The Hyderabad Indian Grill Nicollet Ave Minneapolis

Stopped in with a big group pretty late at night and was handled well. The food here was awesome and would definitely return for the lamb briyani which was our favorite. Butter chicken and beef makhani was also great. Got 4/5 spice levels and was perfect unless you like it really hot. Service was fine and not really bad enough where I’d take a star away because the food was that good. Prices were really solid too!

We had a wonderful meal here with plenty of leftovers for 2 more meals! My partner is GF and DF, and it's so nice that the menu spells out GF, DF, and NF on all their items. There are plenty of things to eat that are GF, DF so we had no problems finding items that we liked. We ordered 4 dishes, Mix Veggie Pakora, Lamb Curry, Hyderabad Egg Biryani, and Aloo Gobi. All were fantastic and bursting with flavor. We ordered everything as a medium spicy and they were perfect. One was a little more spicy than the rest, but that was also nice. This restaurant looks more like a takeout, but eating in is also just fine. When we were there, there were 4 other groups eating in, and about 4 takeout orders during our stay. We wish that more people would be eating there so that everyone can experience the great food they serve up.

We stopped in bc we were at Goodwill, and we've been to your other locations before. Some things to note: 1. There's no soap in the unisex bathroom. My husband let the employee know. Even though there is a sink in the lobby area, it has a sign that says use of sink not allowed, or something like that. 2. We weren't told ahead of time, that the ONLY way you can tip, is to tell the waiter BEFORE he brings the check to you. We had no idea of this rule, so when we got the check, with no pen, my husband went to go ask for a pen, and the other guy (more hair & stocky guy asked 'why?' We said we had to sign it & give a tip. (??) That's when he said, oh you need to tell the waiter ahead of time, bc it's rung differently, and that most people usually give a cash tip. OK, come on now, don't you think you're shooting yourself in the foot by NOT telling the customer this 1st? We had no cash on us. My husband looked in the cash tips jar, and there were only coins. 3. When we ordered, we asked the waiter if there was any green things(herbs) on the TWO naan that we wanted? He said, "cilantro? Yes." We said we didn't want anyyyyyy cilantro. We reiterated, "no green stuff." He repeated the order back to us. We got the potato naan & garlic naan. Guess what it had on AND in it? Green herbs (cilantro!). Icky. But we decided to eat it anyways. Sadly to say, we left a lot at the end of the meal. He hadn't checked on us till the very end of our meal (we were the only diners, but there were a few door dashers). He asked how our meal was? So I brought up that we asked for no green herbs, and yet here we are, both Naans have green herbs! And he had the audacity to say, "oh, well it comes that way?" Please, listen differently, or just say "no special requests." Enjoy my photos, I do take pics of the floors, in case you use a wheelchair/walker/rollinator/cane , and need to know the rugs /tile situation.

First time eating here and we were Not disappointed!! The food was Phenomenal!! As soon as we walked in we could smell the flavors and could tell the food was going to be Amazing! Spicy Flavorful Hot Fresh!! So fresh!! Service was top notch and very friendly! We ordered: Vegetable Samosa Garlic Naan bread Lentil Soup Chicken "65" Biryani Chicken Tandoori Leg & Thigh It was Perfect for a cold 1° Minnesota night!

A flavorful stop this Hyderabad Indian Grill was, even on a snowy Minnesota afternoon. Inside, the space is simple and quiet, but worry not, young Padawan—here, the magic happens on the plate, not in the décor. Ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala, I did, and strong with the flavor it was. Rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced—a comforting bowl of warmth that could thaw even a Hoth-level chill. The Paneer Naan made an excellent companion: soft, toasty, and generously filled, each bite reminding me that carbs are the true path to the Light Side. The menu itself is vast, offering everything from street bites to biryanis to dosas—a full galactic map of Indian cuisine for future visits. Service, however, hovered somewhere in the “just okay” range. Not unkind, simply not as attentive as the Force might prefer. Still, for bold, soul-soothing flavors, this spot delivers. Return, a Jedi surely will… especially for that naan.

Good spicy vegetable samosas. Refreshing and spicy green sauce. Sweet and tangy red sauce. Curry chicken momo is good and flavorful. Medium spicy is definitely spicy minnesotan spicy. Pretty good lamb korma. Medium spicy is much lighter than on the momos. Good texture on the paneer. Tender and wellcooked lamb, and you can still kind of taste the meat itself. Large, buttery, garlicy naan. Nice standard mango lassi, medium sweet and lightly tangy.

