The Bottom Line

Mezbaan Hyderabad Palace Restaurant was a Hyderabadi-focused restaurant in Al Karama, with reviews centred on biryani, haleem and other Indian Mughlai dishes. Diners also mentioned talawa gosht, murgh malai, chicken angaara and family-sized portions for delivery. Several reviews praised the biryani as authentic or excellent, while haleem was often treated as a signature order.

The strongest food reports are quite specific. One family enjoyed murgh malai, chicken angaara and dhal makhni, while the batter-fried broccoli and cauliflower reportedly stayed crunchy after 30 minutes. Another diner liked the tender Jhilmil tikka and reshmi paneer.

There were also positive comments about a clean setting, friendly service and low-budget family meals. The experience was far from consistent. Reviews describe 40-minute waits, late deliveries, missing buffet items, poor cleanliness and occasional food-quality concerns.

One customer said a four-person combo appeared on the menu at AED 105 but was billed at AED 145, so checking the bill was sensible. Ask about biryani availability and haleem preparation dates before ordering. Most importantly, a review states that the restaurant closed permanently in 2020, and another says it was no longer at the location.

Treat the food comments and prices as historical, and verify whether the business is operating before going.
