I ordered dum biryani to takeoff. At first there is no parking. Secondly this is the worst biryani I had in my life. It doesn’t taste like hyderabadi tooo.

We ordered the Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani. It tasted just okay. Not up to my expectations . The quantity was pretty fine. Madras coffee was good though it doesn’t taste like the authentic one. Overall, I feel, the restaurant can improve more.

Decent place to grab Indian food. Last time I went I got the Samosa Chat and Masala Chai

September 2, 2024

Ordered via Doordash for the first time. I put directions asking for the dishes to be mild spicy. When I received the order the food was burning spicy that I could not eat it. My guests were disappointed.

★★★

The chicken lacked the spices and I would give it 2.5 for the taste. This is not authentic hyderabadi Dum biryani.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The lamb biryani was mouthwatering, and Prasad's exceptional service made me feel valued. He was warm and welcoming, ensuring everything was to my liking.

My first glimpse at the restaurant: 1) The staff were very respectful and have a very welcoming hospitality. 2) I was craving for some authentic Hyderabadi food, so I queried about their menu and they were very patient and suggested me with Hyderabadi dum biryani and Dosa. About the food: 1) It’s a hidden gem, the size of the dosa was massive with fresh made potato filling just like back home and the taste was fabulous.

Biriyani was mediocre sadly. Had good expectations. Chicken bone pieces had very less flesh and that hindered the experience. There was a need for more rice in terms of quantity. For the price we think quantity should have been better in general. This is the family size we are talking about but was kind of disappointed.

The worst Biryani ever in my life. What a disgrace to the name. It was stale, dry and started to smell like it was 2-3 day old and overpriced. And when I called to complain the guy on phone trys to convince me that is how Biryani is made. No remorse or apology whatsoever. And they are selling expired thumbs up can as you can see the picture of the expired date at the bottom of the can which is almost a month now. I order Biryani biweekly and this guy talks nonsense to me. I dont know how this place is still running. I will pursue this to the food authorities. I encourage everyone to never buy anything from this place. Hopefully the owner of this place gets to see the reviews for themselves and take corrective actions or shut the place for good.

Weve tried the chicken biryani, mutton biryani and the chicken tikka here. The mutton biryani and chicken tikka were very flavorful, while the chicken biryani was a bit bland for my taste. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a bit of a wait, but the food was fresh, so it was worth it. Well return to try the samosas next time!

Hi, Placed an order for goat biryani on phone for pick up. I reached in 10 mins, it was packed nicely with Rita n salan. This biryani tasted awesome, with good amount of meat (which is my personal fav, because not just paying for flavoured rice). The staff was nice, good packaging, good quantity, good pricing, awesome taste. Will definitely order again and more often. Thank you for serving the community with such nice flavours.

At other Indian restaurants, I have ordered masala chai (black) because I have a dairy allergen.when ordering using the Uber app, you can do the same. Excellent! Now here comes the absolute stupidity. Epic Stupidity! The restaurant adds milk powder thinking that milk powder doesn t have lactose. Just turns out- I am a food safety person. The owner thought that regular milk powder can replace milk. lol. She is running a food establishment and I had to teach her that being arrogant about food safety can lead to customers being very sick and hospitalized. THIS BUSINESS NEEDS TO SHUT DOWN UNTIL EACH GETS FOOD SAFETY TRAINING AND THEY SHOUID SHOOE PROOF OF RECENT FOOD FOOD SAFETY TRAINING. This was never about $2.99. This was about not taking responsibility as a restaurant.

this was such a great find! As someone from south India, I was looking for some Indian food that tasted good and this place was just great taste and price wise. I got the idli set which was a great deal and such a steal for the price!! Also, I got the chicken vindaloo which was delicious and spicy and garlic naan which was a classic dish. Hyderabad spices definitely didn t disappoint and the people there were so warm and welcoming! I d definitely go again! (Coconut chutney is great!)

An underappreciated gem! Seriously, the folks at Hyderabad Spices run a good operation. I like how their menu is consistently getting tweaked and adjusted. I like how their dishes include the classics, but also some creative alternatives. Im so glad Hyderabad has succeeded, and congrats on your renovations. I hope this means I will continue to get my favorite things very conveniently. Parking: There is also a Green P about 50 meters to the East next to Pizza Pizza. There is a single delivery spot in the alley behind the Condo, but dont count on it being available.

