, presentation, and excellent service. The flavors were authentic and robust, and the entire experience left me longing for more.

If you find yourself in Hicksville, Long Island, do yourself a favor and drop by Jazeera. This place is more than just a restaurant; it’s a delightful escape into the heart of Hyderabadi cuisine. With a stellar reputation and an ambiance that feels like a warm embrace, Jazeera has quickly become one of my favorite spots.

Now, let’s talk about the food. The Mutton Biryani is a must-try—aromatic basmati rice layered with tender mutton pieces, all infused with traditional spices that will transport you straight to India with each bite. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, the Chicken Biryani is equally satisfying, featuring perfectly marinated chicken and fragrant rice topped with caramelized onions.

For those who crave a rich, creamy dish, the Chicken Korma is a winner. Simmered in a smooth sauce with yogurt and aromatic spices, it’s the kind of dish that feels like a warm hug. And let’s not overlook the Mutton Haleem—a comforting, hearty dish with deep flavors that’s perfect for any occasion. Honestly, it would give the Hyderabadi spots on Devon Avenue in Chicago a run for their money!

Now, I can’t finish this review without raving about the desserts. The Double Ka Meetha is simply divine, with bread soaked in sweetened milk, cardamom, and saffron, garnished with pistachios that add a perfect crunch.

On a sunny Sunday afternoon I had an intense craving for Indian food emerge. Searching for indian restaurants in the Hicksville area, Jazeera caught my eye as it appeared to be fairly new and it had Hyderabadi in its name, and Hyderabadi biryani is widely considered to be one of the best variations of biryani. We feasted on hyderabadi mutton biryani, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, garlic naan, and at the recommendation of the chef/owner, a beef karahi dish. All of the food lived up to the expectations and reputations of this flavorful cuisine, and the owner Abdul Salam embodied the very ideal of South Asian hospitality. It was evident from his interactions with us and other patrons that he is truly passionate about his food and treats everyone as a fellow family member to be fed. After we had feasted on the above dishes we were thoroughly and utterly full, but brother Abdul Salam insisted we try his desserts and gave us two to try, free of charge and on the house. Without any exaggeration, I can truly say the desserts especially blew my mind, as my wife, who doesn't have as much of a sweet tooth as I do, greatly enjoyed the Shahi Tukra, and the mango rabdri bursted with a perfect balance of flavors and sweetness. We took the leftovers to go so my younger siblings could try the food and they also enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend everyone to come try this restaurant not only for the delicious eats, but also to experience the hospitality and compassion exhibited by the chef/owner. I am very thankful for my first time experience at...
