Hyderabadi Spice in City of London, Westminster

Last time really upset after a long travel, this time also we never thought of going same hotel again but one of our friend placed the order, to be honest we ordered chicken lollipop, chicken 65, mutton kadai, mutton biryani and family butter naan all are good and hot taste also good nothing to complaint...

We ordered mutton biryani, grill chicken, chicken biryani, butter naan and gravy,, not happy with foods especially grill chicken was not hot it was cold, services also not good they behave rudely not recommend for food.

1 staff to handle the entire restaurant food quality average. not authentic in flavour full of ghee kulfi really sweet but lacks flavour

Worst service. Staff are rude. I did not had cash and want to pay by card. The staff want to charge me £1, I explain him i always pay by card and always come once in a week. They don't care for there loyal customer. Worst customer service. Will never go to this restaurant. If you want better food and service go to green street hyderabadi Darber.

Enjoyed the flavours in the biriyani and curries. However, the quality (mainly bones and fat) and quantity (particularly in the biryani) of lamb/chicken was disappointing. Service OK.

Excellent Hyderabadi foods available till 10:30. Service also excellent. Small place with neat ambiance.

We ordered chicken biryani and chilli chicken 65 and lamb biryani the biryani taste was yummy chicken also good worth spent money

Abrupt service, but if efficiency is what you're after, this is the place for you. the curries are ok, but the naan was disappointing. a bit of crispy pitta bread is NOT naan... My lamb curry only had 3 pieces of lamb. overly seasoned - far too salty. small portions, clinical restaurant. could also be cleaner. had a sticky table...

I orderd the lamb biryni the rice was bland and oily ;the lamb was tough and chewy not worth the money wouldn't recommend sone if the worst indian food I've had .the food came out fairly quick which was good but most likely a sign of premade food .

I would say they do best biryani around east London wherever I have eaten and even other dishes are quite good as well but not all of them. I am giving 3 stars just for the biryani but the staff and their service is pathetic. They don't even have a clue about customer service. It's like the management just picked somebody who every cost him less money and don't have any education or any kind of skills even the guy standing behind the till. We always go their for biryani and I think that's their backbone. If the biryani's standard goes down, I bet you that the place would be for sale within few months. So my advice is give the staff some sort of training and make sure they don't smell horrible when at work as it is against food and hygiene.

I have been visited this place many a times but this time was a take away. Ordered chinese but the short man with beard on the counter looks like he is from Bangladesh doesn't know how to speak to customers. The management needs to focus more on customer friendly staff as I love the food here but I met this man for the second time, he is not well mannered as we pay for what we order and not there to take peoples bad attitude. The menu is also having discrepancy in price what they charge and whats there on it, so they have to change it. As I was charge more then what was there on the menu. I will definately visit once more time and this time if I see the same guy will figure out how well he behaves or else it will be my last time.

To whomever applicable. Please do not go to this dirty restaurant, I ordered chicken 65, they gave frozen one and smells rotten. Biriyani is not authentic, service is very rude. Never go there.

I have eaten few time in Hydrabadi Spice and couple of time large party take away. Love the Biryani, over all Chef have great control over spices.

If you have good taste for biryani, this is the place. We been there few times and enjoyed having biryani almost every time. The do have very good chicken 🍗 tandoori. Very limited tables, do get busy during weekends. Do book a table. No restaurant parking, no 🍷 alcohol. Good family environment with Bollywood music. Friendly staff except of one tall guy. I think he keep himself high to work and didn’t understand anything. So my advice is always go for short one. They do accept cards not sure about credit cards 💳.

Nijami chops (lamb chops), special dum biriyani are must have along with other items. Will go back for sure....

Haleem está preparado durante el mes de Ramadán. Específicamente planeado nuestra cena en Hyderabadi Spice tener Haleem y Hyderabadi Biryani.

We have been to this place quite a few times and never left hungry or disappointed! The food is great and the staff are very friendly...

One of the few restaurant in London where you can enjoy Hyderabad Cuisine. Biryani's are must have, and also Nizami Ghost and Hallem.

