It is very spacious and also has other gods and goddesses temples inside of it. The build of each temple is very different and very artistic. The view of the temple at night is spectacular. So peaceful and blessed with the visit.

The Shri Jagannath Temple in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, stands as a remarkable testament to architectural and cultural homage, drawing inspiration from the original Jagannath Temple of Puri, Odisha. The striking "Shikhara," towering at approximately 70 feet, commands attention with its intricate design and vibrant red hue, attributed to the meticulous use of sandstone imported from Odisha. Over 60 skilled stone carvers have lent their talents to shape this architectural marvel, embodying centuries-old craftsmanship and devotion.
Within its sacred confines, devotees encounter shrines dedicated to revered deities including Lakshmi, Shiva, Ganesh, Hanuman, and the Navagrahas, each imbued with spiritual significance and reverence. Notably, the presence of amorous sculptures adorning the temple's exterior serves as a symbolic shield against malevolent forces, enriching the spiritual ambiance.
At the heart of the temple lies the sanctum sanctorum, where Lord Jagannath, accompanied by his divine siblings, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra, resides in eternal grace and splendor. As a cherished landmark in Hyderabad's cultural landscape, the Shri Jagannath Temple beckons seekers of spiritual solace and architectural magnificence alike, offering a serene sanctuary for reflection, devotion, and transcendence.
Very pleasant and calm environment. You will feel good here. Parking is available but area is not that big but well maintained and managed for all types of vehicles. The temple located in very prime location(Banjara Hills).

It's very crowded on weekends, so it's better if you can manage to go on a weekday. We went there at 8:00pm, Aarti took place at 8:30pm. A very beautiful temple, walls depict various avatars of Sri Hari 🙏. You can also enjoy a nice tea at Cafe Niloufer Lounge which is very near(250 meters approx.) from the temple. Peace 🕊️
It's quiet a peaceful temple to visit for those who doesn't have time to go to the actual temple. Parking space is available and at the entrance you can buy things in shops which are at reasonable price. Overall visiting this temple is a nice experience.

A modern temple complex dedicated to Lord Jagannath with stunning architecture. It is about 30 minutes away from the High-tech
City and I highly recommend a visit to this place if you are planning to trip to this part of India. A true architectural masterpiece indeed and very peaceful.
Pleasent and Devine
Parking will be difficult on weekends
Plan your things and come as the traffic will be heavy and inside the temple it will take approximately 1-2 hours time for sure,
And maintenance is also can be taken care of well ( cleaning).
There will be no drinking water provision
Only option is to buy the water bottle or you can carry your own.
Only you can see the God for 10-15 seconds as they will keep on telling you that move. move.. move.....
Shree Jagannath Temple is a must-visit for anyone seeking spiritual or architectural wonder. This stunning temple in Hyderabad boasts impeccable cleanliness, breathtaking architecture, and intricate carvings that are a sight to behold.
The temple offers ample parking space for both two-wheelers and four-wheelers, ensuring a hassle-free visit. Additionally, flowers, incense sticks, and prasadam are readily available for purchase both inside and outside the temple premises.

While photography and videography are officially restricted, some visitors were allowed to capture pictures during my last visit.
Visit Shree Jagannath Temple for a peaceful and spiritual experience amidst stunning architecture.
Great devine place made as the exact replica of the Jagannath Temple in Puri. It's always recommended to the visit once if you are looking for some spiritual place to visit in Hyderabad
It's located exactly behind the MLA Guest House and at a prime location within the Jubblie Hills
People who like calm and soothing environment will like this place. One of those places which gives peace of mind. Very well maintained. The ambience is wood coloured, premises are neat and clean, very peaceful temple.
It was such a pleasure to visit Shree Jagannath Temple in Hyderabad. I had always wanted to see it for myself because of all the glowing reviews. The building is absolutely divine and was larger than I expected upon entering. The temple itself is a beautiful representation of Indian culture and heritage. Really blessed to be able to experience something like this. The kind devotees who greeted me my family were very welcoming and it was truly a pleasure to read about their faith. I am definitely going there again in the near future!
I would suggest taking the Temple Tour. It is a great experience and you will get to see the inner movement of the temple from different locations. You will feel blessed (like me) for sure.
Peaceful atmosphere and very great architecture of the temple. One of the must visit temples in hyderabad. Open from morning till 12 then after 5pm. If you visit during the sunset time is more beautiful. Vibrant red stone architecture and very well maintained temple. Good to visit with family and friends.
Visiting Shree Jagannath Temple for the first time. It's a completely divine experience. Went to Darshanam in the morning hours, it was very calm and peaceful. The temple is well maintained. Parking available
Nearby Hare Krishna golden temple is there.
The main temple is the perfect replica of Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri. I visited on Saturday, there is no much rush. The temple is very quiet and peaceful. There are other temples for other gods. Plenty of parking space available. There is no parking fee. There is no entrance ticket.

The Sri Jagannath Temple in hyderabad , India, is a captivating spiritual haven. Its towering spire and intricate architecture create a mesmerizing atmosphere. The temple's rich history and cultural significance, coupled with the vibrant rituals and festivals, make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a profound religious experience. However, the crowds during festivals can be overwhelming, affecting the tranquility of the visit. Overall, the temple offers a unique blend of spirituality and architectural beauty.
Blessed to visit this place. It gives the glimpse of actual Puri Jagananth temple were you feel the positivity all over. Every corner you keep hearing either chanting or bells ringing which keeps mind and heart at peace. Jai Shree Krishna... Hopefully one day we visit actual Puri Jagananth temple..
One of the most beautiful and mind blowing temple i have visited. I would suggest you to go in evening around 6. The temple lights and glows into beauty of lights. The prasad is very sweet and tasty. No tickets needed.
A lovely temple with great architectural view with intricate carvings and sculptures adorning the walls and pillars. located at Banjara hills. The atmosphere is soothing and peaceful.
There are many deities in the temple,Both devotees and visitors will find solace in the well-maintained surroundings and the hospitable atmosphere of the temple.
Highly recommended for those appreciating good architecture and a serene atmosphere.
Beautiful temple to do darshan of Lord Jagannath and other deities. It’s get busy during evening Aarti but it’s always blissful to sit on the stairs after completing darshan. You can look at all the religious paintings on the wall, they tell beautiful stories from the scriptures. If you leave gaja, don’t miss the prashad here.
Parking has moved to the side street between the temple and the police headquarters building
Nice temple. Calm and spiritual atmosphere. Many small temples of different gods are there. Parking is available outside free. Must visit place in Hyderabad. Nice architecture.
Perfect place to relax some time if we are in the mood for devotionality. Replica model of "Puri Jaganath" pilgrim centre which was in Odisha.
Architecture and Construction makes you feel the same as the original ones. Photography is not allowed in the "Garbha Gudi" and the temple staff were maintaining very well.Parking place is very limited.

Sri Chilkur Balaji Temple
Mentioned on
Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Sri Chilkur Balaji Temple, also known as the 'Visa' Balaji Temple, is a revered Hindu temple located on the banks of Osman Sagar Lake. This ancient temple, dating back to the 14th century, attracts a large number of devotees who believe that visiting it will expedite their visa application process. What sets this temple apart is its refusal to accept money and its lack of special privileges for the wealthy.
Best time to visit 7am for less crowd and not much Que. Only outside temple 1 and 11 rounds allowed. 1 -11 and 11 - 108 as some renovation inaide temple is done and also due to covid restrictions to avoid crowd inside temple.
Sufficient car parking inside temple area as well as outside some 200mts away.

