Being from Hyderabad, I missed that authentic biryani taste so much. After coming to the USA, I never found anything close. After three years here, this is truly the best biryani I have had in the USA.

Have loved it every time I’ve been here. We’ve had the triple five appetizer. It reminds me of P.F. Chang’s Kung Pao Chicken but better. The garlic Naan is fantastic! The chicken tikka masala, mango lassi and rose milk are great! My husband likes the Biryani.

Food is 10/10. Seasoned as if it was homemade and portions are crazy !! Two people can eat from one entree for sure. Fancy looking restaurant, looks elegant. I think experience could be elevated with more ambient lighting. Service was good.

I read several of the reviews so I went in expecting the service to be slow and it was. However the food was top-notch! I ordered the chicken korma with mild spice. The chicken was tender. The garlic nan bread was very tasty too. I would definitely go back to taste more of the menu as long as I have time to wait.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal. A special shout-out to Maha, our waitress — she was absolutely outstanding. Her service was attentive without being intrusive, she checked on us at the right moments, offered great recommendations, and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Her friendly attitude and professionalism made the entire experience even better. Highly recommend this place, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Maha as your server!

If you’re craving authentic Hyderabadi flavors in St. Louis, Nawabs Hyderabad House is a must-visit. The biryani is the star of the show — perfectly layered, aromatic, and packed with bold, traditional spices that truly capture the taste of Hyderabad. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous. We also tried the butter chicken and garlic naan, both of which were fresh and delicious. The curries have a rich, well-balanced flavor without being overly heavy. Spice levels are customizable, which is great whether you prefer mild or extra heat. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff was happy to make recommendations. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming — perfect for both dine-in and takeout. Overall, Nawabs Hyderabad House delivers authentic taste, good value, and satisfying portions. Definitely one of the best spots for Indian cuisine in the St. Louis area!
