  • 1/5 Pratibha M. 2 years ago on Google
    The management here is the worst and the staff is highly unco-operative. The manager is so full of himself. Having a team of about 7-8 members he doesn’t allow the customers to sit out in open in the day, because it becomes a lot of work to serve outside. He said it will open at 7, and when we went at 7 he still denied us to sit out side in the lovely weather and month of December. Very rude behaviour and the food is highly oily and the management doesn’t take our choices seriously. When told please do it less oil they didn’t care at all. Not at all recommended. Should be avoided at all and every cost. Not worth your time and money.

    Inside and outside ambience, both are good. Dinner is the best time to visit this place. We had lake side moon light dinner. Lollipops are tasty and good. Bit expensive but worth for place. Weekends but busy place. You will have to wait for service. Overall good experience place.

    Fantastic location. You can come here for dinner. The view of Hussain Sagar lake will help you to calm and enjoy. Service is fast and good. Food is 3.5.

    Great place to dine in. The food was exceptional and service was fast. We went with vegetarian friends so ordered everything veg. The views from their external deck are breathtaking. Would recommend.

  • 1/5 Sourabh G. 2 years ago on Google
    Poor food. Horrible service. Not recommended at all. The waiters are slow and really rude. The waiter who served us was super rude and unhelpful. We ordered a bunch of food which was barely edible. The food took a very long time to arrive too. I'm sure that I'm never going back here and I suggest others to avoid this place too. I'd rather visit a decent cafe elsewhere. Why go to a place where you are treated poorly and where the waiters are rude though you are polite to them? Highly disappointed. Update: My stomach is upset.

    Good service and nice hospitality, there's availablity of liquor as well, considering the place and keeping in mind the ambience of it, prices are bit on the other side, apart from that, it's a good place. Food can be improved. There's both veg and non veg, there's availablity of sitting outdoor as well, overall a decent restaurant, perfect for a date night.

    Service is slow and pathetic. I have ordered veg Biryani and specifically mentioned all items should be veg. They have served me chicken biryani and when asked manager said there was confusion with tables. We were the only table with 9 people the entire afternoon and there is very less scope of confusion. Employees are very neglectful of the customers and do not care about the opinions, orders.

    Average food, mostly everything they cook is out of readymade mix. Tastes ok. Beautiful ambience, no worry of mosquitoes and no worry of stench of water.

    During my recent visit to Hyderabad, I had the pleasure of dining at The Water Front Restaurant, and it proved to be a truly delightful experience. Situated alongside a picturesque lake, this restaurant offers a unique combination of scenic beauty and delectable cuisine. The location of The Water Front is undeniably its biggest draw. Nestled amidst lush greenery and overlooking the serene lake, the restaurant provides a tranquil and relaxing ambiance. The outdoor seating area offers breathtaking views, especially during sunset when the sky transforms into a vibrant canvas of colors. It is the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a peaceful gathering with friends and family. The menu at The Water Front offers a diverse range of culinary delights, with options to suit different tastes and preferences. The restaurant specializes in a variety of cuisines, including Indian, Chinese, and Continental, ensuring there's something for everyone. Whether you're craving flavorful Indian curries, sizzling Chinese stir-fries, or mouthwatering Continental dishes, the chefs at The Water Front strive to deliver a memorable dining experience. The quality of the food served at the restaurant is commendable. The dishes are prepared using fresh ingredients, and the flavors are well-balanced and authentic. I particularly enjoyed their seafood offerings, which were cooked to perfection, showcasing the natural flavors of the ingredients. The attentive and courteous staff added to the overall dining experience, providing excellent service throughout my visit. The Water Front also offers a well-stocked bar with a wide selection of beverages, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. From signature cocktails to refreshing mocktails, there's a drink to complement every meal. The bar staff is knowledgeable and can assist in recommending the perfect beverage to accompany your chosen dish. While the ambiance, food, and service at The Water Front are undoubtedly impressive, it is worth mentioning that the restaurant can get quite crowded, especially during peak hours or weekends. Making a reservation in advance is highly recommended to secure a table and ensure a seamless dining experience. In conclusion, The Water Front Restaurant in Hyderabad offers a scenic and gastronomic retreat for food enthusiasts. Its stunning lakeside location, diverse menu, and attentive service make it an ideal destination for special occasions, romantic dinners, or simply a memorable dining experience. If you appreciate a beautiful setting, delicious food, and warm hospitality, The Water Front is a place you should definitely visit.