The food was great. Definitely going back. Saved the place in phone. For my sister's first time she loved it as well. Their spiciness is top also. :) customer service great very polite and relaxing there.

Walked up to this spot on a freezing 0-degree night and the front door was straight-up locked. Had to call the restaurant like I was trying to get buzzed into a speakeasy just to be let in. Once inside, they locked the door behind us immediately—like we were being sealed in a low-budget escape room. The waiting area looked like it hadn't been touched since 2003: chipped, cracked tile everywhere, and the single booth shoved right up against the wall so you can't even sit without your back screaming. Thermostat was set to a balmy 52 degrees. I was still wearing my coat, scarf, AND hat indoors and my fingers were numb. Asked the server to turn up the heat and he just stared at me like I'd asked him to solve quantum physics. Zero emotion, zero reaction—just a blank "this is fine" NPC face. Glitching hard. Food actually tasted pretty good, I'll give them that. The flavors were solid. But the portions were stingy for the price—felt like they were rationing during a siege. Between the locked-door paranoia, arctic dining room, broken furniture, and server who seemed to be running on Windows 95, this place gave me the creeps more than it gave me a meal. One star purely because the curry didn't suck. That's it. Never again.

I've never eaten at the restaurant itself, but they're open late and deliver through GrubHub, and always come through on my random 9pm cravings for Indian food. I was surprised by how much I love the street noodles, because I've never gotten those anywhere wide, and now it's part of my regular order here. Also, the paneer is especially good - the fresh texture makes me wonder if they make it in house.

Grabbed Hyderabad one day when I forgot to bring my lunch into work. Ordering ahead was very simple. Only issue was deciding what to get because everything looked so good + with so many vegetarian options I always get a little overwhelmed! (In the best way) The vegetable samosas were to die for. I will definitely be going back for these. I got Aloo Gobi for my main (with basmati rice, naan, and added tofu). It was so good. Excited to go back and try different dishes!

ZERO STARS -- HORRIFYING. ABSOLUTE SCAM. I've never felt so ripped off, disrespected, or outright scammed by a restaurant in my entire life. "Paneer pakora" = FOUR tiny, thumb-sized pieces "Mixed vegetable pakora" = cold, soggy, greasy, pathetic "Raita" = HALF FULL, like it was pre-scooped by someone's fingers This wouldn't pass as a snack for a child, let alone a full-price $20+ meal. Totally unacceptable. It felt like a social experiment: "How little food can we serve before someone files a complaint?" This is food fraud. If a health inspector saw what I received, this place would be shut down on the spot. SHAME on this restaurant for thinking this is okay. SHAME on DoorDash for enabling it. I've already filed for a full refund and will escalate if it's not approved. DO NOT ORDER. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT LIKE A DISEASE.

Great takeout, stir could use some ambiance. Right now it's just a good take out place for Indian food, which was very tasty

Wow I was impressed with my meal here. I got the chicken tikka masala and it was amazing! Huge portions too, 2 meals worth. The restaurant is currently under construction and not in the best area but def come for the food!

We enjoyed a quick and easy pick up meal with the kids. We were lazy to make food and it was on the way home, simple to order, large portion sizes and full of flavor. we'll be going back for take out again!

Some of my favorite Indian food in town. Do watch out for the whole spices, but you can always taste them. The service is... busy, I think most of their food is to go. Decor is stark. I love the Rogan Josh and veg samosa.

I will be honest about my review - I don't eat enough Indian food to really compare or judge it. I tend to crave chicken tiki masala and like to try different dishes. We tried the: Lamb Biryani, chicken tikka, and buttered chicken. The chicken tikka and buttered chicken are very "safe" choices if you aren't feeling adventurous. I love the creamy, slightly sweet, tomato base of these dishes and subtle Indian spices. The lamb biryani didn't have as much flavor as I would've thought. It was edible but I wished it had more flavor. I liked the onion in it but there were many pieces of raw onion.

Was this the best Indian food I've ever had? No. Was it still pretty darn good, especially for takeout delivery? Yes. One thing I really appreciated was the ability to explicitly order sides of tamarind chutney (or two in my case!). There's nothing that makes me sadder than not getting a side of the this yummy sauce (nay, delicacy). I also liked that you can order a solo-sized samosa -- and it was very good. Note to self: Medium Spice for the butter chicken (very good). Sadly, the garlic naan wasn't great. When I order this I'm hoping for delicious buttery naan with great garlic flavor, maybe some cilantro on top too. This wasn't that and I would not order it again.