Temple located near ORR Hyderabad. Also called as Visa temple. Getting there will take 1hour from city. Parking fee is 20rs. During weekends, its heavily crowded. It is better to go in weekdays ~4pm reopening time than weekends. For wish, it is said to do pradakshinam (walk around) for 11 rounds. After wish is attained, devotees walk for 108 rounds.
A nice place to get out of the city atmosphere. Weekday rush is quite low. Ample of parking space for cars. Shop keepers help you in parking vehicle. Later, we end up buying coconuts/flowers with them. Post covid, there is no pradakshina concept inside the premises. So, I’m not sure how the visa god takes 11/108 pradakshinas now! What we heard was, we need to it around the temple for a big pradakshina. That would be almost 4 old pradakshinas for one. As TTD didn’t takeover, there is no concept of hundi but a person collects money for temple betterment. Manjira water supply to city starts from here. That’s a scenic view to look out for!
Surely one of the famous Balaji temple 🙏
People believe that who ever visits the temple & offer 11 pradakshanalu will get their visa approved easily by god's grace
After their visa approval they have to visit the temple again & offer 108 pradakshanalu
After COVID the temple authority made a rule that u can do 1 pradakshina outside the temple which is equal to 11 pradakshanalu inside the temple & 11 pradakshanalu which is equal to 108 pradakshanalu inside the temple
So your choice whether to do inside or outside the temple
& in weekends pradakshanalu is not allowed inside the temple keeping in mind the rush of devotees on that days
In weekdays u can do pradakshanalu upto 6.30 pm ,if some left no worries, remaining can be done outside 😊
U can see lots of students doing it
Outside the temple u can get seasonalfresh fruits & there are lots of shops too
There are small hotels so no worries abt food
But better to reach as early as possible to avoid rush 🙂
The beauty of the temple is its simple even after getting so many devotee.
Weekday Mornings are best time to visit. As you can avoid crowd.
Amazed to know the this temple is also called visa temple. No wonder there were 100s of young doing pradakshana in the morning hours.
Coconut should be offered outside.
Great pleasure to visit Balaji temple, plenty of parking available,don't fall prey to Coconut sellers they will b back of us and Ask us to drop our slippers and ask us to buy coconut for huge price ..Due to COVID crisis rounds are not allowed around the temple, Darshan is quite easy and q line is not much of rush..! You get peace and beautiful atmosphere and realise that this a good place for spiritual activities, there were good cafeteria were Indian food (meals)are available for reasonable prices, we can find many shops after darshan like key chains,dolls, hand threads, fancy items,eatable items prasadam items many more with very reasonable prices! Must visit this place ....
Divine experience for sure.
Try to reach by your own vehicle or pre-booked vehicle from Hyderabad .
Reach early morning or early evening by 4.00pm where crowd will be less.
Ample parking is available and on weekdays.
You can do Parikrama from inside the temple itself on weekends you need to do outside the temple.
Limited buses are available from Hyderabad.
Very beautiful temple.. it’s not very far from HYD.. we went on shankaranthi day so was very crowded… but crowd management was very good.. will surely want to visit again.. they temple is very old, they have ample car parking.. 20rs ticket for car park..
Wow it was a Great Experience many People come to visit this Place from different Areas...
Chilkur Balaji Temple is situated in the picturesque village of Chilkur, about 30 kilometres away from Hyderabad. It is also called the VISA Temple...
One of the famous temples in Telangana state. Most powerful god people believe wishes will be fulfilled by lord Srinivas.🔱🕉️⚜️
Avoid visiting Saturday too crowded.
To get peaceful darshan visit weekdays just visit temples with friends and family members 😍
Timings (Mon-Sun)
6 am–1 pm
4pm–6 pm
We were here on Sunday and the crowd was less as we reached here by 8.30 AM. Try to come as early as possible as the temple gets open by 6 AM in the morning. Parikrama is allowed inside the temple only from Monday to Thursday and on Friday, sat and Sunday you have to do parikrama outside. It becomes very hot as time passes by and it will be tough to do the parikrama. Come early if you want to do the parikrama on weekends. There are a lot of shops around the temple from where you can eat and you can also do window shopping.
Chilkur Balaji is a sacred site where Shri Lord Venkatesh, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is believed to manifest. It is an ancient belief that those who sincerely remember Lord Balaji and offer heartfelt prayers have their wishes fulfilled by Him. The temple dedicated to Balaji is located approximately 50 kilometers away from Hyderabad and can be reached by state bus services. Devotees have the privilege of witnessing the darshan (divine appearance) of Balaji through the main entrance, and upon the fulfillment of their desires, they perform circumambulation around the temple premises.
I have also attached a video along with my post, which you might have noticed that only a few have observed, showcasing the beauty of the temple and the tranquility it offers. Adjacent to the temple, there is a pond where devotees partake in the ritualistic act of ablution. Visiting this site provides a serene experience, akin to stepping into the realm of Balaji's domain.
Parking -⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ambience - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This place is a gem of Hyderabad . It is in corner of Hyderabad.
But the place carry many spiritual rights .
The place have belief that any wish did hear get fulfilled by lord shree Krishna {Govinda}.
People use to come and worship lord shree Krishna and covers 108 round inside the temple to thank god .
The place is very peaceful and a different kind of aura you feel from here .
They have shiva temple inside the temple .
People usually offer coconut and tulsi to god over this place.

Overall a very peaceful and relaxing place you can go with you family and friend for positivity. Phone are not allowed to use inside temple premises.
Please be away from scammer .
Sri Chilkur Balaji Temple is a serene spiritual haven. The divine atmosphere, ancient architecture, and tranquil surroundings create a unique experience. A must-visit for seekers of peace and devotees alike.
A very well maintained temple. A quiet temple where there is no excessive noise or commotion, only Govinda mantra anywhere
Been to Sri Chilkur Balaji Temple on 23-12-2023 , it is an auspicious day of baikunth Ekadashi . Expected huge crowd. As the buses are free for ladies,, a huge crowd of women’s flowed. The temple community has arranged it very organised manner. Each and every one get opportunity to see the diety 🙏.Out of all “ Govinda “ chanting by all makes the temple premises so mesmerising. Govinda Govinda … still it is resounding in my ears . My daughters all felt so good . The best Birthday ever .
The temple itself is nice, but as soon as you enter, a few people aggressively push you to buy coconuts and Pooja items. However, the prices are quite high. Once inside, the atmosphere is pleasant. Additionally, many people visit the temple seeking visa approvals, placing their trust in the god. This adds to the atmosphere of faith within the temple.
Blessed to visit the Chilkur Balaji temple which is also known as visa Balaji. The temple and surrounding place is very developed now as compared to my last visit in 2020. Everything is good except the commercial shopkeeper and parking space management, they just try to loot everyone. Some officials or govt should look at this issue.
Blessed.
Car entry ticket -20/-. No spl and ticket, everything is free of cost. All the other things are very expensive.
Very big Parking availability.
TSRTC bus available - service no: 288 from mehadipatnam.
Coconut -30/- mango-50/- gova - 80/kg.

Taj Falaknuma Palace
Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Architectural Buildings
Nestled 2,000 feet above Hyderabad on 32 acres of land, Taj Falaknuma Palace is a grand hotel exuding royal elegance. Once the residence of the Nizam of Hyderabad, this opulent palace is now leased to the Taj Group. With its Italian-inspired architecture, Venetian chandeliers, and marble staircases, it offers a glimpse into the regal past.
This place really exceeded my expectations, you really are treated like royalty. From the carriage ride up until the moment we walked into our car, we were treated with the utmost respect and courteousness. The deserts here were delicious, the rooms were clean and spacious. But the real gem of this place was the history and all the entertainment options all day. The historian was wonderful touch as well, giving a true perspective, the hotel staff were all wonderful, ready to be of help at any given moment as well. I would 100% recommended this place to anyone, a wonderful experience!

Oh my God ! What an exceptional palace it is. Though that was my first time to visit such a royal palace !
The palace is exceptionally beautiful with the fine artistic work done on everything situated and located over there.
The welcoming was such royal to be felt as I am a royal person, the service was such a warm welcoming always as if it was done for the first time.
The food was exceptionally tasty with a large variety, and it was difficult to choose what to eat.
That was such a comfortable and pleasing environment staying over there.
Recommended for everyone.
I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Taj Falaknuma Palace in Hyderabad and words cannot express the level of luxury and opulence I experienced. From the moment I stepped inside the palace, I was transported to a world of grandeur and elegance.
The palace is a work of art, with intricate details and breathtaking beauty in every nook and cranny. The rooms are nothing short of majestic, with plush bedding and stunning views.
The staff was exceptional, with a genuine warmness that made me feel like royalty. The food was a culinary journey, with every dish more delicious than the last.
I cannot recommend the Taj Falaknuma Palace enough to anyone looking for a truly one-of-a-kind experience in Hyderabad.
This is a place that exceeds all expectations and truly deserves more than the highest five-star rating.
A place of history, magnificence, splendour, ambiance. It's well amazing, there is parking facility available. Tickets for entry. One can see vintage paintings, antiques, relieve the history. The moment of time just stops over there. A beautiful garden adds up to the vibes. The insides are just as awesome. I love to visit this place and recommend everyone to pay a visit at least once.
The Taj Falaknuma Palace is an epitome of luxury and heritage. Set atop a hill, it offers breathtaking views of Hyderabad. The palace's architecture and interiors showcase the opulence of the Nizam era. With impeccable service, lavish accommodations, and exquisite dining options, it promises a memorable and regal experience for guests. However, some visitors may find the prices quite steep, but for those seeking a royal retreat, it's worth every penny.
We stayed at the palace for 2 days while visiting family (garden room 118). This was an absolutely amazing experience! It's a palace, so I don't think I need to spend a lot of time describing the grounds or the rooms (suffice to say everything is spectacularly beyond expectations, and there are plenty of pictures of everything at the grounds, so I thought I'd share some of the peacocks and the pool).
What I wanted to recognize here is that the diamond of this sprawling palace is its incredible service and staff. The service at Falaknuma is impeccable, and the staff defines what exemplary attention to detail is. I have never had a better hotel stay, and I don't think I will again until I return.

