Hyderabad is often synonymous with Mehman-Nawazi (Hospitality), and it can also remind one of the historical Charminar and yeah, the Hyderabadi Biryani. Food plays a crucial role in defining our culture and traditions, Deccan Orchid is one such restaurant which according to me symbolizes the flavour of Hyderabad.
When it comes to Food I expect two things, first comes the Quality of Food and next the Price. Outstanding Food (in terms of taste and hygiene) and Reasonable Pricing is something I always look for. I happen to discover this restaurant through an online deal and since then, I have been visiting it often.
Located in the heart of the city, it goes by the tag line - Experience the Global Cuisine. So, it isn’t just the Hyderabadi food that one might relish their taste buds with, there is a lot more in store for foodies.
The Ambience : Comfortable seating arrangement, dim light that goes well with its decor and the soft music that gives a sense of solace to its guest.
The Staff : Friendly and well trained Staff. They help one get a vivid idea of the dishes & ingredients and often make some good suggestions. So next time you visit them, don’t hesitate in having a word with them. They are happy to help :-)
The Service : They are truly Hyderabadi as they take a little extra time but then, that assures me of the fact that I will be served Fresh Food..! I wish they work a little in this area and this is one reason I haven’t given them full rating.
The Food : I have been visiting this restaurant for almost two years now, starting from Soups and Salad, Exclusive Chicken & Arabian Dishes they also specialize in Sea Food and Chinese.
There are a few dishes which aren’t to be missed. Starting with..
The Platter : This include a lot of astounding variety : The Veg Platter, Chicken Platter, Mutton Platter, Sea Food Platter and Arabic Mixed Platter. The quantity is well sufficient for 4-6 people.
Chinese : No other Chinese restaurant in Hyderabad can beat them in taste especially when it comes to Chicken Soft Noodles. Reasonably priced at 110, a plate is sufficient for two.
Chicken Dishes:
Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani served here stands apart. A different taste, a taste that is unique yet Hyderabadi.
Chicken Afgani: Impressive taste, a must try with butter naan..
Something Sweet:
Double ka Meetha and Qubani is certainly a must try.
Parking Facility : They have parking area both outside and in the cellar.
Take-Away / Home Delivery: They offer a variety of Combos, where they merge a few selected dishes in both Veg & Non-Veg categories at a reasonable price.
Biryani Combo Pack : Large
Combo consisting of a plate Chicken & Mutton Biryani, Soya Chicken, 3 Boiled Eggs, Garlic Roti, 2 Mango Souffle, Qubani sweet and Coke (1 Ltr) is more than suffient for 6-8 people, all for Rs.500.
There is a similar Biryani Combo (Small) which is easily sufficient for 3 - 4 for Rs.250.
They also offer free home delivery within a certain range.. So if you stay nearby u can make the most of it by ordering the Economical Family Packs.
In my opinion, Deccan Orchid is the best place to hangout with friends/family, it offers everything for everyone. If you are in Hyderabad and near Masab Tank this placed shouldn’t be missed.