Yesterday, I stopped by this place located just outside Islington subway station, on my way back from a long walk along Bloor Street. As I didnt want anything heavy, I tried the Chicken Tikka Kabab, and I wasnt disappointed. It came with 8 flavorful, cooked to perfection, ever so tender, moist and juicy pieces of chicken and a side of Indian salad. It was reasonably priced, and portion size was just right. I found the taste very authentic, and not watered down for white palates. I gave it a 3 star rating cos it was served in a take out container though Id said I would dine in. If it was served on a throwaway plate, Id have given it 4 stars. I understand its a difficult balancing act to keep prices attractively affordable and control costs when one provides decent tableware. Nevertheless, I was satisfied with my dining experience. On my way out, I engaged the owners - a lovely Indian couple, in a short conversation complimenting them on the delicious Chicken Tikka Kabab that they serve. They have a varied and interesting menu. I can see myself going there again.

Sorry, but it was not a very great experience for us, as the key thing was missing - TASTE. The stuffing in Aloo Paratha did not have adequate spices and tasted completely bland. Samosa Chaat lacked the very essential chaat taste. The gravy in Chilli Paneer tasted like tomato ketchup. Mango Lassi was okay but tasted like Shrikhand. The good thing is that they have a good number of vegetarian options and the location is superb. I am sure the management will take this feedback in a positive manner.

Nothing about this restaurant uses authentic Hyderabad spices - Im sorry to say. The owner says his chefs are from Hyderabad and hes been running this business since 2018, however, just because your chefs came from Hyderabad does not qualify them to make beautiful Hyderabadi dishes that are known for the region. I ordered two Hyderabadi biryanis in half trays (thank goodness they were half trays and not full ones). One was Chicken and other was goat. The chicken biryani had MASSIVE thigh pieces just suffocating the tray and the rice was barely present. Goat biryani was better. They put spices that are forbidden in actual Hyderabadi biryanis - I would know because my family friends and in laws are from there and I was just so embarrassed when I claimed that I got Hyderabadi dum biryani - one look and they were severely disappointed. The mirchi ka salan - THAT IS NOT MIRCHI KA SALAN. It is a watery abomination. No one should ingest that - sorry!! Owner (Prasad) is a cordial friendly person as he gave me a tray of complimentary gulab jamuns for my 1st time visit. But it stays as that - a first and only visit. I called him and gave my feedback and he was nice enough to listen to it.

We went here for our Iftar and it was an amazing experience. The quality of food was remarkable; we got the chicken vindaloo and the idli sambar (which I thought was a great deal for 6-7$). The chicken vindaloo was tasteful and spicy, just as we love it! The idli sambar was amazing and it was provided with tomato (?) and coconut chutneys. The customer service was exceptional, we were greeted as we walked in and he took our order and was very patient with us while ordering. After we had eaten a bit, he came and checked up on us and asked us if we liked the food and I thought that was so sweet. As the prices are affordable and the food quality is splendid, I d recommend everyone visit this place as I had a great meal here!

Ordered Egg Dum Biryani and Idli Sambhar..Biryani was very tasty and mildly spicy per Indian cuisine standard..The best part was both dishes were freshly cooked and flavorful..Idli was served with two chutneys which did not disappoint at all.. Price was on-point and the quantity was adequate. Giving 4 star only because the Sambhar could be better, and the restaurant space could be better ventilated. They only have 3-4 table for seating with kitchen within the same space.. Hopefully they profit soon, and expand to get a bigger place..I would definitely recommend and visit again for the Biryani or try other Hyderabadi dishes..

I have been living at the Bloor Islington area for over 10 years. The South West corner of Bloor Islington station has been served by various establishments over time but they were not able to stick around for long as it was not able to generate much business. But guess what - Hyderabad spices changed all that! I saw it - and i ordered the Goat Masala (which apparently is an appetizer dish) and fell in love with it immediately. The right amount of spices and aroma. I have ordered that many many times now. On top i personally belive that they have the best naan in town. That is after experiencing naans from so many indian and pakistani restaurants. The way the wrap it in an aluminium foil so that not to loose the integrity of the naan structure keeps its freshness. Additionally the naan is well baked unlike naans from other restaurants i have experienced where you find parts of the naan lumpy dough and not baked well. Highly recommended.

By far, the best Biryani Ive had in Canada. The spice level and authentic taste is what makes it special.

You guys need a better air filtration system. You cant walk by this corner anymore and not be overwhelmed by the smells emanating from this place. If not for people walking by....then how about the unfortunate people in the condo above you?