We got veggie entrees and they were spicy enough (medium spice) but very bland seasoning/herb-wise and too much oil. The stuffed naan looked nothing like what was advertised in the photo on the menu. There wasn't even a thin layer of potatoes in the naan - just teeny tiny bits in a couple parts of the bread. If it hadn't been takeout I would have asked them to remake us another order. We'd eaten here one other time this year and it was okay but not this time. Even though going out is pricey everywhere nowadays, if one spends $50 on takeout for 2 people it should be good at least, if not great.

Transparency: i was exceptionally lazy tonight and ordered thru uber eats. ordered aloo naan, rec'd plain naan. was really looking forward to aloo naan. ordered vegetable coconut curry, med spice, added one kofta for an add'tl $2.45. spice level was s p i c y - not medium. spice level killed all other flavor in the dish. kofta was single bite sized, flat, dry, sad. this was . . . food.

My Issues were addressed. 2 star updated to 4. The downtown location is even better and deserves a 5

What a fabulous Indian restaurant! The staff was terrific and made great recommendations. The Korma was delicious and dinner was topped off with cardamom, pistachio bread pudding. Awesome. Give this spot a try. Very quiet if anyone in your party has hearing issues.

New location of a local chain, hooray for good Indian food by Diamond Lake It is a very basic interior that is...not fancy. But it is clean and functional Quick service, we ordered takeout and it was ready when they said it would be Food? Can't stop eating good Get full and need to eat more good Outstanding However, Indian mild is not US mild so you may find it to spicy. I found it all delicious especially the medium. First day open and the food is crazy good

I have driven by Hyderabad Grill numerous times as it is near my home and I finally stopped by for some take out. Food and prices were good so I expect I will return for take out. The ambience can best be characterized as dark and dismal so I can't imagine eating in. As is typical these days you walk in, place your order, pay and then they call you back for your food. They have a large menu but I went with a standby - chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The chicken was served with white basmati rice. I ordered mild spice which was not spicy at all. It was good. As another reviewer noted the naan was tough and dry and I would not order it again. I have had better Indian food but this was okay and I expect to return and be a little more adventurous with my selections. There is off street parking. The lot and sidewalk could do with some maintenance as I almost stumbled on the uneven surface - be careful particularly at night.

We enjoyed an amazing family dinner with options for everyone! We had 4 kids of varying ages that can be picky - but the rice, naan, chicken nuggets and fries made their day! We decided to share the other dishes family style and everyone enjoyed every one equally. We couldn't choose one favorite as they're all our favorites now. Whether you order the butter chicken, matar paneer, dal palak or lamb rogan josh you're guaranteed to enjoy every bite! We also enjoyed the vegetable samosas with the delicious mint chutney! I highly suggest eating here today and bring the whole family!

On a whim, we went to Hyderabad Indian Grill for dinner this evening. It was delicious! I had the Tikka Masala and the sauce was so good. It tasted great on the rice and was also a great dip for my naan. The naan was warm and fresh. Be aware, though, that the spice levels run from 1 to 5. I chose 2, and it was plenty spicy (and I like a fair amount of spice). My husband chose a level 1, and that was plenty spicy for him. I recommend you give it a try. They do a lot of takeout, so the next time you just want to bring something home to eat, give this restaurant a try.

This place is incredible. I love their vindaloo - it's actually so spicy!! Great naan, great variety. The staff is super nice.

I travel for work and always crave Indian food on the road. I ordered the Butter Chicken (Medium) with a side order of Garlic Naan. My order came delivered hot and amazingly large portions for one person. The butter chicken came with basmati rice and it was so incredibly fragrant it filled the entire room the minute I opened it. I've had butter chicken all over the country and hands down, my favorite butter chicken was from here. The perfect amount of spice, a little sweetness and filled with chicken. I could not stop eating this, and so happy I took a chance on this place. Big payoff.

Got takeout from here tonight and it was delicious! Portions were large enough for leftovers (yay!) and well packaged so that it stayed warm on the drive home. We were happily surprised that the 2 dishes we ordered each had some spice to them, since many places in MN stay on the milder side when it comes to spiciness. The garlic naan was fluffy and delicious as well. Would definitely order from here again!