This is the best hotel that I have visited in my life. I won't say it's a hotel but heaven for those looking for comfort, luxury, style and location. The food is exceptionally tasty and the staff is so friendly that you don't even have to ask for something, they are there for you anytime.
Amazing experience we had here. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The room service was excellent 👌🏼. Attached bathroom 🛁 was big enough for couple. Good views from the room for sunrise and sunset.
The hotel smells like we are in heaven. Calms your senses and mind. 🌟 🌟 🌟 special stars for this feel.
The Taj Falaknuma Palace is a magnificent hotel located in Hyderabad, India. The service is impeccable and the staff is attentive and friendly. The hotel's restaurants offer a variety of delicious local and international cuisine. Highly recommend it for a truly royal experience.
The palace offers a luxurious and royal experience with its stunning architecture, intricate carvings, and opulent furnishings. Guests can enjoy the palace's grand halls, private dining rooms, and beautiful gardens.
wonderful experience.
Had dinner at Celeste Restaurant. There are two other restaurants within the palace. Free Palace tour is available before dinner. The views from Palace are stunning. No photography inside the Palace. The restaurant ambience is fine. Few dishes were salty. Few main course were very creamy. There is reservation with 50% down-payment to be made and minimum spent required irrespective of bill. Service is very good. Worth a visit.
Loved the palace tour. Right from the gate you feel that Royal touch. Tata has maintained this place with excellent quality. Dining was truly Royal.
This isn’t a personal experience but I can’t thank enough the Taj Falaknuma Palace staff for making my parents stay a memorable one. I stay away from my folks and my spouse made a reservation for our parents on the occasion of my mother’s birthday.
Taj hotels went above and beyond our expectations and provided a memorable stat for my parents. Your staff is the best among the world, please take care of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Once in a lifetime you can visit the palace and feel the royal dinner ☺️🍽️..

It was 24 carrot gold sealing 👌
The history is amazing about it and now it was taken on lease by Taj group of hotels for 30 year contract.
We attended a wedding ceremony at the venue and it was amazingly organized!! The venue itself is exquisite and an experience by itself! Our hosts planned everything perfectly but what elevated it to the next level was the elegant service by the staff who extended themselves way above what was expected.
This palace is Royal and quite mesmerising.People who want to be treated royally can choose this place. The service is excellent and one will definitely enjoy staying here. The place has a great architecture and intricate work. The food can be improved but surely it is not bad. Palace tour is available between 6 pm to 9 pm. Tour guide will let you know about the history of each room, so people who are interested in history should not miss out on this place. Staff is friendly and the service is awesome.
Words cannot adequately express the sheer splendor and unforgettable experience I had during my time at the Falaknuma Palace. The moment I stepped foot into the palace grounds, I was transported to a bygone era of royalty and grandeur.
One of the most enchanting moments of my stay was the welcoming horse-drawn chariot ride and greeting by a shower of fragrant rose petals. I couldn't help but feel like royalty, taking in the magnificent surroundings with a sense of wonder.
The meticulous restoration of the palace has ensured that its original charm and architectural brilliance are preserved, allowing guests like myself to immerse in the rich history and feel like a part of a Nizzamian dynasty. The panoramic views from the palace, perched atop a hill, were simply breathtaking, providing a sweeping vista of the vibrant city of Hyderabad.
From the warm greetings upon arrival to the personalized assistance and genuine care of every member of the staff was exemplary going above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction throughout my stay. I truly felt like a cherished guest, and their efforts made my stay all the more remarkable.
The two exquisite restaurants offered a tantalizing array of dishes, blending traditional Hyderabadi cuisine with international flavors. I savored every bite, indulging in the culinary masterpieces that left a lasting impression on my taste buds.
Falaknuma Palace will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an enchanting retreat fit for royalty.
Visited this place with family for lunch . Food was amazing , service was decent . Enjoyed every bite of the 4 course meal .
The property tour was a bit disappointing, we thought we would be taken around the entire property , but it was the tour to the then dining hall and the ball room and that’s it . Expected to get baggi ride , it was not included . Price per pack is high when the tour is not well organised .( my family friends had been there just few days ahead of us & they got to see the other rooms in the property & they hit a baggi ride too ) package costing the same though .
Brilliant place to say the least.. grand ambience, amazing people and mouth watering food.. really unique attractions in the palace, highlight being the world's largest dining table.. the staff are so loving and caring, always looking to help and making us feel special.. you will enjoy the palace tour, the brilliant high tea, and most importantly the royal rooms.. nothing short of breathtaking.. beautiful views of Hyderabad city from all around the palace.. nice and calming stay, something which our family loves..
It an Wonderful Experience and Finger licking Food and good hospitality. little bit expensive. Overall Every thing is memorable
I booked dinner for 2 at Adaa, which came to a little over Rs. 9000/- per person. The dinner included a tour of the palace as well. It was a disappointing experience. The tour guide was acting like a robot with no emotion and was just regurgitating words she must have been taught. On top of that, her English was not that good, and she spoke in such a low volume that half the people present could not hear her.
After the tour, we were asked to go for dinner. When we arrived, there was no reception. We had to ask and figure out where to go.
The table setting at Adaa was mediocre and plain. The wait staff was not well trained, the food selection was ok, but had good taste.
I asked for a finger bowl, and the waiter just brought one with cold water and left - did not have the courtesy to wait till I was done and didn't bring a napkin either.
Overall, the experience was mediocre and disappointing, and I will not repeat.
Go there if you just want bragging rights that you had dinner at Falaknuma Palace.
By far its worth seeing experience..
1 oddity we find approach road,front parking place is very non-std the way its like town side road.
-1 suggestion: Better to put colorful plants enroute to palace/Hotel.. Interior roads also need some face lift
Loved the evening ambience with live sufi performance. Great variety and nawabi food. A spectacular lifetime experience ✨
Great place and a well spread dinner. Icing on the cake is the palace tour showcasing richest man on earth "Nizam" journey. Mind blowing....

Sacred & Religious Sites
Birla Mandir is a stunning Hindu temple located in Hyderabad, India. Situated on a 13-acre land atop a 280-foot hill called Naubat Pahad, it is a popular religious site for Hindus and travelers alike. Inaugurated by Swami Ranganathananda of the Ramakrishna Mission, this modern marble temple boasts intricate carvings and shrines. The serene atmosphere and scenic views make it a must-visit destination.
My most favourite place in the whole city. Extremely peaceful and breathtaking. They don’t allow the phones at all and actually that’s nice because you get to mindfully enjoy the whole scenery out there, you can see the Beautiful Buddha statue and the water flowing in Tank Band, heavy and busy city traffic, beautiful white marble architecture all around you, very serene deities and calm atmosphere.

