Hyderabadi Adda -(Mandi & Biryani Co.) takes pride in bringing out the amazing textures and most refined authentic flavours of a wide variety of hyderabadi dishes in our Montreal city .
Hyderabadi Adda draws praise for authentic Hyderabadi flavors and generous portions, with many reviewers highlighting the chicken dum biryani and other biryani varieties as well as rich, balanced spices that can be spicy and deeply satisfying. Several long-time diners say the food is among the best in Montreal and note the quality and price as strong points, though some feel the signature dishes have seen a decline in taste compared to earlier visits. Service and dining experience are mixed, with instances of friendly, attentive staff and smooth takeout contrasted by reports of slow service, long waiting times, and at times unprofessional behavior. Hygiene and presentation issues are raised by a number of reviews, including dirty cutlery and glasses and concerns about dine-in cleanliness, leading some to prefer takeout. Packaging quality and accuracy of pickup times are occasionally criticized, along with frustrations over delays and inconsistent timing information. Overall, Hyderabadi Adda remains a popular destination for biryani lovers seeking bold flavors and generous portions, but potential diners should be aware of variability in service, timing, and certain hygiene concerns, and be prepared for possible waits or menu fluctuations.
Update: I received call from the owner. He was really interested in getting feedback back & addressing my concerns. I will go back to try again.

This place is no longer worth it. I've been ordering from this restaurant since it first opened, & I've seen the quality steadily decline - but today was the lowest point.
First, the pickup time was over an hour (understandable for a Friday evening). However, the food quality was unacceptable.
The biryani is nowhere near what it used to be. The tandoori chicken had excessive coloring, & worse, it was not cooked through.
This is a serious health concern - undercooked chicken can lead to food poisoning.
Updating my review, as the quality & taste of food is not the same as before, for me & my family. Specially your signature Chicken DHUM biryani's taste has declined a lot! The old taste was great then what happened, please aim to bring old taste back !?
I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant & I have to say, the food was absolutely delicious! The Biryani was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, & beautifully presented. The ingredients were fresh, & you could really taste the quality in every bite. I highly recommend trying their'' Biryani 65 boneless chicken'' , it was a standout for me rich, flavorful, & incredibly satisfying. The atmosphere was not that good however, service was top-notch. If you're looking for a place that delivers both amazing food & a great dining experience, I definitely suggest giving it a try!'
Had Karivepaku Chicken, Creamy Kaju Chilly Chicken & Lamb Boneless Biryani. All the food items are good & tasty. The service is good. Needs to improve on hygiene.
Firstly, the Biryani was not Biryani, it was more like chicken & rice. Secondly, we specifically asked for less spice, but the message was not conveyed by the waiter therefore what we got was a totally inedible dish, that wasn't close to what was advertised.
This place for take away is really very good, the Main Course Dilkush Biryani, Starter/Appetizer Tandoori chicken also in Appetizer Karvepaku chicken is very good.
If you want to try Lassi - Mango Lassi is also good.

A disappointing experience. We ordered the Karvepaku chicken starter & the
Creamy cashew chilli chicken Biryani.
The starter was Luke warm & the chicken was very chewy. There were no flavors & it was simply just spicy.
The Biryani was not Biryani at all. It was just rice with chicken gravy poured on top. The raita was water with a pinch of yogurt. When we expressed this to our waitress, she said'ohh is it your first time. I wouldn't have recommended that'. I was so surprised with the reply.
The restaurant was completely empty & just one person taking orders, delivering, taking phone orders. It took me 12 minutes to just get spoons. Very disappointed.

I've been there multiple times. The biryanis are really tasty - especially the Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani. I also like the side gravy they serve with some dishes.
They add a lot of color in the food. I am not sure if that is even legal to add that much of a color. I observed couple of times that after i eat paneer masala or something similar my fingers look as if it was after holi.
Karivepaku chicken appetizer it's the most unhealthy appetizer you serve. I fell sick especially whenever I had it.
good thing about this place is the quantity to price ratio it's the best.
Ordered a family pack of Karivepaku Biryani. The quantity was good for four people, but the amount of chicken was too little. While the chicken had good flavor, the rice was disappointing-bland, lacking aroma, & felt low quality.
Also, the staff could have been more welcoming & at least smiled.
Overall, not the best experience.
The spice levels were perfect, & the portion sizes were impressive. I had the Dilkhush Chicken Biryani paired with Kashmiri Chicken Chilli-absolutely delicious! This has become my go-to spot for flavorful biryani with generous servings. It's a paradise for bachelors, offering great value for money. Definitely worth every penny, & I'll be coming back for more!
Too much food colour in biryanis. 50% of chicken meat in biryani & starter looks fresh & 50% of them feels like we are eating leftover cooked chicken terribly hard to chew(almost like a chewing gum)
