Everything felt like Hyderabadi except the tea, needs to change. I would suggest the owner to start Zafrani Tea, it will definitely bring you business increment. Will definitely visit again before returning back to London"

"One of the best restaurants in Makkah for indian cuisine. It specialises in Hyderabadi food, Baghara khaana and Biryani is must try in this restaurant. Service is slightly slow, which needs improvement, although staff is quite friendly and well behaved. Tea is also served along with several other indian snacks like samosa and pakora. Best to visit for Friday lunch."

"I had the pleasure of dining at Charminar Restaurant, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The Hyderabad biryani was exceptionally flavorful, cooked to perfection, and reflected authentic Hyderabadi taste. The food quality was outstanding, and the service team was courteous and attentive. A great place for anyone who loves genuine biryani and excellent hospitality. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"One of the best Hyderabadi biryanis in Makkah is Charminar Biryani in Aziziya is a solid choice if you’re craving real Hyderabadi biryani. The flavor, aroma and tenderness of the mutton easily match some of the top spots in Riyadh. It’s honestly one of the best biryanis you’ll find in Makkah. A small suggestion: the South Indian dishes like idllis, dosa, sambar and chutney could use a bit more authenticity and consistency. The rest of the menu is good, but improving those items would take the place to another level. Overall, great food, good service and definitely worth visiting if you miss proper Hyderabadi taste while in Makkah for Umrah or Hajj."
