I tried Biriyani at Paradise, Shadab, Shah Ghouse etc. but Zaiqa is the best. Ambience, Cleanliness and Food are very good. Try Patthar ka ghost, Mutton Biriyani and end it with Double Ka Mittha. Next time in Hyderabad, I will go again.
The Ambience, Food and Service are excellent. Good Nizami experience.
Was looking for a new place to have my dinner today, and then I chose, Zaiqa-e-Hyderabad.
This hotel, ambience wise delicately designed with wall decors on all the four sides. The crowd was peaceful, unlike all the busy buzzing restaurants/hotels.
We had ordered:
1. Haleem (starters)
2. Masala Tawa Fish (starters)
3. Hussaini Murgh Masala (Main Course)
4. Tandoori Roti
5. Chicken Dum Biryani
6. Rabdi Anarsa
7. Double Ka Meetha
Taste wise, everything was just up-to the mark, with brilliant blend of flavours. Haleem, was star of the menu for me, and this spot is definitely recommended from my end if you wish to have Haleem, on any other day apart from the Holy Month of Ramadan.
Hussaini Murgh, on the other end, was succulent, brilliantly cooked with a tangy-yet sweet gravy, on the whole a new flavour for my taste buds.
Desserts, were great too. You can try both the desserts that I have ordered, and they will be worth your try.
Ambience- 4.5/5
Pricing-4/5
Taste-5/5
The food was absolutely wonderful,
especially enjoyed the mutton biryani ...
Service was awesome
Will be back definitely!
March 4th: I visited today and though the service was better the food was pretty good. Haleem was excellent, tala hua gosht was very good and the mutton was soft. We ordered Hussaini chicken with lacha paratha and it was pretty good... The waiter didn't hear the order clearly as I repeated several times about the beverages we ordered and he was going to replace it when we stopped him from wasting another one to replace. Overall good was good, so the rest is okay
Feb 22: Above average overall, but service is a huge let down. Starters were ok, biryani was not so great, service was pathetic
Good ambience.family place. Nice menu.
Most authenticate Hyderabadi cuisine.We came regularly here. Most Humble staff and Quality of Food is great. Best for Family gathering.Must visit Place.
I simple loved whatever they served.The taste is very different and amazing.The non veg as well as veg starters were delicious.I had never had more tasty team lunch.Had it been near to my house i would have come more often.One of the few places where both quantity and quality are great.Staff is polite and court.Ambience is okayish but it didn't matter because i was so immersed in the food.Wish i had a bigger belly to eat more 😁.Please allow to upload more photos Zomato..because i clicked so many with so much love HaHa!!
I have visited this restaurant with my sister.It is a perfect place to have mughlai cuisine.We had ordered for haleem (must try), nalli nihari and roti. The food will give a royal feeling to ur taste buds. The price is taken care of along with the service. I would love to visit the place again.
The name itself is Shaan 😊 Zaiqa-e-Hyderabad its one of the fine dining in the center of the city.
Must try Mughlai dishes and the Biryani it was the yummiest wat i had over there.
Ambiance was awesome with nizam vibes
Will definitely visit again to dig in the different food in the menu 🙈
Zaiqa-e-hyderabad is so true to its name. Truly the taste of Hyderabad. This is one fine dining restaurant where you get to taste the authentic Hyderabadi cuisine. It is ideally located and so easily accessible from most parts of the city. If you are a visitor to Hyderabad, then it should be on your must visit restaurant’s list.
Must have dishes here are Luqmi, biryani (the mirchi ka saalan served as accompaniment is best in the world 🤩) , shikampur, and badam ka kund for dessert.
Had naan and kheema. Both done to perfection, service was good. Place looks upmarket. Premium pricing but well worth the spend.
Will come back for sure again.
Food is excellent. Mantu service is excellent. He was very friendly. We are very happy.

One of the best place to have authentic Mughlai dishes.. Here first I tried Yakhni pulao which is made with mutton, along with that they gives Mirchi ka salan and raita.. Thats the yummiest Mirchi salan I have ever had.. The place is also nicely done, it will gives u a certain vintage vibes. the only which they needs to improve is the service, it's very very slow.. But food wise worth pay a visit if you are near Banjara hills..
