Went here (quiet randomly) today around 1 PM for lunch. The outlet was pretty empty and we were greeted by the staff gleefully.
The ambiance is decent, pale yellow lights and pleasant instrumental music in the background.
The service is quick.
We ordered HotnSour soup and Manchow soup.
(Latter was better than the former)
Skipping starters we ordered Adrak Paneer and roti's for main course, which was absolutely delicious. Thick creamy and rich gravy, soft paneer chunks, topped with ginger julienne. Flavourful Fragrant.
The quantity was more than sufficient for the two of us.
Overall, it was a good experience.
Decent food with good ambience.nice veg thali. They also good breakfast options

I was looking for a place to have lunch and since the friend I was with is a vegetarian I decided to bring him to this place. I ordered a South Indian thali for myself and a Special veg thali for my friend.
The only difference among both is that the special thali has an extra tomato soup, dahi vada, raita, paneer curry and instead of puris it had Butter naan. All the five curries of both thalis are same.
Both the thalis tasted good and the service is also very efficient. It is located in the basement of the Taj tri star hotel on the Sarojini devi road and it has a very relaxed ambiance.
* BREAKFAST BUFFET REVIEW*
This breakfast buffet by TMH is hosted at Dakshin madappa's restaurant.
Priced at 205/- it's a great deal for your lazy days when you just want to sit around in a nice cozy place and eat good food.
The spread is predominantly South Indian with vadas, idli, pongal, upma and live counter fresh dosa.
3 varities of outstanding chutneys.
Poori and spiced parathas.
Fresh milk bread along with milk and assorted cereals, mini bagels, and souffle.
Everything was made fresh and hot. Special mention for the upma and pongal. I couldn't have enough of those.
Overall
Food 5/5
Service 4/5 (though it's mostly self service, they
failed to pick up our plates after we were done with our round.)
Value for money-5/5
*negative*
The mrp on the water bottle Was 20/- but they charged us 30/-. On confronting they said that is how much the restaurant has priced it at, which is technically illegal.
Well not v happy with the ambience it's normal and ordinary....but this place with my regular visits off late has become close to my heart. Because it has a good balance of south n North Indian spreads in the buffets(lunch, dinner n breakfast) and it's a icing on the cake wen one is south Indian food lover n one is north food lover their buffet spread always helped us to reduce arguments for south over north n vice versa😉 and the taste and the quality they maintain has been good.
And unknowingly this bacame our place for birthday.. anniversary breakfast days...we love to start any if our special days or some leaisure days wid a breakfast buffet.
The pricing for the food and the ambience is totally justified.
In all always a good option in d city for veg lovers.
Great food and ambience. Quality varies time to time. Weekday experience usually good but, on a weekend it’s more like an usual dhaba experience and clearly won’t get the Taj Mahal experience.
Very nice place. Nice ambiance. Decent quality of food. Not too spicy, very tasty. Preferably for vegetarians best place to try. Must try...
I actually liked the menu, I.e the varieties they tried. Almost of the items u may feel like to try it. And the food was really good and delicious. I gave 4.5 just for the feel sitting in a underground floor. Else no comments on the restaurant and food... Nice
Soups are good as there is variety of flavours in it. Main course is little bit disappointing in taste. Best option available to eat a balanced diet food is through buffet lunch or dinner but tastes average. Overall out of 5/3.5 from my side
Easily the most hygienic and tastiest veggie restaurant in the city. The food is equally amazing and the service ever better! People there genuinely take an interest in serving you.
A fabulous vegetarian restaurant in Secunderabad.
The ever famous Taj Tristar. Any day, nothing much could go wrong with quality of the food or service.
Very neatly maintained, decent service and valet parking too.
North Indian dishes are not to be missed. None of them. Specially Paneer Tikka.
Awesome...everything! They have everything. Everything I could ever ask for. Super gooey pizzas, sumptuous buffets, and really awesome North Indian food. What's not to like!?
Food here has Excellent taste and there is variety in menu. I guess they have some of the best & experienced chefs in the kitchen. Definitely my number one choice for veg food. The ambience is also very nice. Some of the items though are overpriced.
Great Food, Great Tastes, Great Ambiance, Great Service, Good Location. Altogether It's Taj Tri Star. I really enjoyed this place with my family 3-4 times. It's really worth of price and Ratings. The pawn outside this restaurant is good too. Really good and should visit once if you are in Hyderabad.
Good ambience . Great service . And most of all, good food. For Those who are new to this place The tristar executive thali is worth a try. South Indian items are better when compared to the North Indian ones
Decent place in Secunderabad to have a good South Indian . Rasam idli was outstanding, uttapam good, idli & rawa dosa good . Service excellent. Aloo 65 was ok , didn't try North Indian
In the base ment of taj tristar hotel this is located..
Food is great you get nice south indian thali over here..
Thali has all the major things what you get and quality is superb..
Its reasonable priced and must try..
Great food!i had South Indian thali here and it is delicious! You must try! Yet to try other delicacies here like the dosa,vada ,idly,uttapam and a la carte
The restaurant is in the basement of hotel taj TriStar, pure veg, I had breakfast here and it's really good, from fruits to idly-dosa to paratha to sandwich , lot of options for veggies.

