Hyderabad Wala - Leicester in Leicester

Very tasty food, we went too late to the restaurant and the service was pretty good and even it was late night the service was done with lot of patience. We also spent time singing songs with the lovely music put on!

Absolutely loved my experience at Hyderabad Wala in Leicester! The biryani was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced — you can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The portion size was generous too, making it great value for money. We also tried the Chicken 65 as a starter, and it was spot on — crispy, tangy, and packed with flavor. The texture was perfect, and the spices were balanced just right. It's clear they know their way around traditional South Indian flavors. Friendly service, clean setting, and mouthwatering food — definitely one of the best spots in Leicester for proper Hyderabadi cuisine. Highly recommend for biryani lovers!

If you're a fan of authentic Hyderabadi flavors, Hyderabad Wala in Leicester is a hidden gem you don't want to miss. I tried their biryani and Chicken 65 starter—and both were absolutely spot on. The biryani was aromatic, perfectly spiced, and had that unmistakable Hyderabadi touch. The rice was fluffy and fragrant, with tender, juicy meat that had clearly been marinated well. It struck the right balance between heat and flavor, making every bite satisfying. The Chicken 65 starter was another highlight—crispy on the outside, juicy inside, with that classic tangy-spicy kick. It was served hot and fresh, with just the right amount of seasoning and a good hit of garlic and curry leaves. The ambiance is casual and comfortable, and the service was quick and friendly. For anyone craving real Hyderabadi food in Leicester, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Very nice authentic dishes and thanks to the restaurant team for serving us even though we came around closing time in a large group. Although we have a strict last minute order times, we have managed to order sufficient food for our group.

Have got order cancelled by them after waiting for 20 minutes, this happened more than once. Once due to vehicle issues if delivery guy and another time due to sudden unavailability of items after accepting the order.

As one navigates through the bustling heart of Leicester, an oasis of Indian culinary tradition awaits at Hyderabadi Wala. Nestled amidst a competitive biryani landscape, this restaurant has carved a niche, with its rivalry with Biryani Wala being the talk of the town, a testament to its authentic Hyderabadi offerings . The decor is a visual enthrallment, with a blend of modern and traditional aesthetics reminiscent of the grand Mughal era, which is elevated by the unique tableware. The courteous staff, embodying the epitome of Indian hospitality, further enriches the dining experience. The gastronomic adventure begins with the Chicken Peri Peri Wings, a tantalizing prelude to the authentic flavors awaiting. The Prawns Biryani and Bagara Rice, accompanied by Paneer Tikka Masala, are a tribute to the rich culinary heritage of Hyderabad. Every dish, meticulously crafted, is a melody of flavors that dance gracefully on the palate. A notable highlight is the Special Platter offered, encompassing a variety of meats like Chicken 65, Grilled Chicken, Lamb Chops, and more, a testament to the restaurant’s versatility in offering both traditional and contemporary Indian delicacies . However, not all tales are without a cloud. A review on Trustpilot voiced discontent with the pricing of the Jumbo size chicken biryani, which might suggest a scrutiny of value offered . Yet, with a competitive spirit, Hyderabadi Wala is not just a restaurant; it’s a voyage back to the imperial culinary era of India, with each dish narrating a tale of tradition, flavor, and authenticity. Amidst the biryani rivalry in Leicester, Hyderabadi Wala stands as a regal contender, promising a rich and hearty meal that is both a feast for the eyes and the palate. In summary, Hyderabadi Wala in Leicester is more than just a meal out; it’s an experience that pays homage to India’s rich culinary history while providing a cozy ambiance, friendly service, and a menu that tantalizes the taste buds.

Excellent chicken starters and dum biriyani was very tasty and Shubham’s service was great . good choice of indian snacks and Biriyani options , would recommend for some spicy Biriyani dishes

Amazing and very yummy food. Definitely recommend it

The food and service is fantastic. The biriani in particular is excellent. The pieces of meat and chicken are incredibly succulent and tender. Full of flavour and not dry at all. Will eat here again.

Very good atmosphere and friendly services.

I came to have Hyderabadi biryani but it was beyond my expectations I really loved the biryani with perfection of chicken 65 starter and thumps perfect combination Everything was up to mark taste , service, ambiance ❤️ I will come here again

The food was very authentic and really felt like I am in india due to songs service and specially by food I would recommend to come here and enjoy the meal 💖

Best Haleem ever had in the UK. Tastes exactly Pista House Haleem (Hyderabad). Lam biryani is very good as well. Very good service.