The most beautiful and well maintained and most cleanest temple. It is on the top of the hill. Need to use approx 200 stairs. But steps are not so big. Convenient for old age people also. There is lift also. Cameras not allowed inside. View from temple are amazing especially in rainy season.
Beautiful structure made out of marble. It is nice up there and you can see the full city from above. Temple closes at 9 pm. Phones and footwears are not allowed inside the temple.
Birla Mandir in Hyderabad is a magnificent temple that stands as a testament to architectural grandeur and spiritual serenity. The temple, also known as Birla Temple, is dedicated to Lord Venkateswara and is perched atop a hillock, providing a breathtaking panoramic view of the city.
The temple's white marble architecture is striking, with intricate carvings and ornate designs that showcase the craftsmanship of the artisans. The serene ambiance within the temple complex offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city below.
One can feel a sense of tranquility while exploring the temple premises and admiring the detailed sculptures depicting various mythological stories. The blend of traditional South Indian temple architecture with modern aesthetics adds to the temple's uniqueness.
Visitors often praise the well-maintained surroundings and the cleanliness of the temple. The lush gardens and fountains enhance the overall beauty of the site, providing a serene environment for both worshipers and tourists.
Whether you are seeking spiritual solace or simply appreciating architectural marvels, Birla Mandir in Hyderabad is a must-visit. It not only offers a religious experience but also stands as a symbol of cultural richness and architectural brilliance.
Unfortunately, you can't make the pictures inside, and they ask you to leave your shoes and cameras/phones near the entrance. Overall the place is beautiful, with white stone and carvings. On the upper level, there is an observation place with a scenery of Hyderabad
Must visit place in Hydrabad. Whole temple is made up of white marble. Scenic view is quite good you can see whole Hydrabad city from here. Best thing I like about place that phones are not allowed. There is a library inside the temple if you want a quite place then this place is for you.
One of the best temple in Hyderabad, it is lord balaji temple, It is on top of hill, so you need to take approximately 200stairs, But steps are not so big so it’s convenient for old age people, There is a lift. And Camera's and phones are not allowed inside the temple you should keep in lockers or in your vehicles. Temple clean and well maintained, the view from the temple so beautiful, vehicle parking also available, definitely come and visit once.
I loved overall vibe of this mandir. They take away your phones so that you visit this mandir in peace and hustle free. There is a penny free phone and shoe store where you can keep your phones and shoes. You can buy coconut as god’s offering. The best part is views from the top. Please avoid visiting the temple in afternoon. Tiles are pretty hot
Beautiful Hindu Temple surprisingly built on a small hill in a very spiritual atmosphere. Artistic carving on a marbal stone is great.
The idols of different God is amazing.
Photography is not allowed inside the campus. You can shoot before entering the temple.
This photos i upload are outside only because there is no phone or camera are not allowed to take inside the temple. The temple is so beautiful inside the temple is built in maximum i think full of white marbles only and the view point from inside the temple is so good you can see the Buddha statue and Ambedkar statue most of the place are you see from inside the temple if you want to spend time in peaceful visit the temple it good mind relaxation
This place is one of the best in Hyderabad, located in the height with a mesmerizing view of the lake, secretariat and city. You can also enjoy the sunset view of the cool Breeze during Jan - March. Hussain Sagar Lake in walking distance. The place was a bit crowded during the weekend but it's worth going.
The best place to visit in Hyderabad if you want to visit Lord Sri Venkateswara and his majestic abode atop a hill. It's made of pristine white marble and intricate beauty lies everywhere the eyes go. From gorgeous meadow like hills covered in bougainvilleas and the Idol the outide and inside in black which is supreme, majestic and beautiful to gaze at. The patio behind and outside the temple has wide space where you can sit and meditate. No phones allowed inside the premise. And a panoramic view of Hyderabad is an extra highlight. Must visit for religious devotees of Lord Krishna 🙏🏻
I was went for my exam to Hyderabad. I visited first the Birla temple of God Venkateshwar.The temple was just Wow...😍✨it is fully build with marbles i have got to hear that it Is made with so much of tons of marble. It has very peace full surrounding and from the top of the temple we will get to see the lake and In that the statue very Good. loved it.
This is one of my favorite places in Hyderabad. The details are quite elaborate and there are many sculptures to appreciate, as well as a lovely view of the Hyderabad city from the top.
Mobile phones are not allowed inside, but you can leave it in the cloak room and take a number.
Date of experience: July 2023
One of the cleanest temple, very well maintained. Need to submit phone before entering. Gives a majestic view of Hyderabad with Hussein Sagar lake and the great Indian flag.
Beautiful Baaji Temple on a small hill adjacent to Hussain Sagar & behind New Hyderabad Secretariat. Idols in the temple are very Devine. There is a lift available for Senior Citizens to reach temple top instead of walking through stairs. At night we can view the chain of lights of the Necklace Roads around Hussain Sagar Lake. As camera not allowed we couldn't take photos of it from temple top.
Outstanding marble structure, well-maintained. There's a brilliant view from the top. However note that mobiles and cameras are not allowed inside the temple premises, so you will need to store it in the cloak room at the entrance.
Visited the beautiful Mandir in Hyderabad and was thoroughly impressed with the serene atmosphere and meticulous maintenance. Situated in the middle of the city, the Mandir is a peaceful haven that radiates cleanliness and hygiene, creating an aura of Shanti, peace, and Sukoon.
The highlight of the visit was the requirement to submit mobile phones and electronic valuables before entering the temple premises. This unique practice allowed me to fully immerse myself in the spiritual experience without any distractions. The management's efficiency in handling this process was commendable, contributing to a truly tranquil environment.
Additionally, the Mandir offers breathtaking scenic views that add to the overall charm of the place. If you're seeking a serene escape in the heart of the city, this Mandir is a must-visit. The combination of cleanliness, tranquility, and well-managed facilities make it a standout destination for spiritual seekers.
Mandir build fully using marble.. we can see a beautiful of new parliament mandir from the top of the temple. It is really beautiful. Place is pleasant and peaceful.
The temple is on a hill and doesn't allow taking photos inside. It has lots of stairs, which might be tough for older folks. But it's totally worth it because Lord Balaji is there. Plus, you get an awesome view of the city from the top, which is really cool. Overall, it's a great experience!
Nice location. Beautiful temple situated on top of a hill. Plenty of car parking space. Afternoon it will be closed for a few hours. Nice city and lake view from the top. Peaceful place.
Birla Mandir is a calm place where you can go for free. While Mobile phones are not permitted inside, the temple provides a clock room, where we can keep our mobiles at no cost. The best part is the amazing view from the top, which makes you feel peaceful. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the city without any distractions.
Beautiful marble temple well maintained and daily poojas done for Lord Venkateshwara.
Photography not allowed.
No place to sit
No shelter either in stair case or pathway or anywhere else.
Compulsorily some sitting arrangement must be done for senior citizens , ladies with small kids.
A very good and well maintained temple completely made of white stone marble.
Temple is located on top of the hill having some very great views of the city
No photography is allowed inside temple and there is no place to sit in temple.
Beautiful marvelous. Such an intricate architecture. Beautiful designed. Many devotees sing the Govinda jaap. A magnificent place for mind peace and meditation. Phones are not allowed inside the temple since photography inside the temple is not allowed. You have veg canteens outside the temple. This temple is located on a hill. A crowded place I would say.

Ramoji Film City

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Ramoji Film City is a must-visit destination, known as the world's largest film studio. It offers tours, live shows, and an on-site theme park and adventure zone. The iconic tourist attraction provides a behind-the-scenes look at Tollywood and Bollywood movies. With permanent sets like temples and courts, an amusement park, restaurants, and souvenir shops spread over 2000 acres, it guarantees a full day of entertainment for visitors of all ages.
Awesome experience! A half day fun trip. The place is easy to locate on the ORR. The studio tour is main attraction having Baahubali set and all. The other shows were also fun and entertaining. Has many eateries and lots of seating. The buses also take you around from place to place, so medium amount of walking. The crowd management is excellent and it's overall a fun trip.
Samhita Argula — Google review
Worth a visit if you are on a trip to Hyderabad - it is around 1 1/2 hours drive from City Centre. Gives an idea as to how films are made and sets are constructed. Need to either reach by around 9 am or stay there in one of the hotels inside the previous evening as you need a full day to see everything. Even a full day is a bit rushed. Best to pick up tickets ('Studio Tour' is good enough) online, go to the centre point (Eureka), attend the opening ceremony at 9.45 am, proceed to Studio Tour/Eco Tour (must do), have lunch, then go for the shows. Don't miss the Wild West Stunt Show! Lights, Camera, Action is interesting too. Rest of the shows are average, especially for someone who has been to other studios/sets elsewhere. Food within RFC is average or even below average. RFC can make the experience better by putting up their detailed e-brochure, program and map on their website. Their email IDs and contact numbers on the website are unresponsive and this is an issue they should address. They should also plant more trees! Overall, it is a nice experience while on a Hyderabad trip but considering the resources, the management can do so much more to make it a 'must see before I die' experience.
Very nice and well maintained. The support staff is very helpful. Over all good experience. Food is little big costly. The free activities when we reached most on it has not started. Was not worth going there. Garden and bonsai collection is very good. Opening and closing ceremony is very good.
Beautiful, gigantic but extremely overpriced and overhyped.
Pros:
A real city, you can get lost
Very beautiful and great for movie and nature lovers
Lots of greens and nice movie sets which can make you wonder
Cons:
Extremely overpriced
Kids can hardly enjoy
Toddlers will have to pay for the ticket although there is nothing for them
Some of the rides that kids and toddlers can enjoy will cost you extra, not included in the ticket
Bus tour route is circular, meaning A - > B - > C - > D - > A, so you can't visit, say point A from from point C.
You will get bored after a point as seeing only movie sets for the whole day is actually not that interesting as it sounds
P.S.:
Those who have seen Universal Studios and think this one also as the same, please note, that both are very different.
Despite being THE biggest and the largest film city in the world, it is maintained very well. The tour buses inside the film city are not only well maintained, neat and clean but also have very well trained, jovial and friendly guides.
Full day of excitement and fun. Best place to enjoy with family and kids. Baahubali set was the main attraction. Best time to visit this place is during winter as you need to walk a lot and hence in summer it will be very tiring. Lot of restaurants and snacking bar available at almost all locations.
Movie magic is another attraction where you enjoy movie making experience. Overall a great time well spent
Awesome place to hangout with friends or family. I visited in carnival season. Amazing sets. So beautiful. Full day trip with all sets and adventure park . Zip line, Arrow shooting, rain dancing, and many more games. You can book online and definitely skip the hectic queue.they are having their own shiny red buses inside to travel from one set to other. Food and water available inside. Very clean washrooms .kids have their own playing area with some rides and a great entertainment show with jinn , wonderful staff will show beautiful play to your child and will make them laugh. Last, you can enjoy many rides in their amusement area and enjoy snacks over there.
Fantastic experience. Car parking is near to ticket counter. Smooth entry and no waiting for bus. It takes about 15 minutes to actual Film City from ticket counter. Thereafter everything is arranged and organised so well that it becomes a day to remember. The volunteers are polite and helpful guiding the tourists all day long. Besides many film sets, there are plenty of parks and they are maintained impeccably. The cleanliness all around is outstanding and kudos to all who maintain it. The shows are all good and try not to miss them. Small food kiosks are available at every site and reasonably priced. Washrooms are very very clean. Moreover, drinking water is available at every place and one need not carry water bottles. The free rides offered in park are awesome. Moving around in customized red buses is special. Overall, an enjoyable day. Thanks to management.
Best and must visit attraction in Hyderabad.
offers enjoyment for people of all ages.
You will have lot of shows to watch.
Upon entering the film city, get the details of the shows for the day and plan accordingly.
It is advisable to carry a hat or umbrella with you..
You will have drinking water facilities all around the place.
One of the best places to visit
Really wonderful place
Its extends over 1666 acres and having Guinness world record for largest film studio complex.
Better to stay and spend 2 days there to see all studios
Best place to visit
I'd need to write a lengthy essay to fully describe everything. All I can say is that it's fantastic, incredible, and totally worth the 1593 rupees. You'll visit each spot one by one, starting with the opening ceremony, studio tour, European cities, Japanese garden, eco-tour, butterfly garden, and much more. Check out my photos for a better idea.
Top class! I was surprised that we have places like this in India.
Very well organized right from the time you enter the parking. All the shows were superb.
If you don't want to miss anything, reach there early - it takes one full day.
Towards the end there is butterfly park and collection of beautiful birds - they even have Ostriches.
Cafeterias are clean and food is okay.
When you reach, don't forget to take the bus tour first, that way you will know how much you are actually going to see and you can plan your time spent at each attraction properly.
A must visit place. The ticket rates are extremely reasonable. In fact, towards the end, I heard so many people say the tickets are priced so low considering what they have on offer.
Totally worth it!!!
A full on entertainment. Must place to visit for all age groups. The longer you stay the better it is. Tough to cover in one day. There are movie sets, parks, gardens, actions, dance sequences, horror house, food joints and full of adventure. Area wise it’s very big but there are buses from the pick up point which takes you inside.
It’s a beautiful experience. One should walk a lot. There will be many buses to hop on and hop off from one destination to another. It’s really a must watch city where almost every film sets have been set up and different parks have also been set up. It’s a very different experience people can experience. There are few hotels also where booking can be done for stay and see Ramoji film city. There are huge options to explore food items as well
It is a very good place for people who have seen the movies and love to explore the sets. Overall it is not worth the ticket price. All the items here are overpriced. The items in the adventure park are also way too costly. And the complementary ones are of no use. The food is good. The bus system is also a bit wierd. The buses only leave when there is a significant amount of crowd in the bus. But otherwise it was a good experience.
Must visit while in Hyderabad.
Located around 60 kms from main Hyderabad city.
Spread over 1600 acres.
They have buses from the parking area to the film city and back.
Multiple buses are in service.
Full day tickets, morning or evening session tickets are available.
Very well organized and staff are always helpful and advice where to go after every show.
The usual waiting time is 15 to 20 minutes for the shows.
Multiple food stalls are available everywhere in the film city.
Food is costlier compared to hotels but still cheaper than malls.
Buses are available from point to point and are always available.
Need at least a full day to cover all the places.
The important thing is people will start getting tired by 4 pm since we need to walk a bit within the studios even though buses are there.
If you are going to Hyderabad and not visiting "Ramoji Film City" then you should think 2Wice.
So being an Indian we all have lots of influence of Indian Cinema Directly or indirectly on our life's through music, comedy, films, stories or any other way. So Ramjoji gives us the insight what goings on the other sides of the screen and how they shows us larger then life characters, scenes, actions.
Its worth the price for sure. You need a whole day to explore and you should start early with the opening ceremony and you should stay till closing ceremony. Staff puts lots of efforts for sure to make sure we are having fun in a cinematic style.
Few things which they lack or its not worth is the food they sell inside. Had very bad experience with this. Being so pricy they don't deliver the kind so service you expect and even the food quality is not that great. Specially buffets are not watched for the hygiene or the cleanliness. So my 4 star are for the food outlets they have inside.
Other than food it was an wonderful experience for sure.
Thank You. 🙏🏽
It's a must visit for everyone to see the world's largest film studio. Management is doing a good job, they keep providing the helpful information to see and help all the way from beginning to end. Drinking water and toilet facilities available at every place whereever you are going to need. It's once in a lifetime experience. There are lots of things to see and experience in one day , difficult to see cover everything in one day, still you can manage to see all if you will hurry. Food is expensive inside though , they should keep it reasonable, lots of people are coming here everyday .
One of the most entertaining places in Hyderabad for both adults and kids. There are different movie sets along with railway station, airport, shopping areas, some of the Indian and world famous monuments, many gardens, birds park with variety of interesting birds, butterfly and bonsai gardens, many different plants and flower gardens, restaurants, kids related entertainment and shows like Spirit of Ramoji, Action Show, Movie Making, Space Yatra, Rain Dance etc. It took us almost 9 hours to see most of the places. The Star Experience package was great.
Good place for family entertainment. Please book tickets in advance. You can either opt for full day trip or even a night stay where they have 3 different hotels available within premises.
Provide food(lunch) and high tea both of which were upto the mark. Lots of places to visit. Dance show, stunt show, movie making show, botanical gardens, shooting sets, bahubali set, airplane and train setup, kids entertainment area and finally rides & musical show. Absolute fun.