This is the best place I hav ever seen where they serve good good food and also reasonably priced. I hav tried all the three buffets. The morning breakfast buffet , the afternoon n night buffets and also the high tea buffet. Loved every thing. And Also a very good place for the family get togethers.
Galaxy restaurant is inside Taj Tristar and I have heard from my Hyderabad friends that it is indeed one of the value for money go to breakfast restaurant for sure in the city. This restaurant turns multi cuisine restaurant at dinner time.
Ambiance – This restaurant has really good ambiance. Orange and other colours theme adds the power to the ambiance. There are many tables with some having sofa sitting as well. So I do not think there would be an issue with seating capacity. Spread of breakfast is nicely kept on various sections. This has two entrance. One for guests staying in hotel and other entrance from outside for customer who are not staying in hotel. One big round ceiling with yellow-orange colour adds the punch element with nicely kept big vase at centre.
Food – Since we went there for breakfast, this review is purely for breakfast and we have not tried anything apart from it. A range of spread is kept for breakfast.
They have many varieties of south Indian spread as well as English spread. There were Idlis of course which was soft and fresh hot. Live dosa added with ghee was very delicious. Every time when we asked for dosa, chef got the perfect texture on dosa every single time correct. Same for the Uttappa. Kudos for this. They have muffins, yummy Danish pastry, Parathas with pickle, soft croissant, bread (sadly when we asked, there was no whole wheat bread) which you can toast, butter, delicious homemade jams – mix fruit and orange, chutneys – coconut /green/ tomato which were really tasty, hot puri-sabji, mendu vada, buttermilk, hot / cold milk, oats, corn flakes / chocoes, cut fruits, mango juice / grapes juice. Gosh, they had so many varieties that I cannot even remember.
I have purposefully split the line here and want to mention tea. Those who prefer strong tea with milk, they make bloody really awesome tea. One of the best tea I have ever had in any restaurant. Just ask for sugar cube if you want to add more sugar. What an awesome tea that was. I am still missing that taste.
Service – It’s a breakfast spread so it’s a self-service. Though if you ask they will surely get you on your table. Staff is humble and polite.
It is 100% value for money breakfast spread. I definitely recommend having breakfast here if you are around this area.

An all time favourite. They have everything ranging from snacks like French fries,chaat ,sandwiches to Pastas, South Indian and North Indian food! The ambience is nice and bright and the staff is very friendly.
Absolutely love this place. The ambience is nice, staff very nice indeed and the food is perfect for the price. Good, wholesome vegetarian food from Puris and made-to-order dosas to paranthas and vadas, this breakfast buffet is ideal for meetings or early brunches without burning a huge hole in your pocket. Galaxy Coffee Shop is ideal for meet ups with colleagues or friends. I'm quite fond of this place since I was 12 years old. :)

