Hyderabad Darbar Upton Park

Very good restaurant in green street, authentic Indian cuisine, tasty food and good quality, value for money, with generous portions. Services are great, thanks to sumayah who helped us with any request. Sauces and salad can be improved. Seating areas at the back near the washroom would be ideal with a small partition.

I usually go to this restaurant to dine in, and the food has always been very good. However, I was quite disappointed with my recent takeaway order, which was meant for my husband's birthday. The lamb biryani we received was not up to their usual standard—it seemed like it had come from the bottom of the pot, with the rice all stuck together and overly sticky. To make matters worse, I tried calling the restaurant for over an hour to place the order, but the line was constantly busy. When I finally got there and mentioned the issue, one of the staff members just said he didn’t know and that there was nothing he could do. Very disappointing, especially given how much we've enjoyed dining in before.

I usually don’t write reviews, but this time I had to. I found a dead fly in the middle of my biryani — absolutely unacceptable. This isn’t just bad service, it’s a clear violation of basic hygiene and food safety. It’s shocking that something like this could make it into a customer’s order. I lost my appetite immediately and threw the whole meal away. If this is the level of care going into the food, I won’t be risking my health by ordering again. Please take this seriously and fix your kitchen hygiene before someone gets seriously sick.
