Customer Review Summary
The recurring complaints are about service and the dining room. One reviewer who ordered the weekend baby lamb mandi was told to wait, then waited another twenty minutes with no update, and was asked again whether they wanted lamb or chicken mandi. Another called the Shahi Combo and Chicken 65 poorly prepared and lacking flavour, with a rude server. A third found service too slow and the atmosphere not good for families, after a fight between customers. Tables left with dirty dishes were also noted.

“Good food.Service was too slow. Atmosphere is not very good for families. Had a drunken guy engage in fight with another customer. Would need to work on customer service and improve service and restaurant hygiene”

“Me and my friends come to this restaurant almost every week because we love their biryani. But this time I wanted to try something different, so we ordered their mixed platter mandi. The taste was really good. I would definetly recommend to try this, if you like something flavourful but mild (spiceness wise) the same time.”

“Really enjoyed my visit here. Rihan and Fahad were great—friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the start. The place had a nice, relaxed vibe too. The food was honestly the best part—full of flavour and really satisfying. You can tell it’s made properly. I’d definitely come back again and would recommend it to others.”

“I recently visited Charminar Restaurant and had a great experience. I ordered their chicken biryani and haleem, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The chicken biryani was flavorful, perfectly spiced, and cooked just right. The haleem was rich, tender, and full of authentic taste. A special mention to Amer Shaik for his excellent service. He was polite, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our visit.”
- Sam Riz
“Charminar Restaurant's food was very good, especially the Hyderabadi lamb biryani and the custard fruit dessert. Both were flavorful and well prepared. The service was also great. Mr. Fahad was very attentive and treated every customer with genuine care and warmth. Overall, a pleasant dining experience and I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Location : Leyton”