This place is one of our families regular for almost 14 years now. Every time we go, we come out with a smile. Great food with great service.. Keep it going..
My friend suggested it for Chola Batura, which tasted absolutely nice. I then tried the pasta, which wasn't great. It took a while for the staff to get the bill. The ambience is ordinary. If you are visiting, do try Chola Batura.
If there's nowhere to lunch, then there is a galaxy of dishes to choose from in Galaxy coffee shop. Been a veggie, I prefer the veg section on the ground floor and I must say that the service along with the served menu is not bad at all. Good ambience and at reasonable price is all what you can ask for on a hot summer day. However its still not the best around. There is still scope of improvement, though.
Been here for sometime. i felt service is not that good. Taste was good. Ambience was ok. Seating was also good :) Being a coffe shop i feel they could have included different varieties of coffees here. :)
Nice place with peaceful ambience.
We went there in Sunday evening by chance. Well at that time it was deserted. Soft music was playing which was adding to the soothing environment of a coffee shop.
We ordered hot brownie with vanilla ice cream. We were expecting sizzling brownie but disappointed to get brownie with icecream in a tray. OK type dessert.
Waiters are well mannered and service is good.

Good place for discussion or formal meets...
Evenings and brunch time when other places don't serve food this is a very good place to go....
Ideal for early morning business meetings and kitty parties.. The buffet breakfast is priced very reasonably and it includes a decent fair. Dosas to wadas to sandwiches, they've got it all.. Can visit this place once in a while..
One of the better Veg. restaurants in Secunderabad area that use less oil and don't burn dosas. Decent ambience, good quality South Indian food, especially the
dosas- masala, palak, plain, corn, et al. For lunch or dinner, do not forget ordering Pahadi Dal with roti or jeera rice. Other stuff worth ordering - Subz biryani, pakoda basket, jeera aloo (made to order, not on menu), North Indian thali. Also, one of the few places with Buffet breakfast till 11.00am and Chat buffet from 4.00-6.30pm.

I visited this restaurant on a weekday for dinner and after going through elaborate menu we ordered Tawa Masala Pulao which is listed as the signature dish for the restaurant. The pulao served on a Tawa with small radius, so you can imagine the serving portion very little not even sufficient for single person. It was served with Curd, which is watery and this is not expected from the Taj Tristar stable. But the Pulao tastes awesome. Serving time is very fast, further we ordered MLA Dosa which is nicely roasted and the stuffing is very good. Sambar tastes authentic.
But, the quantities they are serving for rice dishes the prices are astronomical and the management should review the portions of the dishes.
Went to Taj Tristar after a long gap and was pleasantly surprised at the much needed facelift it got! The exteriors were beautified and so were the interiors by making it bright and neat. Although it is a multi-cuisine restaurant we have always associated Galaxy @ Taj Tristar with tiffins and mostly ate idli, vada, dosa and uttappam here. Recently been here for dinner and ordered soups, pasta, pakoda platter and brownie with icecream other than the usual tiffin items and loved every one of them.
The harabara dosa which had pudina and spinach paste spread over the dosa along with some good amount of idli karam giving it the needed salt and spice over that bland-ish paste was very tasty. While I loved the dosa the sambar and chutney were not the best I've had.
Kids had pasta florentine. This was penne pasta tossed with creamy spinach sauce. With all the cream in it, it tasted heavenly and my kids licked their plates clean! We also got the button idli vada combo for kids. Very few restaurants have button idlis and galaxy is one of them and the good part is you can order button idly and vada as one dish.
The pakoda platter consisted of assorted bajji's like aloo, onion, cauliflower etc. They tasted good with some chat masala sprinkled on top but I would have liked a bit more crunchiness on the outside. They served this with mint and tamarind chutneys.
For dessert we had icecream with brownie. Loaded with nuts the brownie was so rich and delicious it tasted yummy.
Service was a little bit slow especially towards the end when the place was full but other than that it was good.
Folks looking for a veg restaurant in this area can try this place. The menu is not fancy or exhaustive but has a little bit of everything you can expect from a multi-cuisine restaurant. A total VFM place.
A good vegetarian restaurant. The ambience was good and the service was pretty decent. We went for a special south indian thali. All the items on the menu right from the welcome drink, starters, main course to the desserts everything were pretty good. Good place for a vegetarian. Completely worth the time and money. Good one.
Nice Ambience. Excellent Breakfast with a video variety of choices. Dosas are yummy. Service is quick. Try once to experience it.
Ended up eating here only coz there was a large waiting list for their main restaurant Dakshina Mandapa & boy was I glad it did!
Their NI Special Thali was finger lickin' good. Thick tomato soup with buttery croutons & a dollop of cream followed by a wholesome Thali comprising Naan/Puris, four wet curries, two dry fries, sambar, rasam, dahiwada, couple of chutneys n pickles, kandi podis & Biryani. Finished off with fruit salad & ice cream.
Identical to other NI Thalis at Minerva, Chuneys or Kamat but the taste was surely better than the others'.
Place has a coffee shop feel & was half empty when we entered. Service was courteous & prompt. Folks had the South Indian Thali & that was good too.
SI Thali was 160 incl. taxes & NI Thali was 195. Only sour note was they charged 40 bucks for bottled water which I expected to be on MRP.
Would love to return sometime and try out their tiffins & a la carte menu.
excellent food and ok ambience and affordable prices. their breakfast items are very good. ordered idli, the coconut chutney is very good and the sambar is delicious, they also served allam chutney and podi with ghee. for 40 rupees, excellent and healthy food. ordered assorted pakoda basket. it has mirchi bajji, paneer roll, capsicum, onion pakoda. no oil. even though its deep fried.
overall a very good experience
The best place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Anytime I went, they treated me well. Food was delicious, no matter what i ordered. There always will be some guy taking care of your needs without invading your privacy. It is a very serene place. If you have any problem with food or anything, just tell them. It will be sorted out soon. I have been going to eat here weekly since 10 years SO I can vouch for it...
I was surprised to see I haven't written a review for this one! its one of my favourite hangouts!
ambience: very welcoming and warm atmosphere. even with almosy full capacity doesn't get noisy and I love that!
service: very polite staff. prompt and helpful. service is good.
food: really nice. must try is the roast salad dosa, idli, tawa masala pulao. their food is high quality and leaves u wanting for more. I like the chat buffet and breakfast buffet on weekends too.
value for money: certainly. they price very efficiently for what they serve.