Hyderabadi restaurant
Hotel Shadab, nestled in the bustling streets of Charminar's Ghansi Bazaar, may not catch your eye from the outside, but it's a hidden gem for authentic Hyderabadi biryani and Mughlai cuisine. The restaurant opens early and closes late, making it convenient for visitors to savor its delectable offerings.
Not a fancy hotel but in 250 u can have a full biryani and still will not be able to finish it. It's steamy hot and full of freshness of spices and a big piece of chicken. The salan and raita are also on par with the taste. The biryani was well decorated with fried onion. Highly recommended.
Cons- they don't accept card or upi payments.. plz carry cash while gng thr.

Great old city experience. I've had sadab a few time and on better days such as during ramadan time, I've had better experiences. This was the first time I had a regular dine in experience. Food was good obviously. Therefore it's such a highly acclaimed place. But there were many misses and a few hits therefore a 3 is a fair rating for this experience
Good place for Lunch & dinner with family but has extremely tight seating due to heavy flow of people. Definitely expect atleast 30 minutes of waiting time as there is always crowd here. Mutton Biryani is very tasty here and tandoori chicken is also quite good. Prices are reasonable too. Will visit here only if I have infinite time for a meal and patience to wait. Also difficult to find parking for a 2 wheeler or a 4 wheeler.
Went on a weekend evening for dinner. If you are fond of Dum Biryani then this is the place to try.
Tried Mutton Biryani which was good. Then tried tandoori roti with paneer butter masala which was okay. Parking is a bit of an issue on the weekend. Service was good considering the crowd.Good place for non veg items.
This place serves one of the best biriyani. But i feel the taste of biriyani was slight off that day. Chicken was tender but that was bland and i couldn't feel that marination and aroma.
I will highly suggest to try chicken65 and roomali roti. You have to be very specific while picking kebabs from the menu.
Service can ve improved more and they should maintain more hygenic table cloth every time.
Parking may be an issue so park properly.
My quick review of Hotel Shadab:
Based on my personal experience, upon entering the hotel, the overwhelming crowd made me want to leave immediately. The service struggled to cope with the large number of patrons, resulting in chaos. The hygiene standards were questionable, with tablecloths covered in bones and spilled soup left unchanged. Witnessing a waiter serving leftover salad to another table was concerning, making me skeptical about the kitchen's practices.
Regarding the food, the Muslim dishes like keema nan, chicken 65, dalcha and tandoori chicken were delicious, but the biryani was disappointing. Despite its pleasant aroma, the rice was undercooked, and the dish failed to live up to the hype. I suggest trying RTC X Road Bawarchi or any Pista House biryani for a better dining experience.
Overall, while Shadab offers tasty options, its crowded and unhygienic environment, coupled with inconsistent quality, leaves much to be desired.
Decent food, that's the one good thing i took from the place. Food review is by my friends as I'm vegetarian.
There is significant wait time post 1:30pm make sure you go early. Service is slow, expect atleast 20 min wait time. The table wasn't clean either, they just change the cover and the one on our table was dirty.
Best mutton biryani from a local restaurant. The flavors of the spices were perfectly balanced, with each ingredient complementing the others. The mutton was cooked to perfection, and it was juicy and tender, with a melt-in-the-mouth texture. Overall, it was a heavenly taste experience. Note : ignore the crowd.
The tastiest mutton biryani we ever had. Must visit place for biryani if you are in old city. Startes were okay. Mutton Paya soup along with pita bread was awesome. They don't have parking space, better to park your vehicle somewhere nearby and walk to this place.
One of the iconic restaurant in Hyderabad. Love the food, love the biryani. I first visited in 2015 and even after 8 years the biryani is top notch. The place mostly remains crowded, so might have to wait a while to find a table. The restaurant staff are quite friendly too, as they make first cum first serve entry for table bookings.
I had lunch at Shadaab. Despite the long waiting line, we were fortunate to wait only for 15 minutes.
The standout dish to try is the Mutton Marg, which is incredibly delicious. Additionally, the Shadaab Special Mutton Biryani was truly delightful, and the Hyderabad Chicken Dum Biryani easily earns a 5/5 rating. The atmosphere and the staff were both commendable.
Famous restaurant in Hyderabad since long, located walking distance from charminar. Separate seating for families with a/c. Upstairs seating area is big and service is fast. Food quality and taste good
The vibe was good. You get the old authentic Hyderabad vibes. But the biriyani is overrated. I didn't enjoy the dishes as good as I heard about them. You can go and explore for one time of course.
Hyderabad ka Nishana 😀. Friday Evening Dinner during Ramadan Days...whole place was Packed and we had to wait for 45 minutes in order to get a table for 4. We had Authentic Haleem, Hyderabadi Biryani, Kababs, Chilli Paneer and so on. Good One. This was recommended by few localites as a MUST GO place near by the Charminar. Go for it 😀.
This was recommended by few local peoples as a MUST GO place near by the Charminar. Go for it 😀.
Good place for Lunch & dinner with family but has extremely tight seating due to heavy flow of people. Definitely expect at least 30 minutes of waiting time as there is always crowd here.
They have 2 sections for seating - AC and without AC.
They don't have parking space, better to park your vehicle somewhere nearby and walk to this place.
Also difficult to find parking for a 2 wheeler or a 4 wheeler.
All the foods were good the chicken biryani was so tender and delicious. In my opinion they must add 1/2 plate biryani in their menu because it's too much for single person to eat 1 plate of biryani
A famous joint to have some quality Biryani in Hyderabad. The place is a basic hotel, no one should expect an extraordinary decor but the food they serve is really amazing and the portion also is enough for 2 people😍😍
"I've visited there twice. On my first visit, I tried their Shadab Special Mutton Biryani, priced around 500 rupees. After just one bite, I realized it didn't live up to the hype. Additionally, getting a seat took quite a while, and paying the bill required locating the server who served us.During my second visit, which coincided with Ramadan, we ordered both Mutton Biryani and Chicken Biryani with double masala. The Chicken Biryani didn't impress, and while the Mutton Biryani was marginally better, it still didn't justify the hype. It seems their sales rely more on hype than on taste these days."
Hotel Shadab in Hyderabad is a popular restaurant known for its authentic Hyderabadi cuisine, especially biryani. It's located near Charminar and has been a favorite among locals and visitors for its delicious dishes. If you're in the area, it's worth trying out their biryani and other traditional Hyderabadi delicacies.
But as per my opinion, I don't like service, food quality like biryani etc.
We came all the way from Kerala and fought the heat to make sure we had the best Biriyani in Hyderabad, that too during the Ramadan month. Our expectations were high which this restaurant did not meet. It's chaos inside and the mutton biriyani came with a sour taste to it and lacked spices. Common, this can't be one of the famous Hyderbadi Biriyani. I regret not having gone to Nayaab for lunch where we had our beautiful breakfast.
If you haven't been to Shadaab (madina circle, charminar) - then you haven't ever tried authentic Hyderabadi biryani and all the other famous local cuisines - a 100+ year old restaurant.
Only sideback is the long wait time in queue to get a table, thats also coz how famous this hotel is and the rush for a try any time throughout the day (into late nite)
I recently had the displeasure of dining at Shadab Hotel, a restaurant that is known for its biryani. I was very disappointed with my experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
The first thing I noticed when I walked into the restaurant was the uncleanliness. The floors were sticky, the tables were dirty, and the chairs were stained. I was also put off by the strong smell of grease in the air.
I ordered the biryani, which is the restaurant's specialty. The biryani was served in a clay pot, and it looked very appealing. However, when I tasted it, I was very disappointed. The rice was overcooked and mushy, and the meat was dry and tough. The biryani also lacked flavor, and it was very bland.
In addition to the disappointing food, the service at Shadab Hotel was also very poor. The wait staff was inattentive and slow. I had to wait a long time for my food to arrive, and I had to ask several times for refills on my drinks.
Overall, I had a very disappointing experience at Shadab Hotel. The food was bland and poorly prepared, the service was poor, and the restaurant was unclean. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Here are some specific things that I disliked about my experience at Shadab Hotel:
* The rice in the biryani was overcooked and mushy.
* The meat in the biryani was dry and tough.
* The biryani lacked flavor and was very bland.
* The wait staff was inattentive and slow.
* The restaurant was unclean.
I would not recommend Shadab Hotel to anyone. There are many other restaurants in the area that serve better food and provide better service.
Highly recommended to visit this awesome place. The food is amazing and recommend to have their standard dum Biriyanis. I loved the chicken one and tangling kebabs.
It is amazingly crowded and hence expect some waiting.