Food : 4/5
Service : 3.5/5
Ambience : 4/5
Value for money : 4/5
Now I finally know why I keep coming back to this awesome restaurant. ..Zaiqa E Hyderabad ! It has always been my favourite place! The quality of Indian Hyderabadi food is unmatched from the succulent kebabs and melt in the mouth tender mutton and chicken masalas and gravies. ..to the hot naans and laccha parathas.. all of it was simply finger licking delicious. Was too full to try the desserts else I would have had the baadaam kund and the kubhani ka meetha. The added advantage is comfortable seating with large sized tables that makes you enjoy your meal without playing “poke your elbows with your neighbors “ A very hygienic kitchen and a neat and clean hand wash and toilets. Courteous service good ambience soft and soothing background music with valet car parking are it’s other advantages. A must visit place for true blue Hyderabadi foodies!
This is one of those places serving authentic hyderabadi cuisine.
Their specialty is that they have haleem round the year. I'm not kidding! They serve haleem through out the year and it really tastes amazing. I really appreciate them for maintaining the consistency.
When ever I'm craving haleem, I visit them. I also love the Kacchi Yakhni biryani which is a Nizami stuoe mutton biryani. It is really balanced, as it is not too spicy.
Recently, I also tried - bagara baigan with naan. It was really delicious. I wasn't really expecting it to be that good.
If you're looking for a place serving authentic hyderabadi food and craving haleem any day, this is the place.
This is one of the best places in hyderabad for food. Especially their Barkati mutton is really awesome. Spent good time there
we went in with a normal expectation of the restaurant. It turned out to be one of the best dine-in places of Hyderabad. We tasted haleem, mutton biryani, and badam halwa... we are super happy with the portions, taste, serving and ambiance. !!!
I went to Zaiqa-e-Hyderabad after a tiring exam and hungry stomach, it's situated right opposite to my college and was pocket friendly for biryani.
If you are away home and miss maa ki haath ka biryani, please go visit Zaiqa.
This place is beautiful and located in the middle of the city. It's a small and cozy place with a road view, and the ambience is spectacular. For me Biryani should leave those flavours after finishing the plate, and Zaiqa is one such place where I am going back sometime very soon. The fried onions were tried to perfection, the rice were cooked beautifully with tender chicken pieces in them. The masala had proper Dum in it just like our authentic hyderabadi biryani. This place is usually busy on weekends and weekday nights, but for peaceful lunch it's the best.
Overall, it was great! And can give a 5 star rating.
Zaiqa-E-Hyderabad has a great taste for hyderabadi flavour.
The infamous dum biryani was spot on as there was no scope for error.
The kebabs were instantly hot and perfectly cooked.
The add ons were only on demand, which is not really hyderabadi.
But overall, being situated right next to a Biryani competitor, Zaika takes away the cherry for much better ambience than its competition.
Awesome food.....and i love the tast.....and it's my fav restaurant in banjara hills. ..and i like mostly chicken dum briyani. ..and it was very neat..to eat..
one of the bestest restaurant we had ever been to....we are not from india residing in banjara hills for few days and roaming around like aliens we didnt know where to go and we landed in this heavenly place.. beautiful ambience and Mr.Pradeep khosla no words for this man.... he gave his seat when we requested for a corner seat and such a loving person poocho math..i felt like i went to my parents home.. i love love love this place highly recommended.. and last but not the least never forget to try there raitha.....in a single sentence this place is heaven on earth...especially for NRI's highly recommeded.
I tried Pattar Gosh with Kacchi Yakhi Biryani.
The food was awesome & Delicious 😋
Biryani is superb tasty with soft mutton pieces(lamb).
I enjoyed a lot, but little expensive.
If anyone wants to try different Taste. Here is the place.
This is an upscale restaurant for authentic nawabi styled food, with an awesome ambiance, depicting the by gone era of Nizamian times.
