    The Hyderabadi Biryani was good, It had a unique flavour to it. I highly recommend the Butter Naan, It was fluffy and delicious. The Khala Bhuna was not so special, not as flavourful. The food preparation time needs improvement. The staff is supper friendly and helpful when needed. The furniture on the other hand is very old and worn out. Overall hygiene needs little improvement.

    Their kababs are way to my heart and all the Indian cuisine! One will definitely love their foods for sure. If you ever crave Indian cuisine, Handi would be worth the visit. One thing to remember that this place is always very crowded and it might take time to get your food on table after being ordered. It also closes on time so any delay and taking them granted that they would take your order is totally wrong.

    Previously I've visited Handi Dhanmondi branch, but this is the first time that I visited here in the Cox Bazar branch. We ordered items of many varieties - Hyderabadi biryani, bhaat, tomato bhorta, kala vuna, loitta fry and cashew nut Salad, weird combination right? 🤔 Hyderabadi biryani is the most popular dish here and it didn't disappoint. I normally don't like Hyderabadi biryani and never order this, but this time my husband ordered and I tasted. And to be honest, I liked it. Bhaat bhorta, kala vuna seemed average. Didn't felt anything special here. So wouldn't recommend. I mean it wasn't bad that I couldn't eat it or anything but there wasn't anything special about it either. The taste was okayish. The loitta fry was really good and I can eat it like chips all day. Doesn't even feel like I'm eating a fish! Finally the cashew nut salad was really really good. Loved it a lot! It was crunchy exactly as I love my cashew nut salad. But unfortunately most restaurants can make it like that.

    The food items were delicious and very much reasonable. The service and the environment were good, though there was a bit of crowd, but it proves their better quality foods and excellent services. Recommended to taste the food, espeically their "Hyderabady Biriyani".

    I loved the Hyderabadi biriyani. The quantity of one bucket was absolutely perfect. But a simple kind of complementary salad could be served with the biriyani. We had to buy the salad.

    Tried their Hyderabadi biriyani (mutton) full. It tastes excellent. Though the price was little expensive compared to the amount. I splitted it into two and had a custard (tasted excellent) also. Good place to have foods with family and friends. But customer service need to be improved.

    Another worst restaurant in Bangladesh. I don't understand it, how can all the brunches of a restaurant be bad at the same time!!

    Item 1: Hyderabadi Biriyani - around 250 The rice was good, a little on the sweeter side. Mutton in the Biriyani was underwhelming. Item 2: Mixed Salad - 60 taka Picture says all.

    Good places for dining with a little bit high price. Almost every type of food are available here but the famous is Hyderabad Birayni. Test is good, staff behavior average. Sometimes you have to wait for getting sit for longer in the pick time.

  • 4/5 Mohammed Syedul H. 1 year ago on Google
    We reached there during lunch hour, so it was a little bit crowded. The food was good but I expected more according to their costing. Clean and calm environment. Service was also good too. Overall, I'll recommend it as one of the best at Cox's Bazar of course. Fun fact: Cricketer Ashraful was having lunch with friends just beside us!! Unfortunately failed to take a photograph with him.

    Great foods are served here. I specially like their plain rice, mix bhorta platter, loitta fish fry, dal.

  • 5/5 Semontee S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my fav restaurants in Cox's bazar. We always go back to their Hydrabadi biriyani and fruit custard. One of their under rated drink are jira jol. Their price is very decent considering the huge servings.

  • 3/5 Sayeeda K. 10 months ago on Google
    The Hyderabadi Biryani is a must have and very appetizing. However, their service was not the best. The restaurant felt crammed up too. It was a busy night so it was expected.

  • 4/5 Abdullah Sayem N. 9 months ago on Google
    The Hyderabadi Biriyani was quite good. The quantity could be more regarding the price. The atmosphere is very nice and cozy. The service is okay.

  • 4/5 tC C. 8 months ago on Google
    The food is okay. It wasn't the best but it was okay. The service is good. They had to go beef that looks interested pretty interesting. The borta was pretty good. The beef brunette was also pretty good. when we went in they didn't have some items we wanted. But since it's been normal thing in these types of restaurants. So I guess I can't hold it against them. But I wasn't able to try everything I wanted to try. The service was nice and servers are pretty cool with us.

  • 3/5 Asif I. 7 months ago on Google
    Not a good experience. Against value, their food and service don't make the cut. We ordered their famous Hyderabadi Biryani, which was style over substance. The mutton was extremely undercooked, and flavours were close to being too much. The Achari beef was another Item we tried. It was a traditional Mejbaan rather than Achari. Their Custard also had no fruits other than the "cherry on top". We got served almost 45 minutes late, which translates into loss of time in a tourist spot. I would recommend to steer clear of it. There's a lot more other good places.

  • 1/5 Tufayel A. 5 months ago on Google
    Had a really bad experience. I asked the manager if they have hyderabadi chicken and mutton biriyani they said YES but then they served only mutton one. And gave us regular chicken biriyani which was totally waste of money as it was tasteless. I asked another staff he said he don’t do chicken hyderabadi biriyani i ask again then why your manager said you do he said we have no idea. Then i called the manager again and this time he said YES it is the hyderabadi chicken biriyani and we had a long conversation about this. At last when we received the bill we saw they didn’t charge us for hyderabadi biriyani price for the chicken ones but they charged us for regular chicken biriyani. That means they don’t have or even do make hyderabadi biriyani with chicken but still the manger’s saying they do. Those staffs doesn’t even know what items they have or not. Even the food wasn’t upto the mark at all. Felt like having a VUNA KHICHURI with chicken. Never gonna recommend this restaurant to anyone in my life. ❌❌❌

    Food was average quality Wasn’t good like what they served in Dhaka Wasn’t fresh too

  • 3/5 Md Nuruzzaman S. 4 months ago on Google
    The ambiance was nice. The service was good. But the food wasn’t great. I've ate at the Chattogram branch before and their Hyderabadi Biryani was amazing. But this one lacked cashews and didn’t have any baresta( fried onions) on top. Looks like they are not paying attention to the cooking and perfecting of the recipes. Running brand name is not the only focal point but to maintain it is crucial.