The food was absolutely disgusting—far too spicy and hot, making it completely unsuitable for most people. It upset my stomach and completely ruined my day. Extremely disappointed, spend 30 min for parking car. No parking available for miles.

The food was amazing!! My family loved it, the haryali fish was soo good nicely flavoured crunchy, mixed briyani was really good too, the meat was flavourful and tender. I would definitely come here again when coming leicester. Also, the service was 10/10 the women and man serving were very helpful and kind.

Find a very good authentic food. Had fry piece chicken biryani, schezwan fried riceand dum biryani taste was too good.

The food was delicious i am vegetarian i had good option with proper taste like india Service was very friendly Gonna come with my family and friends

Hopeless food won't recommend to eat here at all. Probably one of the worse experiences

Never gonna dine in again worst experience. Guys please it’s my request you to not to go this place. Frozen breads and curry’s and starter are same. Go if you wanna waste your money

Tasty biryani.True to their name.

Great Biryani house in Leicester!! Its been a while and a massive improvement in food and service, Shubam had gave great service and complimentary Tea on the house for myself and my family members was much appreciated. See you again!

I recently visited this traditional Indian restaurant and was genuinely impressed! The highlight of the meal was definitely the biryani — perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and wonderfully spicy just the way I like it. It had that authentic touch that makes you feel like you’re eating a home-cooked Indian meal. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for both families and friends to enjoy a nice meal together. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready with a smile and helpful suggestions. Highly recommended for anyone who loves traditional Indian food — especially biryani lovers! I’ll definitely be coming back.

I tried the chicken and lamb Biriyanis and they were delicious. Highly recommended

By far the best biryani I have ever had! Highly recommend.

On our first Leister visit we craved some Indian food, and came here. Had some kadhai chicken and naan, that filled us up. It was delicious and fast. My wife was not in favour of Gulab Jamun, the kid likes it though. Parking in this area is a challenge.

Excellent assistance. Biryani is very good and tasty very spicy, delicious😍😍

Initially, i wanna say the food was amazing and the one who girl very aid for choose the food and she gave me amazing customer service. You must go and try this one. thank you

Mothers day Dinner. Fantastic food Fantastic service Absolute Quality. I've been here twice & now this is my favourite. AMAZING!!

Superb place on the Golden Mile. Can't wait to return. Great service. Food delicious.

The worst part is that they dont consider cats inside, they wont offer you food if you have a cat with you, i mean how can one left cat home alone if they are coming from long way back . Worst experience

Worst food I have ever ate in my life. Don’t go there. Chicken dumplings biryani was like just yellow rice. Service was also bad. Avoid at all cost!

We came from Nottingham with some recommendations as we don’t have proper Indian restaurant in Nottingham.Happy to say we had tasteful biriyani from this restaurant. We highly recommend mango lassi with super taste. And also lovely service. We hope to visit again.

Must try the special chicken biryani!

The mirch marg masala was amazing!! Good service and a great vibe!! Highly recommended✨

Lovely restaurant, lovely food and service. Great haleem and Rogan Josh especially

Had spicy chicken Wings , and lamb biryani, both were delicious. The manager even gave me a free bowl of haleem, which was amazing. Can’t wait to go back for great authentic Indian food. Thanks a million. 🌶️🌶️

No taste, we are so felt very bad . The biryani is not cooked correctly and taste less

Worst biryani too spicy . And uncooked spices. Literally its far away from hydrabadi biryani. 😔

Waste of space I order lamb and they sent me Chicken Biryani worst experience ever .and sent after 2 hours that's the worst experience of my uber experience.

Amazing food Great service! Thank you to Shubhum for the amazing service and taking care of us during our time here. I highly recommend the lamb biryani, the Harlem and mango lassi! Thank you again!

I had chicken Dum Biriyani and it was really delicious and happy with the quantity as well.

Food is extremely good, reminds hyd taste. Reasonable price, good quantity. Only issue I felt not good is that there are 2 small bottled water already put on every table. We assumed that's it complimentary but they charge 2 pounds for 2 very small bottles. Felt tricked! We could have ordered tap water for free if we knew water bottles not free( we didn't ask for water bottles and they didn't tell us its not free). I think management should tell every customer that water bottles kept on tables are not free or don't put bottles at all , let customer order water bottles or tap water

We had the biryani and chicken curry on the bone it was fabulous In the biryani I got the perfect taste as in I felt like I am in India Hyderabad Will visit soon

Great food and amazing service by shubham! Was very pleasant and helped us order the perfect dinner !