Ive ordered from them a few times now ever since they started. Dont mind the 3/5 ratting but let me break this down The appetizers are amazing, really good portions and the taste is very good. My Favorites were - Malai Chaap, Chicken Lollipop, Mali chicken tikka. Their Indochinese apps were average, I tried the chilli chicken which was not mind bending. But their newly introduced chicken fried rice was yum. They have biriyanis of various variety to choose from, though they dont taste authentic, they have have their own flavor profile which is not bad at all! The regular Dum Biriyani with extra masala and spicy is a fav. Also their avakka biryani and chicken tikka biryani are good too. Overall they have really improved on tase since the time they started. A big shout out to them!!! I am still going to order my Friday night dinners from here :)

Restaurant has HALAL sign, asked for the certificate but the guy refused to show and was very rude. Zero customer service.

December 22, 2023

The receptionists response to inquiring about the halal certificate was rather disrespectful and extremely rude. He firmly maintained that the restaurant indeed possesses a halal certification but declined to show it. He allowed me to leave the restaurant but never showed me the certificate. He was insisting me to trust him, and also asked another customer present at the restaurant to tell me that s it s halal. Everything happened at the restaurant in person, not over the phone call as the owner claims in the review s reply. As a precaution, it is advisable for all Muslims seeking halal food to exercise due diligence by verifying the hand-slaughtered halal certificate before dining at this restaurant.

The place is amazing. I ordered a chicken dum biryani. The quality of the food and the quantity was just too good. Loved the self service model (it kinda gives a canteen type vibe) and the food options and the pricing is very affordable. A plate medium biryani costs 24 cad and can easily feed 3 people.

After a couple of suggestions,we friends thought of visiting this place and tried a couple of items, Vijayawada chicken Dum biryani is our least fav but the rest all items ,chicken dum biryani is yummy, Paneer gongura biriyani is mouth watering tangy and the best egg pulao is just and finally a panner chilly is good with all spicy, good to try and even its economical.

The butter naan was amazing, probably the best Ive had in Toronto. It was very fluffy and soft. I regretted not getting more than 1. The palak paneer was very creamy and flavourful, and the paneer was cooked in the sauce so it was marinated properly.

So happy to finally have a restaurant offering authentic South Indian flavours in the neighbourhood! Reasonable prices, generous portions, fresh food, and friendly & helpful staff. Their biryanis are great, but you must also try their guthi vankaya eggplant! Cant go wrong with their chili chicken (pictured top), Andhra chicken curry, or any dishes with monagadi sauce (paneer is an excellent option). Just tried the egg pulusu (pictured bottom left). Never seen this dish before but will certainly consider ordering it again very flavourful! For those who are sensitive to heat, you might want to have some raita on the side. I consider myself to have a medium spice tolerance and so far everything Ive ordered has been prepared with the perfect amount of heat for me. Love this place and hope to keep coming back! Definitely recommend.

I really enjoy Indian food, especially their staple dishes like butter chicken and palak paneer. Im new to the area, so I thought to give this place a try - I ordered butter chicken. A little over $14 for a regular size, which turned out to be quite small for the price. Im not sure if it was freshly made - I heard the microwave being used as I waited for my food. Overall, the taste wasnt bad, and my sense was it is quite authentic. The butter sauce was a bit runny, but didnt ruin the dish. Id think twice before going back because the price doesnt match what you pay for.

Disgusting place and dishes Everything is was cheap quality but the prices were so expensive

We placed a huge order for our cottage trip and I must say I did not expect the food to be SO DELICIOUS. They packed the order really well, nothing spilled and the naan remained soft until the next day. Please dont miss out on their PANEER BUTTER MASALA, IT WAS THE BEST I AM STILL THINKING ABOUT IT. Chicken biryani was 10/10 We got the jumbo size and the quantity was more than enough. They were sweet enough to give us complimentary gulab jamun which was 11/10. Definitely a must try restaurant. These guys are doing an amazing job.

This was the best biryani I ate in the whole Canada. I have eaten biryanis in calgary, surrey and vancouver but this was the most authentic and delicious you will find in canada. Surely the chef had a tradition of cooking biryani in the house otherwise coming with such a taste is not possible.

December 22, 2022

I ordered Hyderabad Dum Biryani but the taste was awful! Chicken was not cooked properly and rice was with turmeric flavor. Portion of food was unfair though we did not eat all the food I bought. Ill never recommend this place to anyone! Im extremely disappointed of the food I bought....

They are not upto the standard.. indraprastha and charminar are more good compared after here..