Después de leer sus comentarios viajé a una hora y media da a este lugar a mi disgusto. Biryani estaba bien nada para morirse, parrillada mixta como entrante era asqueroso. Chuletas eran medio pollo sin cocer cubierto de pudín todavía estaba rosa. Aunque la comida no estaba aún listo me decidí a llevar para el fin de semana. A mi peor pesadilla había casi cualquier carne en el pollo al curry 4 trozos pequeños y el mutton curry sólo 4 ME incluye un hueso. Después de £74.00, estaba horrorizado. Creo que sólo el perezoso y madres mujer casa tome allí familias ya que no tienen idea de lo que es la buena comida india.

Si estás buscando que India auténtica comida... entonces este es el mejor lugar! personal están bien. amable y servicial. Deliciosa cocina... Prueba su pollo piruleta... Sin duda lo recomiendo y visitar de nuevo!

No manners... Get the arrogant person out.. Was told to leave after finishing meal even though they had other tables empty without any reason. Hope the management takes notice.

very tasty food, looked very authentic i ordered chicken lolypop for starter and biriyani for main and it was very yum. I have been to india couple of years ago and it reminds me of typical indian restaurant

Made a wrong decision going to this place, was actually planned to go to our regular GULLY restaurant which is beside, some idiot said they serve the best biryani in Eastham We ordered starters, was ok. Main course BIRYANI ..... Was looking great from our table, but what we got was like khichidi with chicken.Fulltu disappointed On the top very expensive compare to any other restaurant in an around Not happy Waste of money

Best haleem in London. Love it. Biryani is good but I only go for haleem really :). Definitely recommend.

Really pleased to find this place to have a catch up with an colleague.We arrived around 14:30 and it was almost full - a good sign !We each ordered the Nizami chops and shared aloo methi, tadka dal and naans.It was delicious !Yes this place is quiet small, a tad cramped and I would not go in a group larger than 4; but I will return.Note : It doesn't have an alcohol licence and had a sign saying drinks from outside aren't permitted. I'd check in advance with the restaurant to avoid dissappointment.

This place is fairly busy in the the evenings and very busy on weekends. The good is close to authentic and the menu is well priced. The portion are good size unlike some reviewer said they are small. I have been regular to this place for last 2 or 3 years. I have had many takeaways over this period and never found any snail or insect in my good ( like one of the reviewer mentioned ). The staff is friendly and get along quite well. All in all a good place to enjoy a decent meal.

i really enjoy food here,this visit the restaurant was crowded and because it is a little place there is no chance for privacy,also i feel the waiting staff should practice basic hygeine.they clean tables and carry food without cleaning hands between the jobs. This time the lamb biryani was a bit bland and was very small portion compared to the usual

I ordered Large Chicken Biryani with Haleem today evening at 7:49 as take away.chicken Briyani looked delicious, but when served with friends we found a snail. This spoiled our dinner mood. Could bother to even taste that Biryani box Attached are images

Firstly, there is hardly any parking nearby, it took me 15 mins to find a space,after 1830 its free. the high st is way too busy.it was reasonably busy when we went, we were seated and our order taken quite quickly. reasonable space and clean. staff were friendly and polite, lovely urdu, mainly Indian clientele.this was the first time we had been to this restaurant. we ordered a mixed grill - various chicken grills, chops, fish and sheekh kebab with roti and an egg fried rice. i had to pay for the yogurt- which was surprising. the food took about 40 mins to arrive, about 20 mins too late. the grill was tasty, however quite expensive (£16), the rotis and rice were lovely. we tried the 'chambali ka meeta (sweetened apricots in cream) it should have been with custard - still tasty.this place was recommended by a few colleagues, however for the biryani, which is meant to be awesome. i will try that next time, and not the mixed grill. others around us were eating biryani, and it did look tempting.

Awesome flavours and the food is far from the usual Indian curries served everywhere else. I am drooling just thinking of the Hyderabadi biryani served. Loved it.

I piatti sono eccessivamente forti, almeno per me (sebbene mi piacciano molto le spezie). Il locale è piccolo. Prezzi molto contenuti.

The starters and main course are all really good. The service is pretty poor, The restaurant is very cramped, and the toilet is the smallest you would have ever seen.If its just tasty food you need, then visit.