Hyderabadi restaurant
Hotel Nayaab, located near Charminar in Hyderabad, is a historic Irani cafe known for its early morning breakfast offerings. Since 1986, it has been satisfying the taste buds of locals and visitors with authentic Indian dishes such as biryani, haleem, nahari, and Hyderabadi breakfast specialties like Khichdi-Khatta-Keema. The menu also includes modern additions alongside traditional kebabs and biryanis.
Must visit restaurant near charminar. Owner is so polite and helps you with the order.
Amazing taste, good food. Reasonable price.
imthiyaz ahmed — Google review
The food is too good. We tried mutton malai and beja fry with butter nun .The food is tasty but the price is overrated.The waiters scam the high prices if we dont check it . They scam while your are billing ,check your card bill before leaving the place . Because we also almost scammed but we have checked .The bill was 680/- but they have swiped 6800/- . So please check before leaving the place .
Probably the best Paya Nahari ever!!
Bheja fry and naan!
The malai on top of Paya seeps into the sheermal when you dip into it.
The bone just falls off the meat and don’t need to bash the bone for the marrow inside.
It just drops like Makhan
Have fun n relish it
Awesome food. Authentic Hyderabadi breakfast. Opens as early as 6am. Try to go into the AC section at the back of the hotel for a great dining experience. Portion sizes are just right so that you can have multiple dishes. Ask for parking guide.
Tried nayab famous spl malai mutton paya. Along with tandoori roti and bheja fry.
Tastes good but the bheja fry tasted like lightly uncooked but not bad.
Parking is a bit problem here. Can't stop on road or there is no proper dedicated parking.
Best place to taste Hyderabadi cuisine enjoyed food and flavours do visit this place during ramzan season you can feel the nerve of old city. Family section was available but too small to accomodate large crowd.Many celebrities do visit this place to enjoy food
Located in the old city . Hotel Nayaab should be on every foodies list.
The shop opens at 5 am and we reached by 520 and had to wait for 20 mins to get a place to sit
The popularity is a testament to the quality of the food
We ordered Paya and mutton dishes.
Every dish is amazing
Everything is prepared fresh and the place gets more crowded later on
Hotel Nayaab is one of the best places to visit for Non Vegetarian lovers especially when it comes to Biryani and Paya.
Food : Malai Paya with Butter Naan, Nihari Special Mutton Biryani, Double ka Meetha, Puding and Katha Firni
The location of hotel is quite complex but one can easily reach with help of Google map. It's quitely situated in one of the most busiest roads in Old Hyderabad near Charminar.
Food : 5/5
Ambience: 4/5
Service : 4/5
We were really happy to eat. It really blew our taste and took it to the next level.
Recommended Dishes Must Try : Malai Paya, Nihari Special Mutton Biryani, Double ka Meetha and Katha Firni
Early morning visit at 7:00 am. The prices are on a higher side. For five members bill went upto Rs. 2200/-
The cost of the items and the quantity served are inversely proportional. It's a one time visit place to experience but not a better place for nonveg breakfast. Do not expect a restaurant type ambience. On first floor there is a family section which will look like another irani chai hotel which is for family section. Car parking will be an issue and bike parking is also difficult sometimes. Suggestion: For the amount spent here for breakfast one can easily purchase kilo mutton cook and eat peacefully with family.
The best place for non veg breakfast. Don’t expect too much it will be busy crowded and food is good 👍. Always be sure what you want to eat otherwise they’ll get whatever.
I went to Nayaab to try its famous Paya and I wasn't disappointed at all. In the wee hours of evening, the restaurant was quite busy and handing over bowls of piping hot paya to the customers who had from near and far to taste this special delicacy. It was spicy, aromatic and dropping with flavour. We polished it off with the baked bread.
Another dish we happened to try here was the special Qubani ka meetha. The portion was rather huge but enough to share with another person. It was delicate, indulging and with the right amount of sweetness.
All the hype about this place is just hype. We went during the ramzan season for breakfast and they had limited items. Malai paya was not smooth in texture, it was grainy. It was double the price of regular paya just for a spoon of malai on top. Roti was rock hard, your teeth will pain by the time you finish eating one. Bheja fry was good though. Kheema and kichdi was bland and dry. Definitely not worth going that far for breakfast. Never going again.
Visited early morning
Great authentic Hyderabad Food
Must try these..
Keema & kichidi
Keema & Roti
Nahari paaya & Sheermal
With all decent pricing.
Tastes very Great,it's not spicy or heavy in the morning.
Best place for the morning non veg breakfast. You will get a lot of varities like bheja, Paya, malai paya, khichdi kheema, rumali roti , tandoori roti, pooru etc.. and the taste is also too good.
We have faced a worst situation here as the server got the normal kheema worth rs130 and the bill was made for special kheema worth rs300. Always be aware while ordering the food and inform the server what you want, they will cheat if you ask them to get what's special at their place.
Next Saturday we have been to same place to have Khichdi & Khatta also called as their special and Paya Shorba. Khicdi was not too good and Shorba was ok.
Ok, this place is worth all the hype (at least for me). Being a Hyderabadi I love non veg and what better place to have mutton for breakfast. Been visiting this place for years, and finally writing this review. Must visit place♥️
Good hearty breakfast, starts around 3am and goes on till about 10am. Paya nihari was amazing and so was gurda fry, bheja masala was ok, just get the bheja fry instead.
Didn't expect this from Hotel Nayaab especially after so many viral videos on
insta and youtube recommending this place. I order double masala mutton biryani, nayab special chicken curry and bheja fry and butter naan.. mutton biryani taste and quantity not great when you spent 350/- nayab special chicken was aweful, chicken pieces aren't cooked properly. I ordered butter naan I got tandoor rotis .. worst experience no wonder the hotel was empty on a Sunday afternoon around 12:30 pm bcs of this taste and quality of Products.. I'm definetly not going to this place again and will never recommend to anyone . I wish I can give 0 rating.
This was not as great as we thought it to be. We ordered paya nihari with sheermal naan and dum ka mutton with tandoori roti. Paya nihari was average and dum ka mutton wasn't good. Based on our experience, we decided we didn't want to go to this place again.
We went for dinner. We also asked for kababs and they said kababs were available in the morning. So if you are looking for kababs at Nayab, go there accordingly.
Service was good, staff helped us pick the dishes.
I decided to kickstart my weekend by exploring Nayab near Charminar in Hyderabad, curious to experience their breakfast spread. The star of the show was undoubtedly the Mutton Paya—a flawless dish that left nothing to critique. The flavors were exquisite, and finding a flaw was nearly impossible. However, the accompanying Sheermal bread, meant for dipping into the Paya, fell short. Its texture was disappointingly tough, detracting from the overall experience.
Thankfully, the Tandoori Roti served at Nayab was a highlight, offering a commendable taste when enjoyed fresh at the restaurant. Yet, it's worth noting that the quality slightly diminished when packed for takeout.
The Malai Paya, unfortunately, didn't live up to expectations during my visit. I'd advise giving it a pass unless there have been improvements since then. On the brighter side, the Beja Fry held its own among the standout dishes with its excellent taste and preparation.
A cup of Irani Chai was a delightful addition to the meal, boasting an excellent flavor profile. However, the Osmania Biscuits served alongside seemed to be of old stock, lacking the freshness that would have complemented the chai experience.
Regrettably, I missed out on their Biryani, as it's only available after 12:30 pm—a reason to plan another visit to sample this highly anticipated dish.
In essence, Nayab near Charminar offers a mixed bag of culinary experiences. While some dishes like the Mutton Paya and Beja Fry excel, others such as the Sheermal and Malai Paya might need a bit of improvement to match the standard set by their best offerings. If you're there for breakfast, aim for the classics and wait until the Biryani hour strikes to savor their renowned specialty.
Nayaab has really given me an experience to remember. Their mutton biryani was supple and gave an intense aroma. Every grain of rice has spice and flavour. You could feel the heat in the atmosphere. We even tried their malai paya and bheja fry. The bheja fry was as soft and supple as a pillow, it's a must try. Their Paya has great flavour but, the gravy of the malai paya was plain and basic. The staff was quick and helpful. There is a special air conditioned section for families to sit and dine in. Must visit at least once.
We visited this place at 5.30AM for breakfast and the dishes were Tasty and different from regular hyderbadi curries and rotis.
Malayi paya , Bheja fry, Gurda fry, kichidi, dum ka kheema, Tandoori roti are must try dishes and also spice levels are (2/3).
The Ambience is not so appealing but they have separate AC dining section for family.
Stopped by this place during a visit to the historic Charminar area during the month of Ramadan and ordered their Mutton Nihari with Sheermal and a side dish of Bheja Fry.
For the uninitiated, Mutton Nihari is a stew of slow-cooked meat, mainly shanks, and is known for its spiciness, taste, texture, and gravy.
Sheermal is a traditional flatbread, with the name coming from the Persian words 'sheer', meaning milk, and 'malidin', meaning to rub, so sheermal literally translates to "milk-rubbed". Sheermal is soft and fluffy, and slightly sweet.
Bheja Fry is a Hyderabadi speciality, consisting of the brains of goat or sheep, scrambled with spices and then fried, and cooked in gravy.
The restaurant is small and has limited tables. There is considerable rush during the month of Ramadan and the location on a busy street does not help either. It's chaos inside and out. That said, the sheermal-nihari combination was outstanding. I didn't like the bheja fry much - can't really put a finger on what was wrong with the dish though. Kindly note that the serving quantity is more like 2-3 table spoons worth. Washed everything down with a piping hot cup of Irani Chai and I was done.
Hotel Nayab in Hyderabad is the go to spot for a hearty breakfast. They have one of the best Irani Tea in Hyderabad.Their mutton paya with roti and mutton kheema paired with khichdi katta are exceptional. Having such a meaty breakfast at 4 am may seem odd but if you're a meat lover it's absolutely worth it!
Phenomenal experience. Top notch food, Great variety and fine value old Authentic menu. Exciting food with high quality I always take my out of town guests here…
Mutton malai paya which is famous in nayab was not so great (Maybe since I personally don't enjoy mutton much).
Egg biryani was decent.
Overall it's a once try I would say.
Best authentic Muslim dishes available in this place from 4 AM to 11 PM. 4 Am breakfast is very special and it's too crowded despite the huge seating area on two floors.
Dishes are very authentic and you could feel the aroma of the fresh spices in your taste buds. Although there is a big menu for the regular people, i recommend a few as must try for the first-time goers.
Of them beja fry, mutton keema with khichdi, Puri keema, malai paya and regular paya with special bread or rumali roti. Dum ka mutton with khichdi are must try dishes.
This restaurant is very old and run by the same family for generations so the taste and quality is maintained consistently over the years.
This place is one of the best bets for the tourists to have delicious food. Hyderabad is the city of biryanis which is famous worldwide but for even more authentic delicacies there are a few restaurants like this one and every one should dine hear atleast one in a lifetime.
All in all i love food in this place and i take all my friends who visit Hyderabad to this restaurant.
Place wise this is a bit untidy but what can you to a place with crowded for almost 20 hours a day. 😁