The best biryani i have ever taste in the entire uk since I came here I would recommend everyone please go and have the best food ! 👍🏽👌🏽

The food was really good. We had dum biryani and it was full of flavour. Must try

Everything was just amazing , Shubham was welcoming, very helpful nature and the chef did the wonders with the flavours.

The food was soo good and quantity is also very good ✨I really enjoy the food and service … the guy name Subham was very helpful and kind to each and everyone over there … Must visit place

Staff very hospitable. Helped with making the chicken less spicy for my children which was very helpful.

We weren't sure if we would get the Hyderabadi flavour in Leicester:-), but this place managed it, so we will visit again the next time we are in Leicester.... just that the chicken dum biryani's spice level hit the stratosphere, even for us!!

I had really amazing experience in this restaurant. Please try their Haleem, seriously amazing!

Man, one of the best Indian restaurants in Leicester. We, after reading all the reviews, without any expectations, went to this restaurant to give it a try. We have ordered several items which costed us 80 £ for 4 of us and surprisingly all the items were too good. The spice level is maintained very well and if you love Irani chai, this is the place for you. Food we loved the most are chicken wings, chicken 65, special chicken biryani, Irani chai, puneer butter masala and mango Lassi. Will visit again.

Amazing food and service …… will definitely come back.

The food was amazing and the service was great! Will definitely come back

Famous for Biryani I spent almost £60.00 and didn’t enjoy at all, Rice was raw and dry dum biryani there was no smell of charcoal or it been dum, Naan was raw. I did point out to the worker who didn’t had any answer and complaint didn’t got heard.

I’m not sure if this is an error or how the recipe is supposed to be but the lamb biryani had an overpowering cardamom flavour to it. To the point where it was almost unenjoyable. Unless you really like a super strong cardamom flavour and nothing by else then I guess it’s alright.

The food was awesome! It had that real Hyderabad vibe.

Very good portion sizes. Tasty biriyani

It was an amazing experience. Very tasty food.

One of the worst biryanis I have had! Extremely spicy. No other flavour but only cinnamon & chilli flavour. I bought the jumbo biryani for £19.99. But when chicken isn’t marinated with good spices it’s pointless having the biryani. There was no flavour to the chicken only chillies and cinnamon. Never buying from here again

Good place to have some nice hyderabadi biryani

I tried chicken dum biriyani the worst biriyani I ever had in my life rice was not properly cooked

Full of flavour, amazing food 🤤🤩

Yesterday I visited the restaurant and ordered Chicken Dum Biryani and Chicken 65. Both dishes were with good flavors and perfect cooking. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They served the food quickly and made sure everything was fine. They were polite and always ready to help. Their good service made the dining experience even better. I had a great time and will visit again!

Great food We had chicken 65, chicken lollipop, butter chicken, Hakka prawn fried rice and chilli paneer The food was all very nice and good potion sizes Staff was great Thanks so much

I had an amazing experience at this place! ⭐️ The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish being flavorful and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was cozy and well-maintained, creating a welcoming environment. 👌 The staff were incredibly friendly, making sure we felt taken care of throughout our visit. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great food and a fantastic dining experience. I will definitely be coming back!

Awesome lamb dum biryani, perfect India taste. Couldn’t ask for more authentic Indian Biryani Worth trying it. Totally loved it. Hope the chef doesn’t change his recipe. Thank you

Shubham you did amazing thank you very much. And thank you for ur noodles

The mother had been recommended this place by her friend and as it was her birthday, we dined here. It was quiet and there wasn't much available to order because the restaurant kitchen were fulfilling a catering order, as explained by a friendly staff member there, Heshani. It was fine for us anyway, the food was good. We would consider returning the next time we are out again.

Haleem was absolute 10 on 10, Great menu, great food overall

Crazy experience food was not Hyderabadi , just named as hyderabadi

Food was amazing highly recommended

Heshani was amazing and her customer service was second to none. The soup was beautiful. Perfect on a cold wintery day. The masala tea is to die for. You may want to order 2 cups.

Good food and good customer service

Food is good and close to our expectations, quantity is great for the price which is a bonus.

Authentic Hyderabadi Biryani, stratets are very good. Staff is very friendly and food is on time.