The cuisine is simply awesome taste wise and presentation wise, hence nothing can disappoint anyone here.
Haleem is the best in taste, followed by starters like Himayati Aloo(Veg), Zafrani Tikka are outstanding. Biryanis are a true delight to any taste bud, Mutton Biryani being the best and Chicken dum Biryani being delicious. Do try Anda Biryani which takes you to a different taste level. Gravy Dishes are rich in make and taste with correct spices. Your experience will be sweetened by the richest Kubani Ka Meeta ever made in Hyderabad.
Kudos to the whole team at Zaiqa-E-Hyderabad.
If u ever wanna eat proper Muslim marriage style biryani then this is the place
Their menu mostly comprises of dishes which are seen in Muslim marriages
Shikampur is very good here
And both chicken and mutton biryani tastes amazing here
And they serve 365 day haleem 😀
Finally, the plan to visit this place worked out. Went there along with my family. Name of restaurant truly fits the meaning- food taste is awesome. Ordered maragh, fish fry, and hazrati chicken curry, all which were lip smacking. Ambience is good. Flow of people speaks for the popularity the restaurant enjoys. Service was good but can be improved - it took them 30 mins to serve maragh. In my view prices are a bit high given the quantity of food, should cost 20%. However, quality of food over rides everything else.
Got take away of their tandoori chicken and it was great. Especially the skin on the chicken was so flavourful and juicy, a must try indeed. Would definitely want to try more of their stuff next time!
Zaiqa-e-Hyderabad was an experience!
Ambience- Modernish with medieval touches. I loved the decor, the mismatch chairs- none of them were uncomfortable, as you might sometimes expect with "mismatch chairs". The lights, the view outside just blended in with the inside, as if on a canvas.
The food-
Sona zafrani chicken- tasteful, succulent but not all great pieces. 3.5/5
Masala coke, Victoria, Pudina nimbu- all three good
Paigah murgh- tomato cashew gravy, this was the only savoury option at the time, wasnt all that great. Pieces were good. 3/5
Rumali- Okay but huge.
Naans- garlic and butter, both were the highlight. Crispy, yet fluffy soft. Best naans I've had in the city. 4/5
The washroom- needs special mention. Shows thought went into the decor. There's a mural of charminar on one huge wall and birds and flowers on another. Good selfie spots. Loved it, loved the little sink arrangement too. 5/5
One of the finest dining restaurant and every Hyderabadi will love this place absolutely nothing to hate, great ambiance too a must visit place
One of the Finest Dining Restaurant in Hyderabad. Inherited the tasty 😋 cooking style from the cook 👨🍳 of Nizam the chef serves deliciousness on plate. The Paneer handi and Anda naan are finger licking and must have, mutton is also delicious, a must visit for non veg and veg lovers equally. You’re most welcome :) love Ashish
Love this place for Marag ( forgot to click🤦🏻♀️) , pattar ka gosh which just melts 😋, Mirch ka Salan, Badam Kund( again forgot to click the moment I saw the dish🤪)
I always ask anyone visiting Hyderabad to try this restaurant before they leave. A must for a bimonthly visit for me.
One of the best restaurants visited in this year. Wonderful Ambience and of course Tasty Food.
Food:-
Their USP is that they serve Haleem throughout the year. It tasted delicious.
Ordered Shikampuri, Sheek Kebab and Chicken 65 in the starters. Shikampuri was melt in the mouth and tasted heavenly. Remaining starters were equally good but Shikampuri is top notch.
In the Main Course, ordered their signature Mutton Biryani with double masala. Wasn't spicy but could enjoy the flavours.
Reducing 1 star for their less quantities and high pricing.
Zaiqa-E-hyderabad the place located at banjarahills road no 3, being a biryani lover had a chicken dum biryani over here, quality and test is awesome rich test of mirch ka salan and raitha, cool ambiance, excellent service, friendly staff , overall superb expirance .