Perfectly made Biryani and massive portions. I always go for the chicken biryani. Nice succulent pieces and the rice is always cooked to perfection with the right amount of spices. The food has been consistent and I used to pack food from here atleast once a month. I am not a big fan of East ham but I didnt mind taking the tube all the way from Central London as the briyani will get you craving all the time. The first few times i always went back to the tried and tested dishes as I did not want to experiment and get disappointed later. But a friend of mine got me hooked on to the Haleem and to be honest i liked it better when compared to the Haleem I've tried in Hyderabad. It was pure magic on a plate and truly delicious. I like my haleem with extra zing and always ask the waiter to pack my food with extra onions and sliced lime wedges. The waiters are really friendly but I always prefer to pack my food as the restaurant is not very clean and it get really noisy during weekends. If you miss biryani from back home, give this place a shot and you will not be disappointed.

A colleague of mine recommended the place... So on my 9th wedding anniversary when I decided to eat out with wifey, I thought let's give it a try... On a dull gloomy day, we thought since it was 6 in the evening, we thought it would be packed as it's a Friday, but when we entered, there was not a single table occupied!! Somehow what came to kind was maybe the hype wasn't so true, but since it'd be even more boring walking out looking for another place in such boring weather, so we decided to stay, and am I glad we did!! The starter chicken manchurian and rotis were something that you can relish in the indo-Chinese restaurants of Bombay and the biryani thereafter too did not disappoint at all... The sweetest element was the dessert "Khubani ka meetha" that was amazing with the chilled cream dressing on apricot fruits garnished with dry fruits!! (Only for those with a Bengali kinda sweet tooth, although I'm not one, I still relished it)... I will definitely love to go back and try more dishes to give this one a five-star rating... But I'm sure I will!!

When ever I go to London I definitely go to Hyderbadi spice for its tasty Hyderbadi Biryani and Chicken 65.

Chicken 65, Lamb curry and Fried rice were very good with good portions. I saw a few people having Biryani and it looked very appeasing.

We go there quiet often,apart from the table setup and crockery,the food has been good,always enjoyed eating the biryanis .For startes we had the half tandoori chicken and pudina panner sizzler which were fingerlickingly delicious,although the mint chutney didnt deliver have the omth .We had the special lamb biryani which was a very large portion for two,but served on a plate which was too small.which was a shame as the briyani was dropping onto the table .we did enjoy our meal

Could not choose between a lamb and a curry dish. took the waiter's recommendation. SuperbWill go again if ever in the area

I went there for the first time last week after restaurants generally in East Ham were recommended. It was busy but we didn't have to queue unlike some of its larger rivals nearby. The menu is large enough but I didn't see anything particularly exciting. We took the waiter's advice and the fried cauliflower starter was very good. Our two meat dishes were average possibly because this is primarily an area for vegetarian food. The portions were quite big so we felt as if we had had a full meal.Staff were reasonably attentive but not specially so.Difficult to say it was a bad meal but more that it was not memorable and it's very unlikely we would return. The restaurant itself is quite small and drab which sums it all up. However, it's quite clear their food is popular in the locality because they were very busy with takeaways.

Its Not what what used to be anymore. The taste is completely gone and no way its tasting like hyderabad biryani. Not going there again.

I read several reviews before I bought the chicken Biriyani. I am sorry to say that it was not all tasty. May be the day when I bought the biriyani, the main chef had changed or was on leave and hence the taste was awful. If it is not due to any other reason and it is the same taste even other people have tasted before then my friends please visit India and taste in Nagarjuna restaurant in MG road in B'lore or any Andhra Restaurants in B'lore you will know the difference. My friend (Indi) cooks better Biriyani than this.I am sorry I will not recommend this restaurant and I declare I do not have any personal interest with Hyderabadi Spice or any other restaurants.

We had diner here twice with our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. Paid less than 35 pounds for a real indian diner, which was really nice. We recommend the mixed grill and the Murgh Makhani chicken. The atmosphere is not really special, but the food is great!

I have ordered only the lamb chops from here. It was a take away. By the time the food reached home it was still warm. Taste was okay. Not sure if I had the chops then and there it self the taste could have been bit better. Anyway, I might visit here again as I saw their Biriyani portions looked good (When i saw some customers having).

This is one of the finest Indian restaurants in London. Although the seating capacity is very limited, once you get a table, good time begins. We had been to this restaurants several times, forgot the count by now and never been disappointed. Chicken Biryani is the best dish among other dishes, however, it does not matter what you order, the food is great and very tasty, very much authentic.Staff is really good and friendly, I would recommend this one, however if you are going on a weekend, you may have to wait as it is a small restaurant.

We come here regularly and never have been disappointed with the food taste or quality. It's like home food specially since an aunt if mine is from Hyderabad originally n cooks lovely food, back in Bombay, India though.

