    Good food, ordered biriyani and fish tandoori kebabs, both were excellent. The only drawback is they are too slow. So if you are going there keep enough time on hand. But the wait indeed is worthwhile.

    If you are a foodie do not miss this place. This is the first Pista House in Hyderabad and later on, there were other outlets. Here you will also find Mandi. If you want a grill then go after 5:30 PM. If you are a meat freak then please have Mutton Marg with one Naan and Zafrani Nalli Biryani. They say this is for two people but three can easily have. The quantity is huge with a mouth watering taste.

    One of the Gem of Hyderabad. Travelled all the way from Jubilee Hills to try the Biryani Here. Reaching here was a night mare wading through the traffic of olf Hyderabad. But the food and experience was all worth it . Ordered their Mutton Nalli Zaffran Biryani and the Mutton Marak which came with a Kalonji super soft butter dipped Naan. Marak was out of the earth, mutton fall of the bone and the naan super fluffy and soft . Licked the bowl clean. Nalli Biryani was served in a Huge Handi. Seeing that we told the waiter we didnt order this . We have just ordered 1 biryani for 2 people. I was shocked when they told me its for 2 people. Quantity was huge . Taste top Notch. They used Lamb shanks , thorougly cooked and fall of the bone meat structure . One of the best decision that I took in Hyderabad. This branch deserves a huge shout out.

    I went there with my friends (around 7 people). We ordered Tandoori platter and 2 chicken biriyani, which was more than enough for all of us. Really impressed with the portion of food, especially that of biriyani. The taste was fantastic as well. The waiters were polite and attentive; served food for each one of us. If you are visiting Charminar and have a good appetite, try this place.

    ** Haleem Only Available during the Month of Ramadan** Suggestion - It would be great if Haleem is available throughout the year. I went there to eat Haleem then I came to know about it Mutton Biryani and Zafrani Chai was Good 👍

    We went for dinner on Sunday with friends and ordered a couple of platters, fish and butter naan. All the items were very delicious 😋 and quantity was also good. We wanted to try out the zafrani biryani also but our tummy didn't allow us. Loved this place and would definitely visit once again along with the family.

    Good food and service. The biriyanis were delicious and the quantity was a lot for the price. Extremely affordable too. Lakshmi was very courteous while serving us the dishes. The man who came to take the order however was pretty rude and seemed disinterested and not at all courteous.

    Went there with friends. We ordered tandoori chicken platter and two chicken biryani. Quantity was more than enough for four of us. All the items were extremely delicious. But extremely disappointed with the service. Even though there was hardly any people when we went there at around 7:30pm, service was extremely slow. And lastly for finger bowl we had to wait for atleast 15mins that too after asking for it multiple times...

    Food was average, Tasteless food. Service was also poor. For one thing you need to call waiter 2 3 times. Complained about food and the staff was like "Zafran Biryani aisahi hota hai". Only the name is big nothing else. Waste of money. Hence given only 1 star.

    Had to try veg food(Veg Biriyani) which was super bad, even the double ka Meetha was bad too but friends of mine ordered chicken Biriyani and it seems that Chicken Biriyani was good. Service was bad, even to get water they take hours.

    This place is always crowded. This is ramzan season so went to have haleem here. And we know this pista house is old one in Hyderabad taste of haleem was great and delicious and worth of the price. Wash rooms were not clean here. They didn't maintain hygiene.

    The ambiance is good. Friendly waiters and welcoming staff. Veg options were also good. But biryani stole the show. Pista house is a name in which you can trust anytime to have a good experience.

    I was expecting a lot more of them.... I am a hard-core fan of biryani and i really wanted to try this one when in Hyderabad... The food tasted good but not wow . ... The amount of regular biryani was sufficient for 2 people wherein they said it's just for one... The quantity is very nice

    The quality of food at pista house never disappointed me and my family. But since the last few months they have reduced the quality of pastries and mithais to 0. The taste is changing and the mithais are developing mould within a days time even upon being refrigerated.

    A bit expensive compared to other top tea’s in Hyderabad. But the combination of tea and Osmania biscuits 🍪 was awesome. The biscuits are very smooth like butter….totally worth for the money i paid…

    Hyderabad tour is incomplete without having Biryani. Pista House is one of renowned restaurant in Hyderabad. Last time we went their Charminar road outlet. We tried their famous mutton jafrani biryani and it tastes delicious. One of their drawback is service time. Overall a good experience we had.

    It is one of the best restaurants in Hydrabad. We had their famous zafrani biryani, which was really good in taste. The quantity and quality were both up to the mark. In dessert, we tried apricot delight, which was again the best in the test. One USP of this restaurant is their humble staff. Here, even after so much crowd, the staff deal with the customers in very polite way.

  • 5/5 Josheel V. 4 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Must try place for sure. Please try Chicken Platter(tandoori). It was very good. Biriyani was good. Biriyani is served in large quantity. So please order one and later you may order as you like. Value for money is guaranteed. You need to try the bakery and sweets that’s in ground floor.

    While visiting Charminar, One must have food in this hotel situated near to it in a walkable distance. They serve excellent mouth watering food here with at most care. Sometimes you have to wait for worthy things 😉.

    Best place I have been to as far as food and ambiance is concerned. Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore all these cities need to compete. Awesome food at unbeatable price.