3Famous Ice Cream
cheap
Ice cream shop
Famous Ice Cream, located in Moazzam Jahi market in Nampally, Hyderabad, has been a popular spot for over 80 years. Known for its hand-churned seasonal fruit ice creams made without colors or preservatives, this establishment caught the attention of locals when it first opened in 1951. The unique flavors crafted from local produce draw dessert lovers from all over the city to this unassuming yet beloved spot.
It's been my favourite ice cream spot since childhood.
One of the ages old places in the city to have ice creams in all different flavours and fruits...This place is popular for its delicious and authentic ice creams as the name rightly says ''Famous Ice cream". Now u get a variety of kababs grills momos chats etc at the same square.
Also the view is just cool to see on one side we have the clock tower, flag. It is located in the old city. The ambience is also very unique here, although located in a heavy traffic area, it is a peaceful place with the majestic and iconic dome shaped monument built years ago. Overall it's a very nice place to enjoy with your family and friends.

Famous ice cream, i heard it is the most famous ice cream centre in Hyderabad. It's located in Nampally. Ambience is very good here. Ice cream was not delicious. Evening view was good here. During evening time walls and clock tower looks beautiful from tables.
May be our expectations were more as it is famous ice cream point.. We ordered special famous ice cream and a custord apple flavour. Fruit flavour was bit ok, but the famous special ice cream was not upto the mark. Couldn't have it completely. Service was good.

Taste - 2

We all friends visited here most this month.. after attending our academy classes..i experienced the taste of chat..the taste is good. we enjoyed very much n also celebrate one of my friend's birthday by cutting cake 🎂🎉🥳🥳
Finally visited the most "Famous" ice cream shop.
Nice place, always buzzing with people.
Tried the Famous Special ice cream. Comes with three flavours. Quantity is a bit high, but taste not up to the mark.
Budget friendly Dessert spot in Hyd with various flavours that we can opt here as there are many parlours available here and different commodities of pupils will be spotted here.
I would like to thank the TS govt for reorganizing this place as a chilling spot with a vibe of London Streets.
Better to improve the parking place and have a little more cleanliness in this area.
I think Ice cream 🍨 is the only one which will elect Unanimously in competition with others.
If such support has an another level then it becomes "Fruit Ice cream"
As the names suggests, Famous ice cream serves such elevated level of our most loved one.It is made from the natural Fruits without any artificial flavours.
All of this experience comes at a competitive price.
So if you ever go to Nampally or nearby area,
I would suggest to visit and cast your vote 😉
Famous Ice Cream Is famous for a reason. Excellent taste and freshness of the ice cream is just refreshing. However, the place is pretty busy during the weekend nights. I have tried the “Famous Special” out of the menu which costed me 120₹ and trust my word its worth it!
Happy Dining.
who would not want to enjoy the delicious ice creams being at the monumental site huh? add it up on your list!
this place serves hand churned ice creams. the night lighting is pleasantly attractive to visit this place as well.
A beautiful and stunning location one to enjoy old Hyderabad vibes. I’m sure the place is best enjoyed during evenings and when it is lit up. Coming to ice cream I tried litchi pound ice cream which was quite average and honeymoon delight was excellent. Irrespective of taste both the ice cream where super creamy and delightful
It is one of my favorite ice cream spot—they offering ice creams in various flavors and fruits. Now, it's not just about ice cream; you can also enjoy a variety of chats, kebabs, grills, momos, and more. The view is cool, with the clock tower and flag on one side and metros passing by every few minutes on the other. This beautiful and stunning location give you some peaceful vibes, especially enjoyable in the evenings when it's lit up. As for the ice cream, the litchi pound was average, fruit ice creams were pretty good the honeymoon delight was excellent. Regardless of taste, both were super creamy and delightful.
Located in the old city, This place is popular for its delicious and authentic ice creams as the name rightly says ''Famous Ice cream". It's indeed the go to choice for many Hyderabadis to have some scoops of that thick cream here. The ambience is also very unique here, although located in a heavy traffic area, it is a peaceful place with the majestic and iconic dome shaped monument built years ago. Overall it's a very nice place to enjoy with your family and friends.
As the name says, this is the most famous ice cream palour in hyderabad.
If you are an ice-cream lover, then you definitely must give it a try.
Talking about the ice cream, no compromise in taste and quality.
It's just amazing!!!
You can come here by hyd metro
Assembly metro station is the nearest.
Ice cream here is sold in wholesale (min quantity of kg if parcel)
Tried vanilla,chocolate,strawberry, honeymoon delight, mango, and custard flavors!
Ambiance is also good
You can have the ice cream with the amazing view of clocktower!❤️
Not as good as hyped by my friend, can visit with friends momos, pavbhaji are good and Ice creams are just delicious need to experience.
I tried here sithaphal and mango ice cream scoops each of them are delicious 😋 and pulpe of the fruits are present in every spoon of bite..
Must try every one
Good place for having an ice-cream. One of the most famous place in Hyderabad. It's has an pleasant atmosphere with good view. The building looks amazing. Dining outside is only possible.. good metal chairs gave an beautiful ambient.