A good fine dining experience with perfect Hyderabadi food.. Decent ambience and quick service.. Haleem is available all round the year and it tasted good. Mutton Sheek Kebab was tasty too.. The Badami Chicken curry was decent too.. Will surely visit again for few more dishes.
I have been wanting to try this place always as they serve haleem 365 days. Been here for dinner.The place looks calm and soothing. Ordered haleem and mutton biryani. Haleem was tasty and mutton biryani was good with right amount of spices and tender mutton pieces. Service was quick and good. Prices are a bit higher but worth the quality and quantity.
Lipsmacking Haleem, finger liking good starters and Biryani with balanced spices and pieces cooked right.
Thank you zaiqa for a great Haleem!!
Went on a family dinner . The place is good and family friendly . staff were courteous . We ordered sonar chicken kabab ,chicken and mutton biriyani and for dessert we had double ka meetha . The biriyani was good not so spicy and one plate was more than enough for two person ..
Overall a good place to eat out

A classy Hyderabadi restaurant I’ve visited lately. Just loved the food and Ambience, simple menu with limited dishes but each one stands out for itself. I always wanted to have “Shikampuri” but never got a chance before. This place served a great Shikampuri and I would love to try it again❤️. One of the very few places that serves “Marag” and it was on to the point👌🏼 “ Chicken Biryani” was very authentic not so spicy but reflects the great quality of their service

We went on Friday evening for dinner...the place is decent and peaceful being at the prime location of Banjara Hills...the staffs were very active and quick..we had chicken biryani which was decent...then Haleem for which you should visit this place because it’s really good if you are a Haleem fan...we had malai murgh in starters which was good as well...so overall the food is really tasty and worth visiting...🤩
Good place for haleem ,paya, marag and biryani .
Paya is little bit expensive compared to the others .
You can feel the real floavors of hyderabad.
I would call the biryani as pleasant? It’s not too spicy not too bland taste is perfect for the crowd on an average. The cleanliness and surroundings are slick. Best starter - murgh malai kebab.
Note - haleem tastes heavenly here.
A very good place. And their shikampur kebab is worth a try. The art on the wall just opposite to the restaurant also adds a great ambiance to the restaurant. And most importantly the food is served super quick unlike other restaurants.
The Place Drives me Crazy for the Mouth watering Haleem!!
The only place where u get the best Haleem off the Ramdan Season.
Haleem and Biryani Gives the Asli Hyderabadi Feel
Ambiance and Service is also Great!!
Loved the Place!!

The food is yummy....we ordered for shikampur....a perfect melt in the mouth lamb patties...barkati bhuna waz also good but could b more spicy.....the service overall was slow....
Simple ambience. No loud music. Very food place for having a nice chit chat over lunch or dinner. Food is average. Didn’t find the authentic taste of Hyderabad. Service is quick and good.
Great ambience, well mannered staff, delicious soups, starters and desserts, Briyani needs improvement.
All in all a great place to hangout with friends and family.
Read a lot about this place and finally here on a weekend, the place was full till then!
Service here is pretty quick, Haleem served here is through out the year was a present surprise, especially because it was one among the best I ever tasted.
Each of the dishes that we tried, were something that I personally loved and would definitely visit the place again.
A place totally worth a visit if ur a part of the town and want to have a great meal and spent a pleasant time.
Dinner with family and friends at newly opened Zaiqa E Hyderabad, Opp Q Mart, Road no.2, Banjara Hills
Ordered Haleem, Marag, Luqmi, Shikampur, Sona zafrani Tikka, Lagan Ka Murg, Talawa Gosht, Naan, Egg Biryani, Badam ka Kund and Gajar Ka Halwa.
Wanted to order Mutton / Chicken Biryani but they ran out of them.
Most of the food was mildly spiced and was overall a huge hit with everyone. Highlights of the meal were Haleem, Marag, Shikampur and Biryani. Excellent meal, not even one item was bad. If I were to nitpick I would say Talawa Gosht could do with more flavor. Even the Salan and Raitha were very good.
Will definitely come back soon.
