~Abidi's Virsa-e-Deccan, Rd No. 2 Banjara Hills~ Last Saturday (2nd August, 2025), we, 4 friends, went to Abidi's Virsa-e-Deccan for dinner. We reached around 10 PM, and were seated promptly. The decor gives a royal feel and feels comfortable. Comfort seemed to be the top most priority as tables had enough spaces between them (so you can chat freely), chairs and sofas were very comfortable, and they had a small yet lovely waiting lounge (which is a great place for photos/ selfies). We ordered the following (each one portion/ serving)-- 1. Mutton Marag: It was extremely good. The thickness was proper, the taste was bang on, and had some chunky mutton pieces. Simply superb. 2. Patthar ka Gosth: It tasted really good. The mutton pieces were properly cooked also. However, I personally felt it was a bit drier than usual (probably I am just nitpicking here). 3. Murg Malai Tikka: Again, an excellent dish. Kababs were soft, melt-in-mouth and rightly spiced (neither too sweet nor too spicy); and thank God that like most places, here it is not covered with a thick layer of cream-on-top!!! 4. Mutton Zaffrani Biryani (full): Hands-down one of the best biryanis in this part of the town, and comparable to the legends such as Cafe Bahar or Shadaab or Bawarchi. Rightly spiced, no extra dose of red chilli powder-- the way authentic Hyderabadi zaffrani biryani should be. (I personally conveyed my feedback and heartfelt thanks to the manager for such lovely biryani). 5. Zaffrani Kheer: It was good. Could have been a bit thicker, and better. Overall, it was a really nice meal. Service was very prompt, courteous. The manager and a gentleman (probably the owner) asked us multiple times whether everything was ok or not. And we chatted for long, and yet they never hurried the meal. Big thanks for that. The bill for all above (along with 3 cold drinks and couple of water bottles) came as 2600+. The only slight disappointment was, they didn’t accept the Zomato discoint. They explained us how Zomato runs those offer without even consulting them!! Overall, a great place and I am looking forward to a second visit.

Stepping into this authentic Hyderabadi fine dine is like being transported to the era of the Nizams — regal interiors, intricate details, and a sense of timeless grandeur. The ambience beautifully complements the rich culinary traditions of Hyderabad. We began our meal with the soulful Marag Soup, a perfect start to the royal spread. The succulent kebabs were tender and flavourful, while the crackling luqmi offered just the right crunch with its savoury filling. The legendary Haleem lived up to its name, slow-cooked to perfection with velvety textures. Among the curries, the Shadiwala Red Chicken stood out — bold, festive, and reminiscent of wedding feasts. Of course, no Hyderabadi experience is complete without Dum Biryani, and here it was the highlight — fragrant, layered, and indulgent. To end on a sweet note, we savoured Apricot Delight and the classic Qubani ka Meetha — both rich, indulgent, and true to tradition. A dining experience that seamlessly blends heritage, flavour, and elegance — truly fit for royalty.

Great place for authentic Hyderabadi Food beyond Biryani. The menu is beautifully curated with offerings which are hard to find even in old city. ( marag, khubooli, char koni naan, mutton lukhmi, etc.)