Ice cream shop
Bilal Ice Cream, located in the grand clock tower of Mozzam Jahi Market, offers a delightful array of homemade ice cream flavors. From seasonal specialties like Mango and Chikoo to all-time favorites like Paan, there's something for every palate. The parlour also serves old-school Sunades and recently introduced Turkish Icecream. In addition to ice cream, they offer Momos, Pani Puri, Pav Bhaji, and Chaat items.
The place was good and the ice creams are tasty especially the sithaphal. The place was like a vintage fort. They do have momos, shawarma and chats available here
uday bhaskar — Google review
Every bite was just pure joy. I tried their dark devil triple sundae which had two scoops of chocolate with one scoop of vanilla. The sweetness was just the right amount. And the scoops had a little jelly-like texture, kind of similar to what you'd find at dolce gelato. If you're near Nampally or MJ Market, would definitely recommend going here for a nice dessert. Ideally, go in the evening.
Came here on a busy Ramadan evening around 10PM. Best thing now is that there is car parking available. Service was a bit slow as it was fairly crowded. Prices are very low compared to some major ice cream chains around. They do offer Chaat items as well. Forgot to click the picture of the menu.
Taste was good. Quantity was sufficient. The staff were courteous and helpful.
I'd suggest to stop here for an ice-cream treat whenever you're in the vicinity.
Bilal Ice Cream serves natural made best ice creams and mostly the seasonal ones. Sitaphal, Anjeer, Chikoo & Muskmelon are must try.
At Bilal's,they prepare their own icecreams which come in so many flavours.It's located in the left corner of MJ market facing the Nampally road.The starting price of icecream is 50/- ..I have tasted almost every flavour here being a regular visitor and an icecream lover.We usually go for our favourites Dryfruit Sensation and Anjeer Badam.. They've included Turkish Icecream recently and it's fun seeing kids enjoying it.We even get Momos,Pani Puri,PavBhaji,Chat..A very good place to hangout once the sun goes down
Bilal Ice Cream: A heavenly treat for ice cream lovers. Creamy, flavorful scoops that melt in your mouth. The view is so good out there. A must-visit for indulging in delightful frozen delights.
Situated in Mozamjahi market Hyderabad, this place is nice to chill out with your friends & family. Although I have heard a lot about this place as famous for ice creams, which I found totally overhyped. We tried many ice cream flavours especially.. their famous Sitaphal ice cream which was not so good. The prices are bit high for the quantity & quality. Don’t try their North Indian Chaat & snacks, not good at all. If you want to experience the ambiance, hustle bustle of old city Hyderabad, then visit this place, also instead you can try other juice centres & ice cream parlours nearby!! This place is definitely not worth the hype.
Its a good place to enjoy some ice creams. Nothing exceptional thought but one can look to enjoy some stuff from here This parlour is very famous once and the quantity and quality was good before but now both have decreased.Unique menu, great service, good crowd even at midnight"
"I was blown away by the consistency and the flavor this place."
"Amazing tasty ice cream at amazing prices at amazing location
5 out and out points:-
1) Best Ambience, more beautiful at night.
2) Fast Service.
3) Cost effective.
4) Must try Sithaphal icecream ♥️ I bet it will become your favourite. 🥰
5) Mango flavour in Split wide open icecream and can try any chocolate flavours, gonna be one of the best.
Bilal Ice Cream is one of the oldest and most popular ice cream parlour in Hyderabad. They have many varieties in ice cream. The taste is delicious and arrangement is in open roof. Must visit shop for ice cream in Hyderabad. Ambience is historic and location is massive.
Bilal's Ice cream one of the oldest delicacies of Hyderabad situated in mojamjahi market.
This place is huge, aesthetic and has a retro/old vibe to it. The walls are amazing.
The inside is well crafted and looks like a museum.
So we had ice creams and the flavours they have for us to choose from is amazing.
They have flavours no others have and they were very rich and dense in flavour.
It's better to visit at night time. So that we can enjoy the weather and lights were beautiful. Service was very fast. Taste of food is also so good. Ice creams were really good. I ordered Sundae just loved the taste. Rates are also responsible. Must visit.

5Govind Ki Bandi
affordable
Breakfast restaurant
South Indian restaurant
Forget about your healthy intentions and make a beeline for Govind Ki Bandi, a popular street stall in the Charminar neighborhood. You'll easily spot it as there will be an abundance of people gathered around, eagerly waiting to devour their delectable dosas and tawa idlys. If you're concerned about calories or butter, simply close your eyes while they prepare your order.
Wide range of dosa's and idlis are served here.. one cannot just control the taste bud after the first serve.
mehul jain — Google review
Very expensive, go for the taste and not to fill your tummy.
I need to spend 300+ for properly fill my tummy.
but the taste is phenomenal that you forget about the price. I've never had idlis that tasted this good.
This place is kind of over hyped, not worth the hype, he just uses a ton of butter on every dosa and idly, the man squeezes the tomato on the dosa kind of not very pleasing to the eyes. The service is kind of pathetic because they ignore the first come first serve rule and just serve those people who are closer to them. You can give this place a miss.
Just like how the Ram ki Bandi is famous for its Dosas and the early morning rush, Govind Anna's Bandi is known for its speciality Idli. The most loved being their Tawa Masala Idli. I tried many things here but was indulged in the mushy soft Idlis so much so that I forgot to click them. :)
The chutney too needs a special mention and compliments. So good!
Govind Ki Bandi is a popular breakfast spot near Charminar in Hyderabad. It is known for its delicious dosas, idlis, and vadas. The dosas are made with fresh batter and are served with a variety of chutneys and sambar. The idlis are soft and fluffy, and the vadas are crispy and delicious.
It is always packed with customers. The service is quick and efficient, and the prices are reasonable.
Have heard so much about Govind ki Bandi so decided to visit this place when I was in Hyderabad. This place is just a few meters away from the Charminar.
So I ordered their famous Govind dosa, it was good in taste and different from the ordinary where they put little Upma in it.
The cost of one dosa was 80₹ which was very expensive to pay for a small dosa which wasn’t even 20cm of dia.
So, the hype is not worth it. Still, you can just try to experience the hype.
Another awesome road side cuisine available in Hyderabad. You can try Idly, Dosa, Uttapam at an economical cost. The taste is just so so yum.😍😋❤️😍
I live in Delhi and big chain like Haldiram’s and Bikanervala are also failed in front of this. They serve so hopeless South Indian. They can also be called as Farzi South Indian restaurants.
Govind Dosa is just ecstatic. Go early morning after a morning walk or after your late night shift and you will get foodgasm. They serve so delicious South Indian cuisine which you cannot resist. Butter Idly is my favourite.
Sampling the delights of Govind, a humble street stand, was a genuine taste of South India during my travels. I savored the Panner Butter Govind Dosa and Butter Idly, both bursting with local flavors that left my taste buds delighted. It's a slice of authentic culinary heaven that embodies the essence of the region.
However, be prepared for a touch of chaos during the ordering process, as the bustling street scene can make it a bit disorganized. Patience is key, as the waiting time might extend, but the reward is well worth it. Govind offers a genuine and delectable South Indian experience that's a must-try for any tourist exploring the local cuisine.
A must visit place for breakfast near Charminar if you are a fan of both south indian & thela food😜 don't judge the food by it's place or location. Go for the sheer experience of excitement, service & Govind's hospitality.....and some Amazing DOSAS
Had their karram idly and schezuan dosa. Idly was ok, dosa was really good. Getting here is very tough and parking is impossible unless you opt for the paid parking adjacent to the bandi.
Here you can find dosa idly in format of Street food if you fond of Street food you can try this place. No sambar is available only chatni is there. No seating is available. The dosa and idli are good to taste
Had Idli and Butter dosa there, tbh taste is okay but it's overpriced now as it costed 100 rs just for small dosa. Plus it was not very hygienic.
Simply not worth the hype, price.
Not recommended!
In recent days many street vendors got famous due to YouTube videos and instagram and this is one of them.
Its a street shop selling dosa and Idli,hygiene needs to be improve little bit,also price looks little above for the stuff they are selling but taste was good and also quality of ingredients used,no short of customer,making dosa and Idli continuously without stopping due to heavy foot fall.
Can recommend to try once when in old city for an experience.