Good was ok but the service is 1* at best! I ordered multiple items and they all came out late..so by the time I got my naan the paneer was already cold..

Great Indian food. Level of spice is perfect. Large portion (order comes with rice btw) is enough for a full meal for two. We ordered veg samosa, garlic naan breads, goat curry, palak/spinach paneer and chicken vindaloo for a group of 4. Each one worth ordering the next time we visit this place again; and of course plenty left to take home. As to the price, it is in the range of $15-$20 for the main dish which is reasonable considering the size of the meal.

Definitely a rival for our favorite Indian place! Would definitely recommend the chicken tikka masala and the paneer naan. The masala chai was very nice too! My only feedback was that the ordering system was confusing as you can only order at the kiosk. Dishes do not have descriptions so it is difficult to know what some of the dishes are. Will definitely return as everything we ordered was fabulous!

When I walked in there was not a person in sight, but someone came and sat us after a couple of minutes. I ordered butter chicken and garlic naan and was pleased with both the taste and serving size! I was able to specify spice level which was nice because I don't do well with spicy food. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

The quick and attentive, 'Mom and Pop' service is refreshing at the Hyderabad. From apps to entrees, everything we ordered was delicious. This place is on our list for Indian flavors. We will be back!

Pretty amazing how far the Indian food scene has evolved in the Twin Cities in the last 5 years. Hyderabad was really impressive. We tried the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, Dal Tadhka and paneer biryani. We had this order delivered and all 4 were fresh and delicious. Will be back for sure.

Curb appeal - not great Ambiance - average Service - very good Food - OUTSTANDING! Do NOT be fooled by external appearances! The outside of this building alone may be enough for some folks to give it a miss. But, trust me: you want to eat here. We came in and found we were the only patrons (understandable, as it was about 5 pm on a Sunday). Our party of four "gave it a go," and it was a delectable eating experience. We ordered samosas, the roasted cauliflower, and papa dams to start, then had some matar paneer and chicken Marsala with garlic naan. EVERYTHING was fantastic.

My husband, daughter and I went there a few weeks ago for the first time. It is pretty small, mostly takeout I think, but we grabbed a table and ordered 4 appetizers and 3 entrees and two types of bread (we wanted leftovers). Everything was utterly amazing! Some of the best Indian food we've ever had! The service was flawless! We will definitely go there again! (By the way, no leftovers because we couldn't stop eating!)

I'm a whitebread guy but born and raised in South India, so I'm always looking for food of that region. I'm not looking for white-tablecloth ambiance or fawning service. I want excellent food and friendly, no-nonsense service, even if one doesn't speak Telugu. Just had a very good meal (4 adults and 2 little kids) in the clean but spartan restaurant, while countless takeout customers came and went. The South Indian dishes (Hyderabad noodles and a veg biriyani) were excellent, promptly presented, and well-spiced at "medium". The North Indian dishes (saag paneer and baigan bharta) were good. Grandkids loved the mango lassi. The building and parking lot look slightly down-at-heel, but that's deceptive. The place is well worth a visit.

Not busy at all but should be!!! Waiter was so sweet and the food was amazing!! Recommend getting a bunch of stuff and sharing!! Will be returning for sure!!

I've ordered take out from here 4 times since it opened. Twice the food was ready when promised. Twice it took over an hour from when it was ordered after being told 20-35 minutes. If it's going to take an hour fine, just say so. Sitting around an empty restaurant waiting for take out is not my idea of a good time. Because of this not I'm not sure I'll be back. The staff are friendly. The last time the food was very late they gave me a complementary food item because of the delay which was a nice surprise. It did increase my rating. If it wasn't for the delays I would have given 5 stars. It's really too bad too because this location is very close to where I live. The food is hot when I get it home. The food is quite good. It's what has kept me coming back despite the delays. You can specify how spicy you want it. The Tandoori shrimp is amazing, the chicken too. The rice that comes with the Tandoori isn't to my liking, too heavy with the clove flavor but I can understand why others would like it. I do like the Indian Street Noodles. The Naan is great. The lamb samosas have a little heat, my mom would think it's too spicy but I like it. They have been making progress with remodeling the space. It's looking better.

Ordered through DoorDash, almost an hour later I have not heard anything and I've had three DoorDash delivery drivers cancel on me because they were waiting so long. I tried calling the restaurant and they never picked up. 0/5 stars.

