Hyderabad Express

Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts! It really seems like butter chicken and braised lamb shank are just guaranteed hits no matter where I go. On the creamier side, the butter chicken brings a distinct sweetness and comes with your choice of naan, The lamb shank was cooked to tenderness in a tangy tomato sauce, that brings brightness to each bite and contrasts the fattier parts.

The flavors were absolutely unforgettable! Every bite was a burst of authentic spices that blended perfectly. The biryani was rich and aromatic, the curries were creamy and full of depth, and the naan came out hot and fluffy. Truly a taste of India and Pakistan on one plat

I recently visited Hyderabad Express and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Now let's talk about the food - it was simply amazing! The flavors were authentic and the dishes were prepared to perfection. I particularly enjoyed the biryani and the haleem, which were both bursting with flavor. Apart from these their best dish is Lamb Shank and Chicken tikka is a must try.The portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Hyderabad Express and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Indian-Pakistani cuisine food. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was outstanding. I will definitely be coming back again soon!

Hyderabad Express is hands down one of the best desi food spots in Toronto! The taste is absolutely authentic — especially the Chicken and Beef Dum Biryani, and the Veg Special Curry was packed with flavour. What made the experience even better was the amazing service. Safina and Nabeel were super friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect. Their hospitality truly made me feel at home. If you're missing real Hyderabadi food, this place is a gem! Highly recommended!

For halal & reasonable prices, this restaurant is great option in downtown. I tried a few items here. I strongly recommend Chicken biriyani & Lamb Shank. You won't regret trying these two items, in my opinion. And friendly service is another positive side & they are also very quick. They'll serve in a few minutes. Food & service 10/10. So, if you live nearby or come to this area, definitely try these two items.

The Chana Masala was the best out of what I bought. The taste was nice and balanced. The beef and potato curry was good and the beef pieces were very soft, decent amnt of beef chunks and the gravy was a bit on the thick side but was still good. The Chicken Biryani was decent but I like mine less busy (less seasoned). It had a drumstick and a thigh. The samosas (veggie and chicken) are a 1/5 stars, tasted like nothing but yet very spiced dense and microwaved when served in store, making it soggy with oil. It leads me to believe that the oil is not hot enough when frying and/or they need to stop microwaving and maybe invest in a toaster oven cause soggy samosas with all that competition out there now, is unacceptable. The packing of the naans were lazy, just shoved in a brown papebag so it was hard as a rock by the time I brought it home. Most places would foil the hot naans so it stays warm and soft. Also it tasted store bought. I may go back to try the Palak paneer and daal makhani since the actual dishes were not offensive.