-Happy customer who loves good food
The ambiance is nice, easy to locate, facing the main road with an antique car at the bay. The mutton curry was finger licking good and the fresh lime soda wasn’t bitter which happens with most restaurants. The owner was present and seemed approachable with a sweet smile. Overall a nice experience.
The best gourmet fine dining experience during my trip to india - authentic Hyderabadi food in a superb ambience peppered with non intrusive service.
Went back to this restaurant again and it’s taste was still the same.
Loved the luqmi and marag (mutton shorba) and the Hussaini murg masala (red and spicy)
Went there with a group of friends to try famous non vegetarian hyderabadi delicacies. This place is a stunner!!! Each and every dish we ordered was outstanding. Tried Lamb Marag soup, Mutton Shikampur kabab, Mutton Lukmi, Chicken 65, Tala hua Gosht, Haleem, Chicken Kabab. Also ordered badam kund in dessert which again was awesome(sorry-pic not available).
Loved the food here. I mean nothing can go wrong. Generally, hyderabadis prefer spicy food. But the food here is spot on. It won't be spicy, but perfect composition of flavours which blend so amazingly to give you the authentic taste of food. Must try dishes are Haleem, Barkati bhuna gosht and kheema naan. I mean...it's just finger licking good.
Finally been to this place on popular demand for having some traditional hyderabadi food. The menu is really great and this place is really rich and classy.
Ordered shorba that was served with a mutton piece and no sides. The taste was good but not that thick like a real mutton shorba and unlike a soup too. Ordered tradtional hyderabadi lukmi which was served with green chutney and the lukmi was filled with good mutton but was not that tasty too, was much like a rich lukmi unlike regular irani spicy lukmi.
The ambience is really great with few hyderabadi glimpses and old clocks and wall cutlery. The service was great. The prices seemed a bit higher and a water bottle was priced 60/- and later they reduced that after a discussion, these things should be taked much care. This place is easily noticeable from a regular traffic.
Zaiqa-e-hyderabad is so true to its name...truly the taste of Hyderabad. This is one fine dining restaurant where you get to taste the authentic Hyderabadi cuisine. It is ideally located and so easily accessible from most parts of the city. If you are a visitor to Hyderabad, then it should be on your must visit restaurant’s list.
Must have dishes here are Luqmi, biryani (the mirchi ka saalan served as accompaniment is best in the world 🤩) , shikampur, and badam ka kund for dessert.
Zaiqa-e-Hyderabad presents the quintessential Hyderabadi cuisine thats apparently not spicy but flavourful!
The typical taste of the dish comes from the good quality of ingredients, right blend of spices. Stepping aside from the typical spicy Hyderabadi food tagline, Zaiqa e Hyderabad serves some flavourful food to the wonderful people of Hyderabad.
The typical Hyderabadi dishes - Marag, Nihari Paya, Lukhmi, Tala Hua Gosht, Yakhni Biryani are few of the specialties served here that never disappointed me.
Very nice place. Food is awesome. Specially Haleem, Biryani and double ka meeta
One of the best fine dining places for biryani
This place is all about proper hyderabadi food available in Muslim weddings
Our favourites here are
Kachi ghost ki biryani
Haleem (which is available 365 days)
And their kebabs
Authentic Hyderabadi food and biryani, Very nice ambience and courteous staff. We had haleem which was too good, then mutton biryani with generous pieces of mutton , followed by kheema naan which melted in our mouth. Desert was khubbani ka meetha again too good
Nehari Paya Soup is a must try if you are a soup lover. Their Hussaini Murgh and Pathar ka Gosht are eye-catchers in the main course arsenal
Nice little room place. Food was good, starters and Haleem was near perfect. Service was impeccable.
Kheema stuffed nan was okayish and so was asaf jahi gosht.
Well priced with dishes ranging from 200-400 and No service charges.
The restaurant is centrally located, the interiors are lovely, especially the collage of pics of old Hyderabad. The food was good too. The shaami kebabs and mutton leg roast was nice and tender. The marg soup though was a bit spicy to be had as a soup and it should have been served with small naan that one could have with it.