Delicious food, good service, definitely one of the better places to eat in Minneapolis

The food was too salty for me that is why I gave it a 3. Portions are a good size. We had takeout. Chicken curry and Rogan josh with veggie samosas. The food comes with rice and sauce. We ordered extra sauce which wasn't necessary.

Amazing food. Friendly staff. Indoor decor hasn't been updated, but don't let that fool you. Sizable portions. The whole family found something like liked.

Love this place. Great portion sizes, variety of menu items, all high quality of course - not to mention your pick of spice level. What more could you ask for? My go - to spot whenever I'm craving Indian.

We ordered food a couple of times. Food has always been prompt and very good. The people working there have been very pleasant and professional. As long as you prefer spicy food, this is the place.

We are so glad to finally have real Indian food nearby! We order takeout and the spice level is the real deal so order accordingly. Sometimes the chana and dal dishes are a bit too salty but overall very solid.

Hyderabad is one of the highest quality Indian spots in the Twin Cities. The quality of their sauces is very good and their meats are the best quality compared to other Indian spots I've been to, in my opinion. Their portions as well are amazing and they give you alot! This is one of the spots I comfortably order delivery from too, knowing it's always consistent and portions are amazing (as in they give you alot) on the contrary to other places where you can see a decline in quality and portions and inconsistency when you order delivery, in this they are amazing and I was never disappointed. I actually prefer delivery from this restaurant rather than eating in store. I ate in the store once and the service wasn't my favorite and the ambiance was okay. For some reason, I just felt like I liked it much better when I order it online. I give this 5 stars due to how consistent and good quality their food is and their good portions as well, whenever I order from them, which completely supersedes anything I didn't like from when I ate in store. I recommend this spot if you want to order good quality, filling, Indian food (which you will probably have left overs from how much they give you). But for a dinner for a night out or a date, it wouldn't be my strongest recommendation unless you are only concerned about the food itself, in which I would recommend it strongly.

So disappointed in many ways. Forget the fact that I had to wait for my pick up order to be remade since they gave it to another customer, the fact that the place has zero ambiance and no service other than a kiosk to place an order... The food itself was not very enticing. Our chicken shahi korma should have been called cardamon shahi korma. We bit into at least five whole cardamon pods and fished out six or seven more. They must have gotten a special on cardamon pods as the rice was so strongly flavored it was bitter with the multiple pods that were in our boxes. All of the curries seemed to be made with the same base, which wasn't bad, but made for a boring dinner. The palak paneer was essentially a dish full the same sauce with a few pieces of cheese and almost no spinach. Was so looking forward to this place, but sad to say I'm pretty sure we won't drop $100 there again for takeout food of this quality.

This place is just good. Friendly staff, great food, and some garlic naan that's absolutely to die for. I had the lamb tikka masala and the lamb was cooked to perfection.

Great food, some family member recommended this chain restaurant. Went to try it and felt the food was delicious and authentic! Will go back!

Visited seeking Indian food in the area. Definitely not an eat in place (though you can) . Very spartan , little human interaction and geared for take out. For the cost the food was fair at best. More rice than sauce and paneer in the sauce. Flavor was just ok. And samosas are small, over fried and minimal filling.

We went here because our family was visiting and the food was amazing! I had the Chicken Curry and it was well seasoned and flavorful. We got a few appetizers as well and we enjoyed all of them. Our waiter was very friendly and made the experience easygoing. Its a wonderful spot if you prefer a quieter dining experience like us!

Excellent food and service. our favorite place for Indian food. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Garlic naan is to die for. I could live on that alone!!

The samosas are great - delicate pastry, well-seasoned filling, not at all greasy! The Dum ka chicken is tender and spicy - hot means hot here. The beef makhani medium is wonderful- creamy and luscious sauce!

My family loves Indian food, but unfortunately do not have anything close to home. But, while visiting IKEA this weekend we stopped by this gem for dinner and we all loved it!! Lamb tikka masala, butter chicken, chicken tikka, garlic naan, and mint chutney. Sooooo good - check it out if you're in the area!!

Great addition to the neighborhood. The butter chicken is phenomenal... we recommend this spot!

Super excited to have you in the neighborhood! Used to travel to Southtown but now in our backyard! Went on opening night. All was super great. Take out was timely and lamb tikka, palak paneer, samosas were all great.