  • 4/5 Naveen R. 7 months ago on Google • 135 reviews
    I had the pleasure of dining at The Water Front, and while the culinary journey was satisfying, a few aspects stood out. The flavors of the food were undeniably good, although I must admit that the level of spiciness caught me slightly off guard. The diverse range of dishes offered something for every palate, and the chef's creativity was evident in each plate. The restaurant's ambiance played a crucial role in shaping the experience. The decor exuded a soothing and inviting vibe, creating a comfortable space to enjoy the meal. However, it's worth mentioning that the serene atmosphere was occasionally disrupted by the presence of mosquitoes, which was a minor downside. The highlight of the dining experience, undoubtedly, was the breathtaking view of Hussain Sagar. The shimmering waters combined with the distant cityscape created a picturesque setting that enhanced the overall enjoyment of the meal. The calming effect of the lake's beauty was a welcome contrast to the bustling city life beyond. In summary, my visit to The Water Front was a mixed bag. The flavorful food, although spicier than anticipated, was a delightful culinary exploration. The well-crafted ambiance was marred slightly by the presence of mosquitoes. However, the enchanting view of Hussain Sagar provided a sense of tranquility that elevated the overall experience. With some minor improvements, this restaurant could truly become a hidden gem for those seeking a memorable dining escapade.

    The ambience was amazing. 4 stars goes just for the ambience. Love that it's a fine dining restaurant. Food is okay. Service is okay and music is bad. You get to hear 80s hindi music. I had to wear head phones just to avoid the oldie music.

    A best place to hangout with family and friends. There is good food available with good options too. Place is well maintained during Covid times. The view of tank bund is simply superb. You can have the best speed boat experience from this spot. Love Hyderabad logo is the closest to this. **Note: The parking for this place towards left side on the opposite road.

    A good place for a diner with family or friends.. nice ambience inside. Sitting outside gives a good view of the lake. Staff is prompt in their services but the food is not upto the mark. The taste of the food was not good and the quality was bad; I had so many boiled lumps of noodles and literally I had to separate that while eating.

  • 2/5 dilip k. 1 year ago on Google
    Food : below average. Menu is very limited and for kids below 5 they don't have proper items. So if you have kids below 5 carry food for them. Also it is pricy for the quantity n quality. Ordered veg platter took ages to come but when it did come it was very less in quantity and the price was 980 for it. Ambience : really good. The view of the lake at night is stunning. Sitting outside would be even better but weather was too humid so we did not.Tables are very small, we were seated in a 4 seater table but still looked small and when all the food was placed it was congested and there was no free movement of food. Staff : behaviours very rude. We sat for almost 30 mins then someone attended. Even the managers would need training on how to attend. They don't even bother to stop for a sec and talk to you. Simply walks away saying someone will attend to you. They forget to serve what we have ordered. And some drinks were replaced with others. The waiter even spilled food over me when serving. Apart from ambience nothing else was good. I read through other reviews, most of them had reported rude staff, pricy food, below average food which are all true, but I still decided to visit just for the ambience. To summarise. Food : 2 Ambience : 5 Service : -1 It's just a one time visit restaurant just for the ambience. Am surprised to see 4 rating in Google. TRAIN YOUR WAITERS AND MANAGERS. THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO RUN THE RESTAURANT AND EVEN DONT KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE. THEY BEHAVE AS IF THEY OWN THE RESTAURANT. EVERYONE BEHAVES THE SAME WAY.

    (a) Location : Located at about half an hour’s drive from my location,I enjoyed my visit. Parked my two wheeler near tank bund. Highly adviseable to arrive at this destination in a two wheeler rather than a four wheeler. (b) Highlights : Enjoyed and cherished the brightly lit up Hussain Sagar Lake with the India flag in the background and ferries running in the dark night. Overall felt very calm,soothing,I feel a visit to Secunderabad is incomplete without a visit to the Hussain Sagar Lake. (C) Drawbacks: (i) Citizens must avoid throwing garbage into the lake. (b) It has become polluted with a strange pungent smell due to the impact of the Global Warming and rapid industrialisation.