Excellent food & fantastic atmosphere,,,place to dine,quick service as it is a busy place,,thats good,

Myself and a group of friends were driving back from a football match at Brentford, and we used the i phone to locate a local restaurant. Having no idea of what it would be like, we followed the route to the Hyderabad Spices in Hounslow. Looking in, on a dark cold night, it was certainly not plush, and in truth, if I may say this, we were a little disconcerted that we were the only European faces anywhere to be seen, but taking that as a positive sign about the food we went in. It was terrific. The food was what I imagine to be very close to authentic cuisine, and the service was first class. We were made very welcome by both the staff and local customers, and I just loved watching the Indian TV channel on the wall. I wondered if our football shirts would 'put off' the locals, but seemingly not. No tea, coffee or alcohol available, but soft drinks were just fine. A great meal and a brilliant experience. Just loved it.

Authentic Hyderabadi dishes , especially the biriyanis . The place is quite cramped and shabby looking . I found the waiters quite rude . Good value for money . It's a must if you are into spicy indian food .

Atmosphere is a little run down but the fantastic food and value more than makes up for it. Really enjoyed eating here, had the mixed platter, Chicken Karahi, a chinese dish and fried rice. The nans were delicious, light and fluffy. The mixed platter had a variety of 4-5 different types of things, very good

This place is one of our regular restaurants The positives first..We have been to quite a few Indian places from economy to posh fine dining in, around and outside London, but i must say that Hyderabadi Biryani at Hyderabad Spice is the best biryani we've had to date. For a connoisseur of Biryani HydSpice is a must visit. Apart from their Biryani we also like their starters and other mains especially the Indo-Chinese Chilly paneer, and the Shabnami Kofte.The not so positives..They don't seem to have a liquor licence; if you ask for a soft drink they will bring a can and a glass to you and expect you to pour it out yourselfThe post dinner coffee is not a fresh brew or filter; but plain old Nescafe.The NegativesThe Place is pretty cramped, and when full service can be really slow.Because of the popularity they run out of Lamb biryani pretty early in the night quickly followed by chicken biryani.They can get your takeaway order wrong. I remember they once packed veg biryanis instead of Lamb & I was really annoyed to find that after a 9 mile round trip. To make matters worse they ran out of both Lamb & chicken biryanis by the time I found out and called them; which left me stranded with veg biryani's and no meat or sides. The Manager blamed it all on the "Kitchen being busy" ! er what else do you expect if you are a popular joint ??On a couple of ocassions i have been asked to collect takeaway in 20 mins only for me to get there and wait for another 40-45 minutes (& they dont offer you an apology only a smirk & "5 more mins sir") and no surprise they again blame it on the "Kitchen being busy" In spite of all this we still eat & takeaway from Hyderabadi Spice; so you can imagine how good their food tastes.

Just because the place serves good food, the staff and management are quite rude. Even after waiting for more than 40 minutes, the staff are not even courteous to look after the customers.Highly reluctant to recommend this place.Very dissapointed

For One who die for Hyderabadi Biryani Its the best place in whole of UK...Rest of the varieties are also gooddd... The only issue is the place.. I believe they need to take a new place with more space... and also should open the branches in rest of the UK for food lovers.

I had taken a party order. I felt the food and thier service is good. If you are not a person having a tongue for spicy asian food, i suggest you stay away. This restaurant is for the taste buds from countries of Indian sub continent.We had hyderabadi dum biriyani and it was fabulous!One problem i noticed is the generous use of oil. After I had my starters, the stomach had a full sensation.

This place is one of my regular restaurants . Biriyani is the very good (though they have reduced the size of the potions now) . Starters are also good . Ambience is not great as the place is cramped and you have to wait to get a seat in the weekends. Service is average as they do not expect a tip /discouraged from accepting it . Cost is also nominal an average meal for two would cost about £30 - £35 .

went there yesterday after shopping in green street and eastham. decor is getting a bit worn and dated,but we do not go for that.the food is very authentic hydrabadi .pahari chicken kabab are to die for.succulent chicken pieces marinated with green masala ! biryani is great as well. the portion was so large that we couldn't finish it ! added achari gosht and kadhai chicken with tandoori roti was more than enough for us ! the bill was extremely reasonable at £10 a person ! no room for dessert obviously ! good food all in all !