One of my favorite places to visit every time I come to Hyderabad. Still one of the best places for dosas. My favorite is the onion rava dosa and pessaretu. This is a rare treat for me as few Indian restaurants in the US even offer this on the menu...the few that do don't come close to TAJ TRISTAR quality. coffeshop also offers north Indian fare and some Indo-Chinese cuisine. Staff is very attentive and service is fast. Seating is good. Very moderate prices. Excellent value for the money.
Flavours of Taj Mahal - TMH is the restaurant in Taj Tri Star that serves the Tiffin, Thali and Ala Carte options.
Thali is usually available for Lunch and dinner as well and used to be decent.
I have tasted both South Indian tiffins and North Indian dishes here.
Food is pretty decent and for those who are looking for only Vegetarian options, this is one good restaurant. During the evening, they used to serve snacks - Bajji, Bonda, Pakora. Tea and coffee also used to be good.
This hotel has a good Ambience and atmosphere and is good for Kitty parties.
Service also used to be good.
Went for a family lunch on a weekday. Ambience was good. Less occupancy. Staff was courteous. Service was good. Food was delivered in reasonable time. A far as taste is concerned, fried rice was good. Dum biryani was just ok, bottom part was burnt(vegetables). Paneer butter masala was ok. Tomato soup was good. Manchurian was a bit chewy. Gulab Jamon was good. Overall i would say go here for a relaxed family eating experience. Taste was average.
The veg thali especially is amazing for lunch....they have unlimited food offer for it.. served with a delicious ice cream at the end....must try for any veg lover.
Rare to find such quality north Indian breakfast in Hyderabad.
The restaurant offers a pleasant experience with excellent taste. Don't miss the must-try Ghee Karampodi Idly, a delightful dish. The ambiance is enjoyable, creating a relaxing dining atmosphere. Moreover, the restaurant is less crowded, allowing for a peaceful and enjoyable meal.
The buffet standard has reduced over the years. The number of items in the spread has gone down drastically. Starters were minimal but tasty. Main course consists of different options to choose from. Desserts were basic.

One of he best restaurants in the city of Hyderabad located in secunderbad. Best hotel for the vegans as they doesn't serve non veg. The infrastructure is cool, food is delicious, well mannered waiters, super cool themes on the wall last but not least the food is delicious.
Good ambiance, neatly maintained restaurant, quality food but not tasty
Nice place to eat for vegetarians. South Indian Thali is very good and a must try dish.Variety of Dosas are available.Taste is superb. Hospitality is very good. A must visit place in Secunderabad near Railway station area.