    This place is for evening lover who want to enjoy their evening time with low light seeing the lake .. good place is good .. the quality of the food is very good.. service team is well trained and the atmosphere is good with mosquitos and you may have to face the drainage smell if you sitting outside.. rest is good

  • 3/5 Satish D. 1 year ago on Google
    Water Front.. Have heard a lot about but very disappointed with the service and food. Place is movie and picture perfect, however the service and food needs a huge improvement. The steward and not courteous at all, it felt to rush out as the attitude was very lethargic and unfriendly. Chicken lollypop and fish was uncooked and had a smell. Rushed to another place after having appetizers as the palate and appetite died. Hope to see you guys work on the feedback and improve.

  • 1/5 Sweta Mukherjee C. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is very average. Location is good just like any lake side restaurant The rating is due to the worst behaviour of the staff. We didn't like the menu hence just out of courtesy ordered something very basic. The wait staff (he said he was the supervisor) literally came to our table and told us we need to make a minimum bill of 500 rupees. His attitude was too bad right from the beginning when we ordered for a soup bowl. Even for the water we had to follow up with the staff. I brought it to the notice of the manager, asking him that where exactly is it written that there's a minimum amount of bill to be made as the rule and guess what he was tongue tied as well. I asked him whether he would rather prefer us walking into the eatery, hating the menu and walking out, instead of ordering something basic as a polite gesture towards the people serving! Apparently our courtesy cost us our own self respect! He just apologized lightly and nothing more. It was a pretty pathetic experience.

    Food wasn't bad. Being a vegetarian and a senior citizen found the spices just right. Ambience ok. Poor lighting at dinner meant squinting at the menu through my spectacles. Prices reasonable. Some items weren't on the menu. Pandemic to blame? But then, the menu ought to have been updated.

    Great ambiance.... peaceful Food not that great, not worth spending. Chapathi's are very expensive...which we can get at 70% less price in another place. Just for ambiance...it's one time go place.

  • 3/5 Vinay M. 2 years ago on Google
    Ambiance is great if you are sitting inside the restaurant, However if you want to have your meal next to the bay in open to sky area, that would not be a great idea. It stinks alot Food is good, they do not have many options and limited to few dishes what they have got in their house.

  • 5/5 Anand 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place to spend the evening with family. Great ambience, very courteous staff, quick serving neat and clean and above all nice tasty food. This place is so well maintained, you will start recommending immediately to all your near and dear. Also the night lights of the Tank bund, the boat rides and the soothing music will make your heart feel good. I am sure I will come here again very soon.

  • 4/5 Sai Manasa A. 2 years ago on Google
    Ambience : 4/5 This place has got a great view of Hussain Sagar Lake. It has both outdoor and indoor seating. Ambience is decent. The food is good but the prices are little high. ✨Valet parking is available. Tried Crispy Chilli BabyCorn(Taste - 4/5)

  • 3/5 Avinash D. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited this place today with my family. I booked table in morning, but to my surprise when I was there, the person said there is no booking by the name. Ambience should be little bit improved by adding some lights. Food quality is good and tasty. Service is very poor. Waiters were in hurry while serving food. Dropped food and drinks while serving.

  • 4/5 A G. 1 year ago on Google
    Food we ordered is mixed fried rice, lollipops chicken and fried ice cream. Didn't liked fried ice cream it's not good, It's like ice cube, took so much time to melt. Service is good but too much delay. Had fish tikka which was good. Good for kids can enjoy food with them. Not too spicy.

  • 4/5 Sree L. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to hangout with friends and family. It has got a very nice view of Hussain sugar lake. Out door dining also available which is best for dinner. Definitely recommend this place eventhough it is little costly.

  • 4/5 Yarram Pavani R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a decent one Ambience is something which has to be appreciated.. Lake view and that peace that you get inside is nice.. Staff are humble Service is quick.. Food is of avg taste We ordered Pan fried noodles-that was the worst of all and would not like to rate it. Chicken majestic,Chilli potato,crispy corn were tasty.. Chicken 65 biryani was ok(3.5/5) Keema biryani was actually good(4/5) Last was the dessert Brownie with icecream-brownie was hard. I recommend not to try it there.. Cost is on the higher end.. The place is huge,and good for a big gang and can spend a great time.. Can visit only for the ambience.

  • 1/5 prasad g. 1 year ago on Google
    The management here is the worst and the staff is highly unco-operative. The manager is so full of himself. the food is highly oily and taste less When told please do it less oil they didn’t care at all. Not at all recommended. Should be avoided at all and every cost. Sand in the mutton kheema biryani . there is no kheema only rice,they will not serve proper normal water,they will not keep onion on table ,not worth your time and money.
